About this listen

Has science confirmed what the Buddha already knew?

In this groundbreaking audiobook, neuropsychology professor Chris Niebauer explains how after decades of research on the brain, Western science may have inadvertently confirmed a fundamental tenet of Buddhism: anatta, or the doctrine of "no self".

Niebauer shows how findings in neuropsychology suggest that our sense of self is actually an illusion created by the left side of the brain and that it exists in the same way a mirage in the middle of the desert exists: as a thought rather than a thing. This incredible thesis has significant and wide-ranging implications in psychology, philosophy, religion, and personal growth.

Not content to merely detail how this radical new - yet ancient - perspective could change our view of the world and what it means to be human, Niebauer also offers a range of intriguing exercises at the end of each chapter that will allow you to experience this truth for yourself.

Listen to this audiobook, and you will never view "self-help" the same way again!

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

I really like this style of narration and it kept me engaged throughout.
The ideas are fascinating and wonderfully represented and kept concise.
My only wish is that it was a bit more elaborate on the science side and not so simplified but maybe I should stop being so left brain…

Beautifully concise and thought provoking

Simplistic and thought provoking, I gave this book a 5 star review, or did I?

The clarity of explanation

I found this book to be interesting, informative and dare I say, enlightening. I will listen to this again, probably several times.

A really interesting book

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
The author has drawn from the latest research in Neuroscience and created a very compelling story of master ( right brain) and its emissary (left brain). He compares it with Buddhism and mainly its concept of Anata.
He should have avoided non scientific and controversial stuff about parapsychology.
Apart from that rest is very enjoyable.

Great insight into working of mind

I don't meditate but this is the 3rd book I've listened to regarding mindfulness and I have to admit I'm interested in trying mediation, the book is well written and narrated with some very interest points and beliefs.

For the most part, I enjoyed this book by Chris. I would argue though that this book is not your typical Neuro book in that it focuses more on the links between Neuro discoveries and Buddhist teachings than say Neurotransmitter and behavioural patterns.

With that said, there are some extremely good points on self reflection and experience that IMO we should all take the time to reflect on.

Less Neuro than Hoped

Provides a really good understanding about how to approach the self from a scientific perspective.

Excellent book

This book elucidates basic insights of Buddhism through the lens of modern neuroscience. It is excellent for someone who though close to the core yet likes to understand relevant aspects of mind and experience without mystical trappings.

More than anyone else, it is Eckhart Tolle who through his books and his talks took me into the heart of Buddhism; without the label “buddhist”, he embodies and communicates its essence. Many fine books help deepen and stabilise comprehension, but the present one stands out as an invaluable complement that gratifies the scientific enquirer in me. I recommend it without reserve.

A wonderful and enlightening book

Really good presentation of ideas and well read overall. Highly recommended for anyone going through change.
