具体描述
Why Buddhism is True: The Science and Philosophy of Meditation and Enlightenment is a 2017 book by journalist and evolutionary psychologist Robert Wright. As of August 2017, the book had peaked at The New York Times No. 4 bestseller in hardcover nonfiction.
In Why Buddhism is True, Wright advocates a secular, Westernized form of Buddhism focusing on the practice of mindfulness meditation and stripped of supernatural beliefs such as reincarnation. He further argues that more widespread practice of meditation could lead to a more reflective and empathetic population and reduce political tribalism. In line with his background, Wright draws heavily on evolutionary biology and evolutionary psychology to defend the correctness of Buddhism's diagnosis of the causes of human suffering. He argues the modern psychological idea of the modularity of mind resonates with the Buddhist teaching of no-self (anatman).

##所谓mindfulness里面，读过的最靠谱的书 也是到现在为止，和心理学相关的书最好的
评分##When we live without awareness, numb to small delights, we may more easily fall into addictive behavior, as we need increased levels of stimulating sensations, either pleasant or painful, in order to feel alive
评分##是有一点点啰嗦，但经常就以自问自答的方式address了我的疑问，非常贴心。是我最能接受的对待冥想的视角了。and revelational to me
评分##从进化心理学角度看冥想、佛学很有趣。不过出版商起这个书名未免有点过，作者本人并没这么狂妄。Robert Wright 和 Sam Harris 都成功地印证了灵修和科学可以兼容。这本书作为冥想、西方佛学入门书很合适。特别那些对冥想不屑一顾的人尤为合适，比如我。

评分##同样的实验结果，在我眼里只是一个有趣的心理学新发现，而在大神手里就成了重塑世界观的武器。

评分##一点小进步：发生口角的时候能在某个时候闭嘴了，让对方打完输出。
评分##这本书终于被引进了！对原版作品久闻大名，一直在等国内中文版的上市。这次终于买到了！指北——>《洞见：从科学到哲学，打开人类的认知真相》，Open your mind！
