Story
Awe is mysterious. How do we begin to quantify the goose bumps we feel when we see the Grand Canyon, or the utter amazement when we watch a child walk for the first time? How do you put into words the collective effervescence of standing in a crowd and singing in unison, or the wonder you feel while gazing at centuries-old works of art? In Awe, Dacher Keltner presents a radical investigation and deeply personal inquiry into this elusive emotion.

Story
Challenging leading scientific theories that claim that our senses report back objective reality, cognitive scientist Donald Hoffman argues that while we should take our perceptions seriously, we should not take them literally. How can it be possible that the world we see is not objective reality? And how can our senses be useful if they are not communicating the truth? Hoffman grapples with these questions and more over the course of this eye-opening work.

Story
We’re all born with a certain “imprint” for work that makes us come alive. This is your "Sparketype®," your DNA-level driver of work that lets you know, deep down, you’re doing what you’re here to do. Work that motivates you, fills you with purpose and, fully-expressed in a healthy way, becomes a main-line to meaning, flow, performance, and joy. Put another way, work that “sparks” you.

Publisher's Summary
A groundbreaking exploration of the neuroscience of spirituality and a bold new paradigm for health, healing, and resilience - from a New York Times best-selling author and award-winning researcher.
“A new revolution of health and well-being and a testament to, and celebration of, the power within.” (Deepak Chopra, MD)
Whether it’s meditation or a walk in nature, reading a sacred text or saying a prayer, there are many ways to tap into a heightened awareness of the world around you and your place in it. In The Awakened Brain, psychologist Dr. Lisa Miller shows you how.
Weaving her own deeply personal journey of awakening with her groundbreaking research, Dr. Miller’s book reveals that humans are universally equipped with a capacity for spirituality and that our brains become more resilient and robust as a result of it. For leaders in business and government, truth-seekers, parents, healers, educators, and any person confronting life’s biggest questions, The Awakened Brain combines cutting-edge science (from MRI studies to genetic research, epidemiology, and more) with on-the-ground application for people of all ages and from all walks of life, illuminating the surprising science of spirituality and how to engage it in our lives:
- The awakened decision is the better decision. With an awakened perception, we are more creative, collaborative, ethical, and innovative.
- The awakened brain is the healthier brain. An engaged spiritual life enhances grit, optimism, and resilience while providing insulation against addiction, trauma, and depression.
- The awakened life is the inspired life. Loss, uncertainty, and even trauma are the gateways by which we are invited to move beyond merely coping with hardship to transcend into a life of renewal, healing, joy, and fulfillment.
Absorbing, uplifting, and ultimately enlightening, The Awakened Brain is a conversation-starting saga of scientific discovery packed with counterintuitive findings and practical advice on concrete ways to access your innate spirituality and build a life of meaning and contribution.
What the critics say
"Dr. Miller’s cutting-edge research heralds a new revolution of health and well-being. The Awakened Brain is an investigation of the choice we each have in confronting challenges and limitations - and it’s a testament to, and celebration of, the power within.” (Deepak Chopra, MD, New York Times best-selling author of Super Brain)
“A captivating look at what happens to our brains when we’re connected to something greater than ourselves - and what it does for our lives.” (Adam Grant, number one New York Times best-selling author of Think Again and host of the TED podcast WorkLife)
“The Awakened Brain is a revelation of the spirit and the mind, and a revolution for all of us. Dr. Lisa Miller’s science is on the cutting edge, and her personal journey is both heartrending and uplifting.” (Lori Gottlieb, New York Times best-selling author of Maybe You Should Talk to Someone)

Amazing book about how to transfer your focus
I am glad I purchased this book. Made me think again about the way we are connected and how our brain can focus and how it is connected to all that is.

Six Minutes in One Book
Skip the book. Way too much fluff overriding a central idea. Watched Lisa's Big Think interview where the core concept was discussed.
The idea and the research behind it seem solid and was nicely summed up in the six minute monologue.
Somehow, the whole book manages to add nothing to the core thesis which can be entirely summed up in Lisa's Big Think presentation.
