About Author
Robert Wright is an American journalist, scholar, and author known for his explorations into evolutionary psychology and the intersection of science and religion. In his book "Why Buddhism Is True: The Science and Philosophy of Meditation and Enlightenment," Wright delves into the philosophical underpinnings of Buddhism and aligns them with contemporary scientific understanding, particularly from psychology and neuroscience. He argues that Buddhist practices, especially meditation, can lead to personal well-being and insight into the nature of reality, substantiating these claims with empirical evidence. Wright's work bridges the gap between ancient wisdom and modern science, providing a secular interpretation of Buddhist concepts.
