HOW GOD WORKS: THE SCIENCE BEHIND THE BENEFITS OF RELIGION.

Psychologist David DeSteno’s latest book "How God Works" reveals some fascinating findings. Science shows that by taking part in certain religious practices and rituals, regardless of faith – or lack thereof – we improve our emotional and physical wellbeing.
At a time when people are desperately searching for purpose and meaning, this discussion promises to be a stimulating and worthwhile event. Signed copies of the book will be available at Brookline Booksmith. Remember to support your independent bookstore!
