“Peter Russell’s book is not only eminently readable but also a vitally important contribution to the awakening of human consciousness.”
— Eckhart Tolle, author of The Power of Now
From Science to God offers a crash course in the nature of reality. It is the story of Peter Russell’s lifelong exploration of the nature of consciousness, of how he went from being a convinced atheist, studying mathematics and physics, to realizing a profound personal synthesis of the mystical and scientific. Russell invites us to cross that bridge to a radically different, and ultimately healing, view of ourselves and the universe — one in which God takes on new meaning and spiritual practice a deeper significance.

“A record of a courageous traveler who has gained great wisdom.”
— Larry Dossey, M.D., author of Reinventing Medicine and Healing Words
“A brilliant synthesis of the empirical and spiritual views of reality.”
— Harville Hendrix, author of Finding the Love You Want
“The first solid attempt to clearly identify the paradigm that is emerging — an integration of the scientific paradigm that is dominant in the world now and the spiritual traditions represented in paradigms dominant in the past. . . . For many of us it is a fulfillment of a dream we didn’t know we had.”
— Michael L. Ray, author of Creativity in Business and professor emeritus at Stanford University
“Truly engaging, accessible, and a pleasure to read.”
— Roger Housden, author of Ten Poems to Change Your Life
“The best book Peter Russell has ever written.”
— Hazel Henderson, author of Beyond Globalization
“One of the clearest, most readable, and succinct introductions available to both the breakthrough discoveries of modern physics and the mystical understanding of the universe which appears in numerous religious traditions. This book might encourage many scientifically minded skeptics to take a new look at the mysteries of consciousness and of our universe. At the same time, those with a more spiritual orientation will find the science both understandable and fascinating.”
— The Bodhi Tree Book Review
“As usual, Peter Russell has brought the highly complex into the divinely simple and helped us make the transition from the dogma of the materialistic view of nature to the illumination of the true nature of reality as the consciousness we have called God.”
— Barbara Marx Hubbard, author of Conscious Evolution
“Profoundly insightful from both a theoretical and personal perspective. A story of the development of Western thought on the one hand and of a very thoughtful individual’s personal struggles to reconcile his love and respect for science with his growing spiritual awakening. Far more than most other books on the subject, From Science to God identifies a possible basis for true reconciliation between science and spirituality.”
— Winston Franklin, president of the Institute of Noetic Sciences
“Peter Russell tells us a new story about the meaning of consciousness, shows us a new cosmology, and leads us to touch the heart of the mystical experience by discovering God in consciousness and consciousness in God. From Science to God is a wonderful, readable, and transformational book.”
— Thom Hartmann, author of The Last Hours of Ancient Sunlight
“Absolutely marvelous.”
— Joseph Jaworski, author of Synchronicity: The Inner Path of Leadership
“At a time when Osama Bin Laden and the Taliban have given God a bad name it is a pleasure to read Peter Russell’s beautifully written book endorsing the transcendental view of life. Based on his own experiences as a mathematician and as a mystic he charts the route from materialism to meditation and has a convincing explanation of the meaning of such diverse items such as relativity, quantum theory, light, and consciousness. And a new and satisfying interpretation of God.”
— Napier Collyns, cofounder of the Global Business Network
“A very clear and concise introduction to consciousness.”
— Rick Ingrasci, coauthor of Chop Wood Carry Water
“Peter Russell has done a masterful job describing humanity’s next evolutionary horizon intermixed with stories of his own adventures into the realms of science and the mystical. From Science to God is a book that will convert even the most skeptical among us that we are at a critical threshold for embracing our destiny as a species.”
— John Renesch, author of Getting to the Better Future
