Dr Miller: The awakened brain has stories of many people who have gone from despair and struggle to spiritual awakening. And the stories in the awakened brain, they're supported by science, but the stories really speak to our journey. I'd like to thank you for the work you've done with the US Army,. which is how I came into contact with you and received a copy of your book. So thank you very much, Dr Miller.
