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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In this \"sublime\" (\u003ci\u003eThe New Yorker\u003c\/i\u003e), 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 \u003ci\u003ewhy \u003c\/i\u003ethis transformation works, drawing on the latest in neuroscience and psychology, and armed with an acute understanding of human evolution. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e This book is the culmination of a personal journey that began with Wright's landmark book on evolutionary psychology, \u003ci\u003eThe Moral Animal\u003c\/i\u003e, and deepened as he immersed himself in meditative practice and conversed with some of the world's most skilled meditators. The result is a story that is \"provocative, informative and...deeply rewarding\" (\u003ci\u003eThe New York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e), and as entertaining as it is illuminating.
