5.0

This is the most extraordinary book I have ever read. Exploring the physics and spirituality of light, this book is beautifully (almost poetically) written, truly interdisciplinary, fascinating, moving and inspiring. Physicist Arthur Zajonc is also a longstanding practitioner of meditation (he moderated the 2003 conversations about the science of meditation at MIT with the Dalai Lama).
