Bought this in the Bangalore Airport on my way to the US in early April. Finished it pretty soon. Good read. If you ascribe to reincarnation, etc, this book vinidcates that stand, with the expected quantity of the Western scientific approach thrown in, including a good number of control arguments.

The book dovetails to Hindu/Buddhist views on life in summary, but steers clear of the larger questions of creation and its need.

All in all, a good read.
