The Waking Brain

Book •
Lisa Miller's 'The Waking Brain' investigates how spiritual experiences and practices influence mental health, resilience, and brain function.

Drawing on clinical research, neuroscience, and longitudinal studies, Miller argues that spirituality is a measurable dimension of wellbeing that can protect against depression and enhance life purpose.

The book offers both empirical findings and practical exercises to cultivate spiritual life regardless of religious affiliation.

It emphasizes the role of early childhood experiences and family in developing spiritual capacities.

Miller presents spirituality as a scientifically valid pathway to improved psychological functioning and deeper meaning.
