Synopsis

"King reveals how fundamental truths for living an authentic, ful lling life are coded in the elegantly complex dance of chemical and energetic interactions within and between our cells. After more than twenty years running a research lab at Tufts University, neuroscientist Joan C. King realized that what she had been studying under a microscope all those years had signi cance beyond human physiology. Much more than just a temple of science, her lab, she discovered, was a temple of the human spirit as well. With more than thirty meditative and thought-provoking exercises, this book shows us how to interpret the truths that our bodies teach and how to apply them to our lives. King helps you to explore the landscape within, working to identify your values and articulate them for improving human relationships and fostering more harmonious communities, as demonstrated within the relationships and communities of our cells. Here is the genius of Joan's vision, in this, her foundational book--that

allows a person to see beyond the obvious, to sense connections that escape narrower

vision, and to express what they see in a way that ignites others and catalyzes change."
