It's a very bizarre feeling, which I know everyone is sharing to one or another degree." — Sam HarrisSam Harris (<a href="https://twitter.com/SamHarrisOrg" target="_blank">@SamHarrisOrg</a>) is a neuroscientist, philosopher, and author of five New York Times bestsellers. His work covers a wide range of topics—neuroscience, moral philosophy, religion, meditation practice, human violence, rationality—but generally focuses on how a growing understanding of ourselves and the world is changing our sense of how we should live.
