The author's opinions about life after death are interesting, but I believe no one knows what death is until they experience it. I appreciate that the author does not push readers to have the same beliefs he does. Thank you for your review.

The sample, itself, provides a comprehensive peek at which readers can surely understand what the book is all about. Its simplicity, without a trace of persuasion, is its main charm which can do all the work of calling the attention of a certain amount of audience to read through it until the end. With the ideas and lessons it can give, it does not try hard to get the number of reads it deserves. Talking about spiritual energy, the book is oozing of its title in a literal sense by bringing about one's desires, aspirations, and potentials to life.

This sounds very scientific, but dumbed down for me to understand! Great review!

This is an amazing review. I thought this would be yet another 'God is wonderful' type book but this resonates with me in so many levels.

This definitely sounds like an eye opener book and I read the introduction of it. It is not a typical spiritual book and like the reviewer says the author is talking about it intellectually and has done his research. Great review.

Of all the knowledge we encounter, it must either be good or evil.
We can do a lot.of good with good knowledge, without necessarily any need to know the evil knowledge.
To those things that have been revealed to us we must be good stewards rather than seek to know a lot more than we can handle, and be groping around like blind people in the darkness seeking the right way.
If existential matters were necessary for this life to get better, we should have had that knowledge in abundance without boundaries, the same way the good things are for free for all.
The moment only a few "enlightened individuals" claim to have supernatural knowledge which is restricted from the rest, it's best to wise up and watch out such sources.

On the other hand, some shrewd individuals have hidden the necessary existential knowledge from the public and labelled it as secret, forbidden fruit, taboos, elite knowledge etc only so that the majority may have and aversion to that knowledge and may not find the actual truth having been told that whatever ihas already been revealed as the truth is enough, but it is actually falsified knowledge being freely touted as truth, while the actual truth in has been hidden and labelled as forbidden.
The ultimate seive to find out if it is the truth, is the weight of evidence proven beyond reasonable doubt and from credible sources and is untainted by human sophistry.

I love this review as it makes a controversial topic interesting enough for one to set aside their bias and take the chance to expand their knowledge.

I am not yet in touch with my spiritual energy, so I'm sure that this book will be a good guide in my journey to spiritual awakening. Congratulations to the author for BOTD!

Broach´s views on spirituality and religion are clear and easy to understand. But he doesn´t provide any evidence of any kind to support his views on spirituality and religion. He seems to adhere to a pantheistic view of spirituality. He equates the supposed energy that makes up the human soul with the energy that makes up the universe and that sounds like a pantheistic argument to me. According to the sources listed on Wikipedia, pantheism is the belief that god or some supernatural creator of all life on earth is, in fact, the universe itself.

I have a problem with the fact that there are no citations in this book. I don´t see the value of a book on spirituality that doesn't quote any scripture from any religion. This book is also not for atheists. Atheists, like myself, want to see how different religious or spiritual viewpoints are supported by scientific and scriptural evidence.

The content of this book is without doubt a controversial one, as anything that involves religion is quite sensitive. Little wonder Karl Marx said "Religion is the Opium of the mind." However, knowing the authors view is open for the reader to decide whether or not to adopt the ideas here written gives a soft landing to all and sundry.

There are a couple of things I can agree with the author on, we have a spirit and a soul. I can see that this book could appeal to a particular audience.
I was interested in two scientists that the author mentioned, though I think data is a more appropriate word rather than information.

In 1940, Claude Elwood Shannon, the “father of the digital age,” realized that Boolean algebra coincided perfectly with telephone switching circuits, and he defined one unit of information as a bit.

John Archibald Wheeler, who worked on the Manhattan Project and helped Einstein develop a unified theory of physics, proclaimed, “Everything is information.”
I was only able to read a sample as it was not offered as a free book, but what I read was enough to determine this was not for me.

I wouldn't call myself a spiritual person, but I do believe in God. I've also been curious about life after death or what happens to us once we die. While this book seems to answer some questions, I don't think I'll be reading it.

Latest Review: Fear Not, Dream Big, & Execute by Jeff Meyer

Post by Gabriela Contreras »

This is an interesting book that focuses on the relationship between our biological body and our soul, and the energy that shifts between them. I appreciate that the author is not trying to convince everyone, but "people believe what they want to believe" seems a little condescending and rude (I'll assume this was the reviewer and not the author).
