Science, Being, & Becoming
The Spiritual Lives of Scientists
(Book Excerpt)
Science, Being, & Becoming is the 2023 Gold Nautilus Award for Science & Cosmology.
“This book is a rare and engaging account of the spiritual transformation of the scientific mind, writ large on the one hand but also very much from the inside as well, from the “horse’s mouths” of the author and his interviewees and commentators as well. They point the way to a tremendously expanded and bright potential future for science as it begins to embrace spirituality and consciousness. As Deepak Chopra says in his introduction, “rationality is not the enemy of awakening”
