Critic reviews

"This is a tremendous book for the committed Christian seeker." ( Publishers Weekly)

life changing!

I really loved this book. I found it really helpful and transformational. it took me a while to finish because it requires a lot of internal work, but I repulses highly recommend it.

Hope is possible and achievable

The narration of the story was captivating. Enjoyed the reading so much, it’s pushed me dive deeper into relationships and the gospel of God.

Life-changing

Fascinating and eye-opening, this book gives so much insight into who we are and how we relate to ourselves, to others and to God. It also reveals how God relates to us. Truly had so many "ah ha" moments of revelation.

The combining of brain and spirit

So many amazing truths and realizations happening while I read. I have been on a journey of brain healing and understanding as well as how my relationship with Jesus is changing as I heal. Amazing connections at just the right time. Thank you for helping to make the connection between his design and his heart.

Very interesting and informative.

There is alot of good information and the book is narrated in a way to keep you listening.

Excellent book.

The narration was wonderful. I will definitely also be buying the print version so I can delve more deeply into the concepts.

Phenominal insight!

although it's definitely a heavy book to read, the audiobook format makes it a whole lot easier to understand. the author laces in enough story and illustration so that it is a science book that the regular brain can comprehend and follow. Very well done.

Integrated faith in practice

This was an excellent book recommended by a therapist of mine. It does a great job of integrating, my Christian faith and my love of science and growth in mental health choices.
I’ve listen to it once now. I look forward to getting the Kindle version for ongoing influence in my life. Thank you.

Excellent comprehensive overview

If you could sum up Anatomy of the Soul in three words, what would they be?

This book Unites many aspects of life from faith and sirituality to neuroscience I never ever thought I would see this done...ever. And it is perfect,...could not be better.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Anatomy of the Soul?

Unification of psychology especially Dr Daniel Seigle whose books on mindfulness are well embraced by many communities. To see this incorporated in a faith based book gives me true hope for the needed synthesis between science and our spiritual life as a christian
Bravo!

What about Sean Pratt’s performance did you like?

I love Sean Pratt's work I feel like he is an old friend ,,,and was convinced to buy this book because he narrated it.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

The entire book is truly noteworthy.

Any additional comments?

This is a unique book. A sign that there is hope that brain science and one's faith and spiritual life are one unity.

Life changing

This book was revolutionary in helping me understand how trauma has harmed my brain and how I'm not doomed to a state of harm in perpetua. So much of it was familiar knowledge from years of having counseling. But the way he explained things just helped a lot of things click. Thank you Curt Thompson!
