    Is it our biological destiny to seek the divine? Is faith in a higher power a survival trait? On God and the Brain, Dr. Andrew Newberg presents intriguing evidence that the human brain is a "believing machine"—and that our capacity for self-transcendence and spirituality helps drive our evolution as a species. 
    This pioneer of brain studies presents the first audio course on his groundbreaking research into the fascinating links between faith, neurobiology, and the mysteries of the psyche, including:  •  Why this emerging science enriches both the faithful and the skeptical  •  How prayer and meditation enhance your health—tips for tailoring a spiritual regimen that suits your individual needs  •  How the world's spiritual paths uniquely shape the brain and mind  •  The "myth-making brain"—the survival value of our storytelling and human imagination  •  The biology of forgiveness—why this critical spiritual skill is so important to your physical and psychological wellness 
    No matter what you believe—or don't believe—about God, the parts of your brain that manifest spiritual experience have a profound impact on your entire identity. With his balanced approach of spiritual wonder and scientific rigor, Dr. Andrew Newberg is a leader in exploring the uncharted territory where our human bodies overlap with our experience of the sacred. On God and the Brain, he shares core insights that will deepen your understanding of our most human gift—the experience of the divine. 
    Course objectives:  •  Describe how our spiritual beliefs and practices affect our physical and mental health  •  Compile a detailed account of the entire nervous system, the different areas of the brain and what they are responsible for, both physically and emotionally  •  Discuss the history of religion and how its importance and practices have shifted in the past century  •  Discuss the results of Newberg's studies of spirituality, and discuss why spirituality is hard to measure in a test-like hypothesis  •  Assess the basic ways in which spiritual practices differ from one another, and also how they share some common characteristics

    A Next Big Idea Club "Must Read" for August 2025! 
     
    Extreme heat, fires, floods, and storms are transforming our planet. Yet we get increasing emissions, divisive politics, and ersatz solutions that offer more of the same: more capitalism, more complexity, more "progress." 
     
    The impasse we face is not only political and institutional, but cognitive, existential, and narrative. We're incapable of grasping the scale, speed, and impact of global warming. And we optimistically cling to a narrative that promises a better tomorrow if we just keep doing what we're doing. 
     
    It's past time to free ourselves from our dangerous and dogmatic faith. Such unwarranted optimism will accelerate our disintegration. If we want to have hope for the future, it must be grounded in a recognition of human limits—a view Scranton calls ethical pessimism. 
     
    Scranton describes the challenges we face in making sense of our predicament, from problems in communication to questions of justice, from the inherent biases in human perception to the difficulties of empirical knowledge. What emerges is a challenging but hopeful proposition: if we have the courage to accept our limits, we may find a way to embrace our future.
