I often think about the topic today's guest, Dr. Mona Sobhani, has researched and written about. Can science and spirituality coexist? I, like many others who work in a hospital, have seen too much, and heard too many sad stories. In order for me to make sense of it all, I feel like there has to be something more out there, because otherwise it would be too heartbreaking and meaningless. In this episode, we have a great conversation about all of this, giving us hope that the mysteries of human experience go far beyond what the present scientific paradigm can comprehend, thus leaving open the possibility of a participatory, meaningful Universe.
Mona Sobhani, PhD, is a cognitive neuroscientist and author. She holds a doctorate in neuroscience from the University of Southern California and completed a post-doctoral fellowship at Vanderbilt University with the MacArthur Foundation Law and Neuroscience Project. In her book "Proof of Spiritual Phenomena: A Neuroscientist's Discovery of the Ineffable Mysteries of the Universe," she details her transformation from scientific materialist to spiritual seeker.
