FROM THE BEST-SELLING AUTHOR OF 'WAKING UP' and 'THE END OF FAITH', AN ADAPTATION OF HIS WILDLY POPULAR, OFTEN CONTROVERSIAL PODCAST.
"CIVILIZATION RESTS ON SUCCESSFUL CONVERSATIONS." (SAM HARRIS)
Sam Harris - neuroscientist, philosopher, and best-selling 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 off 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 Glen 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.
