content: I bought this book with high hopes. I am fascinated both with science (especially neuroscience) and with spirituality (especially Eastern). This book promised to bring togetehr these two subjects in a novel concordance.Sadly, it doesn't. What we get is a mismash of facts, theory, anecdote, and tradition that has neither the logic of good science nor the passion of moving spirituality. It was almost enough to stop me from taking my Yoga classes at the YMCA. Of the recent spate of science and religion books, this is the worst.
