The book Buddhism for Transformation Today is thematically divided into Buddhism, mind and science, and on culture and social transformation. It has a cross-cultural perspective. The last section is focused on Dalai Lama's ideas and contains an interview with him. The book crosses disciplinary boundaries and bridges ideas in subjects like philosophy, psychology, and neuroscience. Some of the key ideas explored are happiness and business management. The interface between the individual and society can be significant and is expected to aid personal transformation and desirable social change.
