 Description: 

Waking Up is a handbook to meditation as a reasonable practise informed by neuroscience and psychology for the millions of Americans seeking spirituality without religion.

Sam Harris's Waking Up is for the twenty percent of Americans who do not practise religion but suspect that significant truths can be found in the experiences of Jesus, the Buddha, Lao Tzu, Rumi, and the other saints and sages throughout history. Throughout this book, Harris argues that there is more to reality than science and secular culture normally acknowledge, and that our attention to the present moment has a significant impact on the quality of our lives.

Waking Up is equal parts memoir and examination of the scientific basis for spirituality. No other book successfully integrates contemplative wisdom and modern science, and no person other than Sam Harris—a scientist, philosopher, and well-known skeptic—could write it.
