Beschreibung
Join neuroscientist, philosopher, and best-selling author Sam Harris as he explores important and controversial questions about the human mind, society, and current events.
Sam Harris is the author of five New York Times bestsellers. His books include The End of Faith, Letter to a Christian Nation, The Moral Landscape, Free Will, Lying, Waking Up, and Islam and the Future of Tolerance (with Maajid Nawaz). The End of Faith won the 2005 PEN Award for Nonfiction. His writing and public lectures cover a wide range of topics—neuroscience, moral philosophy, religion, meditation practice, human violence, rationality—but generally focus on how a growing understanding of ourselves and the world is changing our sense of how we should live.
Harris's work has been published in more than 20 languages and has been discussed in The New York Times, Time, Scientific American, Nature, Newsweek, Rolling Stone, and many other journals. He has written for The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times, The Economist, The Times (London), The Boston Globe, The Atlantic, The Annals of Neurology, and elsewhere.
Sam Harris received a degree in philosophy from Stanford University and a Ph.D. in neuroscience from UCLA.

A groundbreaking view on the basic questions that emerge throughout a life of research and discovery. Sometimes awesome, sometimes troubling, but always inspiringly interesting!

Echoing what others have said: Waking Up is a breath of fresh air amidst the stink of insincerity that pervades much of the airwaves these days. Thank you Sam for your bravery, your honesty and your intellect. I do hope that many more people come around to understanding why you say the things you say, rather than continuing to live in their bubbles.
We need more Sam Harrises!

I cannot describe how important, refreshing, and wonderful it is to have an American with a voice who is able to express and articulate the concerns of many people who are not usually heard. We get shut down and shamed everytime we engage in particular discussions. We need more champions like Sam, Ayaan, Dawkins, and Hitchens who will be able to give people at the 'centre' of the political spectrum a voice. Thanks Sam! We need you more than ever.
This podcast is oatmeal for your brain

If you like intelligent, differentiated thought, you'll love this podcast. Listening is a pure joy to the brain. The topics are oftentimes controversial, which is a good thing. You will almost certainly end each podcast with a feeling of seeing through an issue more clearly.

I'm always excited to see that there is a new episode of Waking Up because I know that it will be full of interesting conversations, thought experiments, and carefully articulated reasoning. It's like an antidote to the strident tone displayed by too many in our culture today. Sam also seems like a good guy to get a beer with.
Deep!
