I'd like to express my thanks and gratitude to Sam Harris. You can find him at samharris.org. He has written a few books, one of which I've read, Waking Up. I plan on reading a few others. I listen to his podcast, Making Sense, as well. He also has a new meditation application called Waking Up which I also use. On this app, he has a number of "lessons" that are short thoughts on topics like gratitude and free will. Behind his paywall, on samharris.org he has, as of June 2019, sixteen episodes of his AMA's (Ask me anything), which are always very entertaining, thoughtful and helpful.
Wikipedia has this description of him as "an American neuroscientist, philosopher,[3] author, critic of religion,[4] blogger, public intellectual, and podcast host."
I find his thoughts to be very insightful and he sounds very genuine, authentic and empathetic. On occasion, he can be quite blunt, especially around his thoughts around radical Islam.
On the who I find listening to him and reading his work to be helpful, reassuring and foundational for my well being.
Thanks, Sam Harris!
