Letters to Vanessa

A fascinating book I am reading right now, called Letters to Vanessa by Jeremy Hayward,

Letters to Vanessa is the guidebook for a generation caught in the crunch between the hard realities of science and the genuine yearning for an experience of the sacred. In a series of letters addressed to his teenage daughter, Dr. Hayward points the way past the limits of science and shows how we can connect with the magical, multidimensional universe of soul. Along the way he presents the most recent findings of neuroscience, cognitive psychology, new biology, and physics in a most engaging and understandable way. He also provides practical meditation instructions that will enable everyone to reconnect with the joyous reality of ordinary life.

Jeremy W. Hayward holds a Ph.D. in nuclear physics from Cambridge University and has pursued research in molecular biology at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Tufts Medical School. . He began study and practice of Buddhism in 1967 and became a student of Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche in 1970. In 1974, Acharya Hayward helped to found the Naropa University.
