PositiveThe New York Times Book ReviewTo produce his demonstrations and to support the idea that Buddhism is 'true,' Wright relies on science, especially on evolutionary psychology, cognitive science and neuroscience. This is a sensible approach, and in relation to Buddhism it is almost mainstream ... Wright’s book is provocative, informative and, in many respects, deeply rewarding ... I found myself not just agreeing but applauding the author, on a number of passages. A case in point is his unflinching embrace of the notion of feeling, which he understands as the mental experiences of physiological states, states imbued with a valence ranging from positive and pleasant to negative and unpleasant ... Wright is not as persuasive when he attempts to establish the truth of Buddhism by considering the circumstances in which feelings arise.
