THE TEN WORLDS
The New Psychology of Happiness
Happiness is something we all want yet most of us fail to achieve. Drs. Lickerman and El DiFrawi explain that the reason genuine, long-lasting happiness is so difficult to attain is that we're profoundly confused on how to go about it. Borrowed from Nichiren Buddhism, the co-authors identify ten foundational life-conditions, aka the Ten Worlds, and help elucidate a path by which anyone can forge a state of happiness that resists the downward pull of adversity. The Ten Worlds:1. Hell 2. Hunger 3. Animality 4. Anger 5. Tranquility 6. Rapture 7. Learning 8. Realization 9. Compassion (Bodhisattva) 10. Enlightenment (Buddhahood)

PRAISE FOR ALEX LICKERMAN'S THE UNDEFEATED MIND:
Alex Lickerman mines life's greatest challenges with an artist's eye, a scientist's rigor, and a Buddhist's wise hand. The result is a book that I could not stop reading. Dr. Lickerman's unique gifts as a writer, doctor, and scientific thinker make for an epiphany-studded quest to tame his own mind and to enter and commune with the minds of others. The result is a book like no other: profound, compassionate, and inspiring.Kaja Perina, editor-in-chief of Psychology Today
Buddhism and Western medicine would seem an incongruous mixture, but in the hands of Alex Lickerman they meld seamlessly into a recipe for overcoming life's hardshipsindeed, for turning them into advantages. An accomplished physician, Lickerman has no truck for the supernatural, but recognizes that the tenets of Nichiren Buddhism have been honed over centuries to help alleviate life's inevitable sufferings. The Undefeated Mind is a deeply engaging story of how Lickerman has fused modern medicine with ancient wisdom to heal his patients both physically and psychologicallylessons that apply to all of us.Jerry Coyne, author of Why Evolution is True
Eastern religious practices such as chanting are often brushed aside as mysticism' by Western science. In this highly original book based on extensive case studies, Lickerman effectively bridges these two great traditions, providing novel insights along the way regarding how we can all triumph over the psychological impact of adversity and live joyfully, even in this vale of tears.'V. S. Ramachandran, author of the New York Times bestseller The Tell-Tale Brain
