Another Gem

Along with "From Science To God" Mr Russell establishes himself as one of the masters of spiritual reawakening. Although this piece has more doomsday in it than his later work, it has the same hopeful message and the same readability. In both books Mr Russell never seems to lose the reader in scientific mumbo jumbo, even when discussing very complicated subjects. That isn't a statement on his intelligence or research, but rather on his ability to communicate on all levels. Neither does he offend when he deals with the spiritual aspects of his writings. In short everyone can sit around his table (well, almost everyone). Read'em twice.

PARADIGM-SHIFITING/LIFE-CHANGING EXPERIENCE!

I love this book so much that I have already bought 3 and still planning to buy more to give out to my friends. This book combines science and spirituality so beautifully. What he describes in this book make logical sense. I have never been a believer of "God" in a form of superior being. And I have never been comfortable with organized religion. This book really confirmed and went further into the world of "consciousness." HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

A rare masterpiece

This book is one of those rare books that stays with me long after I've read it. I find myself frequently referring to it in conversations about how fast things seem to be changing these days. I was moved by the wisdom I gleaned in these melodic passages -- and impressed at how Russell can convey such intense feeling and truth in so few words. Difficult and challenging issues are presented and discussed with clarity that provides just the right amount of tension, just as the most beautiful music creates moments of stress which are then relieved with passages of exceptional grace. Rare is the book that can aim to briefly summarize such topics as Materialism, Fear, Stress, Enlightenment, Meditation and Love... and succeed to touch one's heart, mind and soul so completely without ever hitting a sour note. I give this masterpiece of a book my highest recommendation for anyone interested in discovering what they can do to make their life (and life for all of us) the very best it can be.

Unfolding Possibilities for Humankind

In his latest book, Peter Russell again lights the way for his readers to envision the "big picture" and the part we all play in our own, and in a global evolution. He looks at societal transformation, at the covergence of knowledge from various, even seemingly unrelated disciplines such as physics, theology, business, biology, cosmolgy and systems theory, and the notion that just as we reach "critical mass" in, let's say the world of consumerism, the same occurs with human belief systems __and this emerging consciousness can change the way society views its own capability and destiny.We are all looking to inspire greatness __in our organizations, communities, families __and in our own lives. Russell shares *information* and the wisdom gleaned from a path he has walked with integrity to help his readers discover breakthrough opportunities. jn

An easy read on a complex subject, thoughtfully delivered.

Straight off: This is a great book! Mr. Russell writes intelligently and intelligably about where we've been, where we're probably headed and gives us some optimistic views on where some of the choices might lead us, if "we" are thoughtful about "our" choices. This book presents some incredibly complex themes, and even delivers physics, understandably! The hallmark of any great writer, in my view, is to make himself or herself understood to the vast majority of people. Mr. Russell has accomplished that quite admirably. This is the best book on futuristic thinking I've ever read. Reading this book felt like having a conversation with this writer. A pure pleasure! And, a must read for any thoughtful person.
