Sam Harris - Death and the Present Moment

Sam Harris is a challenging figure for me - his perspectives do not feel consistent or, rather, I struggle with my sense of moral inconsistency in his writings. It's hard for me to reconcile the man who believes in torture and racial profiling with the man who has had a long-term meditation practice and whose next book seeks to revive the word spiritual in a non-New Age context.

I guess these are simply my issues - he is what he is.
