Miriam Boleyn-Fitzgerald is the author of Pictures of the Mind: What the New Neuroscience Tells Us About Who We Are, which connects new brain imaging research to the Buddhist concept of no-self. She co-leads a Vipassana sitting group with her husband in Appleton, Wisconsin, where she is working on a collection of stories about her less-than-perfect attempts to learn the dharma from her two strictest (and sweetest) mindfulness teachers, her sons.
