    About this ebook

    Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

    #1 The effects of mindfulness and mindlessness are so common that few of us appreciate their importance or make use of their power to change our lives. Mindlessness and its counterpart, mindfulness, are the subjects of this book.

    #2 We all allow ourselves to become mindless at times. Some concert pianists memorize their music away from the keyboard so as to avoid the predicament in which their fingers know the music but they do not.

    #3 Because rigidly following set rules and being mindful are by definition incompatible, this book will not offer prescriptions. Instead, it will explore the implications of these ideas in different fields.

      The effects of mindfulness and mindlessness are so common that few of us appreciate their importance or make use of their power to change our lives. Mindlessness and its counterpart, mindfulness, are the subjects of this book.

      #2

      We all allow ourselves to become mindless at times. Some concert pianists memorize their music away from the keyboard so as to avoid the predicament in which their fingers know the music but they do not.

      #3

      Because rigidly following set rules and being mindful are by definition incompatible, this book will not offer prescriptions. Instead, it will explore the implications of these ideas in different fields.

      Insights from Chapter 2

      #1

      The intellectual life of man consists almost entirely in his substitution of a conceptual order for the perceptual order in which his experience originally comes. This can be called entrapment by category.

      #2

      We create categories and make distinctions among them. We experience the world this way. Without categories, the world might seem to escape us. Tibetan Buddhists call this habit of mind The Lord of Speech.
