	Description:		Robert Wright, author of Why Buddhism Is True, talks with EconTalk host Russ Roberts about the psychotherapeutic insights of Buddhism and the benefits of meditation and mindfulness.

He argues that meditation and the non-religious aspects of Buddhism can reduce suffering and are consistent with recent psychological research.
