Hey thanks I'll check that out. I'm reading Kabat-Zinn right now. He seems to present the Buddhist concepts and practices I've started to embrace in comfortably secular language, and I like that he doesn't expend much energy drawing attention to that fact. Another guy like that is Rick Hansen, who wrote
Buddha's Brain: The Practical Neuroscience of Happiness, Love and Wisdom.
