[Buddha-l] Buddhism and Psychology research

[Bruce G. Seidner]

I fear I am in too much contact with the dodos and would love the names of people you find interesting.

I enjoy the offerings from MIT press but I tend to focus on ways to point out what is junk science rather than what is exciting and cutting edge. For instance William Uttal's (2001)The New Phrenology and the recent MacArthur Law and Neuroscience Project directed by Sandra Day OConnor and Michael Gazzaniga have likely jaded me too much. So I am guilty as charged. After a decent nights sleep I find myself much less argumentative and grandiose. I would love if you shared a few books or people you enjoy. The short list, at your convenience.
