« Brain Wars explains why the prevailing brain-mind paradigm is falling apart and why we are increasingly being forced to reconsider the nature of consciousness. The consequences of this paradigm shift are profound, and Mario Beauregard does a magnificent job in explaining why. »
— Dean Radin PhD Co-Editor-in-Chief, Explore, Senior Scientist Institute of Noetic Sciences

« Mario Beauregard shows convincingly that the materialistic philosophy of the 19th century is an impoverished framework incompatible with contemporary science, from physics to psychology. The concepts he develops in Brain Wars are required reading for scientific literacy in today's world. »
— Bruce Greyson, M.D. Research psychiatrist, University of Virginia

“Dr. Beauregard describes that our mind/consciousness has a fundamental and irreducible nature, and that it sometimes can be experienced independently from the body because it is not limited to our brain. Brain Wars clearly announces the end of physicalism, reductionism, materialism, and objectivism in science.”
— Pim van Lommel, cardiologist, author of Consciousness beyond Life

« The current assumption that the brain makes consciousness, like the liver makes bile, and that human consciousness is confined to the brain and body, can only be called neuromythology.  History will show that this belief was one of the great misguided concepts in human history, like the flat earth. This belief will not endure because it is unscientific and cannot account for how consciousness manifests in the world.  In this important book, Dr. Mario Beauregard shows why. »
— Larry Dossey, M.D. Author of Reinventing Medicine and The Power of Premonitions

“In this carefully researched, ground-breaking work, neuroscientist Mario Beauregard cites a wide range of scientific studies challenging many widely held materialistic assumptions about the relation between the mind and brain. In a triumph of empirical evidence over dogmatic allegiance to metaphysical beliefs, open-minded researchers cited in this book follow the true spirit of Galileo, heralding the first true revolution in the mind sciences.”
