The Awakened Brain

The New Science of Spirituality and Our Quest for an Inspired Life

De: Lisa Miller

Narrado por: Brittany Pressley

A groundbreaking exploration of the neuroscience of spirituality and a bold new paradigm for health, healing, and resilience - from a New York Times best-selling author and award-winning researcher.

“A new revolution of health and well-being and a testament to, and celebration of, the power within.” (Deepak Chopra, MD)

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 you and your place in it. In The Awakened Brain, psychologist Dr. Lisa Miller shows you how.

Weaving her own deeply personal journey of awakening with her groundbreaking research, Dr. Miller’s book reveals that humans are universally equipped with a capacity for spirituality and that our brains become more resilient and robust as a result of it. For leaders in business and government, truth-seekers, parents, healers, educators, and any person confronting life’s biggest questions, The Awakened Brain combines cutting-edge science (from MRI studies to genetic research, epidemiology, and more) with on-the-ground application for people of all ages and from all walks of life, illuminating the surprising science of spirituality and how to engage it in our lives:

• The awakened decision is the better decision. With an awakened perception, we are more creative, collaborative, ethical, and innovative.
• The awakened brain is the healthier brain. An engaged spiritual life enhances grit, optimism, and resilience while providing insulation against addiction, trauma, and depression.
• The awakened life is the inspired life. Loss, uncertainty, and even trauma are the gateways by which we are invited to move beyond merely coping with hardship to transcend into a life of renewal, healing, joy, and fulfillment.

Absorbing, uplifting, and ultimately enlightening, The Awakened Brain is a conversation-starting saga of scientific discovery packed with counterintuitive findings and practical advice on concrete ways to access your innate spirituality and build a life of meaning and contribution.

Among many of Lisa Miller's valued qualities that she generously offers to her readers in this book, it is important to highlight that she is an EXCEPTIONAL scientific researcher, writer, and speaker. I agree with absolutely everything she states so eloquently in her book. It is life-changing! A MUST READ/LISTEN!!

cert thought provoking and poignant,!

Enjoyed very much at crossroad in my personal life. I hope you're to implement the things I learned in this book. Thanks to the author 😀

Great stories! All the science!

Filled with information, easy to comprehend. Would love a second book. Narrative was soothing to the ears. which made it hard to take breaks. Listened to this in two days.

It explains a lot!

This book not only reflects my own experience through burnout and depression, but also explains why moving toward creativity (which for my is a doorway to spirituality and meaning) was so powerful and actually healthy. Ordered the book to, to better puck out the pieces that I want to get back to over and over.

Great insights in how our brain works and copes

I truly loved this book, nothing like mixing quantum physics, psychology and spirituality 😁! Always in pursuit of learning the world we live in and the world we perceive we live in, this book did not disappoint! Some wonderful appreciation for how to live your life and how to perceive the world and interact with it and the people in it so you can, in simple language, be happy!

Science AND Spirit

Fascinating research. It further reinforces the concept that we are first of all spiritual connected beings.

Spirituality & the Awakened Brain

Excellent story of her life and work in psychiatry. Her revelations on the awakened brain and its resistance to depression are fascinating.

Soul Truths

You don’t have to be religious to find truth and wisdom in this story. Spirituality in the brain has been scientifically proven to resist depression. I feel this in my being, I used to be religion A then switched to religion B, now am a follower of no religion but I believe near death experiencers that there is more than meets the eye in our universe. Her story was sweet and magical alongside the science.

Clear explanation of connectivity of all including science and spirituality!

Well written and spoken for audio. I will share toss audio with my family and friends.
