Waking Up

A Guide to Spirituality Without Religion
Book • 2014
In this book, Sam Harris argues that there is more to understanding reality than science and secular culture generally allow.

He explores the scientific underpinnings of spirituality, suggesting that how we pay attention to the present moment largely determines the quality of our lives.

The book is part memoir and part exploration, discussing the illusion of the self, the benefits of meditation, and the importance of understanding consciousness through both scientific and philosophical lenses.
