Why Buddhism is True: The Science and Philosophy of Meditation and Enlightenment by Robert Wright

I loved this book. What an exciting and profoundly insightful read and one that is right up my alley. As I proceed on my journey in attempts to figuring life out and importantly trying to discover ways to dissolve suffering and regret to live with enduring deep happiness this book helps satisfy that itch.
