No Self, No Problem: How Neuropsychology is Catching Up to Buddhism by Chris Niebauer explores the intriguing parallels between modern neuropsychology and ancient Buddhist teachings. Niebauer examines how the concept of the “self” as an illusion is being supported by contemporary research in brain science. The book delves into how our brains construct the sense of self and the implications of this understanding for personal well-being. By blending scientific insights with Buddhist philosophy, Niebauer offers readers practical ways to reduce suffering and enhance mental health by recognizing and transcending the illusory nature of the self. This book is a compelling read for those interested in the intersections of science, spirituality, and personal growth.
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.
