New York Times Bestseller From one of America's greatest minds, a
journey through psychology, philosophy, and lots of meditation to
show how Buddhism holds the key to moral clarity and enduring
happiness. Robert Wright famously explained in The Moral Animal how
evolution shaped the human brain. The mind is designed to often
delude us, he argued, about ourselves and about the world. And it
is designed to make happiness hard to sustain. But if we know our
minds are rigged for anxiety, depression, anger, and greed, what do
we do? Wright locates the answer in Buddhism, which figured out
thousands of years ago what scientists are only discovering now.
Buddhism holds that human suffering is a result of not seeing the
world clearly-and proposes that seeing the world more clearly,
through meditation, will make us better, happier people. In Why
Buddhism is True, Wright leads readers on a journey through
psychology, philosophy, and a great many silent retreats to show
how and why meditation can serve as the foundation for a spiritual
life in a secular age. At once excitingly ambitious and wittily
accessible, this is the first book to combine evolutionary
psychology with cutting-edge neuroscience to defend the radical
claims at the heart of Buddhist philosophy. With bracing honesty
and fierce wisdom, it will persuade you not just that Buddhism is
true-which is to say, a way out of our delusion-but that it can
ultimately save us from ourselves, as individuals and as a species.
