Summary

"Science does not need mysticism and mysticism does not need science; but man needs them both." These are the words of Fritjof Capra, a theoretical physicist, systems theorist, writer, and lecturer. In this program, Capra uses non-technical language, with no complex mathematics of formulae, to explore the main concepts and theories of modern physics, the revelations coming from particle accelerators and laboratories - and compares them with the ancient tenets of Hinduism, Buddhism, and Taoism. In the process, the listener gains a clear and fascinating picture of how such seemingly disparate areas of thought are ultimately quests for the same kind of understanding.

Harmony

Love it. A book that shows a path especially in the aftermath of the Covid-19 pandemic. the reader makes it come alive with clear enunciation and I enjoyed it thoroughly. Highly recommended.

A good listen

It was clearly spoken. Easy enough to understand for the non physicist, and not long. I feel educated by the experience.

Great content robotic voice

The information is very powerful and transformational.

A truly must read / listen

The narrator just makes it a really hard listen. Lack of flow and makes it sound like a radio advert

great listen.

there is so much common between Morden physics and eastern religions/teachings. the author has should knowledge of both worlds and is able to draw a rationale picture connecting the dots and in the process helping people understand.

Couldn’t listen to it. Awful narration and production

I’m going to have to return this. The narration is like something out of a dystopian film. Weird, monotonous and as if it’s “far away” somehow. Very odd

High faluting - not enough examples.

The audio production sounds overdriven. The reader performs it well and it's eloquently phrased but there's not enough meat.
