This book explores scientific breakthroughs on spiritual experiences from the fields of psychology and neuroscience, beginning with an account of William James's foundational work before turning to cutting-edge research using neuroimaging, psychedelics, and large surveys. Illustrated with examples of spiritual experiences drawn from a diverse set of personal accounts, this book provides the basis for a scientifically informed contemporary understanding of these mysterious and deeply meaningful moments.
