One may conquer millions in battle, but he who conquers himself, only one, is the greatest of conquerors. -- Walpola Rahula, What the Buddha Taught Our brains are capable of conscious thought, but there is one part of the brain, the subconscious, that comes pre-installed and runs automatically. Granted, automation benefits us in terms of lower energy consumption, but it also constrains our self-development and restricts us to familiar and habitual ways of thinking. The downside is that it means we live our lives mostly on auto-pilot, and that our happiness is largely contingent on things beyond our control. To take back control of our lives from our automated brains, we must first understand some basic psychology. This book will discuss the nature and the working of the mind, and will introduce psychological theory and Buddhist teachings to that discussion. Once the reader understands the fundamental workings of the mind and brain, we will move on to the study of consciousness, thought, and emotion with the end goal of achieving and maintaining mental strength to control yourself in pursuit of happiness and personal growth.
