About this listen
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.
Lisa Miller has spent decades researching the effects of spirituality on the brain. 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 revolutionise your understanding of spirituality, mental health and how we find meaning and purpose in life.

I loved this book, it was so heartwarming
I loved this book, as I learnt so much, and it was so amazing how Dr Lisa Miller, Ph.D combined her own personal stories, along with decades of mental health experience and her cutting edge research and sharing of the science of Spirituality and the benefits to our mental health is a game changer and that’s why I think everyone needs to listen or read this book.
I was so excited to find out about ways that we can prevent depression, addiction and also help with relapses, to discover the science and what is going on in the brain when it comes to practicing spirituality blew me away.
