"A job loss, a devastating illness, the death of a loved one…our ability to control what happens to us in life may be limited, but our ability to surmount the suffering life brings us is not. To find such strength, however, we need wisdom—wisdom that only the experience of adversity has the potential to impart. Combing core tenets of Nichiren Buddhism with the latest scientific research, The Undefeated Mind provides the tools we need to develop a mind that faces all circumstances—good and bad alike—with a sense of calm and that remains joyful no matter what happens. Through stories of patients who have used these principles to overcome suffering caused by unemployment, unwanted weight gain, addiction, rejection, chronic pain, retirement, illness, loss, and even death, Dr. Lickerman shows us how to make these principles function in our own lives, enabling us to develop the resilience we need to achieve indestructible happiness."
