內容簡介
內容簡介 一般說到腦袋空空，可不是什麼正面的形容，說到沒有內在、沒有想法更是讓人恐懼害怕，但其實腦袋空空卻可以讓人變得快樂！以得道高僧們為例子，腦袋裡面沒有慾望、煩惱在運轉，反而過得一派悠閒輕鬆。不過要獲得快樂，到山上修行並不是唯一的選擇，透過冥想、專注、音樂，甚至是性愛的過程中都可以保持腦袋淨空，而且其實大腦是很喜歡放空的，如果懂得找到適當的方法來利用這個特性，戒掉想太多的毛病，生活就會變得輕鬆，這也變成是現代忙亂生活中最必要的生存之道。Few things scare us more than inner emptiness. The presumed emptiness of coma or dementia scares us so much that we even sign living wills to avoid these states. Yet, as Zen masters have long known, inner emptiness can also be productive and useful. We can reach this state through meditation, concentration, music, or even during sex. In fact, our brain loves emptiness―it makes us happy. Leading brain researcher Niels Birbaumer investigates the pleasure in emptiness and how we can take advantage of it. He explains how to overcome the evolutionary attentiveness of your brain and take a break from thinking ― a skill that’s more important than ever in an increasingly frantic world.
