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!

I found this book to be interesting, informative and dare I say, enlightening. I will listen to this again, probably several times.

A really interesting book

The book, perhaps overly relies on a false dichotomy of right brain and left brain, however, that is to illustrate the overarching point that neuroscience is catching up to Buddhism. It is not too scientific, nor Buddhistic, it has a great balance, keeping the message simple and practical. The experiential experiments are great, it blends theory and practice, and very informative. Amazing work!!

Briliant book, concise, purposeful & worthwhile

Superb book really well written and narrated. What I particularly liked was that the book emphasises that the thinking mind isn’t in control - this has implications for counselling and psychotherapy in that body centred approaches are likely to be more effective. Some great quotes from Buddhism and other sources. So good I’m about to listen again!!

Listen to this!

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.

Two thirds of a great book
