Why would anyone want to do that? To find a peaceful mind “and build lives that brim with purpose and meaning.” You can have a usual life – getting a job, getting married, and maybe having a family. But there is something deeper. Thus, the search for something deeper is explored in this book. We’re social creatures who get most of what we want in life—peace, love, and understanding—from the group we gather around us. Our brains adjust automatically to both harmony and disagreement. We’ve already talked about how we unconsciously try to please others. Well, we also want to agree with others. (c)
