4 ideas12 connections

Neuroscientist, philosopher, and author whose books — including The End of Faith, The Moral Landscape, Free Will, and Waking Up — sit at the intersection of rationalism, ethics, consciousness, and religion. He co-founded Project Reason, a nonprofit promoting scientific knowledge and secular values, and hosts the Making Sense podcast exploring topics from artificial intelligence and meditation to political polarization and the nature of the self. A committed meditator trained under Dzogchen masters, he founded the Waking Up app to make contemplative practice accessible outside religious frameworks.
