Waking Up: A Guide to Spirituality Without Religion By Sam Harris

Sam Harris explores meditation and consciousness without requiring religious belief. Waking Up combines personal experience with discussion of neuroscience, psychology and contemplative traditions, asking how attention shapes the quality of everyday life.

This is a secular inquiry into spiritual experience rather than a devotional manual or an introduction to a particular faith. Readers interested in the relationship between meditation, skepticism and the mind will find Harris’s distinctive perspective here.
