Beskrivning

Spirituality for the Independent Thinker is a tough-minded but inspirational guide to the ways in which science, philosophy, and everyday experience converge into spiritual questions. It takes one of the greatest of all possible questions—why does anything exist instead of nothing—and draws from it a wide-awake spirituality that does not require meditation and does not lead to any bossy rules.

“A remarkable, beautiful, learned, and personal book that bears reading and re-reading. It starts with the question of why anything exists, and then explores the power of living in the ’now'." —Paul R. Fleischman, author of Wonder: When and Why the World Appears Radiant, Karma and Chaos, and other books
