Why Buddhism is True: The Science and Philosophy of Meditation and Enlightenment Free Audiobook Download by Robert Wright

In this audiobook, you'll discover that Buddhism is not a religion. It's a set of principles and practices that help you understand yourself and the world around you. Buddhism can get down to the bone marrow of your life and transform it in radical, deep, and permanent ways.

Buddhism is a new way of looking at the cosmos and human existence, one that provides a framework for understanding the world we live in. Buddhism teaches that the world is not fundamentally chaotic, but rather in some sense perfect. This understanding undergirds the meditative techniques that are used to achieve enlightenment.

In this book, author Robert Wright presents Buddhism from a modern perspective. He examines the historical roots of the religion and how it continues to sustain itself in recent times. Wright also provides an extensive explanation of meditation and its various benefits for the reader.

The book, which deals with various topics such as meditation, compassion, and the mind-body problem; is brought to life with a lighthearted sense of humor through the narration.

"People who meditate have better memories and have more positive emotions," said Wright, author of "The Moral Animal: Why We Are the Way We Are: The New Science of Evolutionary Psychology." "That might explain why even the most devout Christians don't meditate."

This book is unique, because it takes the reader on a journey through science and philosophy. For example, it not only explores the science of meditation from a scientific viewpoint, but also delves into the philosophical implications of what it means to be enlightened. The book also explains why Buddhism is true in terms of its overarching view about human life and existence.
