Spiritual Intelligence Takes Top Honors in Both Science & Spirituality Categories
The Californer/10337126

PETALUMA, Calif. - Californer -- an extraordinary achievement, Spiritual Intelligence: Activating the 4 Circuits of the Awakened Brain by Dawson Church, PhD won Gold in both Best Science Book and Best Spirituality Book at the 2025 Best Book Awards, organized by American Book Fest — recognition that underscores the book's rare synthesis of neuroscience and spiritual insight.

Rather than relegating spirituality to abstract thought, Church frames it as a neurological reality — a set of trainable capacities housed in what neuroscientists call the Enlightenment Network.

Through vivid storytelling and practical exercises, the book shows how people can activate these neural circuits to:

• Cultivate sustained joy, bliss, compassion, and inner peace
• Strengthen psychological resilience and emotional regulation
• Create meaningful purpose and connection in daily life

Based on an extensive review of scientific research and enriched with case studies from diverse traditions, Spiritual Intelligence invites readers to explore consciousness not as something "otherworldly," but as part of our biological heritage — accessible, measurable, and transformative.

Church's integrative approach resonates with a wide readership — including scientists, educators, spiritual practitioners, entrepreneurs, athletes, and anyone seeking a science-based path to inner growth. Practical tools presented in the book offer "first steps" into experiences of elevated awareness that historically were described only in religious or mystical contexts.

Readers and reviewers alike have noted the book's ability to make complex neuroscience approachable while offering tools that work in everyday life — turning curiosity about consciousness into tangible practices for wellbeing.
