God is in The Neurons

‘God is in The Neurons’ documents the research that has been the reason why Chiren Boumaaza, aka ‘Athene’, disappeared from his usual viral YouTube series for the past year. Known mainly for his record-setting World of Warcraft and online poker stunts and his extravagant character in his videos, Boumaaza had long been seen as a genius by some, a ‘troll’ by many and an incredibly capable gamer and entertainer by most.

Developments in neuroscience and sociology from the past decades have shed light on many aspects of human psychology that are only now beginning to be discussed in the fields of ‘self-help’ and self-development. While there is a lot of popular literature on the subject from authors that range from popular lifecoaches such as Tony Robbins to spiritual teachers like Eckhart Tolle, Chiren saw a huge lack of material that takes a purely scientific approach. ‘God is in The Neurons’ makes important correlations about mirror neurons, neuroplasticity, memory, social dynamics, evolution, altruism and identity.
