Sam Harris reminds us that awakening does not depend on religious
belief. With his usual probing clarity, Sam points out the rational
methodology for exploring the nature of consciousness.
*Joseph Goldstein, author of 'Mindfulness: A Practical Guide to
Awakening' and 'One Dharma'*
So entirely of this moment, so keenly in touch with the growing
number ... who are willing to say that they do not find the succor
they crave, or a truth that makes sense to them, in organized
religion.
*New York Times*
Sam Harris ranks as my favourite sceptic, bar none. In Waking Up he
gives us a clear-headed, no-holds-barred look at the spiritual
supermarket, calling out what amounts to junk food and showing us
where real nutrition can be found. Anyone who realizes the value of
a spiritual life will find much to savour here – and those who see
no value in it will find much to reflect on.
*Daniel Goleman, Author of 'Emotional Intelligence' and
'Focus'*
Harris shows how our egos are illusions [and] how abandoning this
illusion can wake us up to a richer life, more connected to
everything around us.
*Jerry Coyne, Professor of Biology at the University of
Chicago*
Waking Up is an extraordinary book ... It will shake up your most
fundamental beliefs about everyday experience, and it just might
change your life.
*Paul Bloom, Professor of Psychology and Cognitive Science at Yale
University*
