review 1: If anyone is interested in justifying the practice of religion and using philosophy, this book has provided scientific reasons to do so. It is an important book if you wish to dramatically improve the standards of mental performance including your overall well being. What I expected to gain from it however was more actual scientific knowledge, such as the function of dopamine and how it is produced, the effects and the potential causes, etc.It was still a thoroughly enjoyable and surprisingly pragmatic piece of scientific and spiritual literature.
review 2: Parts of the book very good. Reinvigorates the philosophy of mind debate by putting it in a much larger setting of general well-being, and the influence we can have over our own health if we put our mind to ... moreit. The best parts though are where actual brain science is considered, including some of its shaky assumptions, and alternatives are proposed. The more speculative spiritual stuff is not so good to my mind, as I have read that kind of thing many times, it just seems a bit too generic to have much interest to me. For more pure spiritual stuff, I would recommend Eckhart Tolle instead. This book is great for the medical science connection, being written by two medical scientists this would be as expected. Though it is controversial in giving us an autonomy and control over our own health coming from our own mind/brain connection, as opposed to mainline medical science that sees physical causes as preceding our own mental autonomic causes. less
