Chapter 1 Understand the idea behind Why Buddhism is True"Why Buddhism is True: The Science and Philosophy of Meditation and Enlightenment" is a book written by Robert Wright. Published in 2017, it explores the teachings and practices of Buddhism and seeks to explain how they align with modern scientific understanding of the human mind. Wright, a journalist and evolutionary psychologist, presents an argument for the compatibility of Buddhism with scientific insights into human nature, particularly in regards to the concept of "self" and the nature of suffering. Drawing from his personal experiences with meditation, as well as scientific research findings, the book explores the potential benefits of Buddhist practices in leading a more mindful and fulfilled life. It offers readers a unique perspective on the intersection of ancient wisdom and contemporary science.Chapter 2 Is Why Buddhism is True Worth the Hype?Opinions on books can vary greatly depending on individual preferences and interests. However, "Why Buddhism is True" by Robert Wright is generally well-regarded and has received positive reviews from readers and critics alike. The book explores the compatibility between Buddhist teachings and modern scientific research, offering insights into mindfulness and meditation practices. If you are interested in Buddhism, philosophy, or the intersection of science and spirituality, you may find this book to be a valuable read.Chapter 3 Overview of Why Buddhism is True"Why Buddhism is True" by Robert Wright is a book that explores the compatibility between Buddhist teachings and modern scientific understanding of the mind. The author argues that Buddhism offers a unique perspective on human existence and provides a pathway to personal happiness and inner peace.The book begins by introducing the concept of evolutionary psychology and how our minds have been shaped by natural selection. Wright suggests that our brains are not designed for happiness, but rather for reproductive success. This leads to various cognitive biases and emotional disturbances that hinder our well-being.Wright then delves into the core teachings of Buddhism, particularly the concept of "dukkha" or suffering. He explains that according to Buddhism, suffering is not just physical pain but also the dissatisfaction and unsatisfactory nature of our experiences. The author argues that our evolutionary programming contributes to this suffering, as our desires and attachments constantly lead us to dissatisfaction.By examining Buddhist meditation techniques, Wright suggests that we can train our minds to see reality more clearly and reduce suffering. He explores the practice of mindfulness, which involves observing our thoughts and emotions without judgment. Through mindfulness, we can become aware of our cognitive biases and strive to transcend them.Wright also explores the concept of "no-self" in Buddhism, which challenges our belief in a separate and autonomous self. He argues that this selflessness perspective aligns with scientific understanding that our sense of self is not fixed, but rather a construct of our minds.In the final chapters of the book, the author examines how Buddhist insights can be applied to modern psychology, addiction, relationships, and the pursuit of happiness. He suggests that by integrating Buddhist principles into our lives, we can cultivate more empathy, compassion, and happiness.Overall, "Why Buddhism is True" presents a compelling argument for the compatibility between Buddhism and modern science. Through a scientific lens, Wright highlights the transformative potential

In today's episode of Category Visionaries, we speak with Curtis VanWalleghem, CEO of Hydrostor, an energy storage tech company that's raised $322 Million in funding, about why storage is an essential part of the stability needed to support a rapid green transformation, and how Hydrostor's innovative ‘air, rock and water batteries' fit in. Cheaper and more resilient than other energy storage solutions, Hydrostor have demonstrated the value of their technology at ever larger scales, and look set to establish a leading market position in a global movement to better energy. We also speak about how hard it can be to start your own business, how Curtis kept moving forward through tough times, the challenge of bringing a long-term vision to market during uncertain times, how we need to rethink our relationship with energy, and why, ultimately, Curtis sees hope in tomorrow's energy transformation. Topics Discussed: Curtis' road to CEO of Hydrostor, and the challenges of betting everything on starting your own business The innovative technology and the heart of Hydrostor's energy storage solution Why a long term vision can be a challenging prospect to bring to a marketplace focused on short term returns Why investing in truly game-changing technologies can be a real leap of faith to envision a different world The future of the global green energy transition, and why every solution helps The true scale of what it means to restructure our entire energy system in just a fraction of the time it took to build   Favorite book:  Why Buddhism is True: The Science and Philosophy of Meditation and Enlightenment

