Description

“The Immortal Mind” by Michael Egnor and Denyse O’Leary is a beautifully unsettling book in the best sense: it disturbs the shallow certainty that we are nothing but our brains and quietly reawakens the ancient conviction that we are spiritual beings created for more than this life. Drawing on decades of neurosurgical experience and a deep engagement with both modern neuroscience and classical philosophy, Egnor and O’Leary argue that the human mind cannot be explained by matter alone because at the core of each person is an immaterial, immortal soul. The result is a narrative that feels both scientifically rigorous and spiritually hopeful, a rare combination in contemporary discussions about consciousness.

Sabbatical

A sabbatical is like hitting the cosmic pause button, announcing to the world, “I’m not quitting, I’m just… professionally napping.” Instead of answering emails, we suddenly become the kind of person who says things like, “I’m taking time to realign my vocation with my deepest values,” while mostly realigning your body with the couch. Truthwins.com [http://Truthwins.com] subscribers imagine we are backpacking across holy sites and writing a life-changing book, but in reality, we may spend three days debating whether making coffee counts as a spiritual discipline. Still, we will return now and then looking mysteriously rested, clutching a half-finished manuscript, a new journal, and the unshakable conviction that next September we will have amazingly new wisdom to share.
