This book is an excellent synthesis of ancient Buddhist principles and modern scientific cosmology.
The opening chapters appeal to the scientist in each of us and invite the reader to look at the profound questions of our place in the Universe as posed by leading scientists from Einstein to Neil deGrasse Tyson. We learn that the experience of “enlightenment” may not only be scientifically valid but perhaps more common than we suppose.
We learn that the “ three principles of oneness” are in fact Buddhism’s defining Three Marks of Existence”. But for those of us who have struggled with the concepts of Dukkah, Impermanence and worst of all No Self ( WTF?), the author explains these concepts in a way accessible to the modern Western reader while fully respecting the ancient texts. Universal suffering begets Compassion, impermanence births Creativity and our fear of separation ( original sin?) turns out to be the pathway to the indisputable recognition that we are all in fact related( no surprise to those working on the Human Genome).
I wish the book were longer. The author hints of spiritual connections yet to be discovered regarding quantum entanglement, decoherence etc which will entice those with a scientific bent . But as the author makes clear in the latter part of the book wherein he answers a series of questions, the book is really about relieving suffering in the here and now. Removing the arrow.......

I am new to meditation and have been looking to understand why it is so effective and the culture behind it. His book explains that meditation grounds you and allows the individual to explore from this grounded state in order to explore emotions and situations from a state that won't lead to a negative reaction.
Mr. Stultz does a fantastic job of explaining what he calls the "cosmic perspective" and relating it to identifiable public figures and explaining their moments of truth. After reading about the cosmic perspective, I have a much better understanding and respect of our place in the universe.
A book and perspective like this is a great way to show that there is a way to meld spirituality and science in today's technology driven world. His real world application at the end of the book by answering questions is so helpful. He is able to apply his philosophy to pretty much anyone's situation.
I would recommend this book to anyone. Not only does it provide an interesting way to look at yourself and the world, but it provides a new way to look at problem-solving.

When I saw the title, thought I was going to read about the 3 Principles developed by Sid Banks (Look it up if you're not familiar -- It's brilliant). But this book is not related.
Kudos to the author for taking on these deep Buddhist topics and connecting some science with them. I liked this for the most part, and learned (or was reminded) of some helpful ideas. I first 25% was somewhat interesting but not very helpful for understanding the rest of the book. I've read other books on Buddism and didn't connect with this one as much some others. There's huge chunk devoted to questions/letters that the author answers, which cover a large range of topics. The author is obviously brilliant, and at times left me wanting more. I may check out his other work. 3.5 stars.
I really appreciate the advanced copy for review!!

I have never been one interested in spirituality or meditation but I was intrigued to read this book when I heard Nana Visitor ( who payed Kira on Star Trek Deep space Nine) wrote the introduction. I found this book had a scientific approach towards ancient Buddhist spiritual principles and it definitely gave me food for thought. I would recommend this book to anyone interested in spirituality and being more mindful. The author has a good way of explaining concepts and making it applicable. Thanks to Netgally and the publisher for an ARC in exchange for an unbiased review.
