About this audiobook

2023 Winner of the Gold Nautilus Book Award! Spirituality is the Final Frontier for Science Contrary to popular belief, not all scientists are materialists fervently discounting the spiritual. Science, Being, & Becoming shares interviews with some of the world's foremost scientists who recount their own transpersonal, metaphysical, and mystical experiences and how those experiences transformed them and their scientific work. This groundbreaking book makes it evident that the long-standing divide between science and spirituality has not served us well and in fact continues to have significant adverse consequences for us all. Fortunately, many scientists no longer recognize that divide and are helping science to now fulfill its intended promise to discover and understand all of life, including our deep spiritual nature. The stories in this book help us understand that the spiritual is the final frontier for science. The book also contains special bonus Spotlight sections written by Drs. Eben Alexander, Robert Atkinson, Dusana Dorjee, and Kyriacos C. Markides.
