Harris's book explores how contemplative wisdom (largely influenced by religion and spirituality) and modern science are married in meditation. This marriage is a controversial one, in that many scientists are skeptical of its legitimacy. 

 The author, Sam Harris, is also a scientist and a skeptic who has spent years researching this spiritual practice.
