EN STI GENNEM INDSIGTENS LANDSKABER – A PATH THROUGH THE LANDSCAPES OF INSIGHT
By Niels Lyngsø
IN HIS NEW personally insightful and practical book, A Path Through the Landscapes of Insight, Niels Lyngsø talks about all the life-changing things that were set in motion six years ago. About daily life, the sensory apparatus, the emotional life, the activity of thought and the relationship with other people, which have all changed. About the many positive effects of a regular meditation practice, but also about the serious mental side effects that can occur if you – like Lyngsø himself – become overconfident.
BASED ON HIS own meditation routines and experiences, good and bad, Lyngsø tries to understand what is going on deep inside or far out in the landscapes of consciousness, and how it can all make sense for a rationally inclined Westerner like him.
“IF YOU IMMERSE yourself in a pragmatic Buddhist practice, you get an opportunity to live a life with more mental balance – even when the waves are high. It can completely change the way you are in the world – and the world you are in.”

REVIEWS
“5 stars! The book is the ultimate treasure chest if you want to get started with meditation. Niels Lyngsø’s personal, eclectic, and wildly branching mammoth book on meditation not only resembles the author’s magnum opus but also a magnum opus on its subject in Danish.”
Politiken
“A great work. Weighty in many ways.”
Kulturkappellet
“Politiken’s reviewer guides to summer reading: A path through the landscapes of insight! In many ways, this is a monster of a meditation book that you won’t finish right away. Meditation is not easy to put into a linguistic formula, but if the attempt has to be made anyway, it’s hard to think of a better man for the job than Niels Lyngsø, who has truly been bitten by a mad guru here. Whether you could use a little more serenity – and who couldn’t? – or you want to climb the very high esoteric tops, or you are curious about how meditation is experienced by the meditator when it is at its wildest, this is the book you want to own.”
