Description: Cognitive science joins with Asian contemplative traditions and philosophy to bring revolutionary meaning to the human experience.

Review Quotes: In a game-changing book that is both an intellectual tour de force and the courageous statement of a life's ideal, Thompson brilliantly demonstrates how Indian philosophical thought can join forces with the neurosciences to create a new science of the conscious mind. A must-read for anyone who believes that the future of philosophy is crosscultural.--Jonardon Ganeri, University of Sussex and the School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London
