Rating: Summary: Read by one with no interest in Buddhism Review: This book started very disappointingly, with what I felt was a lot of leading the reader to conclusions. However, the authors seemed to abandon that tendency after the first few chapters. Certainly, there is a lot of text that reads like a sales brochure for Buddhism. There are a number of areas where they run off on tangents about loving your fellow man and achieving enlightenment and nirvana. Ignoring all that, there are many really thought-provoking and interesting discussions within, on the nature of the universe and our place in it. These authors get much more philosophical than the typical science text would, and that presents a much different perspective that's worthwhile.
