Why Buddhism is True
Archival Summary & Scope
New York Times bestselling author Robert Wright's *Why Buddhism Is True* offers a compelling exploration of how Buddhist principles can lead to moral clarity and enduring happiness. Drawing on psychology, philosophy, neuroscience, and evolutionary theory, Wright argues that human suffering stems from a fundamental misperception of reality—a distortion that Buddhist meditative practice promises to correct. This "sublime" (The New Yorker) and "deeply rewarding" (The New York Times Book Review) work reveals how gaining clarity can loosen the grip of anxiety, regret, and hatred, while deepening appreciation for life and others. Combining personal experience with scientific insight, Wright provides a practical, secular path for spiritual growth in a modern, distracted age.Categorization Notes
