Summary:
The book explores the parallels between Buddhist philosophy, particularly the concept of anatta or "no self," and contemporary neuropsychological research that challenges the notion of a fixed, unchanging self. It delves into cognitive science and neuroplasticity to discuss how the brain constructs the sense of self and how understanding this process can lead to personal transformation and well-being.
Key points:
1. Illusion of Self: The book discusses the Buddhist concept of "Anatta" or "no-self," suggesting our perception of a stable self is an illusion. This aligns with neuropsychology findings.
