In Part I of our interview with Dr. Lisa Miller, PhD, we discussed her new book "The Awakened Brain: The New Science of Spirituality and Our Quest for an Inspired Life," and discovered how depression can be an opportunity for what we call in Positive Psychology, Post-Traumatic Growth. Dr. Miller discussed two types of awareness, "awakened awareness" and "achievement awareness." In part I of our discussion, Dr. Miller talked about the downsides of our "achievement awareness" society.
In Part 2, we discuss the empirical data available from fMRI studies on the "awakened brain." Dr. Miller leads us through two visualization exercises that help us experience our awakened brain that provides us an opportunity for spiritual growth.
