Description
Book SynopsisDrawing on his own research along with others' work in neuroscience as well as some research in NDE (near-death experiences), the author proves that genuine spiritual experiences can be documented and they generally have life-changing effects. He explains how such experiences work and the difference they make in the lives of the individual.
Trade Review"A very important book, clearly explaining non-materialist neuroscience in simple terms appropriate for the lay reader." -- Jeffrey M. Schwartz, MD, Research Psychiatrist, UCLA, author of The Brain Lock and The Mind and the Brain "The Spiritual Brain is a wonderful and important book...a necessary read for both the scientist and the religious person." -- Andrew Newberg, M.D. Associate Professor of Radiology and Director of the Center for Spirituality and the Mind at the University of Pennsylvania.and co-author of Why We Believe What We Believe. "A refreshing antidote to the arguments offered by some scientists who insist that their minds, and yours, are meaningless illusions." -- Dean Radin, PhD, Senior Scientist, Institute of Noetic Sciences and author of The Conscious Universe and Entangled Minds "A sweeping critique of the trend to explain away religious experience as a brain artifact, pathology, or evolutionary quirk." -- Publishers Weekly In clear, readable prose, avoiding highly technical language, neuroscientist Beauregard argues merely physical explanations for religious experience are insufficient. Recommended." -- Library Journal Lends scientific credence to the existence of a higher or universal consciousness. -- Booklist (starred review) Drawing on Beauregard's own research into religious experiences, a researched case for the nonmaterial-and ultimately spiritual-nature of man. -- World Magazine Beauregard uses evidence to show that the self or soul is not simply locked inside the skull. -- Philadelphia Inquirer I heartily advocate the purchase of this book -- Perspectives on Science and Christian Faith Mario Beauregard and Denyse O'Leary have produced a provocatively titled book covering an equally provocative topic. -- Christian's Scholar Review
