    About this ebook

    Why Buddhism is True: The Science and Philosophy of Enlightenment by Robert Wright | Book Summary | Abbey Beathan

    (Disclaimer: This is NOT the original book.)

    Our minds are hardwired to make us unhappy, but how can we fight it? Wright found the answer in Buddhism and he wants to share his findings with you.

    Buddhism claims that unhappiness is born of not seeing the world clearly. Because it is in our nature to be unhappy, by meditating we are able to gain the true vision of the world which would ultimately makes us happy. Robert Wright takes you on an intricate journey to comprehend an embracing philosophy capable of turning your life around. Strive to be happy, fight against your nature.

    (Note: This summary is wholly written and published by Abbey Beathan. It is not affiliated with the original author in any way)

    "Ultimately, happiness comes down to choosing between the discomfort of becoming aware of your mental afflictions and the discomfort of being ruled by them." – Robert Wright

    Robert Wright knocks it out of the park creating a book that uses psychology, philosophy and neuroscience to defense the claims of buddhism and provide proof of their arguments. It definitely teaches you a lot of just about everything, but most importantly, it helps you to live a happy life.

    Why Buddhism is True will teach you the terrible truth of our nature but also gives you a way to conquer it.

    P.S. Why Buddhism is True is an outstanding book made to see the world and yourself in a completely different way.

    P.P.S. It was Albert Einstein who famously said that once you stop learning, you start dying. It was Bill Gates who said that he would want the ability to read faster if he could only have one superpower in this world. Abbey Beathan's mission is to bring across amazing golden nuggets in amazing books through our summaries. Our vision is to make reading non-fiction fun, dynamic and captivating.

      My favorite book! It's the perfect book for the cultural moment we're in.
    • 5/5
      I enjoy almost all of Thich Nhat Hanh's books and this one is a keeper. I know some of his material can be repetitious, but this volume is a relaxing read. Many words of wisdom and gentle guidance.
