Can your thoughts heal another person, even from across the globe? Does meditation create "superhuman" levels of perception? Can prayer and intention actually affect reality?

A few decades ago, scientists would have dismissed such ideas as superstition. Today, a growing body of persuasive research has turned many skeptics into believers when it comes to the power of spirituality. Measuring the Immeasurable brings together some of the most prominent authorities on the new frontier where science and spirit intersect, including:

Bruce H. Lipton (The Biology of Belief) on the science of epigenetics, and how consciousness shapes our health, genetics, and evolution
• Lynne McTaggart (The Field) with the latest findings on the power of mind over matter from her ongoing "Intention Experiment"
• Gregg Braden (The Divine Matrix and The God Code) on how how prayer and intention can affect events on a global scale
• Gary Small (The Longevity Bible) on lifestyle changes that improve brain function
• Daniel Goleman (Social Intelligence) on the "brain’s melody" and our moment-to-moment perceptions
• Candace Pert (Molecules of Emotion) on the intimate relationship between mind and body
• Thought-provoking articles from other modern luminaries, including Peter Russell, Larry Dossey, Andrew Newberg, Dean Radin, Suzanne C. Segerstrom, Jeanne Achterberg, Marilyn Schlitz, Peter Levine, and more


As we use the methods of science to examine spiritual practices such as meditation, yoga, and energy healing, not only do we see evidence for the tangible benefits of these "technologies of the mind," but we are also beginning to illuminate the missing links in our understanding of evolution, physics, and our role in the universe.

Filled with leading-edge research, startling discoveries, and the breakthrough ideas of some of today’s most innovative thinkers, Measuring the Immeasurable is an invaluable resource for exploring the mysteries of the quantum age―and what this new science will mean for your life.

    This is a book that presents a wide variety of research on many topics related to spirituality, consciousness, and the mind-body connection. My only caveat, is to read with a critical eye. The quality of the research presented in this book varies considerably. For instance, Greg Braaden's research has been widely criticized for very good reason (see: God Code criticisms). It's an interesting read, but remember to do independent follow up research before swallowing anything you read.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Not All Scientific
    Reviewed in the United States on January 27, 2010
    Verified Purchase
    The book addresses the ideas of a "spiritual" subculture and it uses data developed in relatively small samples to make, in some cases, arguments that are hard to accept. The "inner universe" of the human brain is indeed mysterious, and our very existence, by definition, resides only therein. Thus, for the most part, the conclusions require a measure of acceptance/faith not entirely supported by objective reasoning. On the other hand, the book offers opportunities for self improvement if some of the ideas are used wisely. In a nutshell, it's not voodoo, nor is it rocket science.

    4.0 out of 5 stars A Round Table Discussion of the Last Frontier
    Reviewed in the United States on December 14, 2009
    Make no mistake, the depths of the oceans nor the farthest reaches of the universe, are not and never were the final frontier. The ultimate journey into uncharted territory is a trek into inner space. "Measuring the Immeasurable" is a compendium style work that serves like a round table discussion with a host of today's most prominent internauts (my new word that means: those whom travel inside consciousness.) As I have mentioned in other reviews, I'm not a big fan of collected essay style works, but this is one of the very few that I picked up and couldn't put down. Some chapters dealt heavily with a more narrative focus on the prospects of consciousness, remote healing, intercessional prayer/meditation; while others were laden with more rigorous scientific, neurophysiologic and ancillary statistical data, which in my opinion may leave many lay readers a bit nonplussed.

    Not that it matters too much, but I can't help but wonder whom the target audience for this work was supposed to be, in that it seems to suffer from a mild Jekyll and Hyde personality. This book is perhaps too rich in scientific language for the average lay reader and too lean for the advanced scientist, although for me it struck a distinctly happy medium. As I suspect with many books of this ilk, very broad swaths are painted but are not particularly deep, nor are they meant to be. All things being equal - a fine read: 4 stars on the board with a real 3 and ½ from me today.

    Editorial comment: I think that consciousness study is a very worthwhile endeavor, but I truly do not understand how measuring the effects of consciousness will help us to comprehend consciousness itself. After all, consciousness is not tangible, one cannot employ the use of EEG's, GSR recorders, compasses, protractors and slide rules and proclaim - "there it is, there is consciousness!" A paradigm shift with respect to scientific observation is in order.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Coverage of Spirituality and Science
    Reviewed in the United States on January 6, 2010
    This book provides an excellent introduction to a broad range of scientific studies and on-going research efforts exploring spirituality. Science has not yet provided a complete testable model of a `spiritual universe'. However, this book does forge new ground in summarizing scientific evidence on the value of certain practices with spiritual / religious connections: prayer, meditation, compassion, and transformational practices. In addition, it also presents some very thought-provoking studies, for example on 'distant healing' and 'low-energy neurofeedback', that really challenge our conventional understanding of the mind and reality. This book does introduce some concepts in modern science such as quantum entanglement that may provide a scientific basis for `distant healing'. (Now, does 'quantum entanglement' between people in close relationships really occur and is this phenomena equivalent to religious perspectives on `spirit' and 'boundless love' that ties us together under `god'? Clearly, more work is needed.)

    What I really appreciated most in the book was that it brought a breadth of insightful authors together in one place. I've been interested in a number of them, and this book provides a concise introduction to many of their works. Not to mention, with the extensive bibliography / notes section, it's a great starting place for further study. For further reading, I also recommend Dean Radin's two books " The Conscious Universe" and "Entangled Minds".

    Note, this book does not address topics that typically have more obvious spiritual connotations. For example, out-of-body experiences (OBEs) were not addressed in this book. (For solid works investigating OBEs, the books of Robert Monroe are recommended for starters.)

    Lastly, after reading this book and appreciating its depth and quality, I am somewhat surprised this book has not been more widely appreciated. For some reason, books rehashing the long debate on evolution sell better and populate the annual `best of' science book lists. I only wish more people could discover a book like this that really breaks new ground for both individuals who practice the scientific method and people of faith.
