SCIENCE OF ENLIGHTENMENT How Meditation Works

This audiobook, narrated by Edoardo Ballerini, makes achieving happiness no matter what's going on in one's life sound easily attainable. The work offers a profound cross-cultural dissection of enlightened states of being. Through examples of mindfulness and impermanence, listeners are asked to dive deeply into the nuances of the feeling body and thinking mind. Perhaps most accessible is the audiobook's meticulous examination of the power of concentration. It is concentration, not relaxation, that allows meditation to leave the cushion and weave through everyday life. Ballerini's narration imparts the open-minded curiosity and academic tenacity that make these teachings so unique. His performance captures the author's astute ability to make the complex seem accessible by reducing both the human experience, and the dharma, to their most essential states.
