I am not a spiritual type and was expecting more metaphysics than soul. Still, I enjoyed this. Levy is a fine writer and manages to make a topic I usually find tedious worthy of deep consideration.
I've never been a fan of self-help books, and I felt this was billed as a memoir and/or a historical record of Einstein; that's partially my fault, and to be fair, I did find the occasional nugget of wisdom. I feel that if I wasn't in such a transitionary period in my conversion, this would have landed even worse for me. Plus, it's choppy! Levy jumps back and forth and back and forth from stories of people, to memoir, to Einstein, and it felt like 4 books Levy smashed together.
