Highlights the life stories of Paramhansa Yogananda Ji. I see in here a blend of our upanishdic philosophy and the modern science trying to expound the idea that revered Indian scriptures might be highlighting the same mystical aspects of nature and life as is being discovered in the current quantum physical phenomena.  

Explores human behavior and goes deep into the complex interplay of genetics, environment, and culture and how these together govern our behavioural response from seconds to years. It also highlights the evolution of human behaviour from viewpoint of neuroscience, psychology and antropology making the book attractive for broader audience. 

Professor Lipton says it is not only our genes that control our biology but the way we perceive, interpret, believe and respond to our external environment. Basing his conclusions on quantum physics and epigenetics, he says that the collective beliefs and perceptions of humanity instead of our genes control our biology and shape our reality. 

In this book David Eagleman actually destroys the definition of existence that we generally think about ourselves. Being a neuroscientist himself he uncovers the evolution and working of our brain that leads to our thoughts, emotions, actions, memory and habits etc. In essence, it creates a new horizon for us to explore and find why we are the way we are.
