Physics of the Soul: The Quantum Book of Living, Dying, Reincarnation, and Immortality
by
Amit Goswami
At last, science and the soul shake hands. Writing in a style that is both lucid and charming, mischievous and profound, Dr. Amit Goswami uses the language and concepts of quantum physics to explore and scientifically prove metaphysical theories of reincarnation and immortality.

While reading Physics of the Soul by Amit Goswami, I was excited upon reading the optimism of theories such as reincarnation and immortality. I loved the clear connection of how physics plays into our everyday meaning of life and religion. But after I finished reading, I realized Goswami's attempts to give sound scientific reason to spiritual tradition were intriguing and yet lacked consistency and originality. He used broad and extensive language to describe metaphysical and quantum physical t...more
Like many others before him, Dr. Goswami attempts to use quantum physics to describe everything spiritual. Unfortunately he resorts to confusing language and overgeneralization with physics nomenclature that results in illogical conclusions. This book is just a restatement of much that has been written many times before. I can't believe that Chopra calls him "one of the most brilliant minds in the world of science." What does that say about Chopra...not much, unfortunately.
The book is physically wrong, logically inconsistent, spiritually poor. I am not a materialist. In fact, I believe in consistent forms of integration between authentic religion, good science and good philosophy. There is none of these things in the work of Amit Goswami. I do not doubt that your intentions are good, but I think he is deeply lost in his absurd speculation.

Amit Goswami is someone I really admire. I agree with many of the ideas he has proposed in his other works, and he is clearly a great physicist. He wrote this book because he felt he was meant to prove that the Tibetan book of the dead is true.
So... did he do it?
Not even close. But he did manage to convince me that he really-really-really believes all of these things.

I read this one section at a time. Took a while to digest many of the pieces of information. The re-write of the tibetan book of the dead is priceless. recommend getting the book for just that...
I think I know this guy. He at least knows Bob McGowan and he is familiar with the RCA. Anyway, he carries the ideas of the collapse of the quantum field as the foundation of the soul way into the realm of the Hindu mythology and AS SUCH it is an interesting read. Frankly he lost me after the Quantum Monad and I'm not sure I understand all of the nuances that he has posited.
The first third of the book was thick, and was able to keep up with the science and the spiritual speak - but intersecting the two was difficult. I skipped ahead and read a few pages here and there and decided to call it quits. This wasn't for me. Would much rather spend my time with another book.
A good case for reincarnation from a scientific/quantum physics point of view. This makes a good companion to the Tibetan Book of the Dead and a good follow up for fans of The Self-Aware Universe.
almost as good as "The Self-Aware Universe." Goswami is quantum, is science, is philosophy. His approach is universal, but beyond all that new wave garbage fads. READ THESE BOOKS.h
Excellent book. Anyone questioning life after death needs to read. Author does an excellent job of correlating all religious beliefs within his theory
This should be read first before reading the Tibetan Book of the Dead. Goswami is thorough and easily understood. A great book.

Amit Goswami is a nuclear physicist and member of The University of Oregon Institute for Theoretical Physics since 1968. Dr. Goswami is a revolutionary in a growing body of renegade scientists who in recent years have ventured into the domain of the spiritual in an attempt both to interpret the seemingly inexplicable findings of their experiments and to validate their intuitions about the existenc...more
