I read a lot of books. And most of them change my life at least a little bit, they plant a new idea in my head, some create
an entire world of possibilities I never knew existed, and some just leave a feeling that the world is more beautiful and wonderful then I thought it was. Some do the opposite, and plant fear and depression into my mind, but that is the risk of reading books, and it's a risk I gladly take. But What the bleep do we know?! is a book that has had such an incredible influence on my life that it clearly stands out from the rest of the crowd, it is the only book that managed to turn my entire world around. Literally. It has opened my eyes to all the wonderful mysteries of life I have somehow managed to forget about, push aside, hide under the carpet. It has made me realize that as Fred Alan Wolf has put it: The real trick to life isn't to be in the know, but be in the mystery. What the bleep?! is a book about
questions. The really important questions of life, the questions that we have somehow forgotten in our endless search for better cars, and bigger houses, and more love. It makes you really start wondering about: What is reality? Is there a god? What is He like? Can
anybody walk on water? Can I? What is the meaning of life? What is the meaning of my life? Why do I behave the way I do? What happens when you die? Can anybody change the world? Can I? What is an atom? What is energy? Where does it all come from? And it doesn't give you the answers. It gives you some ideas, and more importantly it gives you the courage to keep asking, it assures you that it's all right to be wrong, that all the grate scientists have been wrong most of their lives, and that nobody knows the one true answer. Everybody has to find the answer that suits them best. And if you don't put an effort into creating your own answers to the really important questions of life, you are going to end up taking someone's word for it, and you deserve better. You deserve to live in a world that is god enough for you. So read the book. You won't believe it. And then, you'll start believing. And then you'll smile.
