Summary
Details

Buddhism at the Speed of Life is a thoughtful and accessible collection of contemporary Buddhist teachings woven together with real-life stories from modern living. With warmth, light humor, and scientific insight, Dr. Jaffe invites readers to explore how ancient Buddhist wisdom can be practiced amid the pace and pressures of everyday life.

Drawing on both Buddhist philosophy and modern neuroscience, this book reveals why living according to Buddhist principles can feel challenging-and how those challenges are rooted in the way our brains are naturally wired. While the core teachings of Buddhism are elegantly simple, their practice requires retraining habitual patterns of thought and reaction. Buddhism at the Speed of Life offers practical guidance for reshaping those patterns, helping readers cultivate greater awareness, compassion, and inner peace.

Whether you are a longtime practitioner or simply curious about Buddhism, this book serves as a clear and compassionate guide to living a happier, more contemplative life through a Buddhist lens.

Dr. Jaffe is a practicing physician specializing in physical medicine, rehabilitation, and pain management on the island of O'ahu, Hawai'i. He lectures throughout the island on Buddhist philosophy and enjoys teaching both medical students and students of Buddhist thought, bridging science and spirituality with clarity and care.
