MAKING SENSE - SAM HARRIS GEBUNDEN

A New York Times New and Noteworthy Book From the bestselling author of Waking Up and The End
of Faith  an adaptation of his wildly popular  often controversial podcast ?Sam Harris is the
most intellectually courageous man I know  unafraid to speak truths out in the open where
others keep those very same thoughts buried  fearful of the modish thought police. With his
literate intelligence and fluency with words  he brings out the best in his guests  including
those with whom he disagrees.? -- Richard Dawkins  author of The Selfish Gene ?Civilization
rests on a series of successful conversations.? ?Sam Harris Sam Harris?neuroscientist 
philosopher  and bestselling author?has been exploring some of the most important questions
about the human mind  society  and current events on his podcast  Making Sense. With over one
million downloads per episode  these discussions have clearly hit a nerve  frequently walking a
tightrope where either host or guest?and sometimes both?lose their footing  but always in
search of a greater understanding of the world in which we live. For Harris  honest
conversation  no matter how difficult or controversial  represents the only path to moral and
intellectual progress. This book includes a dozen of the best conversations from Making Sense 
including talks with Daniel Kahneman  Timothy Snyder  Nick Bostrom  and Glenn Loury  on topics
that range from the nature of consciousness and free will  to politics and extremism  to living
ethically. Together they shine a light on what it means to ?make sense? in the modern world.