“Wouldn't you respond to someone that knows you like a friend better than someone who called like a robot that's just doing outreach?” asks Leena Joshi, Co-Founder and CEO of Closefactor, which applies machine learning, artificial intelligence and natural language processing to the go-to market process. They help go- to market teams find their exact right accounts and to generate pipeline more efficiently and at a larger scale. This creates higher closed one growth rates and results in less wasted time, as well as making for a more personalized approach. One of the most important things in getting the exact right accounts into your pipeline is getting very specific when building your ICP. Consider every factor, including the size of a company and the size of the team within it, where they are on their journey and the potential of what they might become. Even private companies have a wealth of information online.  Though she does warn about over-indexing on a general search. This is one of many mistakes people make that results in wasted time, wasted energy and a poor fit for all parties involved. Leena discusses other common mistakes market teams make and what to do instead.  Quotes: “Wouldn't you respond to someone that knows you like a friend better than someone called like a robot that's just doing outreach.” (6:44-6:52 | Leena) “You may have the best product in the world. If you can't bring it to market, to the right customers, if you can't find the right audience, you're going to have a tough, tough time.” (8:56-9:06 | Leena)  “And once you have your ideal customer profile, it's a matter of  increasingly creating the layers around that ICP. So that as you start to cross the chasm, you know who to go after.” (12:08-12:20 | Leena) “One mistake that I see very often is people tend to spray and pray. I can't emphasize enough how harmful the spray and pray motion is  because you are ultimately left with no control over who comes into your pipeline.” (17:05-17:22 | Leena) “When you're able to connect a customer's pain to a high priority initiative inside the organization, it's magic, it helps with moving your deal forward. So you're really looking for the high priority initiatives inside the organization that you can attach your deal to, your project to. And typically, companies will talk about these high priority initiatives all the time. They talk about it in their earnings call transcripts, they talk about it in their hiring.” (22:44-23:15 | Leena) Connect with Brendan Dell: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/brendandell/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/BrendanDell Instagram: @thebrendandellTikTok: @brendandell39 Buy a copy of Brendan's Book, The 12 Immutable Laws of High-Impact Messaging: https://www.indiebound.org/book/9780578210926    Connect with Leena:LinkedIn: @closefactorTwitter:@closefactorleena@closefactor.com Check out Leena's recommended books: The Qualified Sales Leader: Proven Lessons from a Five-Time CRO by John MacMahon and Dev Ittycheria https://www.indiebound.org/book/9780578895062   Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind by Yuval Noah Harari and Derek Perkins  https://www.indiebound.org/book/9780062316110   Why Buddhism is True: The Science and Philosophy of Meditation and Enlightenment by Robert Wright https://www.indiebound.org/book/9781439195468   Please don't forget to rate, comment, and subscribe to Billion Dollar Tech on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you listen to podcasts!

Seit Jahrtausenden machen sich Menschen Gedanken darüber, was glücklich macht. Denkschulen wie die Stoa oder der Epikureismus und Religionen wie der Buddhismus: Sie alle gaben Ratschläge, wie ein glückliches Leben gelingen kann. Und manche dieser "Glücksregeln" – etwa ein bisschen weniger materialistisch sein und ein inniges Verhältnis zu Umwelt und Mitmenschen zu pflegen – klingen auch zu Beginn des 21. Jahrhunderts ziemlich aktuell. In dieser Folge stellen wir uns die Frage: Ist das "Streben nach Glück" so etwas wie eine menschliche Konstante? Was macht uns in der Gegenwart unglücklich? Und was hielten Menschen in den letzten 2500 Jahren für das Erfolgsrezept, um glücklich zu werden? Antworten darauf geben uns der Naturphilosoph **Harald Lesch** und die Glücks-Soziologin **Hilke Brockmann**. Viele Menschen sind in der Weihnachtszeit besonders unglücklich.

Today we will unlock the book Why Buddhism Is True: The Science and Philosophy of Meditation and Enlightenment. The author, equipped with a modern perspective and a confident understanding of both evolutionary history and psychology, addresses Buddhist philosophy and argues Buddhist philosophy's validity is rooted in science. In a scene from the original Matrix movie, a science fiction action film from 1999, the main character, Neo, finds out that he has been living in a dream world. The life he thought he had is really a detailed hallucination orchestrated by robot overlords. He encounters Morpheus, the leader of a rebellion against the overlords. Morpheus explains to Neo that the dream world is a prison for enslaved people known as the Matrix. He says that he cannot convey the totality of the Matrix. The only means to experience the full picture is “to see it for himself.” Morpheus offers Neo two pills. One is blue, and the other is red. Swallowing the blue pill will return Neo to his dream world, but taking the red pill will allow him to be free of his literal constraints and loosen his mental bonds. Neo takes the red pill, determining to search for the truth and embrace personal freedom.

