From
the bestselling author of Waking Up and The
End of Faith, a collection of the best conversations
from his wildly popular, often controversial podcast, Making Sense.

“Civilization rests on a series of successful conversations.” —Sam
Harris

Sam
Harris—neuroscientist, philosopher, and bestselling author—has been exploring
some of the most important questions about the human mind, society, and current
events on his podcast, Making
Sense. With over one million downloads per episode, these discussions
have clearly hit a nerve, frequently walking a tightrope where either host or
guest—and sometimes both—lose their footing, but always in search of a greater
understanding of the world in which we live. For Harris, honest conversation,
no matter how difficult or controversial, represents the only path to moral and
intellectual progress.

The Making
Sense audiobook
includes talks with Daniel Kahneman, Timothy Snyder, Nick Bostrom, and Glen Loury, on topics that range from the nature of
consciousness and free will, to politics and extremism, to living ethically.
Together they shine a light on what it means to “make sense” in the modern
world.

The world never made better sense to me

I couldn’t think of any other book that make me think a whole different way that I never had before. I am fortunate to get to know many brilliant minds and their work. I couldn’t appreciate more for you guys. Jaagi from Mongolia.

Fascinating and scary look at intelligence

This book (podcast) brought in experts from many facets life, technology, social sciences, and futurists. It covers historical, current,and future topics of man (referred to as an ape), and our connection with information, consciousness, and abilities through each of these epochs. I enjoyed listening, and I hope our planet is getting ready for what is to come.

Conversations unavailable elsewhere?

If such conversations are available elsewhere I would do there as I did here -- I'd immediately pay the entrance fee.

Wonderful

This is easily the best audible book I’ve consumed in recent memory. I continue to recommend to anyone willing to consider important issues (which is not everyone unfortunately).

The world’s brilliant people in conversation

Try as I might, the world’s most brilliant people don’t always want to hang out with me and talk about technology, society, the nature of consciousness, and the future of humanity. This collection was nearly as awesome as that.
