Livre 1 sur 4: What Science Says About... The Inner Mind - Volume 6
Synopsis
Does quieting the mind actually dissolve the self — or just quiet a brain network?
Meditation has moved from monastery to mainstream, promising everything from stress relief to full-blown transcendence. But "meditation" isn't one thing — it's a family of wildly different techniques, and treating them as interchangeable has muddied the science for decades.
This book follows the real evidence: what randomized trials, brain imaging, and decades of contested research actually show about attention, anxiety, risk, and the elusive experience of a dissolving self.
Inside, you'll discover:
- Why the default mode network finding is real, replicated, and routinely oversold
- Which claims about disease prevention and personality change the evidence flatly contradicts
- The documented risks intensive retreats carry that popular wellness culture leaves out
Part of What Science Says About…, a series that takes fascinating human questions and follows the evidence wherever it leads.
Read the science. Decide for yourself.
