Is spiritual experience real? When we pray, what happens? Does consciousness depend entirely on your brain, or can it operate when the brain doesn't? Award-winning journalist Barbara Bradley Hagerty explores these questions and more as she delves into the startling discoveries that science is making about how faith and spirituality affect us physically, emotionally, and spirituality. She probes the work of some of the worlds's top scientists to describe what their groundbreaking research reveals about human spiritual experience. She meticulously documents scientific studies, interspersing them with the experiences of a number of individuals, including herself. Both an insightful examination of what science is learning about how and why we believe and a moving story of one person's search for a communion with a higher power.
