253. Why spirituality is essential for our mental health ft. Dr Lisa Miller

253. Why spirituality is essential for our mental health ft. Dr Lisa Miller

For our very first guest of the holiday season, I invited on Dr Lisa Miller - a professor at Columbia University, author, clinical psychologist and researcher to discuss her profound work on the intersection between spirituality and mental health.

Our spiritual health is often the dimension of wellbeing we neglect the most, but in this episode we uncover why having a strong belief system, sense of purpose, oneness and path is invaluable, especially in our 20s. This includes:

  • The distinction between religion and spirituality
  • What brain scans say about the importance of a higher power or meaning
  • 3 practices to improve your spiritual core
  • Why your spiritual core is so essential in your 20s
  • Why we resist spirituality and how this harms us

Dr Lisa was an incredible and inspiring guest, her book is called The Awakened Brain.
