The Spiritual Brain: A Neuroscientist's Case for the Existence of the Soul Audiobook

" I am reading it now. "

" Tedious and poorly organized. From reviews I expected a lot more. "

" Excellent look at the neuroscience of the brain and what the definition of mind and consciousness is. "

" From a christian perspective, this book got into some weird stuff that needed filtering, but overall I enjoyed it. "

" Excellent book showing the latest thinking about the brain/mind connection. I don't think I have seen any other book or article that has so clearly defined the complexity of this issue for the average reader. "

" There is a compelling argument to be found in this book if the reader can wade through the defensiveness of the first few chapters. "

" It is hard to read but the info is fascinating. "

" My friend gave me this book as a gift. I was expecting more from it, and I couldn't get through it due to the bad science and factual errors. And I still don't understand what a soul is supposed to be. Don't bother, it's not worth it. "

" The universe and everything in it is mysterious, including our brains. "

" This is a must read for anyone interested in consciousness, religion or spirituality. It makes a strong argument against materialism in a field with room for little else. If you want to get the wheels turning, read this! "

" One of the best books I've read in trying to understand the mind/brain problem. Good to see some big guns being wheeled out in defence of the non-materialist view. And this book is a very big gun indeed. I highly recommend it for anyone exploring the nature of consciousness. "

" I've really got to stop reading books that have "Case" or "Verdict" in the title. Not worth the time. "

" After the first couple of chapters I got lost in all the psychobabble. Must, much too technical. "

" When I saw this book I was very excited. I was fascinated to hear what a neuroscience who believed in god would give as a neuroscience explanation for that believe. Instead I got a lot of poor logic and ad hominem attacks on scientists who don't believe in god. "

" For me, it was a great introduction to the concept of neuroplasticity, but take his theological arguments with a grain of salt! If this book left you thirsty for the former, I highly recommend 'The Brain that Changes Itself' by Norman Doidge. "

" Tedious and poorly organized. From reviews I expected a lot more. "

" This was a tiresome book, but I soldiered through. It attempts to answer the question, "Did God create the brain or did the brain create God?" I agreed with the conclusion (God created the brain) but did not think it followed from the process taken. "

" The universe and everything in it is mysterious, including our brains. "

" the authors did a good job of refuting the richard dawkins, "man is a bucket of meat balls" crowd, but the book fell flat on its promise to advance a convincing neurobiological case for the soul. aw crackers… i’m still agnostic "

" Interesting writing on mystical experiences. Very intense reading. "
