Sam Harris on Meditation, Mindfulness, and Morality: According to neuroscientist and philosopher Sam Harris, rationality is the key to safeguarding everything we cherish, and its only true enemy is dogmatic inflexibility.

They discuss what Harris has learned as a podcaster and author, and how ecstasy launched his spiritual journey.
