This book is such a beautiful and reflective read. It’s a collection of short essays from different voices—scientists, spiritual teachers, and thinkers—talking about life, consciousness, and how science and spirituality aren’t as separate as they might seem.

What I liked most is that it doesn’t try to give all the answers—it invites you to sit with big questions and think deeper. Some essays are more grounded in science, others are more spiritual, but together they really complement each other. And because each piece is short, it’s easy to read at your own pace and come back to whenever you want.

It’s a great book if you’re someone who enjoys both inner reflection and learning about the nature of reality in a grounded but open-minded way. Definitely worth reading if you're curious about how science and spirituality can work together rather than apart.

This is a really thought provoking and beautiful book from so many people! To get all of these questions, contemplations, perspectives, and wisdom has been a wonderful read. The convergence of science and spirituality is fascinating, and this book provided insight from many perspectives that have me thinking about the possibilities of life, where we came from, how, of our connection, and the universe and our place in it.

This is essentially an anthology with a huge variety of perspectives from some incredibly intelligent and wise people. There's some science, philosophy, ancient wisdom, and much more. Readers are guaranteed to learn some interesting perspectives and/or be challenged at times. This wasn't as good as I had expected, partly because each essay is pretty short (thus lacks a certain amount of depth), but that brevity is also a good thing because sometimes it encapsulates all that's needed -- so a mixed bag. But overall, excellent, and likely to send readers to more of some author's work or references. Recommended for those curious about the topic in any way. 4.5 stars rounded up.

I really appreciate the ARC for review!!

A quick read for me and the title is accurate, though I'm not sure I got everything from it I should have.

On the Mystery of Being is a interesting and informative book. It is well written and inciteful. I enjoyed reading this book.

Tengo que decir honestamente, que al principio pensé que este libro era sobre cuestiones ”metafísicas” y definitivamente, no era para mí lo que contenía. Si bien el libro no es mi tipo de lectura, y no sea de acuerdo a mis pensamientos en un 100 porciento, el libro aun tiene cosas que pueden ser de provecho para cualquier ser humano.
