Synopsis

Buddhist principles allow for the understanding and amelioration of self-manifested suffering. But these principles cannot help address the “ills” of what plagues us, if they are not accessible (both linguistically and with immediacy). Moreover, being relatable to both self-help individuals, as well as those who require more concrete evidence of the applicability in today’s age, is missing. What this book does is to provide, as noted in the introduction, “something accessible to a Western audience, for times when a 20-minute meditation isn’t available, or when a ‘reminder’ would be helpful.” This is a unique perspective, particularly in the context of a practitioner who is also a Neurologist, a doctor of the brain and mind. Continuing, “As a physician, part of the job description is the relief of suffering of the human condition…The combination of using the understanding of modern medicine with the perspective of Buddhist thought, at least I have found, has provided the relief of dukkha for many experiencing a variety of ills.”
