Omschrijving

Offers a groundbreaking exploration of wakefulness through science, psychology, and mindfulness-based approaches

In From Mindfulness to Wakefulness: Science and Practices on the Journey to Enlightenment, Michael Chaskalson reframes one of humanity's oldest pursuits--awakening--as a natural state that can be explored, understood, and cultivated using the language of contemporary science and psychology. Drawing on decades of practice, teaching, and research, Chaskalson proposes that wakefulness is not supernatural or mystical, but rather an achievable condition marked by deepening mindfulness, compassion, wisdom, and joy.

Connecting modern neuroscience and psychology with contemplative traditions, Chaskalson guides readers step by step, showing how wakefulness grows through everyday practices--seeing reality more clearly, loosening attachment to ego, developing positive emotions, and embracing mortality. Each chapter weaves together evidence-based insights, meditations, and reflections, encouraging readers to test ideas through direct experience. Respectful of religious traditions yet grounded in empirical evidence, the author balances secular inquiry with an appreciation of wonder, awe, and the sacred.

A compelling roadmap for anyone seeking greater meaning, clarity, and fulfillment, From Mindfulness to Wakefulness:

Introduces the original concept of "wakefulness" as a measurable journey toward enlightenment
Integrates scientific research with contemplative traditions for an evidence-based approach
Provides guided meditations and contemplations for practical application
Explores compassion, mindfulness, and wisdom as core dimensions of wakefulness
Bridges secular and spiritual perspectives in a non-dogmatic framework
Draws on the author's 40+ years of practice and teaching experience

Written for all those seeking personal enrichment, From Mindfulness to Wakefulness: Science and Practices on the Journey to Enlightenment is ideal for undergraduate and graduate courses in psychology, religious studies, contemplative science, and leadership development, as well as mindfulness teachers, therapists, coaches, and organizational leaders seeking to foster well-being, resilience, and meaning in their fields.
