Beyond the Self: A Journey Through Meditation and Buddhist Wisdom
By Daniel Dean
Length1h 10m
About this audiobook
In "Beyond the Self," readers are invited to explore the human experience through meditation and Buddhist philosophy. Drawing on insights from Robert Wright, the book challenges the idea of a fixed identity, presenting the “self” as a dynamic construct shaped by emotions and interactions. By letting go of the illusion of a permanent self, individuals can achieve deeper personal growth and connection with others.
Meditation is introduced as a practical tool for developing mindfulness, allowing readers to observe thoughts and feelings without judgment. This practice builds emotional resilience, empathy, and compassion. The book also examines happiness, suggesting it is fleeting and best approached by accepting emotions and finding fulfilment in the present.
Integrating psychology and neuroscience, "Beyond the Self" explains how meditation changes our perceptions and relationships.
