Featured must-have books

Of the many books I have read, The Biology of Belief was one of the most enlightening and inspirational to me as a scientifically-minded, yet spiritual being.  Dr. Lipton's eloquent and rational thesis was in some ways confirmatory, but in other ways transformational to my way of looking at the body-mind-spirit connection, the metaphysical underpinnings of the physical realm, and the creative ability we have to shape our reality and improve the quality of our existence through harnessing our inner selves to reach our maximum potential.  

As Dr. Lipton explains, the key to mind-body-spirit balance is to first recognize that we are spirit beings, which exist outside of the physical temporal realm. He goes on to emphasize that as spirits, we are eternal conscious entities, temporarily housed in physical bodies. He challenges modern neuroscience's biological explanation of the physical brain being the source of consciousness.  Instead, he proposes a theory that our brains are like computers, which simply receive and process information, which originates from a metaphysical mind or information cloud that is external to our physical beings.  Once we understand this, we recognize that our cells exist to receive, transport, and perpetuate the data repositories that we download from our external environment.  With this profound realization in mind, we can then conclude that it is in our best interest and even our moral imperative to focus our energies on  intentional conss awareness and the cultivation of our inner metaphysical selves from which grows our mental and physical existence and sense of holistic wellbeing.  

In essence, we learn that we can control our physical bodies down to the cellular level and that our conscious reality is shaped by our level of body-mind-spirit connectivity. Body follows mind and mind follows spirit.  Our biology is influenced by our beliefs or faith, which grow out of our spiritual practice and ultimately determines our destiny and quality of life. 

You Are the Universe 

A New York Times Bestseller 

 • Deepak Chopra joins forces with leading physicist Menas Kafatos to explore some of the most important and baffling questions about our place in the world. 

"A riveting and absolutely fascinating adventure that will blow your mind wide open!" —Dr. Rudolph E. Tanzi

What happens when modern science reaches a crucial turning point that challenges everything we know about reality? In this brilliant, timely, and practical work, Chopra and Kafatos tell us that we've reached just such a point. In the coming era, the universe will be completely redefined as a "human universe" radically unlike the cold, empty void where human life is barely a speck in the cosmos.
 

You Are the Universe literally means what it says--each of us is a co-creator of reality extending to the vastest reaches of time and space. This seemingly impossible proposition follows from the current state of science, where outside the public eye, some key mysteries cannot be solved, even though they are the very issues that define reality itself:
 

• What Came Before the Big Bang?
• Why Does the Universe Fit Together So Perfectly?
• Where Did Time Come From?
• What Is the Universe Made Of?
• Is the Quantum World Linked to Everyday Life?
• Do We Live in a Conscious Universe?
• How Did Life First Begin?
 

“The shift into a new paradigm is happening,” the authors write. “The answers offered in this book are not our invention or eccentric flights of fancy. All of us live in a participatory universe. Once you decide that you want to participate fully with mind, body, and soul, the paradigm shift becomes personal. The reality you inhabit will be yours either to embrace or to change.” What these two great minds offer is a bold, new understanding of who we are and how we can transform the world for the better while reaching our greatest potential.
