Stuff You Might Want to Know If ... - O'Leary

Stuff you might want to know if you are not just a bunch of chemicals running around in a bag

The Spiritual Brain: A neuroscientist's case for the existence of the soul, by Montreal neuroscientist Mario Beauregard and myself, got a great review at Publishers Weekly. I am so glad they thought the book is lively, which it is, and controversial, which it also is, but the main thing is ... we show that you are not just a bunch of chemicals running around in a bag.

So these stories might interest you:
