8In this autobiographical meditation a world-renowned physicist examines the hidden links between science and spirituality revealed by recent breakthroughs in quantum physics and cosmology. Reflecting on his own quest to find greater meaning in life by synthesizing his scientific training and his developing faith, he offers a blueprint for anyone seeking to reconcile science and religion in their own life. A technological discovery that led to LASIK surgery brought him great fame, fortune, and an extravagant lifestyle, but he yearned for spiritual fulfillment. Combining a detailed account of one man's journey from a lower caste home in India to an opulent Bel-Air mansion with a fascinating blend of cutting edge physics and eastern philosophy, this memoir weaves science and spirituality together to illuminate their common thread--a unified field of consciousness that underlies all of creation.
