About this book
A groundbreaking exploration of how modern analytical thinking has distanced us from ancient wisdom and our evolutionary nature. Through the lens of neuroscience, Eastern philosophy, and Daoist tradition, this book argues that mindfulness meditation—not intellectual understanding—is the key to mental and physical health, authentic self-knowledge, and true understanding of reality. Blending scientific rigor with philosophical inquiry, the author demonstrates why our overreliance on logic and reason has created epidemic levels of depression and anxiety, and shows how practices like meditation, yoga, and Qi Gong can restore the balance our ancestors naturally possessed. A meditation on the paradox that words cannot fully describe what must be experienced.
