Description: Debugging the Mind by Siva M. Mangalam Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description You have control over your mind; realize it and be free. - Marcus AureliusGiven that no one can control our minds without our cooperation, how was it possible that others words and actions triggered persistent emotions like fear, anxiety, and stress in me? In other words, how was I cooperating despite the apparent pain?With physical pain, we could identify potential causes, e.g., pathogens, dysfunction, that induce physiological imbalance and pain in my body. Similarly, are there metaphysical bugs that induce mental imbalance and stress? If so, how do I debug my mind and lead a balanced, stress-free, fulfilling life?Debugging the Mind describes my journey in getting answers to these questions. I needed an answer that I can understand without necessarily having the sophistication of psychology, philosophy, or theology. This inquiry led to several insights that I want to share.I realized that while my feelings, thoughts, and actions are innately known to me, they are not necessarily in harmony. My mental wellbeing required that they remain in harmony, as any dissonance among them gives rise to my mental stress. The objective then is to identify and eliminate this source of discord. While the details of the problem as well as the solution are innately unique to an individual, a systematic approach that is valid for everyone is possible. Debugging the Mind describes a three-phase approach consisting of Prevention, Exploration, and Experimentation to realize the desired solution.The first phase is devoted to Prevention of further mental discord. It is to mental health what the practice of hygiene is to physical health. It is based on an amoral understanding and application of the well-known Hillel-Kongzi principle, "Do not do to others what you would not like others to do to you." It prevents unhealthy feelings and thoughts from taking root in the mind and spreading like weeds. The relevance of the precepts of Abrahamic and Eastern religions in realizing this goal is explained without invoking esoteric doctrines, mythical beings, and morals.The second phase focuses on self-diagnosis through Exploration of the body-mind-emotion coupling to recognize and eliminate existing discord. Patanjalis Yoga Sutra is shown to provide a systematic approach to realize this goal.The final phase describes Experimentation based on the practice of the teachings of the Buddha, Jesus, and Muhammad that paradoxically lead to mental harmony. Debugging the Mind provides an intuitive understanding of their teachings and how they lead to mental harmony. The pivotal roles played by Sujata, Mary, and Khadijah in their lives are highlighted.While examples from religion, psychology and philosophy are provided, Debugging the Mind does not require religious scholarship, scientific expertise, or philosophical erudition. An urge for liberation with child-like curiosity, sense of humor, and the commitment to experimentation are sufficient for sharing this understanding.
