具体描述
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).

读后感
有段时间挺认同，“做人最重要的就是开心”，当然，能让自己开心的还包括了关爱别人等等：出发点虽自私，效果却可能正面。 后来知道了，这是功利主义。而康德说，尊崇功利主义的人是不自由的；事情的衡量标准，除了为你带来的功用”utility“，还有人心中的“道德律”。只是…....
评分【看到105页想法】 （1）作者很啰嗦，像是在给小朋友讲道理，翻来覆去。难道是因为佛教在美国甚至英语国家普及度不够才会用这样初级的表达方式？ （2）关于佛学、心理学及进化论的内容，差不多都是老生常谈。关于冥想的部分对我来说是新知识。但是通过冥想抑制疼痛，听起来怎么...

评分the writing quality and the depth of understanding about the science part of this author are pretty so so, which kind-of ruin the topic. Anyway, this book conveys a different (with a previous book) view how brain works: takes-in info, producing feelings (w...

事后诸葛的强行解释，虽然不乏新意。但是方法论是错误的
评分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
评分是有一点点啰嗦，但经常就以自问自答的方式address了我的疑问，非常贴心。是我最能接受的对待冥想的视角了。and revelational to me
评分这本书去除了超自然现象，只留下哲学和冥想修行的方法论，只把佛陀当成一个觉悟了的哲学家，用现代科学的知识，尝试解释一些佛学的概念和观点。
评分一点小进步：发生口角的时候能在某个时候闭嘴了，让对方打完输出。
