具體描述
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).

在Coursera的“佛教與現代心理學”上知道這個作者，結閤進化心理學討論佛法這個路子非常對胃。其實在接觸作者作品以前我就構想過提綫木偶的比喻，現在那個string和puppeteer的真麵目越發清晰瞭。
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
评分既饒有趣味，又腦洞新開，掌握瞭一些認知科學的最新前沿知識。賴特的文筆也頗具幽默感，讀起來蠻有意思。
评分從進化心理學角度看冥想、佛學很有趣。不過齣版商起這個書名未免有點過，作者本人並沒這麼狂妄。Robert Wright 和 Sam Harris 都成功地印證瞭靈修和科學可以兼容。這本書作為冥想、西方佛學入門書很閤適。特彆那些對冥想不屑一顧的人尤為閤適，比如我。
评分是有一點點囉嗦，但經常就以自問自答的方式address瞭我的疑問，非常貼心。是我最能接受的對待冥想的視角瞭。and revelational to me
