Chris Niebauer – No Self, No Problem: How Neuropsychology is Catching Up to Buddhism
In this groundbreaking audiobook, neuropsychology professor Chris Niebauer explains how after decades of research on the brain, Western science may have inadvertently confirmed a fundamental tenet of Buddhism: anatta, or the doctrine of “no self”.
Niebauer shows how findings in neuropsychology suggest that our sense of self is actually an illusion created by the left side of the brain and that it exists in the same way a mirage in the middle of the desert exists: as a thought rather than a thing. This incredible thesis has significant and wide-ranging implications in psychology, philosophy, religion, and personal growth.
Not content to merely detail how this radical new – yet ancient – perspective could change our view of the world and what it means to be human, Niebauer also offers a range of intriguing exercises at the end of each chapter that will allow you to experience this truth for yourself.

Chris Niebauer’s No Self, No Problem explores the intersection of neuropsychology and Buddhism, examining how contemporary science is validating ancient Buddhist teachings. The book delves into the concept of “self” from both a psychological and neuropsychological perspective, arguing that the notion of a permanent, unchanging self is a cognitive illusion. Niebauer presents evidence from neuroscience that aligns with Buddhist ideas of non-self and mindfulness, suggesting that understanding these principles can lead to greater psychological well-being and personal transformation. The text combines scientific insights with practical applications, aiming to bridge the gap between modern psychology and spiritual wisdom.
