In the light of modern science, both the Buddhist diagnosis and the Buddhist prescription make a whole new kind of sense. Drawing on the latest in neuroscience and psychology, Wright explains why the path toward truth and the path toward happiness are the same path. Robert Wright not only shows how taking this promise seriously can change your life-how it can loosen the grip of anxiety, regret, and hatred-but also how it can deepen your appreciation of beauty and of other people. At the heart of Buddhist meditative practice is a radical promise: we can learn to see the world, including ourselves, more clearly, and so gain a deep and morally valid happiness. At the heart of Buddhism is a simple claim: The reason we suffer-and the reason we make other people suffer-is that we don't see the world clearly. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The little movements that they got the dog to do totally portrayed the progression of the rabies infection.

We have to know about Charity wanting to get her and her son away from Joe for a while so that no one knew something was wrong with Cujo until it was too late. We have to know that Joe Camber was planning to go out of town and stopped his mail. This setup is necessary though to make the situation seem realistic and believable.
