sunwapta's review against another edition
3.0
this book is about the spiritual and scientific world colliding. I really enjoyed the first 1/3 of the book. There were lots of good anecdotes and info, but then it quickly became a ramble of thoughts. Towards the end of this book, it kind of knocks on other people’s belief systems and goes to an extreme end. I lose a lot of disrespect for people and authors like this. To each their own. We are all on our journey, so we can choose to believe in different things. No need to pretend like the ones that have flipped are better off than others. That’s a caste system that’s not necessary. The end of the book also gets a bit cult-ish which isn’t great.
Despite the review, of all the books that I’ve read for this book club, I’d recommend this book over the others. ☺️
❓i think/hope this isn’t offensive to anyone, so please don’t @ me. But what do you think happens to the soul during conditions like dementia? Do you have any similar questions about the soul/spirit and how science may be able to eventually intersect for answers?

Very thoughtful, a little long and redundant
I love Kripal and devour his books. There are some gems in here for sure! It was just a little longer, slower, and somewhat more redundant than his prior texts, but still worthwhile!

4.5 stars.
Loved the journey of the book.
I don't agree with his conclusions at the end about how great social change is possible through the "flip".
Hopefully longer review later.
