Summary of Why Buddhism is True

Why Buddhism is True by Robert Wright is an exploration of how traditional Buddhist teachings can help us lead a healthier, more meaningful life in the 21st century. The book examines the common ground between Buddhist ideas and scientific evidence about the mind, as Wright seeks to apply Buddhist principles to modern life. He argues that the core of Buddhist philosophy can help us overcome our suffering through mindfulness and meditation, and that this practice can lead to greater peace and fulfillment.
