A Subtitle at Last! And Some Fun Links - O'Leary

Things have been busy lately, now that we have decided on a subtitle for neuroscientist Mario Beauregard's and my book, The Spiritual Brain: A neuroscientist's case for the existence of the soul. We went through quite a few subtitles, really, so many that I remember telling Mario and our agent at one point, "It's more trouble coming up with a subtitle than writing a chapter section!" But - I will say this - once we found the right subtitle, it seemed worth all the time and trouble. The right subtitle steers to the book those readers who can really benefit from it.

Here are some recent posts that might interest you, from my blog, Mindful Hack, which supports The Spiritual Brain:

Alcoholics: Spirituality corks the bottle

Artificial intelligence: Making the whole universe intelligent?

Theories of everything: A theory of everything must address consciousness

The power of one: Compassion is strictly a one-to-one thing

Intercessory prayer works, according to researcher

And here are some from the Post Darwinist blog that supports my book on the intelligent design controversy, By Design or by Chance?:

Historian of science slams Darwin myth-making (ridiculous hagiography)

Showdown in the restaurant at the end of the universe? (What about all these weird new theories about the universe?

Post-normal science: is that where we are now?

Now bookmark this, and get out there and enjoy some spring!
