Publisher's Summary

Meditation offers, in addition to its many other benefits, a method for achieving previously inconceivable levels of concentration. Author B. Alan Wallace has nearly 30 years' practice in attention-enhancing meditation, including a retreat he performed under the guidance of the Dalai Lama. An active participant in the much-publicized dialogues between Buddhists and scientists, Alan is uniquely qualified to speak intelligently to both camps, and The Attention Revolution is the definitive presentation of his knowledge.

Beginning by pointing out the ill effects that follow from our inability to focus, Wallace moves on to explore a systematic path of meditation to deepen our capacity for deep concentration. The result is an exciting, rewarding "expedition of the mind", tracing everything from the confusion at the bottom of the trail to the extraordinary clarity and power that come with making it to the top. Along the way, the author also provides interludes and complementary practices for cultivating love, compassion, and clarity in our waking and dreaming lives.

Attention is the key that makes personal change possible, and the good news is that it can be trained. This book shows how.

Excellent narration

I am new to moving my meditation practice beyond simple breathing and basic mindfulness, this text provided lots of valuable teaching about next steps and a good look at how far dedicated practice can bring a devotee, as well as what is involved to do so. Highly recommend.

Toss your nationalist egos in the backseat and grow some gonads to accept the responsibilities for thef astrocatices perpetrated or supported by your government. I also invite you to read Chalmers Johnson.
