Product Description
God is fantastic—for your mental, corporal, and spiritual health. Based on new evidence culled from brain-scan studies, a wide-reaching survey of people’s religious and spiritual experiences, and the authors’ analyses of adult drawings of God, neuroscientist Andrew Newberg and therapist Mark Robert Waldman offer the following leap forward discoveries:
• Not only do prayer and spiritual do reduce stress, but just twelve minutes of meditation per day may slow down the aging administer.
• Contemplating a loving God rather than a punitive God reduces anxiety and depression and increases feelings of wellbeing, compassion, and like.
• Fundamentalism, in and of itself, can be personally beneficial, but the prejudice generated by extreme beliefs can everlastingly hurt your brain.
• Intense prayer and meditation everlastingly exchange numerous structures and functions in the brain, altering your values and the way you perceive reality.
Both a revelatory work of modern science and a matter-of-fact guide for readers to enhance their corporal and emotional health, How God Changes Your Brain is a first-of-a-kind book about faith that is as credible as it is inspiring.

These guys have no morals whatsoever. Just a link of months ago,the largest test ever conducted worldwide for the efficacy of prayer was conducted and painstakingly rejected. The world’s largest study into the effects of prayer on patients undergoing heart surgery has found it appears to make no difference.
The MANTRA study, run from Duke University Medical Focal top in North Carolina, caught up 750 patients.” I guess these two ’salesmen’ don’t read medical studies, just a bible. shame on them for shaking down the gullible.

“Effectively every religion preaches positive concepts.” This is fake, dangerously fake. One of the world’s greatest religions preaches negative concepts. Children learn to kill and commit suicide. The West ignores this horrible teaching, and does nothing to stop this evil education. We will not have peace in the world until we actively and militarily fight this education system.
The only dark side to religion the book mentions is people feeling they contracted a disease because God punished them. Again, no mention of the dark side of teaching that the whole world must follow a single religion, and believers are obligated to kill and die for this belief.
“Whether we embrace spiritual or secular values, the ultimate goal is the same.” Incorrect! The ultimate goal of one fantastic religion is destruction, murder, and suicide.
Wake up, doctor! Get out of your university and local patients! Get to see people trying to kill Americans because of religion!

When you start talking about God you are not doing science no matter what your degree is in or what your objective is, even if your God is only a feeling. If God is a feeling, a color, or, to use a phenomenological term, a “qualia”, then be honest and call it a feeling or an emotion or the color blue. This seems to be what God is for most believers anyway in contempory American religions.
The author has written a book that will no doubt sell a lot of copies to those who don’t know the necessity of basing science on reliably retestable hypotheses. And he gets to tap into the Christian bookstore shoulder bag.
Anecdotal events, which are what his book is based on, are not reliable tests and prove nothing. By appealing to what some might want to hear, Andrew Newberg has divorced himself from any reliable neuroscience. Everlastingly.
I was amused by Peter’s earlier review, where he wrote, “Not one of the hundreds of the ancient men whom God had selected to be His vicars on earth, i.e. not one of the popes, had to be indifferent from office because of mental disability.” There are several excellent explanations for that and perhaps the best is that religious belief makes a cloud that makes it impossible to know whether dementia has already set in or not. So how would they know?
There is one possibly excellent consequence of that plight. Those countries, such as Iran, that are theocracies ruled by aging absolute religious leaders who cannot be indifferent from office in do except by overthrowing the government, tend to have very unstable governments because of the increasingly terrible decisions they make. They cannot be indifferent from office for the same reason that Peter mistakenly thinks that thought a lot of religious thoughts in some way makes your mind/brain a better place.
I simply reckon that is the silliest thought I’ve heard of in a even as. Thought or believing nonsense does nothing beneficial to the mind/brain.

Perhaps God exists only in the brain.
Perhaps not.
Science has no attitude.
Science only sees what it can measure.
Science can measure health.
Science cannot measure God;
but science can measure God’s footprint,
or in this case, thumbprint?

Not one of the hundreds of the ancient men whom God had selected to be His vicars on earth, i.e. not one of the popes, had to be indifferent from office because of mental disability. Considering how many ancient people become senile, this is incredible proof of what God can do for people’s brains.
