Â¿Por quÃ© personas aparentemente racionales e inteligentes cometen actos de crueldad y violencia? Â¿CuÃ¡les son las raÃces del comportamiento destructivo? Â¿CÃ³mo podemos controlar las emociones que gobiernan esos impulsos? Â¿Podemos aprender a vivir en paz con nosotros mismos y con los demÃ¡s? ImagÃnese que participa en una reuniÃ³n con el D... more »alai Lama y un pequeÃ±o grupo de cientÃficos y filÃ³sofos de talla mundial. Imagine poder escuchar las reflexiones de estas mentes privilegiadas acerca de temas antiquÃsimos que siguen siendo actuales. Este libro lo invita a ser testigo de esta animada y fascinante charla, narrada y comentada por Daniel Goleman. La filosofÃa budista nos enseÃ±a que la infelicidad personal y los conflictos interpersonales son consecuencia de los ""tres venenos"": la ansiedad, la ira y las falsas ilusiones. TambiÃ©n nos proporciona antÃdotos de asombrosa sofisticaciÃ³n psicolÃ³gica que ahora estÃ¡n siendo confirmados por la moderna neurociencia. Los cientÃficos pueden observar hoy los centros cerebrales que calman las tormentas interiores y demostrar que tÃ©cnicas como la meditaciÃ³n fortalecen la estabilidad emocional y potencian los estados de Ã¡nimo positivos. / Why seemingly rational and intelligent people commit acts of violence and cruelty? Which are the roots of destructive behavior? How can we control the emotions that rule those impulses? Can we learn how to live in peace with ourselves and with others? Imagine that you participate in a meeting with the Dalai Lama and a small group of scientifics and philosophers of world prestige. Imagine being able to listen to the reflections of these privileged minds about very old topics that are still present. This book invites you to witness this lively and fascinating chat, narrated and commented by Daniel Goleman. The Buddhist philosophy teaches us that personal misery and interpersonal conflicts are a consequence of the ""three poisons"": anxiety, anger and false illusions. It also provides us with antidotes of astonishing psychological sophistication that now are being confirmed by the modern neuroscience. Nowadays, scientists can observe the brain centers that calm the interior storms and demonstrate that techniques such as meditation strengthen the emotional stability and reinforce the positive states of spirit.
