A groundbreaking exploration of the neuroscience of spirituality and a bold new paradigm for health, healing, and resilience 'Lisa Miller is the leading psychologist of her generation' Martin Seligman 'We can live chasing goals and rewards, lost in worries and regrets. Or we can awaken to the true fabric of the world, an evolving tapestry that we both behold and help to create, in which every thread matters and no strand stands alone' Whether it's meditation or a walk in nature, reading a sacred text or saying a prayer, there are many ways to tap into a heightened awareness of the world around us and our place in it. Lisa Miller draws on decades of clinical experience and award-winning research to show that humans are universally equipped with this capacity for spirituality, and that our brains become more resilient and robust as a result of it. Bringing scientific rigour to the most intangible aspect of our lives, Miller's counterintuitive findings reveal the measurable positive effects of spirituality: for better decision-making, a healthier brain and an inspired life. Brimming with inspiration and compassion, this landmark book revolutionizes our understanding of spirituality, mental health and how to find meaning and purpose in life. Review: Incredible book for anyone keen on understanding the overlap between Science and Faith - As a practitioner in the field of Mental health, I found this book to be an absolute gem. A book written with the courage to question "conventional" models of treatment, I truly enjoyed the fluid combination of hard science supplemented by subjective experiences of spirituality. There were several moments when I found myself overcome with emotions and awe. I do think this may be the need of the hour, given the rising Mental Health crisis in the world. Review: Beautiful book - The book is special as it is about how spirituality is deeply wired in us explained with scientific proof and it comes from a scientist. One lessons that is a balm for us while we are running our busy lives is that our highest good is in knowing that in this world we are all connected and ultimately we seek to be connected to the highest power that is peaceful and all loving

Spirituality And Depression
What an educational book! The author has been involved in a number of studies, the most interesting for me involves brain scans, depression, and the effects of spirituality on the brain. Being more spiritual has a positive effect on life in general. While medication is helpful for some people suffering from depression or anxiety, this book offers a possible alternative. I like that Lisa Miller shared so many examples of synchronicity and spirituality that were effective in better mental health. The book is both educational and well - written.

The scientific insights in these book deeply- thank you!
I devoured this book- the rigorous empirical research interspersed with personal narratives was compelling! It gave language to my personal journey of spiritual awakening. The constructs of an “achieving awareness” and “awakened awareness” were illuminating! Thank you Dr. Lisa Miller- this was my divine appointment!

Good read
Great book! I found it interesting. I bought it after hearing her talk on the Mel Robbins podcast. She does write about different studies that can be a bit boring if your not a doctor but there are enough personal experiences that keeps the reader interested. I would recommend this book.

Consiglio molto. Fonde fisica quantistica e fede Cristiana nella psicologia moderna. Credo si arrivi a questa lettura quando ne hai bisogno, in perfetta sincronicità jungiana o meglio dire divina
