A Contemplative Study of the Mind, Emotions, and Body

Understanding how the mind works can provide insight into the meaning of various feelings and emotions. Rather than merely grasping empathy on an intellectual level, we can experience how it functions and emerges. By observing the mind, we can uncover how social assumptions and prejudices later filter these reactions. The book explores the interplay between mental processes, bodily reactions, and emotions. Contemplating the foundations of suffering or empathy can enrich our understanding of the emotional dimensions of how we perceive the world. Additionally, many psycho-social phenomena can be comprehended more deeply through critical-contemplative inquiry from a first-person perspective.
