Waking Up: A Guide to Spirituality Without Religion - Sam Harris

Nominee for Readers' Favorite Nonfiction (2014)

Condition: Very Good

245 Pages, Paperback.  23.5x15.5x2cm

From Sam Harris, neuroscientist and author of numerous New York Times bestselling books, Waking Up is for the twenty percent  who follow no religion but who suspect that important truths can be found in the experiences of such figures as Jesus, the Buddha, Lao Tzu, Rumi, and the other saints and sages of history.

Throughout this book, Harris argues that there is more to understanding reality than science and secular culture generally allow, and that how we pay attention to the present moment largely determines the quality of our lives.

Waking Up is part memoir and part exploration of the scientific underpinnings of spirituality. No other book marries contemplative wisdom and modern science in this way, and no author other than Sam Harrisa scientist, philosopher, and famous skepticcould write it.
