A good book for someone who is looking for a synthesis of the history, ideas, and theories surrounding evolution and biology, including that of humans.

The physics is pretty deep..an overview of theoretical particle and classical physics which is not something you can just do in a few pages. The book is more physics heavy than it is with the Eastern mysticism overview. There are short chapters on Buddhism, Taoism, Hinduism for a discussion of their perspectives.

It felt like it kept plodding through the same territory in the physics realm sometimes - almost repeating material.

It's more of a direct comparison presentation. Here is physics - here eastern religion thought and where it intersects. I was expecting more conjecture/hypothesis/prophesying about what it all means but there's very little of that.

Some is spot-on, some is too speculative and shows a faulty understanding of physics.
