{"product_id":"emotional-awareness-overcoming-the-obstacles-to-psychological-balance-and-compassion","title":"Emotional Awareness: Overcoming the Obstacles to Psychological Balance and Compassion","description":"Two leading thinkers engage in a landmark conversation about human emotions and the pursuit of psychological fulfillment\n\nAt their first meeting, a remarkable bond was sparked between the Dalai Lama, one of the world's revered spiritual leaders, and the psychologist Paul Ekman, whose groundbreaking work helped to define the science of emotions. Now these two luminaries share their thinking about science and spirituality, the bonds between East and West, and the nature of our emotional lives.\n\nIn this unparalleled series of conversations, the Dalai Lama and Ekman push toward answers to the central questions of emotional experience. What are the sources of hate and compassion? What does science reveal about Buddhist meditation, and what can Buddhism gain from the scientific method? Here, they invite us to join them in an unfiltered view of two great traditions and two great minds.\n\nAccompanied by commentaries on emotion research and Buddhist teachings, their interplay―amusing, challenging, eye-opening, and moving―guides us on a transformative journey in the understanding of emotions.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0805090215\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.0805090215.A\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Lama, Dalai|Ekman Ph.D., Paul\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item is very worn but is perfectly usable.
