Dr. Lisa Miller is a Professor in the Clinical Psychology Program at Columbia University, where she founded the Spirituality Mind Body Institute, the first Ivy League graduate program in spirituality and psychology. She recently published "The Awakened Brain: The New Science of Spirituality and Our Quest for an Inspired Life" which “takes the lens of science and focuses it on the impact of spirituality in human life.” Her research has been published in top-tier psychiatric journals, and she is the Editor of the "Oxford Handbook of Psychology and Spirituality," as well as the Founder of the American Psychological Association’s journal, Spirituality in Clinical Practice. After finishing her undergraduate work at Yale, she received her doctorate from the University of Pennsylvania.
A great talk. Dr. Lisa Miller’s The Awakened Brain is a profoundly insightful exploration of the vital connection between psychology and spirituality. As we face an era marked by increasing social disaffection, mental and emotional health challenges, polarization, and a pervasive distrust in institutions, her work serves as a beacon of hope.
Dr. Miller’s research underscores the transformative power of religiosity and spiritual transcendence in fostering resilience, meaning, and human flourishing. This groundbreaking contribution not only enriches the field of psychology but also reminds us of the enduring importance of nurturing our spiritual selves in navigating life’s complexities. A must-read for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the mind, heart, and soul.

This is absolutely fascinating! I love Lisa Miller and her work.
This was a beautiful presentation. Thank you!
I understand now my reservations for this. Not necessarily this womans presentation specifically but the whole restore symposium. This is progressivism.
Thank you so much your conversation is so helpful. Love the title of your presentation so relevant.
Very insightful
What happened 40 years ago that we threw religious and spiritual life out of the public square?
“Cast the net to the right side” 🤔 sounds familiar
Absolutely love “The Awakened Brain” and struggled with it at the same time. I love the basic message and could not agree more with the prescription that you offer for the crisis of meaning that plagues us. What I would love to hear more from you is an acknowledgment of a much broader definition of “spiritual” than you allow for. It feels like you often “tack on” other forms of spirituality, outside of a religious context, but your bias towards organized religion comes through pretty strongly. You lose a lot of us with your use of the word “God”, even though you often hint at an expanded definition (higher power, etc). For some of us atheist, materialist types, even that is a bridge too far. Spirituality is so much bigger than faith, religion, and concepts of god.
That's your experience. Let her have her experience. She's offering you that freedom. Offer the same to her. You don't need to copy her. She's giving you her study to do with it what you will.
