Quand l'esprit dialogue avec le corps

by Daniel Goleman, Dalai Lama XIV

Can the mind heal the body? The Buddhist tradition says yes—and now many Western scientists are beginning to agree. Healing Emotions is the record of an extraordinary series of encounters between the Dalai Lama and prominent Western psychologists, physicians, and meditation teachers that sheds new light on the mind-body connection. Topics include: compassion as medicine; the nature of consciousness; self-esteem; and the meeting points of mind, body, and spirit.

This edition contains a new foreword by the editor.

Genres: Psychology, Buddhism, Nonfiction, Spirituality, Philosophy, Self Help, Personal Development

About the author

Author of Emotional Intelligence and psychologist Daniel Goleman has transformed the way the world educates children, relates to family and friends, and conducts business. The Wall Street Journal ranked him one of the 10 most influential business thinkers.

Goleman’s Emotional Intelligence was on The New York Times best sellers list for a year-and-a-half. Named one of the 25 "Most Influential Business Management Books" by TIME, it has been translated into 40 languages. The Harvard Business Review called emotional intelligence (EI) “a revolutionary, paradigm-shattering idea.”

Goleman’s new book, Focus: The Hidden Driver of Excellence, argues that attention — a fundamental mental ability for success — has come under siege. Leadership that gets results demands a triple focus: on our inner world so we can manage ourselves; on others, for our relationships; and on the outer forces that shape our organizations and society itself.

His more recent books include The Brain and Emotional Intelligence, and Leadership: The Power of Emotional Intelligence - Selected Writings.

Reviews

[Theodora (paper.bag.reader) · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book is an intellectually and spiritually delightful conversation on topics of ethics, biology, the essence of being human, health, the mind; at the cross-section between science, meditation and the Buddhist tradition. It is part of a series of books documenting the Mind and Life meetings between the Dalai Lama and western scientists. The dialogue goes deeper and deeper throughout the book, touching on ethical dilemmas and finally, death and universal compassion. Definitely a good one for newbies such as myself.

More on the collaboration between western scientists who study emotion and the Dalai Lama and his spiritual colleagues. Has the advantage of taking the "positive psychology" approach.

Świat pędzi jak szalony, a my z nim. Lecz nie ma ludzi niezniszczalnych. W końcu u każdego, nawet tego najsilniejszego, pojawia się zmęczenie, a wraz z nim - negatywne emocje. Często człowiek nie akceptuje sam siebie, brzydzi się swoimi słabościami, źle o sobie myśli... i to wpływa na jego życie, na jego codzienną walkę o przetrwanie.
Pod redakcją Daniela Golemana powstała niezwykle ciekawa książka, która pozwala czytelnikowi wiele rzeczy przemyśleć. "UZDRAWIAJĄCE EMOCJE rozmowy z Dalajlamą o uważności, emocjach i zdrowiu", to zbiór inspirujących lekcji życia, ale i zbiór niezwykłych rad, które należycie wysłuchane mogą odmienić nas od środka.
Nie jestem typem zakochanej w buddyzmie kobiety z Zachodu - staram się jednak słuchać mądrych ludzi, a mądrych ludzi nie jest znów tak wielu. Wszystko, co pomaga mi podnieść jakość życia, jest pożądane i cieszę się, że w moje ręce trafiła właśnie ta pozycja. Jest ona skierowana do wierzących i niewarzących, do praktycznych i rozmarzonych, do tych, co przeżyli już lwią część swego życia i tych, którzy stoją właśnie na rozdrożu i mają wybrać, gdzie pójść... by zajść.
UZDRAWIAJĄCE EMOCJE, to książka bardzo dobrze skomponowana. Czyta się ją z zainteresowaniem i swobodą, ponieważ mamy tu przecież rozmowy. Jest to sprytny zabieg, który pozwala skuteczniej dotrzeć do odbiorcy. Wiemy przecież, że o wiele lepiej przyswajamy informacje, które ktoś nam mówi, niż te, które bezosobowo zieją z kart mądrych tekstów.
Szczególną uwagę należy zwrócić na wartość, że tak się wyrażę "zdrowotną". Dostajemy tu z pozoru proste wskazówki, które jednak odpowiednio wprowadzone w życie mogą dać duże efekty. Poznajemy mądrości zbierane przez ludzkość od wieków, mądrości nieprzemijające i wracające jak bumerang... bo człowiek wcale nie uczy się na błędach... człowiek niestety nałogowo błędy powtarza.
Jestem bardzo zadowolona z tej książki i spokojnie mogę ją wam polecić. Z świeżą głową, otwartym umysłem, z chęcią do zmian na lepsze, z rozsądkiem - tak trzeba podejść do UZDRAWIAJĄCYCH EMOCJI.

emocje - kto ich nie zna? a kto je rozumie?