You can create literally anything you want that you're passionate about. You have to take charge of your path, own your differences, and cultivate habits that will allow you to succeed in any environment. Stay Curious Even if you are not sure what you want to do, pay attention to what you love. If you have an expansive curiosity, don’t feel pressured. At the same time, you will need a clear vision to guide your career and give it forward momentum. Man up, or shall I say, Woman up! Once you’ve found your own theme, try to get exposure to every aspect of that industry or process. Even if your career path seems unclear, your talents and interest could one day bloom into something truly amazing. The mindset is you got to learn to figure stuff out"< The Future of Technology is both Promising and Scary Technology has made a tremendous improvement in our lives. It’s hard to function in today’s society without some knowledge of the Internet and computers in general. Technology has changed the ways of education and learning, by providing us the information and data we need in a matter of seconds. But, when it comes to technological advances, people seem to split into two groups: The first one being those who are excited about what the future might hold, and the second one — those who are gravely concerned about the possible dangers of new technologies. Several controversial topics has been talked about in the technological field. These are CRISPR (Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats), Nanotechnology, DARPA's military research and even BCI. These advancements bring up a number of ethical issues worth questioning: Ethical and regulatory challenges Robots as intelligent as humans Neurohacking And much more All in all, the way technology will affect our future depends solely on us. For now, let’s enjoy the present and work towards making a better future for the next generations to come. Get Comfortable Being Uncomfortable Doing stuff alone, being with yourself and learning who you are, would be helpful points in being comfortable with yourself. Put yourself in as many uncomfortable situations until you find your silver lining. Don’t be afraid to be selfish. It might just make you a better person. Show Notes The Knowledge Society TKS was started by two brothers, Navid and Nadeem Nathoo, who wanted to create what they wish they had growing upm which is to develop the next-generation of activators that will solve the world's most important problems If we can train Olympic level athletes from a young age, why can't we train Olympic level CEOs and innovators?< Schooling Shifra was actually part of the an Ivy league for 2 years and transitioned to an online school and TKS full-time. It's all about getting unconventional success by taking an unconventional path< The way the system works just isn't optimized for that (unconventional success). But how do you actually begin to optimize for that< Unicorn People Shifra explains Unicorn people in a similar concept of a unicorn company (a privately held startup company valued at over $1 billion), this is a person who impacts over 1 billion people. And most curiculums in convetional schools does not teach how an individual can impact a billion people. To stay on top, you have to do things the majority of people don’t do. People considered as such are Bill Gates, Elon Musk, Nikola Tesla, and Albert Einstein, to name a few. Empathy on the Scientific Field In terms of Ethics, scientific ethics calls for honesty and integrity in all stages of scientific practice. From reporting results regardless to properly attributing collaborators. This system of ethics guides the practice of science, from data collection to publication and beyond. _The core principle we focus on is just empathy and being able to optimalize for how you train yourself to be more empathetic _< The BCI Developer As a Brain Computer Interface developer, Shifra was exposed with the topic before entering TKS. By reading papers about Neuralink and what Elon Musk was up to, she became fascinated by it, It's such a big paradigm shift from our perception of humanity. Human Intelligence remains very stagnant and to me the technology was super fascinating< A Guide to BCI A brain-computer interface (BCI) is a computer-based system that acquires brain signals, analyzes them, and translates them into commands that are relayed to an output device to carry out a desired action. Brain computer interfaces can be classified in three into three main groups: Invasive, partially Invasive and Non-Invasive _I've only been exposed to non-invasive BCI because partially invasive and fully invasive BCI A) they are super expensive and B) there's a lot of regulations surrounding them. And also we just don't know how they work _< Discomfort Challenge Think of the mind as a muscle that naturally tightens up over time unless it is consciously worked upon. Your personal growth significanlty depends on new challenges and activities. Tackle the fear that has kept you from living your best life. Your mind has a way of rising to the occasion. Challenge it, and it will reward you. Challenge your mind — even making it a little uncomfortable by pushing yourself to learn tasks that may not come naturally. Most things seems impossible until they are done. Give yourself permission to think and act beyong the usual. In TKS, we do a lot of consulting challenges, just to build your understanding of the world< So you know how to navigate (challenges in the real world) them later on< BOOKS Nexus (The Nexus Trilogy Book 1) (https://www.amazon.co.uk/Nexus-Trilogy-Book-1-ebook/dp/B00TOZI7FM/ref=sr_1_1?crid=32OIN6EXVUL7X&keywords=nexus+trilogy&qid=1580117350&s=digital-text&sprefix=nexus+%2Cdigital-text%2C396&sr=1-1) Why Buddhism is True: The Science and Philosophy of Meditation and Enlightenment (https://www.amazon.co.uk/Why-Buddhism-True-Philosophy-Enlightenment-ebook/dp/B01M5IJLOU/ref=sr_1_1?crid=UGYN3VVHI5ZP&keywords=why+buddhism+is+true&qid=1580094835&s=digital-text&sprefix=why+bu%2Caudible%2C338&sr=1-1) Nudge: Improving Decisions About Health, Wealth and Happiness (https://www.amazon.co.uk/Nudge-Improving-Decisions-Health-Happiness-ebook/dp/B009KERBQI/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=nudge&qid=1580094986&s=digital-text&sr=1-1) Subscribe!

