About this title

Synopsis

Meditation in the age of facebook and twitter - Personal development through social meditation - from shamanism to transhumanism is a book about the evolution of meditation. The book explores the four ages of meditation from Shamanism to transhumanism. It explores the interplay of 'social brain wave meditation' and the implications for society. The book is based on the ethos of the Internet and the implications for networks and explores many themes such as spirituality in the future, mindfulness and personal development. The book takes a humanist view. It is based on ideas from ancient spiritual practices like Zen and Buddhism but is agnostic of any specific religious theme.
