A Life's Work: Learning to Overrule My Mindless Brain, Paperback

This is the story of my lifelong effort to figure out why it was so hard for me to be happy, and the surprising result when I finally did. It tells how, having exhausted the traditional paths of philosophy, psychology, religion and external material success, I began to pay attention to the ongoing drama in my inner life. When I did that, I realized that most of my thoughts, and much of my external behavior, were not what I wanted. That, in turn, drove me to learn about the origin and nature of my brain, leading me to conclude that my brain, for all its indispensability, is a mindless computer that doesn't care about me except at the most physical, existential level. Having recognized my brain for what it is, I describe a practice I have developed to manage the thing, which has led me to being happier than I have ever been.
