![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() This book is the culmination of a personal journey that began with Wright’s landmark book on evolutionary psychology, The Moral Animal, and deepened as he immersed himself in meditative practice and conversed with some of the world’s most skilled meditators. ![]() He also shows why this transformation works, drawing on the latest in neuroscience and psychology, and armed with an acute understanding of human evolution. In this “sublime” ( The New Yorker), pathbreaking book, Robert Wright shows how taking this promise seriously can change your life-how it can loosen the grip of anxiety, regret, and hatred, and how it can deepen your appreciation of beauty and of other people. At the heart of Buddhist meditative practice is a radical promise: We can learn to see the world, including ourselves, more clearly and so gain a deep and morally valid happiness. From one of America’s most brilliant writers, a New York Times bestselling journey through psychology, philosophy, and lots of meditation to show how Buddhism holds the key to moral clarity and enduring happiness.Īt the heart of Buddhism is a simple claim: The reason we suffer-and the reason we make other people suffer-is that we don’t see the world clearly. ![]() ![]() ![]() Dory's antics include stabbing her doctor with a lollipop stick as revenge for a shot. ![]() There are sweet lessons along the way about being part of a loving family. (The opening page defines "FANTASMAGORY" as "a dream-like state where real life and imagination are blurred together.") Hanlon shows much understated empathy for the characters and what makes kids tick, from Dory's overactive imagination and nonstop energy to the long suffering of her sibs who just want to be left in peace. When her siblings ignore her, she fills the house with imaginary (mostly cute) monsters. The first installment of a new chapter-book series, it features an intrepid 6-year-old who's about to go into first grade and doesn't let being the baby of the family slow her down. Parents need to know that Dory Fantasmagory is an entertaining story drawn from a lot of real-life experience by author/illustrator Abby Hanlon, a former first-grade teacher. ![]() |
