{"product_id":"9780063482623_the-spiritual-brain","title":"The Spiritual Brain","description":"\u003cp\u003eCurrent scientific philosophy, guided by materialism, argues that religious experience is the product of nothing more than the wiring of the brain. In \u003ci\u003eThe Spiritual Brain\u003c\/i\u003e, Mario Beauregard and Denyse O’Leary, a distinguished neuroscientist and an award-winning writer, argue that this isn’t the case—that some people do contact a reality outside of themselves.\u003cbr\u003e    The authors suggest that we must move toward a non-materialist perspective that can explore and document these types of experiences. Beauregard uses the example of his own fascinating research study in which Montreal nuns were scanned with MRI equipment to show that multiple sections of the brain are involved in religious experiences, not just one “God spot,” as many have claimed.\u003cbr\u003e    Provocative, lively and accessible, \u003ci\u003eThe Spiritual Brain\u003c\/i\u003e is a book for anyone who is religious or spiritual—and for those interested in debate about the existence of a higher consciousness.\u003cbr\u003eSupplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mario Beauregard","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46899935903893,"sku":"9780063482623","price":46.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0484\/3175\/9509\/files\/9780063482623_d0c4d8b6-e4e5-48de-a918-89ad84536915.jpg?v=1776888255","url":"https:\/\/harpercollins.com.au\/products\/9780063482623_the-spiritual-brain","provider":"HarperCollins AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
