Bringing together ancient Buddhist wisdom and recent breakthroughs in wide
variety of fields from neuroscience to child development, Daniel Goleman's
book offers fresh insights into how we can recognize and transform the
destructive emotions that pose grave dangers to our individual and collective
fate. Out of week long discussions between Dalai Lama and leading figures
from the worlds of neuroscience and psychology, Daniel Goleman weaves together
a compelling narrative account of what the destructive emotions are, where
they come from, how the child and then the adult brain is shaped, how destructive
emotions (craving, anger and delusion) can be transformed and how they
must be transformed if they are threaten humanity's collective safety and
its future.
