Why Buddhism is True by Robert Wright: Goodreads Review

Robert Wright’s book is a “must read” for anyone interested in and/or practicing mindfulness meditation. This is not a “how to” book, but rather a brilliant analysis (unique, in my opinion) of how mindfulness meditation works to help us overcome useless rumination, destructive thoughts, impulses, and desires that are deeply rooted in our evolutionary biology. Moreover, Wright writes well; he’s serious without being academic, honest about his own practice/limitations, and, at times, very funny. Why Buddhism is True is a gem, or, should I say, “a jewel in the lotus.”
