Why Buddhism Is True: The Science and Philosophy of Meditation and Enlightenment
Why I recommend it
Wright explores Buddhist ideas about the mind alongside modern psychology. He makes meditation approachable as a way to notice our own experience.
What stayed with me
A feeling can tell us something without telling us what to do. The story we attach to it may not be accurate.
Who it’s useful for
Readers curious about Buddhism from a secular perspective.
A tension or limitation
Parallels with science don’t prove a whole religious tradition. The title makes a bigger claim than that comparison can settle.
