Observing a feeling can create space between an impulse and a response.

Pragmatic review
Wright connects Buddhist ideas, evolutionary psychology and his account of meditation. The practical entry point is close observation of thoughts and feelings rather than immediate identification with them. For readers interested in attention, it provides questions to explore carefully through modest practice and wider reading.
WTM Signal Review
WTM’s judgement: an engaging interpretive bridge; the title states the author’s argument, not a verified conclusion about all Buddhist traditions. Philosophical claims, scientific evidence and personal experience should remain distinct. Meditation is not a universal remedy, and difficult experiences should not be dismissed as a failure of effort.
One practical next step
Observe one ordinary feeling for a brief period; describe its components before deciding what to do.
