This book is narrated by Francisco Varela, an internationally recognized neuroscientist, and it is the account of a historic dialogue between leading Western scientists and the Dalai Lama of Tibet.

Revolving around three key moments of consciousness—sleep, dreams, and death—the conversations recorded here are both engrossing and highly readable. Whether the topic is lucid dreaming, near-death experiences, or the very structure of consciousness itself, the reader is continually surprised and delighted.

Remarkable convergences between the Western scientific tradition and the Buddhist contemplative sciences are revealed.

The conversations are engrossing and highly readable. Any reader interested in psychology, neuroscience, Buddhism, or the alternative worlds of dreams will surely enjoy Sleeping, Dreaming, and Dying.
