Title: Good read
Product review: I am reading this book right now and am about half-way through.I like it. His (Buddhist) beliefs that there is "magic" in the world, that the world is not just "dead", made up of soulless creatures which are just assembles of atoms, are very nice.But he goes way too far in claiming that science supports (or is starting to support) many of his beliefs. He believes in precognition, "meaningful coincidence", the ability to transfer or project your feelings or energy, harmony among the organisms in the natural world, etc., things which are way too far from existing scientific consensus.So he paints a beautiful picture of how we humans could improve, become more aware of things around us, and have more empathy with each other, but it troubles me that he invokes speculative "scientific" statements to support his claims.
