Wie Meditation, Achtsamkeit und buddhistische Praxis Ihr Leben positiv verändern
Immer mehr Menschen meditieren. Und auch die Lehre des Buddha hat schon lange die Mitte unserer Gesellschaft erreicht. Woran das liegt? Ganz einfach: Buddhismus wirkt! Denn er bietet praktische Wege, um in einer immer komplexer werdenden Welt die Dinge klar zu sehen und gelassen und erfüllt zu leben. Skeptisch? Das war Robert Wright auch. Dann begann der preisgekrönte Journalist der Sache auf den Grund zu gehen. Er fing an zu meditieren. Er wertete die neuesten Studien aus Medizin und Neurowissenschaft aus. Er sprach mit Forschern und buddhistischen Lehrern aus aller Welt. Und er stellte zweifelsfrei fest: Der Buddhismus trägt in höchstem Maße zu unserem körperlichen und seelischen Wohlergehen bei. Und jeder Interessierte kann hier und heute davon profitieren! Die Hardcover-Ausgabe erschien im Lotos Verlag unter dem Titel »Warum Buddhismus wirkt«.
