The Heart of Buddhism: Practical Wisdom for an Agitated World

Buddhism is concerned primarily with improving the quality of everyday life. It requires no adherence to obscure beliefs, and offers a penetrating diagnosis of the human condition as well as a powerful and proven set of techniques for overcoming the rigours of today’s world, both at home and at work.

Guy Claxton explains why Buddhism is so appropriate to our personal, social and global situation and goes on to describe how we can help ourselves individually, with a teacher, or in a group, through understanding, meditation, discipline and communication.
