Edith Stein, born into a jewish family on Yom Kippur in 1891, won renown as a philosophy scholar in pre-World War II Germany. She worked within a distinguished circle which included Edmund Husserl, Adolph Reinach, Max Scheler and Martin Heidegger. In 1922 she startled her friends and associates by becoming a roman catholic and, shortly thereafter, entering the carmelite order to live in a cloister as a professed sister. In 1942 she was taken from her convent by the Nazis and was murdered at Auschwitz. The selections span a period of nearly 25 years in her life : the youthful atheist thinks about her life and the alarming events of her time ; the mature, professionally active woman struggles with themes of self-discovery and the spiritual shaping of the human being ; the christian philosopher struggles with the meaning of existence ; finally, the great contemplative gives advice for introspection and serenity.

Balancing practical content and scientific theory, the book discusses long-term effects of six meditation practices: mindfulness, compassion, visualization-based meditation techniques, dream yoga, insight-based meditation and abiding in the existential ground of experience. Each chapter provides advice on how to embed these techniques into everyday activities, together with considerations about underlying changes in the mind and brain based on latest research evidence. This book is essential reading for professionals applying meditation-based techniques in their work and researchers in the emerging field of contemplative science. The book will also be of value to practitioners of meditation seeking to further their practice and understand associated changes in the mind and brain.