Robert Wright, author of "Why Buddhism is True: The Science and Philosophy of Meditation and Enlightenment," at the University of Louisville Kentucky Author Forum on Nov. 27, 2017; interviewed by Jon Kabat-Zinn. (Photo credit: Barry Munger)

Currently Visiting Professor of Science and Religion at Union Theological Seminary in the City of New York, Robert Wright’s work in journalism, psychology and philosophy has been deeply influential. Robert is the author of many best-selling books including ‘The Moral Animal: Why We Are the Way We Are: The New Science of Evolutionary Psychology’, ‘Nonzero: The Logic of Human Destiny’, ‘The Evolution of God’, and most recently, ‘Why Buddhism is True: The Science and Philosophy of Meditation and Enlightenment’. Our focus for this episode is Robert Wright’s latest book, Why Buddhism is True. In a word, Wright defends the Buddhist view that ‘the reason we suffer is because we don’t see the world clearly’. The reason we don’t see the world clearly, says Buddhism, is because our perception of our own minds and ‘the outside world’ is impaired by illusions. Viewing Buddhism through the lens of evolutionary psychology, Wright argues that we have good reason to think that this Buddhist claim (that suffering is caused by illusion) is true, and that Buddhism also holds the answer to how we can alleviate ourselves from illusion and suffering. Part I. Why Buddhism is True. Part II. Further Analysis and Discussion.

Robert Wright discusses his book Why Buddhism is True: The Science and Philosophy of Meditation and Enlightenment.

All “true believers” believe their beliefs are true. This is particularly true of true religious believers: for Christians, Christianity is the true religion, for Jews, Judaism is the true religion, for for Muslims, Islam is the true religion. Few true believer, however, would make the claim that their religion is “scientifically true”; religion, after all, is a matter of faith, and faith and science are somewhat different things. But that’s the claim Robert Wright is making in his thought-provoking, well-reasoned, and thoroughly-researched book Why Buddhism is True: The Science and Philosophy of Meditation and Enlightenment (Simon and Schuster, 2017). Well, sort of. Wright makes clear that he’s talking about Buddhism as a spiritual practice, not a religious dogma. He purposefully leaves aside the supernatural aspects of Buddhist belief–gods, devils, miracles, unseen realms and such–and focuses on what Buddhist meditators believe and do to reach “enlightenment.” And what he proposes is that Buddhism as practiced by these Buddhists is well suited to ease the pain caused by evolved human psychology. Wright’s book is heavily informed by his reading of evolutionary psychology, and particularly the notion that natural selection “designed” (a metaphor, to be sure) the human mind to work in ways that are not always to our hedonic benefit. Natural selections, he says, “designed” our minds to make our bodies reproduce, not to make us “happy,” “content,” or “satisfied.” If making us unhappy gets us to reproduce more often, then unhappy it’s going to be. And often is. Wright–to my mind, convincingly–argues that a Buddhist worldview and practice allows us to see the evolved nature of our minds as they really are, to see through (if not control) the often harmful impulses produced by those minds, and to make us and those around us better people. Essentially he says ‘Given the particular way our minds evolved, Buddhism is ‘true’ in that it is a balm for human suffering.’ Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

"Progress on the meditation path tends to involve moral progress. You tend to become a better person as well as a happier person... I personally think that you should not be allowed to call yourself enlightened if you're a jerk," said Robert Wright, a best-selling author with extensive knowledge on philosophy and religion. Wright, whose new book out now is titled, "Why Buddhism is True: The Science and Philosophy of Meditation and Enlightenment," offers his thoughts (and skepticism) on what it means to achieve true enlightenment and whether mindfulness meditation could change the world.

In this podcast episode, I had the privilege of interviewing New York Times bestselling author Robert Wright about his newest book "Why Buddhism is True: The Science and Philosophy of Meditation and Enlightenment". Wright leads readers on a journey through psychology, philosophy, and a great many silent retreats to show how and why meditation can serve as the foundation for a spiritual life in a secular age. This podcast features the audio of the interview I had with Robert Wright.
