Getting caught in unwanted thoughts and emotions can feel like an inevitable part of life.But Eknath Easwaran, a world-famous spiritual teacher who taught meditation for nearly 40 years, shows a way to break free.Just as a fitness routine can result in a strong, supple body, spiritual disciplines can shape a secure personality and a resilient, loving mind.Best of all, these opportunities to grow stronger spiritually arise not only during meditation but throughout the day.Whether working with difficult colleagues, going out to eat, or responding to a child's needs, readers learn how to try out different, wiser choices.With humor and empathy, Easwaran places timeless teachings from the Buddha and other mystics into contemporary scenes -- watching a juggler on the street, taking a tennis lesson, going to the theater.Training the mind is life's biggest adventure, and Conquest of Mind shows how this practice brings deepening relationships, increasing vitality, and a greater sense of purpose
