Getting caught in unwanted thoughts and emotions can feel like an inevitable part of life. But Eknath Easwaran,a world-famous spiritual teacher who taught meditation for nearly 40 years,shows a way to break free. Just as a fitness routine can result in a strong,supple body,spiritual disciplines can shape a secure personality and a resilient,loving mind. Best of all,these opportunities to grow stronger spiritually arise not only during meditation but throughout the day. Whether working with difficult colleagues,going out to eat,or responding to a child's needs,readers learn how to try out different,wiser choices. With humor and empathy,Easwaran places timeless teachings from the Buddha and other mystics into contemporary scenes - watching a juggler on the street,taking a tennis lesson,going to the theater. Training the mind is life's biggest adventure,and Conquest of Mind shows how this practice brings deepening relationships,increasing vitality,and a greater sense of purpose.
