Informed by neuroscience and psychology, Sam Harris's latest book offers guidance on meditation as a logical spiritual practice for the millions of Americans seeking spirituality outside of religion.
Waking Up, written by neuroscientist, multiple New York Times bestselling author, and "new atheist" Sam Harris, is intended for the thirty percent of Americans who do not practice any religion but who believe that historical figures such as Buddha, Lao Tzu, Rumi, Jesus, and other saints and sages could not all have been schizophrenics, frauds, or epileptics. In the course of the book, Harris makes the case that these contemplatives' experiences include significant truths, and as a result, there is more to comprehending reality than what is often permitted by science and secular society.
Waking Up is a hybrid book that explores the scientific foundations of spirituality and writes from the perspective of a seeker. No other book combines meditative wisdom with contemporary science in this manner, and only renowned skeptic, scientist, and philosopher Sam Harris could write it.
