Buy now to get the main key ideas from Andrew Newberg and Mark Robert Waldman’s How God Changes Your Brain



In How God Changes Your Brain (2009), Andrew Newberg, a neuroscientist, and Mark Robert Waldman, a therapist, look at trust in God through a scientific lens, examining how spiritual activities and beliefs change the human brain for the better.

The human brain's architecture and functions are altered by meditation and spiritual activities in ways that enhance mental and physical health, reduce sadness and anxiety, and delay neural aging. Consistent brain training alters social habits, resulting in improved relationships and social interactions. What's amazing is that these activities aren't only for religious people, and they don't require belief in God. Even atheists can enhance their mental health by practicing spirituality.

This empirically proved, scientifically supported book serves as both an analytical study and a practical guide to spiritual activities, aiming to both educate and motivate readers to make positive lifestyle changes.
