What Happens in Mindfulness: Inner Awakening and Embodied Cognition Teasdale John
Well known for applying mindfulness to the treatment of depression, pioneering researcher John Teasdale now explores the broader changes that people can experience through contemplative practices. What does it mean to talk of mindfulness as a way of being? What goes on in our minds when we are mindful?
Teasdale describes two types of knowing that human beings have evolved--conceptual and holistic-intuitive--and shows how mindfulness can achieve a healthier balance between them. From a scientific perspective, how do core elements of contemplative traditions have their beneficial effects? He masterfully describes the mechanisms by which this shift in consciousness not only can reduce emotional suffering, but also can lead to greater joy and compassion and a transformed sense of self.
