review 1: I was expecting a straight out scientific book, but instead it is mixed in with some self-help themes as well. It is more of a self help book than science, and I say this because the tone and style is 'cosy' and full of anecdotes and is very, very balanced and careful when discussing God/god, and is full of practical things to do.I think that this has made the book better than what I expected and I found myself surprised in a good way by the practical meditations that they suggest.
review 2: I first read this book in 2012 in a book group where the discussion was lively. Newberg and his co-author Mark Waldman write persuasively in arguing the fact that a simple meditation practice--with or without elements from an established religious tradition--can significant... morely improve quality of life. More importantly, they argue toward evidence-based conclusions that meditation practice can alter brain function for the better. They take insights developed in the 1970s by Herbert Benson in his book The Relaxation Response, and extend them further with clinical study and profound results. less
