Reseña del editor

MindScience documents a seminal moment in the historic dialogue between modern science and Buddhism. The Harvard Mind Science Symposium, hosted by the university's Mind/Body Medical Institute, was groundbreaking, bringing together prominent authorities in the fields of psychiatry, psychology, neuroscience, and education with Buddhism's most noted representative, the Dalai Lama.

Participants included several well-known authors—Daniel Goleman (Emotional Intelligence), Herbert Benson (The Relaxation Response), and writer and research psychologist Howard Gardner among them—as well as esteemed faculty from Harvard Medical School and elsewhere. Together, they sparked a new generation's interest in the workings of perception, cognition, and the mind/body connection.
