3 quotes from Why Buddhism Is True

"The point of Buddhism is to provide a path toward a more fulfilling life—one in which we are less caught up in suffering, and less subject to delusions regarding what makes us happy."
"Our default state is to be absorbed by our thoughts and feelings, which can lead us to miss the reality of the present moment. Meditation helps break this automatic cycle and allows us to see through our own distortions."
"Buddhism offers insights that align with modern psychology, specifically regarding the nature of suffering and the ways we can alleviate it through mindfulness and understanding our reactions to stimuli."
