Robert Wright is an American journalist who writes about science, history and religion, including The Evolution of God, Nonzero: The Logic of Human Destiny, The Moral Animal, Why Buddhism is True, and Three Scientists and Their Gods: Looking for Meaning in an Age of Information. He is the co-founder and editor-in-chief of Bloggingheads.tv.
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).

評分看過很多所謂的科學與佛學之間的牽扯文章,當時看瞭很熱鬧,迴頭想想,都是扯蛋的文章,其實佛學本來是相當簡單的,大部分都是關於如何實操的,對於宇宙啊、哲學啊,佛陀本人是不感興趣的,他的核心的理論都是為瞭一個目的:滅苦。玄而有玄的文章,實際上離真正的佛學遠之又遠...

所謂mindfulness裏麵,讀過的最靠譜的書 也是到現在為止,和心理學相關的書最好的

評分事後諸葛的強行解釋,雖然不乏新意。但是方法論是錯誤的
評分這本書去除瞭超自然現象,隻留下哲學和冥想修行的方法論,隻把佛陀當成一個覺悟瞭的哲學傢,用現代科學的知識,嘗試解釋一些佛學的概念和觀點。
