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!

I was engaged all the way through. It put mindfulness concepts I already knew about into a new perspective re the brain and different parts of ourselves. This was very elucidating and thought provoking (and non-thought provoking?). I'm inspired to look further into some of this as well as just sit with it all.

fantastic, loved this

Excellent ! Very much aligned to teaching of enlightened Buddha . All latest discoveries be Neuroscience or AI or COVID virus all are mentioned by Buddha 2500 years ago.

I love way the author has written his teaching of impermanence, suffering and non self with evidence and based on his research outcome . If someone understand and practice these basic we can create happy individuals, families and nations
