Story4.5 out of 5 stars 15
In this book, Andrew Newberg explores the latest findings of neurotheology, the multidisciplinary field linking neuroscience with religious and spiritual phenomena. He investigates some of the most controversial - and potentially transformative - implications of a neurotheological approach for the truth claims of religion and our understanding of minds and brains. Newberg leads listeners on a tour through key intersections of neuroscience and theology, including the potential evolutionary basis of religion.

Offers new application of existing data, well-argued
Reviewed: 03-11-23
Even for a lay person like myself, Newberg makes a clear argument for Neurotheology as a wrapper to contain both physical science and religion/spirituality with the aim of finding patterns, connections, and trends. It purports to answer long-standing questions about religious experiences, near-death experiences, spirituality, and maybe even consciousness itself. This book does not have the answers: rather it offers a theoretical path to get to them.
If you're interested in spirituality free of religious dogma, this is a fascinating read on what could be a growing field of science in and of itself. No matter how complex some of the issues seem, by the end of the book, you'll be able to see what they're after, and how they plan to get after it. Great read to stay on the crest of the discussion.

Nobody needs telling there isn’t enough time. We’re obsessed with our lengthening to-do lists, our overfilled inboxes, work-life balance, and the ceaseless battle against distraction; and we’re deluged with advice on becoming more productive and efficient, and “life hacks” to optimize our days. But such techniques often end up making things worse. The sense of anxious hurry grows more intense, and still the most meaningful parts of life seem to lie just beyond the horizon.

Bold and transformative
Reviewed: 12-30-21
This book made me rethink my relationship with time and absolutely. It's incredibly bold in its guidance to simply make decisions -- not necessarily about what to do and when, but what not to do. That is, let go of what isn't happening or what might have happened. In facing this myself, I was shocked at how much of my mind is truly consumed with re-examining past decisions and attempting to plan out every moment of my day going forward.
What this book has offered me is a path to peace of mind, or at least something closer to it than I've experienced before. The mindsets that it advised have shown me instant impact. Highly recommended for anyone and everyone, and I plan to read again.
