Title: A great introduction into neurotheology and neuropsychiatry.
Product review: The book starts out very well. The author uses logic and clear terms to explain everything. But then he starts making stupid assumptions left and right. Newberg explains mystical experiences and the "feeling of the presence of God" and then says that they're just as real as eating an apple pie because they can be examined in the brain. That's like saying that my conversation with God while I'm on coke is just as real as eating an apple pie because you can see the neural processes in my brain. In short he says that because it feels as real as eating an apple pie it IS as real as eating an apple pie.But don't misunderstand me; the book is a great introduction into the field. Just don't base your beliefs on everything this book says.
