The Case for Buddhism William Woollard

This is a refreshingly direct and down-to-earth read. It takes a number of key issues that are central to the practice of Buddhism; the values of compassion and altruism and gratitude for example, the dilemma of suffering, dealing with destructive emotions such as anger and greed, the complex issues of morality and ethics and creating meaningful relationships, and it explores these issues from a classical Buddhist standpoint, and that of the latest sociological and psychological research. Buddhism has much to say about how we might approach these issues in a way that creates the greatest value for our lives and for those around us. And now modern science offers us an immensely illuminating and supportive perspective.
