description: The Quantum Self demonstrates how developments in modern subatomic physics demand a radical reappraisal of our conventional model of personality - indeed of our very idea of ourselves.Guiding us through the strange world of quantum mechanics, Danah Zohar argues that a more participative view of our relationship with the universe is essential if we are to discover our true nature. In place of the alienation and fragmentation imposed by traditional mechanistic science, we are offered a view of reality which effectvely constitutes a new quantum psychology.Zohar's theory is brilliantly topical, answering the environmentalists' prayers for a holistic approach to nature and an escape from the spirit/matter dualism that has dominated Western thinking from Plato to the modern Christian Church. - GuardianZohar takes Fritjof Capra's classic The Tao of Physics several steps further in this provocative use of quantum theory... A stimulating work, thoughtfully conceived and unusually thorough. - KirkusIf you are looking for a travel guide to understanding society as it has been, or could be in the next century and beyond, Zohar's contribution will be worth the effort. - San Diego UnionPhysics without fuss - Jeanette Winterson, Sunday Times
