"Sam Harris reminds us that awakening does not depend on religious
belief. With his usual probing clarity, Sam points out the rational
methodology for exploring the nature of consciousness." -- Joseph
Goldstein, author of 'Mindfulness: A Practical Guide to Awakening'
and 'One Dharma'
"So entirely of this moment, so keenly in touch with the growing
number ... who are willing to say that they do not find the succor
they crave, or a truth that makes sense to them, in organized
religion." -- Frank Bruni * New York Times *
"Sam Harris ranks as my favourite sceptic, bar none. In Waking Up
he gives us a clear-headed, no-holds-barred look at the spiritual
supermarket, calling out what amounts to junk food and showing us
where real nutrition can be found. Anyone who realizes the value of
a spiritual life will find much to savour here - and those who see
no value in it will find much to reflect on." * Daniel Goleman,
Author of 'Emotional Intelligence' and 'Focus' *
"Harris shows how our egos are illusions [and] how abandoning this
illusion can wake us up to a richer life, more connected to
everything around us." * Jerry Coyne, Professor of Biology at the
University of Chicago *
"Waking Up is an extraordinary book ... It will shake up your most
fundamental beliefs about everyday experience, and it just might
change your life." * Paul Bloom, Professor of Psychology and
Cognitive Science at Yale University *
