Only a profound examination of human perception—a process by which worlds and selves are created and re-created ever moment—will provide the clarity and confidence we seek. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eShifting Worlds, Changing Minds \u003c\/i\u003e is an in-depth, non-technical analysis of the perceptual process, drawing on the latest data from cognitive science—the \"new science of mind.\" Added to these are insights gained from the Buddhist practice of mindfulness-awareness meditation.
