ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

In Waking Up: A Guide to Spirituality Without Religion, Sam Harris explores spirituality from a rational and secular perspective. The book delves into the nature of consciousness and the illusion of the self, drawing on insights from science, philosophy, and contemplative traditions. Harris examines various methods for altering states of consciousness, including meditation and psychedelics, and emphasizes the importance of direct experience. The text also critiques the limitations of traditional religious views while advocating for a personal and empirically based approach to spiritual understanding. This includes discussion of the mind, its division, and the possibility of self-transcendence, all without relying on religious faith.
