La ciencia revela c�mo la meditaci�n transforma la mente, el cerebro y el cuerpo.
En los �ltimos veinte a�os, la meditaci�n y la atenci�n plena se han convertido en una especie de soluci�n para todo, tanto para bajar de peso como para mejorar las relaciones personales o para lograr mayor eficiencia. Pero, qu� hay de realidad en esto? De qu� manera se distorsionan datos para vender m�todos de entrenamiento mental? Qu� pueden ofrecernos verdaderamente las t�cnicas de meditaci�n? C�mo obtener el mayor beneficio para nuestra mente, nuestro cerebro y nuestro cuerpo?. En este libro se describen las investigaciones m�s avanzadas sobre el tema, que aplicadas a desarrollar una variedad m�s amplia de pr�cticas permitir�n lograr los mejores resultados. No obstante, para alcanzar ese alt�simo nivel de transformaci�n positiva no bastan peque�as dosis diarias de meditaci�n. Es necesaria una dedicaci�n prolongada, que incluye ingredientes fundamentales -como la gu�a experta de un maestro y una actitud de menor apego al "yo"- que las versiones de entrenamiento mental m�s difundidas pasan por alto. Con el objetivo de erradicar las falsas ideas y la neuromitolog�a, Daniel Goleman y Richard J. Davidson nos muestran que -m�s all� de los estados placenteros que los ejercicios mentales provocan- el aut�ntico resultado beneficioso de estas pr�cticas reside en que de ellas pueden surgir rasgos perdurables de la personalidad. Y nos invitan a imaginar qu� suceder�a si, transformando nuestra mente, mejoraran no solo nuestra salud y nuestro bienestar, sino tambi�n los de nuestra comunidad y los del mundo entero. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Two New York Times-bestselling authors unveil new research showing what meditation can really do for the brain. In the last twenty years, meditation and mindfulness have gone from being kind of cool to becoming an omnipresent Band-Aid for fixing everything from your weight to your relationship to your achievement level. Unveiling here the kind of cutting-edge research that has made them giants in their fields, Daniel Goleman and Richard J. Davidson show us the truth about what meditation can really do for us, as well as exactly how to get the most out of it. Sweeping away common misconceptions and neuromythology to open readers' eyes to the ways data has been distorted to sell mind-training methods, the authors demonstrate that beyond the pleasant states mental exercises can produce, the real payoffs are the lasting personality traits that can result. But short daily doses will not get us to the highest level of lasting positive change--even if we continue for years--without specific additions. More than sheer hours, we need smart practice, including crucial ingredients such as targeted feedback from a master teacher and a more spacious, less attached view of the self, all of which are missing in widespread versions of mind training. The authors also reveal the latest data from Davidson's own lab that point to a new methodology for developing a broader array of mind-training methods with larger implications for how we can derive the greatest benefits from the practice. Exciting, compelling, and grounded in new research, this is one of those rare books that has the power to change us at the deepest level.Daniel Goleman, doctor en Psicología graduado en Harvard, autor de La inteligencia emocional, Focus, Una fuerza para el bien y muchos otros exitosos libros, comenzó a interesarse en las prácticas de meditación mientras realizaba en India una investigación para su tesis doctoral. Durante años ha publicado en The New York Times artículos sobre el cerebro y la ciencia cognitiva, que lo han hecho merecedor de numerosas distinciones, como dos nominaciones al Premio Pulitzer y un reconocimiento a su carrera periodística por parte de la Asociación Americana de Psicología. Richard J. Davidson obtuvo en 1976 su doctorado en Psicología en Harvard y a partir de 1984 trabaja en la Universidad de Wisconsin, Madison. Allí ha fundado el Centro para las Mentes Sanas y dirige el Laboratorio Waisman. En 1992, un encuentro con el Dalai Lama lo motivó a utilizar las herramientas de la neurociencia para realizar investigaciones sobre el cerebro y la meditación. Ha publicado gran cantidad de artículos científicos y ha recibidos diversos premios
