人的大腦如何工作,在科學上還沒有完全搞清楚。這本書用淺顯易懂的語言闡述了人的思想情感等精神活動的基本運作方式,人的自我意識形成的基礎和過程,人的習慣養成和改變的基礎和過程等等,對我們理解自己和他人的思想,言行有相當重要的指導意義,不可不讀!

Book De????ion
This profound look at Buddhist psychology offers important insights into how Buddhism's ancient teachings apply to the modern world. Basing his work on the writings of the great fifth-century Buddhist master Vasubandhu and the teachings of the Avatamsaka Sutra, Thich Nhat Hanh focuses on the direct experience of recognizing the true nature of consciousness. Presenting the basic teachings of Buddhist applied psychology, he shows how the mind is like a field, where every kind of seed is planted — seeds of suffering, anger, happiness, and peace. The quality of life, he writes, depends on the quality of the seeds. By learning how to water seeds of joy and transform seeds of suffering, understanding, love, and compassion can flower.
