Why Buddhism is True by Robert Wright

Review by Reg Naulty

by Reg Naulty 15th March 2019

Robert Wright has taught psychology and religion at prestigious universities. His motivation here is to overcome, or at least erode, the psychology of tribalism – the tendency to define ourselves by our opposition to some other group. He writes that now we are on the verge of a global community, we should not let the natural distortions in our minds blow the whole thing apart.
