What people are saying about The Immortal Mind:

 

“This book blew me away. As I read it, I shared many of the stories with my wife. Why? While I have

studied the philosophy of mind since graduate school in the early 2000s, Dr. Egnor makes some

fresh insights because of his training and experience as a neurosurgeon. If you want to know if

there’s good evidence for the existence of the soul, The Immortal Mind is a must-read.”

Sean McDowell, PhD, professor of apologetics at Talbot School of Theology, author/editor of

more than 20 books, and a popular YouTuber

 

“Following the pioneering work of the late Wilder Penfield, neurosurgeon Michael Egnor and

science writer Denyse O’Leary revolutionize the study of the human mind as radically separate

from the brain. Materialism collapses in the face of their remorseless evidentiary assault on the

unclothed emperors of neuroscience.”

George Gilder, Senior Fellow of the Discovery Institute, New York Times bestselling author

 

“A fascinating and insightful examination of the scientific evidence for the continuity of consciousness

after the death of our body, because our mind transcends the brain.”

Pim van Lommel, cardiologist, author of Consciousness Beyond Life

 

“Courageous. Drawing from 40 years in neurosurgery, they argue that real people don’t fit into tidy

physicalist categories—they are far more complex than that. Egnor and O’Leary make the case for

the mind being more than simply the brain not by stepping outside of neuroscience, but by pointing

to evidence within it. They show that clinical neuroscience itself points to the reality that we are

so much more than just our brains. The Immortal Mind is an important and well-argued addition to

the conversation on mind, brain, and soul, and I highly recommend that you read it.”

Dr. Sharon Dirckx, PhD, speaker, broadcaster, and author of Am I Just My Brain?

 

“Dr Egnor speaks as a neurosurgeon who has performed over seven thousand brain operations, a

medical school professor who has taught medical students and aspiring neurosurgeons for forty years,

and as a diligent researcher who has applied the rigorous methods of science to discoveries about how

the brain works. In eloquent language, Michael Egnor and Denyse O’Leary present compelling scientific

evidence alongside extracts from 2,000 years of philosophy to give conclusive evidence that the

human soul is real and that human beings are not mere machines made of meat. This book is essential

reading for seekers of Truth who desire to know the real meaning of life.”

—Reverend Lee Kenyon, Parochial Administrator, St. John Henry Newman Catholic Church
