Why Buddhism Is True by Robert Wright
The Science and Philosophy of Meditation and Enlightenment
This book explores the intersection of Buddhism and modern psychology, arguing that Buddhist practices and principles align with the latest scientific understanding of the human mind. It delves into how meditation and mindfulness can help individuals overcome the illusions created by natural selection, such as the relentless pursuit of pleasure and the avoidance of pain, which often lead to suffering. By examining the roots of human behavior and consciousness, the book suggests that Buddhist teachings offer a path to greater happiness and fulfillment by fostering a deeper understanding of reality and the self.
