If you have ever wondered about the nature of reality and the role the human mind plays in shaping it, Evolution of Mind is definitely a book you won't want to miss. Authors, philosophers and teachers have long endeavored to articulate the essence and process of mind in one accessible teaching or text. Few, however, have managed to compile a survey of the full range of the human experience of mind in as comprehensive and digestible a treatise as Dr. Vijai S. Shankar has in his book Evolution of Mind.

Structured in an easy to follow 10 chapter format, the book walks readers through all the questions one might have about where mind originated and how language, thought, perception, feelings and memory impact our experience of life. Dr. Shankar leads the way through the morass of these age-old conundrums by meticulously revealing the layers of optical and auditory illusion we heap on each waking moment of the "timeless and thoughtless `now', which is life." By reflecting back the futility of basing our reality on the false constructs of past, present or future, he helps us understand that to let go of these mental concepts is to be free.

Dr. Shankar unmasks our predilection for grasping at duality as the core obstacle to wisdom and enlightenment, and offers hope that through observation and courage we can stretch beyond perception into the light of what life truly is.
