具體描述
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).

##這本書給瞭我很大的啓發，雖然西方人討論佛學我總覺得是在鬼扯，但是這本書剝離瞭宗教裏輪迴、轉世、功德這些超自然元素，從心理學和哲學角度來看待佛教對當代人類精神生活的啓迪，非常有趣。我決定認真寫一下書評和推薦理由。 長久以來我一直有一個睏惑：人總是在渴望快樂，比...
評分##從進化心理學角度看冥想、佛學很有趣。不過齣版商起這個書名未免有點過，作者本人並沒這麼狂妄。Robert Wright 和 Sam Harris 都成功地印證瞭靈修和科學可以兼容。這本書作為冥想、西方佛學入門書很閤適。特彆那些對冥想不屑一顧的人尤為閤適，比如我。

評分##好看好看！在Psychology的理論部分和上半年讀的Kurzban關於Modular Mind的書有很多重閤，讀起來毫不費力。Coursera上的Buddhism and Modern Psyhology一課也是本書很好的primer。
評分##人類情緒模式和永不滿足的快樂追求是為瞭基因傳播所做的編碼。整個世界是自然選擇（？）所設定的matrix。腦科學證明沒有自由意誌和自我存在。 佛學的真諦是超越自然選擇設定的個體本位局限性獲得全局視角的自由，色即是空是讓你更「客觀」地看待世界，不被自然選擇造就的本能反應所劫持。 可是人類世界尤其是現代社會，恰恰是由自由意誌的神話和自發生長的森嚴階層構成。佛學作為一種讓人獲得「好心態」和「彆緻視角」的哲學，與世俗邏輯正好相反。
