Truth in the Age of Bushism - Second Edition
Author: Ralph Lopez
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781438213330
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 158
Book Description
(Second Edition - includes 7 new essays including "Lunch with Daniel Ellsberg.") Published in the race to impeach Dick Cheney and George W. Bush, this little reader is a way for those who do not spend a lot of time on the Internet, to find out what is being said on the Internet. Without impeachment, the administration's unconstitutional claims of Executive powers never intended by the Founders will stand, to be abused by future administrations of any party. Impeachment is truly a non-partisan issue. Is there time? Richard Nixon resigned a mere week-and-a-half after the House Judiciary Committee adopted just three articles of impeachment. As this book shows, the evidence is on the public record. Investigations could be minimal. Give this to friends and relatives who still prefer something to hold when they read. Cyberspace is overrated compared to a comfortable chair and a spot in the sun.

Why Buddhism is True
Author: Robert Wright
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1439195471
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 339
Book Description
From one of America’s most brilliant writers, a New York Times bestselling journey through psychology, philosophy, and lots of meditation to show how Buddhism holds the key to moral clarity and enduring happiness. At the heart of Buddhism is a simple claim: The reason we suffer—and the reason we make other people suffer—is that we don’t see the world clearly. At the heart of Buddhist meditative practice is a radical promise: We can learn to see the world, including ourselves, more clearly and so gain a deep and morally valid happiness. In this “sublime” (The New Yorker), pathbreaking book, Robert Wright shows how taking this promise seriously can change your life—how it can loosen the grip of anxiety, regret, and hatred, and how it can deepen your appreciation of beauty and of other people. He also shows why this transformation works, drawing on the latest in neuroscience and psychology, and armed with an acute understanding of human evolution. This book is the culmination of a personal journey that began with Wright’s landmark book on evolutionary psychology, The Moral Animal, and deepened as he immersed himself in meditative practice and conversed with some of the world’s most skilled meditators. The result is a story that is “provocative, informative and...deeply rewarding” (The New York Times Book Review), and as entertaining as it is illuminating. Written with the wit, clarity, and grace for which Wright is famous, Why Buddhism Is True lays the foundation for a spiritual life in a secular age and shows how, in a time of technological distraction and social division, we can save ourselves from ourselves, both as individuals and as a species.
