Living Deeply The Art and Science of Transformation in Everyday Life [Paperback]

This engaging distillation of the most recent scientific advances and perennial wisdom brings what we know about how people change their lives, off the mountain top, down from the ivory tower, out of the laboratory , and into the hands of readers. Springing fromt he Institute of Noetic Sciences' (IONS) studies of how people transform their lives, this book describes and discusses the implications of some of the most recent and compelling scientific findings on human consciousness and transformation. Living Deeply transcends any one approach by focusing on common elements of transformation across a variety of traditions, while affriming and supporting the diversity of approaches across religious, spiritual, scientific, academic, and cultural backgrounds. Each chapter in the book ends with "Experiences of Transformation'" exercises drawn from wisdom traditions or scientific investigations meant to enhance your direct experience of the material.
