Equanimity: Finding Strength, Serenity, and Contentment, where Neuropsychology meets Ancient Wisdom

John Elliott-White

3.86/5 (6 ratings)

Read Now Download Now

Many self-help books address goals of self-improvement, boosting self-image, or getting more of what you want. But in Equanimity, John Elliott-White warns that the pursuit of such aims can back-fire badly, and that robust mental health lies in a very different direction.

Integrating recent neuroscience and psychology insights with ancient wisdom, he suggests that the evolution of human minds stalled tens of thousands of years ago and that they are no longer suited to the modern world. He proposes that the way our brains are wired is almost guaranteed to cause mental suffering; and yet, we can train it to significantly reduce that suffering - thus finding strength, serenity, and contentment.

Although much of this ancient wisdom has often been associated with spirituality, this is not a book about saving your soul.

It is about saving your sanity.
