More and more people are meditating. The teachings of Buddha have long reached the heart of our society. What is the reason for this? Quite simply: Buddhism works! It offers practical ways to see things clearly and to live calmly and fulfillingly in an increasingly complex world. Skeptical? So was Robert Wright. Then the award-winning journalist set out to get to the bottom of it. He began to meditate. He analyzed the latest studies in medicine and neuroscience. He spoke with researchers and Buddhist teachers from around the world. And he found without a doubt: Buddhism greatly contributes to our physical and mental well-being. And anyone interested can benefit from it here and now.
