Attitudes need adjusting, just like a spinal column that's out of alignment. This book explains a fundamental type of Buddhist mental training called lojong, literally translated as attitudinal training. It is designed to shift our attitudes so that our minds become pure wellsprings of joy instead of murky pools of problems, anxieties and frustrations. By addressing practical and theoretical issues we face in the modern world, Wallace brings this centuries-old practice into the 21st century.
