Morphopsychology: The mirror face of personality: Discovering oneself and others

Used book in good condition

What do a half-naked hermit meditating cross-legged in a Far Eastern forest have in common with a cardiologist concentrating on his breathing before performing open-heart surgery?

In just a few decades, secular meditation has revealed the extent of its benefits in all spheres of our modern society (reduction of stress and related conditions, pain, cellular aging, etc.). It is the subject of numerous studies in neuroscience, medicine and psychology which have confirmed its virtues and observed its effects on the brain.

At the same time, the dialogue between meditation and modern physics * relativity, quantum physics and chaos theory * proves to be unexpectedly fruitful in overturning our common prejudices, broadening our vision and opening us to the fascinating strangeness of the universe and of consciousness.

This book, with a preface by Ilios Kotsou and Pierre Gohar, explores in detail the convergences between meditation and the various avenues of modern science in a clear and educational manner. It gives us a glimpse of all that meditation can bring us, individually and collectively, for the peace and well-being of all.
