From Sam Harris, neuroscientist and author of numerous New York Times bestselling books, Waking Up is for the twenty percent 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.
We’ve all had that feeling: the memory of a beloved childhood book, a title mentioned in passing that you can’t get out of your head, or an out-of-print gem that seems to have vanished completely.
The search for a specific book can feel like a quest, and we want to be your trusted guide.
The Curiosity Cove is our special book-sourcing service, born from a passion for connecting readers with the exact stories they seek. If there’s a book your heart is set on but you can’t find it in our collection, don’t give up. Let us join the hunt
