Religion and Spirituality

From multiple New York Times best-selling author, neuroscientist, and “new atheist” Sam Harris, Waking Up is for the 30 percent of Americans who follow no religion, but who suspect that Jesus, Buddha, Lao Tzu, Rumi, and the other saints and sages of history could not have all been epileptics, schizophrenics, or frauds. Throughout the book, Harris argues that there are important truths to be found in the experiences of such contemplatives – and, therefore, that there is more to understanding reality than science and secular culture generally allow.

Description

Religion and Spirituality

Waking Up: A Guide to Spirituality Without Religion is a profound exploration by Sam Harris that seeks to separate spirituality from the confines of organized religion. Harris, known for his outspoken views on religion and science, approaches spirituality through the lens of neuroscience and philosophy. He delves into the nature of consciousness, the illusion of the self, and the benefits of meditation practices, drawing on both scientific studies and ancient wisdom traditions like Buddhism. Unlike traditional spiritual guides, this book offers a secular and skeptical perspective, encouraging readers to explore states of awareness and mindfulness without the need for supernatural beliefs. Harris also discusses his own experiences with psychedelics and meditation retreats, using them as examples of how spiritual insights can arise from altered states of consciousness. Ultimately, the book serves as a guide for those seeking meaning, peace, and enlightenment in a world increasingly skeptical of religion, proposing that spirituality can be fully embraced through reason, introspection, and empirical inquiry.
