Publisher Description
A neuroscientist and surgeon makes an argument for the existence of a spiritual human soul in this eye-opening book.
Many scientists and doctors believe that there is no such thing as the soul. That there is no part of us that persists beyond death. We are not spiritual in any respect. We are made up of cells and tissue, and completely controlled by a material organ in our heads: the brain. In this groundbreaking book, Dr. Michael Egnor makes the case—based on 40 years of practice and over 7,000 brain surgeries—that science has gotten it all wrong.
The human brain is incredible, mysterious, and powerful. But it’s not what makes us who we are. The soul does that. Drawing on the most important research studies in neuroscience, Dr. Egnor presents evidence that the brain alone does not explain the mind. He explores, using modern neuroscience and his vast surgical experience, how inside every damaged brain there is a thinking, feeling person with a spiritual soul that transcends the brain, using fascinating case studies to prove his claim.
Engaging, thought-provoking, and groundbreaking, The Immortal Mind shows here that some aspect of who we are is spiritual and immortal, transcending the physical body.
Customer Reviews
Solid as materialism
This book points directly to the fact that classical science struggles to explain everything. If you are an Atheist- try not to be put off by the theology- Dr. Egnor’s science and findings as are solid as materialism.
It takes a brain surgeon to open our minds to the least understood organism in our body and beyond. A must read.
What a joke
Way to show your bias directly in the dedications section. Spent 20$ on the audiobook and within 5 seconds had to turn it off because it already mentions Christianity. I’m not even saying the christians are wrong. I am pretty interested in consciousness
and am open to the idea of it continuing but i mean come on. It’s almost funny how quick that went south. I guess the one saving grace is i can turn it off in the first five seconds instead of wasting 7 hours listening to an obviously biased argument.
