This book is one of the best I've read on the synthesis of science and metaphysics.
Whether you have read a hundred books on quantum physics and spirituality or you are just now poking your toe in the water, this beautifully written book will inspire you to delve further and show you how you might integrate the knowledge into your daily life. I feel so uplifted and hopeful about changing our world for the better after reading this book, despite the giant messes we face.Through The Quantum Revelation: A Radical Synthesis of Science and Spirituality, I came to appreciate how magnificent the gift of this new science is. Paul Levy has explained how the dream-like implications of quantum physics affect the state of our consciousness and vice versa. He uses smart and relatable analogies throughout the book, that make the science understandable; you’ll learn what the “observer effect,” “uncertainty,” and “superposition” have to do with your own life. You will get a new take on psychological concepts like “the shadow,” archetypes, and synchronicities.For lovers of knowledge, the research the author has done and the way he has synthesized it into a whole is impressive. You will come away with an even greater appreciation of the creative geniuses who opened the quantum world up to us—Wheeler, Bohr, Heisenberg, Schrödinger, Einstein, Bohm, and others, not to mention some of the greatest spiritual teachers throughout history. The author builds on his thesis, chapter by chapter, till you come to the ending where the integrated whole doesn’t seem radical at all.For me, this book provides plausible answers to some of those questions that I could never get satisfactorily answered before—like, if we each are creating our own version of reality, then why do so many of us see the same version? There are so many gems in this work, one read through won’t be enough. It’s the kind of book I know I will refer to again and again as my own level of consciousness grows and I am able to get more out of it each time.

Outside Perspectives Shed Enlightenment on Stagnant Disciplines
Somewhere along the way, in the last century, physicists seem to have lost their perspective on the importance of their field. Physics today is a narrow discipline that automatically excludes anything to do with consciousness, despite the interpretations of the double slit experiment by the otherwise revered discoverers of quantum mechanics. Physics and philosophy are inextricably intertwined, yet much of modern physics, like much of modern science, is segmented and does not encourage conjecture into adjacent disciplines. If you are someone who is interested in the cutting edge of physics and has become disillusioned by modern physics' inability to make any progress on "the theory of everything", then this book is a refreshing perspective on what lies in the quantum realm. Just like a good scientific theory, more questions than answers are provided in "Quantum Revelation". Instead of inserting his own radical ideas, Paul Levy spends much of the book stitching together the perspectives of the great physics philosophers of the 21st century whose ideas marvelously coincide with great spiritual thinkers of the past. Modern cosmology is about measuring things, traditional cosmology is about seeking the patterns of the universe. Paul Levy is a modern-day cosmologist in the traditional and truest sense of the word.

Awe inspiring implications
This is an amazing and very scholarly book which discusses the implications of quantum theory on our life, consciousness and reality. The fundamental thesis is that quantum theory indicates that our consciousness is intertwined with that which we observe. We affect what we observe by focusing on it and becoming conscious of it. Quantum theory dissolves the common "delusion" that our observing subjective being is separate from the objective world around us. The author references almost a thousand quotes from great scientists and thinkers, many from John Wheeler, on the implications of quantum theory.Aside from a brief discussion of the double slit experiment early on in the book, there is very little discussion on the actual experiments of quantum theory itself. This book is almost exclusively a discussion of the awe inspiring implications of quantum theory which seem to point to an "Idealist" view of consciousness. I would personally advise the reader to familiarize themselves with some basic quantum theory first. This doesn't have to be mathematical, just some of the experiments and their results.Overall, this is a very compelling and interesting read from start to finish. Very much recommended.

Finally, the truth about my Self
You will never be the same after reading this book. Your entire perception of life and the universe will awakened.

wrong font
None of the fonts in my kindle fit this text. An apostrophe prints as half-a-dozen special characters...very irritating to read. Curious that no one from Kindle checks this sort of thing.I will retract this review when the problem is fixed.

Interesting information
Got this for my mother. She says that it's a really good book. Very in depth information

Mind-boggling
If you're interested in spirituality, the quantum field, this book is absolutely golden! It's written in a way that helps you (almost) understand how reality works or what reality even is. It opens your mind to fantastic possibilities and ideas. If you read about the Law of Attraction or other spiritual books you'll recognize some or perhaps even most of the ideas in this book. BUT to see them presented alongside recent research and findings is absolutely fascinating and opens your mind to completely new insights and ideas. At least, that's what reading this book did for me. A mind-boggling, extra-ordinary read!
