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).
用户评价
##人类情绪模式和永不满足的快乐追求是为了基因传播所做的编码。整个世界是自然选择（？）所设定的matrix。脑科学证明没有自由意志和自我存在。 佛学的真谛是超越自然选择设定的个体本位局限性获得全局视角的自由，色即是空是让你更「客观」地看待世界，不被自然选择造就的本能反应所劫持。 可是人类世界尤其是现代社会，恰恰是由自由意志的神话和自发生长的森严阶层构成。佛学作为一种让人获得「好心态」和「别致视角」的哲学，与世俗逻辑正好相反。
评分##说实话一本有点专业性的，英文读本对我而言有些太困难了，没法打分希望会有中文版
评分##佛学的意义在于：“把我们从自然选择给的局限视角中解放除了，从一个更高的水平观察和体验这个世界。”
评分##同样的实验结果，在我眼里只是一个有趣的心理学新发现，而在大神手里就成了重塑世界观的武器。
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##Non fiction都是一个套路

评分##事后诸葛的强行解释，虽然不乏新意。但是方法论是错误的
