Why Buddhism Is True: The Science and Philosophy of Meditation and Enlightenment

BasicBinding: Paperback

Author: Wright, Robert

Publisher: Simon & Schuster

Date Published: 05-2018

ISBN: 1439195463 | EAN: 9781439195468

BasicBinding: Paperback

Features: Bibliography, Index, Price on Product | Pages: 336

Annotation: At the heart of Buddhism is a simple claim: The reason we suffer--and the reason we make other people suffer--is that we don't see the world clearly. At the heart of Buddhist meditative practice is a radical promise: we can learn to see the world, including ourselves, more clearly, and so gain a deep and morally valid happiness. In this pathbreaking book, Robert Wright shows how taking this promise seriously can change your life -- how it can loosen the grip of anxiety, regret, and hatred, and how it can deepen your appreciation of beauty and of other people. He also shows why this transformation works, Drawing on the latest in neuroscience and psychology, and armed with an acute understanding of human evolution, Wright explains why the path toward truth and the path toward happiness are one and the same.

Reasons Not to Worry: How to Be Stoic in Chaotic Times

BasicBinding: Hardcover

Author: Delaney, Brigid

Publisher: Harper

Date Published: 10-2023

ISBN: 0063314827 | EAN: 9780063314825

BasicBinding: Hardcover

Features: Price on Product, Bibliography | Pages: 304

Annotation: "Like many people today, Brigid Delaney was searching for answers to timeless questions: How can we be good? Find inner peace? Properly grieve? Tame our insecurities, such as the fear of missing out? Determine what truly matters? Centuries ago, the Stoics pondered many of these same questions. And so, at an important inflection point in her own life, Brigid decided to let these ancient philosophers be her guide. Brigid is rash where the Stoics are logical; she runs on chaos, while the Stoics relinquish control of things beyond their reach. Over the course of a year, she dedicated herself to following the wisdom of Seneca, Epictetus, and Marcus Aurelius. She hoped to discover how best to live, how she could use the wisdom of these ancient thinkers to navigate life in the modern world. Here, Brigid shares what she learned, showing us how we, too, can draw on the Stoics to regain a sense of agency and tranquility and find meaning in our lives. From learning to relinquish control to cultivating daily awareness of our mortality to building community, Brigid's insights are very funny and very wise."--

Annotation: Charles Taylor delves into the poetry of the Romantics and their heirs, a foundation of his distinctive philosophy of language.
