“An insightful exploration of the powerful capacities of the mind-body connection, and its inherent link with perception.” Andrew Weil, M.D., author of Spontaneous Healing and Natural Health, Natural Medicine

“The Spiritual Anatomy of Emotion is truly connective, bridging the disciplines of biology, neurology, immunology, psychology, and spirituality. This is a book for the 21st century that will open and enlarge our minds, hearts, and spirits.”

Miriam Greenspan, author of Healing Through the Dark Emotions

“The Spiritual Anatomy of Emotion is brilliant . . . comprehensive . . . holistic.”

Stanley Krippner, Ph.D., editor of Advances in Parapsychological Research and coeditor of The Varieties of Anomalous Experience

“The Spiritual Anatomy of Emotion is a landmark book that presents a picture of consciousness that is far more majestic than anything conceived in conventional neuroscience. Based in solid science, this bold effort will challenge anyone who reads it with an open mind. Highly recommended.”

Larry Dossey, M.D., author of Recovering the Soul and Reinventing Medicine

“Jawer and Micozzi articulate one of the most profound understandings of consciousness since Descartes. The book brings Antonio Damasio’s ‘feeling brain’ into full embodiment. It is a monumental contribution to understanding ourselves as human beings.”

Allan Combs, Ph.D., author of The Radiance of Being

“The Spiritual Anatomy of Emotion presents a unique and arresting view of such topics as mind, body, memory, illness, perception, and emotion. The authors show us an altogether novel way of understanding who we are and what we’re about. There’s more to being human than we ever imagined, and this book is an excellent roadmap for anyone who wants to take that journey.”

Eric Leskowitz, M.D., department of psychiatry, Harvard Medical School

“Jawer and Micozzi have collected a unique body of data on environmental sensitivity, which has great relevance to human health and psychology. They put together this data with original ideas on emotion very persuasively in The Spiritual Anatomy of Emotion. I highly recommend this well-written and accessible book.”

Ernest Hartmann, M.D., author of Dreams and Nightmares and Boundaries in the Mind, professor of psychiatry at Tufts University School of Medicine, and past president of the Association for the Study of Dreams


“I agree completely with the thesis in The Spiritual Anatomy of Emotion from what I have observed in the many case reports we receive from the general public; from a monthly paranormal experience group at our center; and from my experience as a clinical psychologist.”

Sally Feather, Ph.D., director of research, Rhine Research Center
