Blending Eastern and Western philosophies with insights into nature, ecology, and physiology, this exploration of the place of humankind within the universe, and our individual stations, is both intellectual and approachable.

Thinkers, writers, scientists, and educators of all stripes come together to examine subjects ranging from the nature of reality to brain science to the impact of technology on our world views, and more.

They reveal that “the universe” may actually be comprised of multiple “universes” that overlap like the skin of an onion; peel away one layer of reality, and there’s others waiting to be experienced, if not completely understood.

The book presents intriguing ideas from visionaries ranging from Jesus to Galileo, Newton to Descartes, and Kant to Einstein, among many others.

Customer Reviews

An amazing book! by Jan Wheeler (Texas)

Customers Rating: ★★★★★ 

“Amy Corzine’s The Secret Life of the Universe is an amazing accomplishment (with extensive bibliography), connecting the human experience with the universe as a whole, especially that part of it which touches us… including, and perhaps most especially that which lies beyond our typical sensory perceptions… to compare the similarities of a more time-tested spiritual (across all mystical and religious spectra) view with a more recent scientific one. In doing so, she captures a common sense of universality in all things, with various perspectives merging beautifully to show a most magical world /universe in both simple and complex terms, and offers a clear and useful view of how we as humans can make the most of our place in this wondrous world and the universe beyond and around us. Very empowering and comprehensive! An easy must-read for anyone interested in the inner workings of life on earth.”

A rough guide to the universe by R. Wynne-simmons (London, England)

Customers Rating: ★★★★★ 

“As if to illustrate her main point, the interconnectedness of all things, Amy Corzine moves in great leaps and bounds across the interface between the science of the material universe, and the science of the soul. Taking her lead from writers such as Fritjof Capra, she creates a guide to the new ways of seeing the world that are current amongst thinkers at the present time, all those many concepts of which we have heard, or of which we are just faintly aware. A book about ideas might become abstract and hard to read, but Amy recognises that we think with our emotions and all our being, and so each idea is told succinctly, and connected with a personality or anecdote that holds it in the memory. Her wonderfully eclectic mind keeps us guessing where she will take us next, but wherever she goes, she comes across with a real heartfelt passion for her subject.”

The Secret Life of the Universe: The Quest for the Soul of Science by Michael H. Bland (UK)

Customers Rating: ★★★★★ 

“A truly Herculean effort to “pull it all together.”Very timely with all the recent fuss about the Large Hadron Collider and an increasing need and desire for people to understand the connectivity between mind and matter.”
