This is a guide for our times. It is an invitation to turn our attention from the challenges of our lives, work, and world to the space where our answers and solutions reside-our own mind. United Mind leads you on an inward journey guided by a simple concept: Most of our thoughts emerge in three basic states of mind that drive our doing, thinking, and being. This book is for any mind curious about itself. United Mind reflects the stories and experiences of readers, audiences, and students who played with the concept of the three states to transform their own minds and lives.
