Have you ever felt that you are more than just a genetically programmed machine running in a meaningless universe? That your feelings, thoughts, and intentions may extend beyond the material domain? That compassion, connection, and other subjective phenomena can directly affect the world? The word noetic describes a perspective that embraces both scientific and personal discovery.
For decades,the Institute of Noetic Sciences (IONS) has supported researchers who have been building a compelling body of evidence for this inspiring view of ourselves and the cosmos - and how to experience it ourselves. Skeptical? Living the Noetic Life encourages us to hear the evidence, engage with many illuminating practices, and decide for ourselves - with this first-person investigation into our untapped human potential and the vast terrain of uncharted wonder that awaits us.
