Summary of Daniel Goleman & Richard J. Davidson's Altered Traits

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 There are two paths in meditation: the deep and the wide. The deep path is a pure form of meditation, which is found in ancient lineages of Theravada Buddhism or among Tibetan yogis. The wide path is more practical and accessible, and is found in multitudes who have a little bit of meditation in their day.

#2 At Level 2, these traditions have been removed from being part of a total lifestyle and adapted into forms more palatable for the West. At Level 3, the same meditation practices are distributed more widely.

#3 The joy we find in coauthoring a book is also due to our shared mission of shifting the conversation about meditation and its benefits. We aim to reinterpret what the actual benefits of meditation are and what the true aim of practice has always been.

#4 The most compelling impacts of meditation are not better health or sharper business performance, but rather a further reach toward our better nature. The deep path, which has always been the true goal of meditation, yields highly positive altered traits.
