A short summary of Waking Up:
Why religious people are happy and how you can be happy too.
My favorite Sam Harris quote from the book:
"Our minds are all we have. They are all we have ever had. And they are all we can offer others."
Questions to ponder while reading:
Are you spiritual or superstitious?
Can religion and philosophy be separate?
My review of Waking Up:
A good comparison of the commonalities in religious practices.
Reinforces that spirituality is a disciple, not a feeling.
I don't agree that religion can be separate from spiritual practice. We need the community.
