Part 3 of The Marriage of Science & Spirit: Negotiating the Great Pre-Nup--Zooming Out on Talking Back to Sam Harris In Part 3 of "The Marriage of Science & Spirit: Negotiating the Great Pre-Nup," I begin to articulate a critique of Sam Harris's "Waking Up."

Finding Your "Yes" In our inner debates between optimistic and pessimistic perspectives on humanity's prospects, we don't have to handicap the evolutionary horse race. We just need to find an unconditional commitment on the basis of which we can live.
