Synopsis
The mind is Eknath Easwaran's life study: he understands it, and is an expert in teaching how to master it by making wise choices. This is his book on the mind. Eknath Easwaran is respected around the world as one of this century's great spiritual teachers. His reputation as an author and as a teacher rests largely on the practical appeal of his message and his penetrating understanding of the human mind. A lucid distillation of Eknath Easwaran's thinking on the mind: how it works, how to master it. "Nothing can be more important than being able to choose the way we think - our feelings, aspirations, and desires; the way we view our world and ourselves. Mastery of the mind opens avenues of hope. It means that we can begin to reshape our life and character, rebuild relationships, thrive in the stress of daily living, become the kind of person we want ourselves to be. I have written for those who want to understand not only how the mind works, but also how it can be changed." (From the Introduction)

How to change your life for the better
I read this book after reading Easwaran's "Take Your Time", which had introduced me to the idea that controlling your mind was the key to getting your life into balance. Like that book, "Conquest of Mind" is deceptively easy to read, full of stories that lead you gently through a set of ideas until Easwaran suddenly presents you with a conclusion that makes unarguable sense. If you want a book that is really going to help you change the way you live your life for the better, then you should try this book.
