Для миллионов людей, которые хотят духовности без религии, новая книга Сэма Харриса - это руководство по медитации как рациональной духовной практике, основанной на нейробиологии и психологии • На протяжении всей книги Сэм Харрис утверждает, что в опыте таких созерцателей, как Иисус, Будда и другие святые и мудрецы истории, можно найти важные истины - и, следовательно, в понимании реальности есть нечто большее, чем обычно допускают наука и светская культура • "Пробуждение. В поисках духовности без религии" - это отчасти мемуары искателя и отчасти исследование научных основ духовности.
