我正在看的一本书,感觉非常好,所以推荐给大家。
人的大脑如何工作,在科学上还没有完全搞清楚。这本书用浅显易懂的语言阐述了人的思想情感等精神活动的基本运作方式,人的自我意识形成的基础和过程,人的习惯养成和改变的基础和过程等等,对我们理解自己和他人的思想,言行有相当重要的指导意义,不可不读!

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.
