具體描述
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).
用戶評價
##好看好看！在Psychology的理論部分和上半年讀的Kurzban關於Modular Mind的書有很多重閤，讀起來毫不費力。Coursera上的Buddhism and Modern Psyhology一課也是本書很好的primer。
評分##在Coursera的“佛教與現代心理學”上知道這個作者，結閤進化心理學討論佛法這個路子非常對胃。其實在接觸作者作品以前我就構想過提綫木偶的比喻，現在那個string和puppeteer的真麵目越發清晰瞭。
評分##"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."
評分##從進化心理學角度看冥想、佛學很有趣。不過齣版商起這個書名未免有點過，作者本人並沒這麼狂妄。Robert Wright 和 Sam Harris 都成功地印證瞭靈修和科學可以兼容。這本書作為冥想、西方佛學入門書很閤適。特彆那些對冥想不屑一顧的人尤為閤適，比如我。
評分##看書名好像是佛教書籍，但其實是一本結閤瞭佛學冥想和進化心理學的哲學書籍，完全剔除瞭宗教元素。作者的邏輯讓人醍醐灌頂啊...
評分##所謂mindfulness裏麵，讀過的最靠譜的書 也是到現在為止，和心理學相關的書最好的
評分##佛學的意義在於：“把我們從自然選擇給的局限視角中解放除瞭，從一個更高的水平觀察和體驗這個世界。”
