From the Eight Limbs website:
"Book 2: Why Buddhism is True
by Robert Wright
What if the way we experience reality is… kind of a trick? In Why Buddhism Is True, Robert Wright takes a skeptical, science-meets-Buddhism look at the mind’s favorite hobbies: wanting things, avoiding things, making up stories, and generally convincing us that our thoughts are facts.
We’ll explore what Buddhism has to say about seeing through those mental habits—and whether understanding how our minds work can actually help us see the world (and ourselves) a little more clearly. No incense required.
Join us October 14th at 7 PM to discuss Chapters 1-5! 🤓"
This is the second book for the club in a series of 12 books...
Again from the website:
"Do you like books? Do you like reading books and then talking to your friends about them? We have we got a treat for you!
Every Wednesday at 7 PM, join us for How to Human: An Eight Limbs Book Club.
Together we’ll explore what it means to be human. How should we live? What is the self? Why do we suffer? What does it mean to be free? What do we owe one another—and the world around us?
How to Human is our way of exploring those questions through yoga, Buddhism, philosophy, neuroscience, social justice, ecology, literature, and more. We'll read ancient texts alongside modern voices, put very different ideas into conversation, and see what they might have to teach us about the strange, messy, wonderful business of being alive."
