Anatomy of the Soul: Surprising Connections between Neuroscience and Spiritual Practices That Can Transform Your Life and Relationships

Scientific and spiritual keys to embarking on a truly abundant life.

Do you want to improve your relationships and experience lasting personal change? Join psychiatrist Curt Thompson, M.D., on an amazing journey to discover the surprising pathways for transformation hidden inside your own mind.

Integrating new findings in neuroscience and attachment with Christian spirituality, Dr. Thompson reveals how it is possible to rewire your mind, altering your brain patterns through a process known as neuroplasticity and literally making you more like the person God intended you to be. Explaining discoveries about neurology and the brain in layman’s terms, he shows how you can be mentally transformed through:

Spiritual practices and disciplines

Interaction with Scripture

Community and connections with other people

He also provides practical exercises to help you experience healing in areas where you’ve been struggling.

Insightful and challenging, Anatomy of the Soul illustrates how learning about one of God’s most miraculous creations―your brain―can enrich your life, your relationships, your faith, and your impact on the world around you.

Curt Thompson MD

Curt Thompson, M.D., is a psychiatrist in private practice in Falls Church, Virginia. He graduated from Wright State University School of Medicine and completed his psychiatric residency at Temple University Hospital. He is board certified by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology. His clinical focus has been the treatment of adults, adolescents, and families. He is actively engaged in learning and education as he supervises clinical employees and facilitates ongoing education groups for patients and colleagues. Throughout his career, his main focus of clinical and research interest has been the integration of psychiatry, its associated disciplines, and Christian spirituality. He is a frequent speaker on the topic at workshops, conferences, and retreats. For the past several years that interest has taken a more specific turn as he has gained expertise in the emerging field of interpersonal neurobiology. Thompson believes that the findings in interpersonal neurobiology reflect important tenets of Christian faith that enable us to reflect on, understand, and experience that same faith in fresh, trustworthy ways. He is now training other clinicians in the same material. He and his wife, Phyllis, are the parents of two adult children and reside in Arlington, Virginia.
