The three Poisons of the Mind: A Buddhist Approach to Modern Challenges

By Jonas Persson

The author takes us into the depths of Buddhist psychology and shows how the ancient teachings on the three mind poisons-covetousness, hatred and ignorance-can be applied to our lives today. The book serves as a mirror in which we can reflect on our deepest desires and fears, and offers practical guidance on how to live a more harmonious life.
But the text is by no means just a diagnosis of the problem; it is also a prescription for overcoming it. The author presents various Buddhist practices such as meditation, mindfulness and ethical action as antidotes to mind poisons. Through case studies and personal anecdotes, he shows how these practices can be integrated into everyday life and how they help us break the toxic patterns that dominate our lives.
"The Three Mind Poisons" is not just a book for Buddhists or spirituality seekers, but a guidebook for anyone who longs for a more meaningful, peaceful and fulfilling life. It serves as a bridge between the ancient wisdom of the East and the pressing challenges of the modern Western world. With its easy-to-understand language and practical guidance, this book is a companion for anyone seeking inner balance in an increasingly chaotic world.
