About the Book

- Provides a practical program, complete with enjoyable, even playful meditations, for realizing greater self-awareness, increased wisdom, and happiness

- Shows how recent discoveries in physics, evolutionary biology, and psychology express in scientific terms the same insights the Buddha discovered more than 2,500 years ago

- Reveals the origins of attachments, desires, emotions, and thoughts in our own bodies

As Wes "Scoop" Nisker reveals, the way to enlightenment lies within our very biology. Taking us on an evolutionary journey to find the origins of emotions, desires, and thoughts in our own bodies, he shows not only how cutting-edge science is proving the tenets of the Buddha but also how we can interpret the traditional practices of Buddhism through this scientific lens for more personal freedom and peace of mind.

Using the Four Foundations of Mindfulness, a traditional Buddhist meditation series, as a framework, Nisker offers a witty and insightful narrative along with practical meditations and exercises, to train the mind to overcome painful conditioning and gain greater self-awareness, increased wisdom, and happiness. He shows how recent discoveries in physics, evolutionary biology, and psychology express in scientific terms the same insights the Buddha discovered more than 2,500 years ago, such as the impermanence of the body, where thoughts come from, and how the body communicates within itself. Exploring the origins of attachment, desire, emotion, thought, and consciousness, as well as the essential role of biology in spiritual evolution, he demonstrates how we're not separate from nature or the evolving universe.

Presenting new ways to harness the power of mindfulness to transform our understanding of ourselves and the world, Nisker teaches us how to put our understanding of evolution in the service of spiritual awakening.
