EP.176 - The Awakened Brain with Dr Lisa Miller, Ph.D., Leading Psychologist & Scientist, Columbia Professor and NYT Bestselling Author
The Psychology of Spirituality and our Search for Meaning
Dr Lisa Miller, Ph.D., is the New York Times bestselling author of The Spiritual Child and a professor in the Clinical Psychology Program at Teachers College, Columbia University.
Dr Lisa Miller, Ph.D., is a Leading Psychologist and Scientist on Spirituality, Mental Health and Flourishing.
She is the founder and director of the Spiritual Mind Body Institute, the first Ivy League program in spirituality and psychology, and has held over a decade of joint appointments in the Department of Psychiatry at Columbia University Medical School.
Here innovative research has been published in more than one hundred peer-reviewed articles in leading journals, including Cerebral Cortex, The American Journal of Psychiatry, and the Journal of the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry.
Dr. Miller is Editor of the Oxford University Press Handbook of Psychology and Spirituality, Founding Co-Editor-in-Chief of the APA Journal Spirituality in Clinical Practice, an elected Fellow of The American Psychological Association (APA) and the two-time President of the APA sOCIETY FOR Psychology and Spirituality.
A graduate of Yale University and University of Pennsylvania, where she earned her doctorate under the founder of positive psychology, Martin Seligman, she has served as Principal Investigator on multiple grant funded studies.
Dr. Lisa Miller,Ph.D. has spent decades researching the effects of spirituality on the brain. In her book The Awakened Brain, she draws on her clinical experience and award-winning research to show how an active spiritual life can transform our physical and psychological wellbeing.
Bringing scientific rigour to the most intangible aspect of our lives, Miller offers insights into the neurological basis for the increased resilience that comes with nurturing spirituality and highlights its measurable positive effects: decreasing the likelihood of depression and substance abuse, and shifting the course of recovery in many other clinical settings.
Woven throughout is miller's personal story of how, while confronting her own challenges, her professional pragmatism gave way to a greater appreciation of insights that are important to so many people and yet so often dismissed as unscientific.
Brimming with inspiration and compassion, this landmark book will revolutionize your understanding of spirituality, mental health and how we find meaning and purpose in life.
Whether it's an uplifting walk in nature, meditation or prayer, there are many ways to experience heightened awareness and escape the relentless demands of modern life.
The range of opportunities of this kind suggest that it isn't dependent on faith or religion, but that it's about a different mode of living; an innate spirituality.
The Awakened Brain, combines cutting-edge science (from MRI studies to genetic research, epidemiology, and more) with on-the-ground application for people of all ages and from all walks of life, illuminating the surprising science of spirituality and how to engage it in our lives.
Absorbing, uplifting, and ultimately enlightening, The Awakened Brain is a conversation-starting saga of scientific discovery packed with counterintuitive findings and practical advice on concrete ways to access your innate spirituality and build a life of meaning and contribution.
Yvette Le Blowitz Podcast Host sits down with Dr Lisa Miller, Ph.D., Author of The Awakened Brain to find out about the ground-breaking exploration of the neuroscience of spirituality a bold new paradigm for health, healing and resilience.
