Description
Has Why Buddhism Is True by Robert Wright been sitting on your reading list? Pick up the key ideas in the book with this quick summary. The modern human mind is an incredible thing. It lets us communicate with each other, create beautiful things, analyze, and plan, and these abilities exist to let us successfully move through this complicated world. These qualities allow us to do everything from finding a partner so that we can pass our genes down to the next generation, to being able to predict and avoid danger. But, if survival is actually the result of having a mind constantly looking out for trouble, shouldn’t there be a cost involved? Yes, you guessed it: We spend a lot of time being hyperaware, overthinking things, and worrying. So, what happens when we spend all our time living with a mind programmed to do nothing but assess, judge, and flee at the first sign of danger? This book summary offers an answer: try Buddhism. Buddhism’s many teachings not only serve as an inspiration for the worn down and stressed out, but they’re also supported by modern science. So, dive in and learn what Buddhism truly is, and what it might be able to do for you.
