From neuroscientist Andrew Newberg, Sex, God, and the Brain argues that our religious and spiritual experiences are directly connected to our sexual being. While others have speculated on a connection between religion and sex, Andrew is the first to demonstrate—with groundbreaking brain scan research gained through Orgasmic Meditation studies—that the underlying biological mechanism of religious, spiritual, and sexual experiences are identical.
With research technical enough for academics, but explained simply enough for the everyday reader, Sex, God, and the Brain will reframe our understanding of the link between spirituality and sexuality.
Praise for the Book
“This book is so much fun. Sex, God, and the Brain examines groundbreaking research to turn common perceptions about sexuality and spirituality on its head. A must-read for anyone looking to better understand the profound relationship between sex and religion. Well-researched and deeply insightful.”
“Rigorous science wildly upends conventional thought. Here Dr Andrew Newberg creates a highly scholarly and evocative new scientific paradigm, that compels reexamination of our foundational human nature. He asks what might be the paths to awakening human perception of the unitive reality? How do different people arrive to this awareness, and is it really the same awareness? Do these paths intertwine, do they work, and if so, how?
“Newberg’s innovation is matched by his scientific precision to evoke a compelling inquiry, as he allows research to kick-open a door hitherto sealed by societal norms. Hold on tight! You are in the seat of a fearless, brilliant investigator.”
