As the world around us ruptures in widespread frustration, anxiety and desperation, along comes a unique perspective that examines the seething discontent from the most fundamental level: The human mind. Whereas an ordinary analysis considers one piece at a time, this analysis follows an integrative source/manifestation path. What is it about us all that is causing this sudden eruption of political and economic unrest? Why do we find it so hard to live a life of moderation, harmony and justice but instead choose lives of alienation and conflict? Here you'll read about finding worth within and thus over turning the rush to oblivion. The author examines these issues from the platform of the ancient wisdom of Zen and points to a solution, which is practical, transformative yet at the same time revolutionary.
