From the Publisher:
The bestselling author of Emotional Intelligence offers a front-row seat at a groundbreaking meeting
between the Dalai Lama and some of the foremost scientists and philosophers in the world.
Imagine sitting with the Dalai Lama in his private meeting room with a small group of world-class
scientists and philosophers. The talk is lively and fascinating, as these leading minds grapple with
age-old questions of compelling contemporary urgency: Why do seemingly rational people commit
acts of cruelty and violence? What are the root causes of destructive behavior?
Can we learn to control the emotions that drive these impulses?
Organized by the Mind and Life Institute, this rich encounter of science and spirit, East and West,
brings together cutting-edge research in neuroscience, education, and psychology with the most
sophisticated Buddhist practices for transforming negative emotions.
Goleman, as scientific coordinator and narrator, also reveals the personalities behind the debates
as the participants develop ideas for further collaboration and research.

Buddhist philosophy tells us that all personal unhappiness and interpersonal conflict lie in the "three
poisons": craving, anger, and delusion. It also provides antidotes of astonishing psychological
sophistication - which are now being confirmed by modern neuroscience. With new high-tech
devices, scientists can peer inside the brain centers that calm the inner storms of rage and fear.
They also can demonstrate that awareness-training strategies such as meditation strengthen
emotional stability - and greatly enhance our positive moods. The distinguished panel members
report these recent findings and debate an exhilarating range of other topics: What role do
destructive emotions play in human evolution? Are they "hardwired" in our bodies? Are they
universal, or does culture determine how we feel? How can we nurture the compassion that is
also our birthright? We learn how practices that reduce negativity have also been shown to bolster
the immune system. Here, too, is an enlightened proposal for a school-based program of social and
emotional learning that can help our children increase self-awareness, manage their anger, and
become more empathetic. Throughout, these provocative ideas are brought to life by the play of
personalities, by the Dalai Lama's probing questions, and by his surprising sense of humor. Although
there are no easy answers, these dialogues, which are part of a series sponsored by the Mind and
Life Institute, chart an ultimately hopeful course. They are sure to spark discussion among educators,
religious and political leaders, parents - and all people who seek peace for themselves and the world.
