Science and Buddhism
This is a truly wonderful book. Although written by a Tibetan Tulka (reincarnate Lama) Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche, it is a true blend of science and Buddhism. For those who are interested in the scientific answers to the working of the human mind you will find the answers here.
If like me, you follow a Buddhist Path this book is a truly remarkable piece of teaching from one of the Worlds most renowned Buddhist Teachers.
In this book Rinpoche explains how from a very young age he suffered severe panic attacks, how he dealt with pain and a host of other problems that people face.
I had the good fortune to have my copy signed at Kagyu Samye Ling Monastery in Scotland, while he was teaching there this summer 2007. He will be back there in 2008 - so, if you get the chance ... he is a wonderful person to meet - full of compassion and humour.

So much clearer
I would highly recommend this book to anyone interested in buddhism or just trying to cope with life. Makes certain concepts much clearer to understand.

Perfect
With this book I finally understand what meditation is about There is a detailed straight forward scientific explanation, followed by a step by step introduction to meditation open to everybody. I highly recommend it. The book is equally suitable to people who want to understand the workings of the mind, and those who have a spiritual leaning and would like to do some meditation, or just to calm down after a stressful day. It is the type of book that once you have read it, you will want to offer it to all of your freinds.
