The Buddha Pill: Can Meditation Change You?
by Miguel Farias & Dr Catherine Wikholm

MILLIONS OF PEOPLE MEDITATE DAILY, BUT CAN MEDITATION REALLY MAKE US BETTER PEOPLE?

In this fully updated edition of The Buddha Pill, pioneering psychologists Dr Miguel Farias and Dr Catherine Wikholm put meditation and mindfulness under the microscope.

Offering a compelling examination of the most up-to-date research on meditation practices along with recent brain-imaging studies on the effects of mindfulness and yoga, Farias and Wikholm weave together a unique story about the science and the delusions of personal change.

'This is a rare and sorely needed book that cuts through the hype and hoopla of yoga, meditation and mindfulness techniques. Contrary to popular belief, the authors make a solid case that meditation is not universally beneficial to everyone.'
—Ronald E. Purser, PhD, editor of The Handbook of Mindfulness
