Summary
Has science confirmed what the Buddha already knew?
In this groundbreaking audiobook, neuropsychology professor Chris Niebauer explains how after decades of research on the brain, Western science may have inadvertently confirmed a fundamental tenet of Buddhism: anatta, or the doctrine of "no self".
Niebauer shows how findings in neuropsychology suggest that our sense of self is actually an illusion created by the left side of the brain and that it exists in the same way a mirage in the middle of the desert exists: as a thought rather than a thing. This incredible thesis has significant and wide-ranging implications in psychology, philosophy, religion, and personal growth.
Not content to merely detail how this radical new - yet ancient - perspective could change our view of the world and what it means to be human, Niebauer also offers a range of intriguing exercises at the end of each chapter that will allow you to experience this truth for yourself.
Listen to this audiobook, and you will never view "self-help" the same way again!

Beautifully concise and thought provoking
I really like this style of narration and it kept me engaged throughout.
The ideas are fascinating and wonderfully represented and kept concise.
My only wish is that it was a bit more elaborate on the science side and not so simplified but maybe I should stop being so left brain…

Great insight into working of mind
The author has drawn from the latest research in Neuroscience and created a very compelling story of master ( right brain) and its emissary (left brain). He compares it with Buddhism and mainly its concept of Anata.
He should have avoided non scientific and controversial stuff about parapsychology.
Apart from that rest is very enjoyable.

A wonderful and enlightening book
This book elucidates basic insights of Buddhism through the lens of modern neuroscience. It is excellent for someone who though close to the core yet likes to understand relevant aspects of mind and experience without mystical trappings.
More than anyone else, it is Eckhart Tolle who through his books and his talks took me into the heart of Buddhism; without the label “buddhist”, he embodies and communicates its essence. Many fine books help deepen and stabilise comprehension, but the present one stands out as an invaluable complement that gratifies the scientific enquirer in me. I recommend it without reserve.

Wonderful trip down the rabbit hole.
Concise, but wonderfully delivered. Simple, but not easy. A book to return to again and again.

Two thirds of a great book
Really enjoyed this. The first two thirds of the book are a concise and useful summary of the left/right brain function and relationship, essentially a summary of The Master and His Emissary. The last part descends into an unfounded speculative theory attempting to answer the hard problem of consciousness.
