Book Summary Notes: Waking Up – Sam Harris
- Chasing pleasure and avoiding pain is no way to live your life.
- Becoming mindful around our own thoughts can help us reign them in and take back some control.
- The practice of meditation can teach you many things but one of the most important is the ability to quietly let your thoughts pass you by.
- Spirituality and religion don’t have to be one and the same. It’s possible to have one without the other.
- For new people starting down this path be particularly careful of who you choose to work with or emulate.