Poate mintea sa vindece corpul? Ce emotii sunt asociate cu accentuarea starii de bine? Cum functioneaza tehnica mindfulness in context medical? Exista un fundament biologic pentru etica? Cum ne poate ajuta moartea sa intelegem natura mintii? In vara anului 1991, zece oameni din mediul academic occidental, care se ocupa de o gama larga de discipline, s-au adunat in sala de intalniri a lui Dalai Lama din Dharamsala, in India, pentru a se confrunta cu aceste intrebari in cadrul celei de-a treia conferinte Mind and Life. Aceasta carte este o culegere de prezentari si dialoguri sustinute cu ocazia acelei intalniri. Experti in psihologie, fiziologie, medicina comportamentala si filozofie au prezentat cele mai importante descoperiri din domeniul lor si au discutat legaturile dintre acestea cu Dalai Lama si cu profesionistii meditatiei budiste. Scopul acestui schimb de idei a fost acela de a creste intelegerea reciproca si de a usura aparitia unei noi perspective asupra relatiilor dintre sanatate si experienta emotionala. Abia in ultimii douazeci de ani, medicii, biologii si psihologii occidentali au inceput sa inteleaga legaturile reciproce dintre starile emotionale si starea de bine mintala si fizica. Totusi, ganditorii budisti erau constienti de mai bine de doua mii de ani de capacitatea de vindecare a mintii.

This is one of the books that changed my perspective on trauma when I was 20 years old, alongside another book, Destructive Emotions. I truly appreciate the work of Daniel Goleman and am so grateful to see him and other brilliant minds sit at the same table with the 14th Dalai Lama, compiling such an amazing book on human emotions and how we can heal, speak good thoughts to ourselves, forgive, and live a healthy life close to our hearts, from our hearts. It helps us understand our emotions, how they mold us, and how we are capable of understanding every single emotion and where it comes from. A book for every reader.

[Stefano Besana · Rating 3 out of 5]

Un libro eccellente che - a dispetto del titolo - non tratta solo di emozioni e malattia ma sopratutto di consapevolezza, connessioni tra corpo e mente e ruolo delle emozioni positive sulla guarigione e sul benessere psicofisico. I contributi della saggezza orientale del Dalai Lama sono integrati da quelli di alcune delle più grandi menti occidentali in riflessioni su cervello, mente e spiritualità.
Tra gli altri: Varela, Thurman, Goleman e tantissimi altri.
Un libro che vale una lettura

O discuție foarte interesantă despre felul în care Occidentul și Orientul percep conștiința, care mi-a răspuns la multe întrebări.

Although I found some topics interesting, gave it 3 stars as some of the conversations were hard to follow

Những tư tưởng của Dalai Lama 14 luôn rất trí tuệ và khó có thể so sánh với những con người khác và điều đó thể hiện qua cuốn này. Sách nội dung ổn. Hay .

[Rubina · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book is a collection of conversations between the Dalai Lama and a group of Western physicians, psychologists and meditation teachers. The discussions on the mind-body connection, emotions in both religion and science, and the differing approaches of Eastern psychology and Western scientific make for a fascinating read. The group exchanges philosophy, ideas, ideals on topics such as compassion, mindfulness, selflessness, the nature of conciousness and meditation.
Definitely recommended if you are interested in spirituality and the relationship between health and emotional experience.

[Joelle Sweeney · Rating 5 out of 5]

Another of my favorite people: though not much comment from him- the Dali Lama is holding the council of many different scientists in this book and these contributers discuss their various areas of alternative support to healing individuals with terminal illnesses, as well as other issues- a large one being stress- which I was particularly interested in. It covers theories and techniques that are applicable in daily life and attainable. I think it is a good read.

Ich besitze die dt. Ausgabe, mit dem Titel "Gespräche mit dem Dalai Lama über Achtsamkeit, Emotionen und Gesundheit." - Die heilende Kraft der Gefühle -

Wie wirken sich Emotionen auf die Gesundheit aus?
300 Seiten großartige neue wissenschaftliche Erkenntnisse in einer verständlichen Sprache zwischen zwei Buchdeckel gedruckt!

[Camila Gil · Rating 1 out of 5]

Ya de por si no soy fan del formato conversacional en los libros. Pero sobre todo eso, no estoy de acuerdo con lo que este propone, me parece de suma importancia valores con los que están en contra los autores justificandolos con la religión.
