Is The Soul Real? A Neurosurgeon Explores The Evidence

Does science prove the existence of the soul? Here award-winning neurosurgeon Michael Egnor explores the evidence.

Many scientists and doctors believe that there is no such thing as the soul. That there is no part of us that persists beyond death. We are not spiritual in any respect. We are made up of cells and tissue, and completely controlled by a material organ in our heads: the brain. In this groundbreaking book, Dr. Michael Egnor makes the case — based on 40 years of practice and over 7,000 brain surgeries — that science has gotten it all wrong.

Dr. Egnor is author with science writer Denyse O’Leary of the forthcoming book The Immortal Mind: A Neurosurgeon’s Case for the Existence of the Soul (Worthy Books, June 2025). Right now if you pre-order the book you can also get a free download of the anthology Minding The Brain with 25 chapters from 23 authors exploring the mind-body problem from various perspectives, integrating insights from philosophy, neuroscience, psychology, and quantum theory.
