Het ontwaakte brein: Ontdek de spirituele kracht van je hersenen
Spiritualiteit zit in iedereen. Of je nu bidt of mediteert, of je nu in de natuur wandelt of inspirerende boeken leest, er zijn veel manieren om een spiritueel bewustzijn aan te boren. Het maakt niet uit hoe oud je bent of hoe je leven tot nu toe gelopen is: je kunt op elk moment je spirituele zoektocht beginnen. Het ontwaakte brein laat je zien hoe. New York Times-bestsellerauteur Lisa Miller onthult de neurowetenschap van spiritualiteit en laat zien dat een 'ontwaakt brein' kan zorgen voor een betere gezondheid, meer veerkracht en voldoening voor iedereen. Ze laat ook zien welke meetbare positieve effecten een 'ontwaakt brein' heeft. Het boek is doorweven met Millers persoonlijke verhaal, over hoe haar professionele pragmatisme plaats maakte voor een groeiende waardering voor spirituele inzichten die belangrijk zijn voor zoveel mensen en toch zo vaak als onwetenschappelijk worden afgedaan. 'Dr. Miller is de perfecte wetenschapper die weigert een van de grootste en schadelijkste aannames binnen onze cultuur te aanvaarden: dat wetenschap en spiritualiteit op gespannen voet staan. Ze laat ontegenzeglijk zien dat spiritualiteit geneest.' – Larry Dossey, MD, bestsellerauteur Healing Words 'Een fascinerende kijk op wat er met onze hersenen gebeurt als we verbonden zijn met iets groters dan onszelf en wat het doet voor ons leven.' – Adam Grant, auteur Think Again, host van de TED-podcast WorkLife 'Een gezondsheids- en welzijnsrevolutie.' – Deepak Chopra

The Awakened Brain: The Psychology of Spirituality and Our Search for Meaning
Brought to you by Penguin. A ground-breaking exploration of the neuroscience of spirituality and a bold new paradigm for health, healing and resilience Whether it's an uplifting walk in nature, meditation or prayer, there are many ways to experience heightened awareness and escape the relentless demands of modern life. The range of opportunities of this kind suggest that it isn't dependent on faith or religion, but that it's about a different mode of living; an innate spirituality.

In this book she draws on her clinical experience and award-winning research to show how an active spiritual life can transform our physical and psychological wellbeing. Bringing scientific rigour to the most intangible aspect of our lives, Miller offers insights into the neurological basis for the increased resilience that comes with nurturing spirituality and highlights its measurable positive effects: decreasing the likelihood of depression and substance abuse, and shifting the course of recovery in many other clinical settings. Woven throughout is Miller's personal story of how, while confronting her own challenges, her professional pragmatism gave way to a greater appreciation of insights that are important to so many people and yet so often dismissed as unscientific. Brimming with inspiration and compassion, this landmark book will revolutionize your understanding of spirituality, mental health and how we find meaning and purpose in life. © Lisa Miller 2021 (P) Penguin Audio 2021

Heaven: Our Enduring Fascination with the Afterlife
Eighty percent of Americans say they believe in heaven, but very few of them are able to articulate anything specific about their belief, leaving only questions. Is heaven a real place? Is it a city or a garden or both? Can you keep your body there? If so, can you eat, drink, make love? Are you recognizable as yourself in heaven? Do your relationships continue there? Or is heaven something else? A radical idea? A disembodied, unconscious existence? A sense of progression toward perfect understanding, justice, beauty, truth? Jewish, Christian and Muslim theologians and scholars have dissected these questions-and others like them-for thousands of years, yet in today's world, most people leave them pretty well alone, content to live with a shallow or incomplete sense of what they do believe. Award-winning journalist Lisa Miller dissects these ancient theologies and their different ideas regarding an afterlife by looking at what the beliefs are, how they have impacted one another, and also how they have reacted to the needs and lifestyles of their followers through the ages. By looking at profiles of real people and history, and analyzing conversations with scholars, Heaven forces people to grapple with their beliefs about heaven. It holds up a mirror to allow Americans to gauge how their ideas about heaven measure up to traditional and popular ideas throughout history in an accessible, palatable way.
