• What Buddhism got right about the human brain \u2014 The Ezra Klein Show \u2014 Overcast
  I\u2019m interested in mindfulness, and so have read a lot of books on the subject. This isn\u2019t like those. It\u2019s a not a how-to guide, or an argument for meditation\u2019s health benefits. It\u2019s a deep dive into theories of the mind, informed both by Wright\u2019s scientific background and his study and practice of Buddhism. It\u2019s about how our minds evolved to keep us alive, not to keep us happy or satisfied \u2014 and what can be done about it.
