Fasting: An Exceptional Human Experience

Fasting: An Exceptional Human Experience covers virtually every aspect of fasting. Since prehistory, fasting has been used in various ways as a means of transformation. As a spiritual practice, it is in almost every religion and spiritual tradition.

In psychology, studies have suggested that fasting help psychiatric disorders, and in medicine, fasting is one of the most promising therapies.

Using existing literature and original research, Dr. Fredricks focuses on the transformative characteristics of fasting in the contexts of psychology, medicine, and spirituality. The relationship between fasting and transpersonal psychology is examined, with a focus on peak experiences, self-realization, and other exceptional human experiences.
