POR QUE O BUDISMO FUNCIONA: COMO A PSICOLOGIA EVOLUCIONISTA E A NEUROCIÊNCIA EXPLICAM OS BENEFÍCIOS DA MEDITAÇÃO (9788543106366)

Um dos mais brilhantes escritores americanos, Robert Wright apresenta uma jornada pela psicologia, a filosofia e a meditação para nos mostrar que o budismo detém o segredo para a felicidade duradoura. A filosofia budista se baseia na afirmação de que nós sofremos – e causamos sofrimento aos outros – porque não vemos o mundo como ele é. E a prática da meditação traz uma promessa radical: é possível aprender a ver o mundo e a nós mesmos com maior clareza e, assim, alcançar uma profunda satisfação. Nesse livro pioneiro, definido como "sublime" pela revista The New Yorker, Wright afirma que levar essa promessa a sério pode mudar a sua vida, pois diminui o poder que a ansiedade, a culpa e o ódio têm sobre você, além de aumentar sua capacidade de apreciar as outras pessoas e a beleza do mundo. Com uma aguçada compreensão da evolução humana, ele recorre às últimas descobertas da neurociência e da psicologia para explicar como essa transformação acontece. Escrito com a sagacidade e a
