A new view of meditation

After years of meditating, are you still saddled with many of the same pers onal conflicts and interpersonal inhibitions that plagued you before you be gan? Rubin explores the hidden flaws in the meditative method itself. He ex plores Buddhism's ambivalent relationship to emotional life, and the negati ve consequences of "letting go" of experience. Detaching from experience ma y result in renouncing vital aspects of ourselves, such as constructive pas sion. The author argues that real meditation is transformative not tranquil izing, fostering a dynamic way of living.
