Summary: One of the best books ever written
Comment: I've read The Holographic Universe often, and have gained new insights into the nature of consciousness and reality from its riches every time. I consider it to be author Michael Talbot's most important work, as well as one of the best books ever written on the subject of so-called paranormal phenomenon.
Talbot's fascination for finding scientific explanations for psychic and paranormal activity began when he noticed objects moving inexplicably around him, regardless where he lived. He would sometimes awaken to find socks draped on his houseplants, and occasionally found objects in his apartment that he knew for a fact had been hundreds of miles away. His real-life experiences with such shifts in reality combined with his training in physics led him to explore possible reasons for these and other mysterious happenings.
Talbot begins his book with an excellent introduction to physicist David Bohm's concept of the holographic model of the universe, and combines the physics model with Karl Pribram's work on the holographic model of the brain. The result is a marvelous description of a non-local, interconnected and alive universe that moves in response to our every thought and feeling.
I am very impressed with the clarity with which Talbot presents the concept of a holographic universe and how various paranormal phenomenon can be explained within that model. Talbot's discussion is comprehensive, fascinating, clear, and packed with relevant and intriguing stories of paranormal phenomenon. Out of body experiences (OBEs), near death experiences (NDEs), auric readings, psychokinesis, acupuncture, X-ray vision, healing, and psychic readings are all described and considered for placement into the holographic model.
Talbot presents a wealth of relevant research studies and scientific theories from David Bohm, Helmut Schmidt, Marilyn Schlitz, Robert Monroe, Charles Tart, Larry Dossey, Paul Davies, PMH Atwater, Ian Stevenson, Fred Alan Wolf, Harold Puthoff, Russell Targ, Lyall Watson, Stanislav Grof, and many others.

Summary: An excellent work!
Comment: An excellent work!
I thoroughly enjoyed this read. I liked the in-depth research and scientific bridge to what seams to be a very flexible and dynamic subject matter - ENERGY - in it's many forms from concrete physical matter to the and subtle forms produced and experienced by psychic phenomena. Some hard-core scientists might disregard the evidence of experiments shown in this book only because it ALSO includes personal experiences and popular stories (experienced by many!), but not me. Where would we be with out the great scientists of the past willing to debunk "comfort zone" theories and tunnel vision. Do people really think that our tendency towards rigid theory-frameworks of reality is that much less then 1000 years ago? I don't think so! Its books like this that need to be more widely read and digested for the empirical evidence they contain. Let's not ignore this stuff anymore, everyone! The earth STILL isn't flat!!!

Summary: great reading!
Comment: The first two chapters intrigued me greatly. The whole book is great, though the book gets bogged down in the middle with too many descriptions of various supernatural occurrances straight from C. Fort and others to back up the holographic theory. Still, the book is a great read for anyone interested in quantum physics or books such as the Tao of Physics.
