Hmm. What's the book about ... Well. I would say it's along the same lines as "What the Bleep Do We Know", positing a somewhat unstable quantum reality. He cites a multitude of examples about happenings that defy science and rational sense. The essential premise is that the universe is structured like a hologram, with the mind acting as one of the mirrors (but I may have this wrong). The examples he cites are all quite well documented. I have the book on hold at the library because I wanted to read it again. I especially loved his chapter on health, in which he writes (among other things) about the placebo effect, and just how powerful it can be.

Cheers,
