【Content Introduction】
This is a book of insight that subverts cognition. The author verifies the philosophical thoughts in Buddhism with the cutting-edge achievements in modern psychology, evolutionary psychology, modern brain science and other research fields, helping us to recognize the causal relationship between gene carriers, evolutionary psychology and human self-consciousness, and liberating us from the limited perspective of natural selection.
Let us break through the illusions of our brains and discover our truer selves; reach a broader sense of sympathy from a transcendent perspective; see the truth of things and truly experience the original beauty of the world.
