Brain Wars
Autor Mario Beauregarden Limba Engleză Paperback – 15 ian 2020
Following his boundary-breaking neuroscience book The Spiritual Brain: A Neuroscientist’s Case for the Existence of the Soul, coauthored with Denyse O’Leary, Brain Wars makes a powerful and provocative case against the widely held view equating human beings to complex biological computers.
Like Jeffrey M. Schwartz, Beauregard believes that consciousness is more than simply a physical process that takes place in the brain. And here, he presents the evidence to prove it. Brain Wars will revolutionize the way we think about thinking forever.

A Neuroscientist Offers Evidence of Where the Brain Ends and Consciousness Begins
Recenzii
“Brain Wars explains why the prevailing brain-mind paradigm is falling apart and why we are increasingly being forced to reconsider the nature of consciousness. The consequences of this paradigm shift are profound, and Mario Beauregard does a magnificent job in explaining why.” — Dean Radin PhD Co-Editor-in-Chief, Explore: The Journal of Science and Healing Senior Scientist Institute of Noetic Sciences
“Mario Beauregard shows convincingly that the materialistic philosophy of the 19th century is an impoverished framework incompatible with contemporary science, from physics to psychology. The concepts he develops in Brain Wars are required reading for scientific literacy in today’s world.” — Bruce Greyson, M.D. Research psychiatrist, University of Virginia. Co-author of Irreducible Mind
“In this ground-breaking work, neuroscientist Mario Beauregard cites a range of scientific studies challenging many widely held materialistic assumptions about the relation between the mind and brain.” — B. Alan Wallace, Ph.D. President, Santa Barbara Institute for Consciousness Studies
“The assumption that the brain makes consciousness, like the liver makes bile, and that human consciousness is confined to the brain and body, will not endure because it is unscientific, and cannot account for how consciousness manifests in the world. In this important book, Dr. Mario Beauregard shows why.” — Larry Dossey, MD Author of Reinventing Medicine and The Power of Premonitions
“Dr. Beauregard describes that our mind/consciousness has a fundamental and irreducible nature, and that it sometimes can be experienced independently from the body because it is not limited to our brain. Brain Wars clearly announces the end of physicalism, reductionism, materialism and objectivism in science.” — Pim van Lommel, cardiologist, author of Consciousness beyond Life
Provocative and accessible, this book is ultimately less about hard science and more about the mind-body problem and philosophy of materialistic science. — Library Journal

Notă biografică
Dr. Mario Beauregard, Ph.D., is a Canadian neuroscientist and author, originally from Quebec, internationally recognized for his work exploring the interplay between the brain, consciousness, spiritual experience, and the nature of reality. Trained at the University of Montreal, he also conducted research at the University of Texas (in Houston) and at the University of Arizona (in Tucson). Throughout his career, he has sought to move beyond the limits of conventional science in order to better understand the full spectrum of human experience, including expanded and transformative states of consciousness.His early scientific research focused on the neural mechanisms underlying emotion regulation. This line of inquiry gradually led him into a more adventurous field: the neurobiology of mystical and transcendent states. One of his most noted contributions is a neuroimaging study conducted with Carmelite nuns experiencing a mystical union with God. It represents one of the first rigorous neuroscientific investigations into the brain signatures of profound spiritual experience.Recognized as one of the "One Hundred Pioneers of the 21st Century" by World Media Net and USA Book News, Dr. Beauregard has also received several scientific distinctions throughout his career. His expertise has earned him invitations to major international venues, including an address at the United Nations in New York in 2007 and a public dialogue with the Dalai Lama in Melbourne, Australia, in 2013 on the emergence of a new science of consciousness.Considered a leading figure in the movement for post-materialist science, he is a co-author of the Manifesto for a Post-Materialist Science, a document that has brought together an international community of researchers and thinkers committed to a more open and integrative scientific worldview. This perspective views consciousness not as a mere byproduct of the brain but as a fundamental dimension of reality.Dr. Beauregard is the author of several influential books, including The Spiritual Brain, Brain Wars, and Expanding Reality. His work on expanded states of consciousness and transcendent experiences has been widely featured in scientific journals, international media such as Time, Newsweek, and The Huffington Post, as well as in numerous documentaries and conferences around the world.Through his research, writing, and public engagements, he invites audiences to revisit some of the oldest and most fundamental questions of human existence: What is consciousness? What is the nature of reality? How far does the potential of the human mind truly extend?He is also the creator of the psychospiritual approach known as Holosynthesis(c), designed to help individuals realize the Great Self by integrating and harmonizing the various dimensions of human experience. This approach, like his scientific work, reflects a unified and deeply humanistic vision of the evolution of consciousness.In 2025, Dr. Beauregard founded the Institut Mario Beauregard (IMB) in Switzerland. The mission of the IMB is to support the emergence of an expanded consciousness by offering tools that enhance well-being, optimize mental capacities, and open access to deeper layers of the self.His forthcoming book, Awakening the Human Robot: Dismantling the Empire of Fear, Belief, and Control, is a powerful, rebellious, and truly revolutionary work. Bringing together themes he has explored for decades, it offers a penetrating critique of the psychological, social, and cultural forces that shape human perception. The book also provides a clear path toward reclaiming mastery of one's mind and rediscovering genuine inner freedom.
