Evolving Dharma may be the definitive direct towards the meditation revolution. Fearless, unorthodox, and irreverent scholar and activist Jay Michaelson shows how meditation and mindfulness have transferred from ashrams and self-help groupings to classrooms and private hospitals, and will be offering unusually straight talk about the “Big E”— enlightenment. Michaelson introduces us to maverick brainhackers, postmodern Buddhist monks, and cutting-edge neuroscientists and stocks his own stories of months-long silent retreats, effective mystical experiences, and several pitfalls along the way. Evolving Dharma is normally a must-read for the next-generation meditator, the spiritually cynical, as well as the wondering adventurer in every of us.
