"Conquest of Mind" is the fourth book in the "Essential Easwaran Library", a series that defines Easwaran's legacy and represents the heart of his teachings for the serious spiritual reader, based on the theme of timeless wisdom for daily living. Getting caught in unwanted thoughts and emotions can feel like an inevitable part of life. But Eknath Easwaran, a world-famous spiritual teacher who taught meditation for nearly 40 years, shows a way to break free. Just as a fitness routine can result in a strong, supple body, spiritual disciplines can shape a secure personality and a resilient, loving mind. Best of all, these opportunities to grow stronger spiritually arise not only during meditation but throughout the day. Whether working with difficult colleagues, going out to eat, or responding to a child's needs, readers learn how to try out different, wiser choices. With humour and empathy, Easwaran places timeless teachings from the Buddha and other mystics into contemporary scenes - watching a juggler on the street, taking a tennis lesson, going to the theatre. Training the mind is life's biggest adventure, and "Conquest of Mind" shows how this practice brings deepening relationships, increasing vitality, and a greater sense of purpose.
