For the millions of Americans who want spirituality without religion, Waking Up is a guide to meditation as a rational practice informed by neuroscience and psychology.
Drawing on his background in neuroscience and philosophy, Harris argues that spirituality can be understood and cultivated through practices such as meditation and self-inquiry, without the need for religious beliefs or dogma. He delves into the science of meditation and the benefits it can bring to mental well-being and personal growth.
Throughout the book, Harris shares personal anecdotes and experiences, as well as insights from his exploration of various contemplative traditions, including Buddhism and Advaita Vedanta. He challenges readers to question their assumptions about the nature of reality and offers practical guidance for developing a deeper understanding of oneself and the world.
