It can happen to literally anybody - a sudden feeling of being overwhelmed by joy, an unmistakable sense that life is fundamentally good, its purpose benign. But until recently such experiences have been derided by the scientific establishment, and people have felt ashamed to admit to them. Now, says Nona Coxhead, all that is changing, and this book is the first attempt to present a synthesis of all the recent research with many enthralling first-hand accounts of both spontaneous and induced experiences. Why is an experience so often induced by love or the beauties of nature also induced on occasion by the sight of a rubbish dump or in the middle of a battle? Does the bliss experience reveal the truth about the world or can it be explained away in terms of brain waves or biochemistry? And why do all accounts stress that the experience cannot be described in words? After looking at such fundamental questions, Nona Coxhead introduces leading authorities, who offer their own theories, based on the New Physics, recent biological discoveries, philosophy and many other disciplines. Many of their accounts are highly speculative, but together they show how bliss is now a central concern of some of the most stimulating thinkers of our time. At last bliss has been given the contemporary treatment it deserves, and everyone who has ever had a bliss experience or who is merely interested in the extraordinary variety of human behaviour will find this a fascinating study of a deeply compelling subject.
