Publisher Description
For the millions of Americans who want spirituality without religion, Sam Harris’s latest New York Times bestseller is a guide to meditation as a rational practice informed by neuroscience and psychology.
From Sam Harris, neuroscientist and author of numerous New York Times bestselling books, Waking Up is for the twenty percent of Americans who follow no religion but who suspect that important truths can be found in the experiences of such figures as Jesus, the Buddha, Lao Tzu, Rumi, and the other saints and sages of history. Throughout this book, Harris argues that there is more to understanding reality than science and secular culture generally allow, and that how we pay attention to the present moment largely determines the quality of our lives.
Waking Up is part memoir and part exploration of the scientific underpinnings of spirituality. No other book marries contemplative wisdom and modern science in this way, and no author other than Sam Harris—a scientist, philosopher, and famous skeptic—could write it.

Love your work bro, pure genius and intellectual engagement.
Excellence
This book provided a pleasant and clear guide to greatness. Absolutely wonderful. I’m finding it easier to forgive myself when distracted and I’m recognizing that paying attention can be just as helpful within almost anyones experiences.

Sam, I love your podcast, I paid, and I still get cut off of Making Sense. Can you help?
