Peter Ganim
The whole of Western natural philosophy is undergoing a sea change again, forced upon us by the experimental findings of quantum theory. At the same time, these findings have increased our doubt and uncertainty about traditional physical explanations of the universe's genesis and structure.
Biocentrism completes this shift in worldview, turning the planet upside down again with the revolutionary view that life creates the universe instead of the other way around. In this new paradigm, life is not just an accidental byproduct of the laws of physics. Biocentrism takes the listener on a seemingly improbable but ultimately inescapable journey through a foreign universe - our own - from the viewpoints of an acclaimed biologist and a leading astronomer. Switching perspective from physics to biology unlocks the cages in which Western science has unwittingly managed to confine itself.
Biocentrism shatters the listener's ideas of life, time and space, and even death. At the same time, it releases us from the dull worldview that life is merely the activity of an admixture of carbon and a few other elements; it suggests the exhilarating possibility that life is fundamentally immortal. Biocentrism awakens a new sense of possibility and is full of so many shocking new perspectives that the listener will never see reality the same way again.

What did you love best about Biocentrism?
I appreciated the storyline adn anectdotal stores especially the inital story of Robert Lanza at Harvard as a young boy (himorous). excellent. And to see similar insights in this new field of unification with a kindred spirit. Dr Lanza is truly a luminary with a lifetime of contribution to science and biology as well as philosophy and regenerative neurobiologyWho was your favorite character and why?
Dr Lanza...What does Peter Ganim bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
He has a grasp on the story and allows me to digest as the narration unfolds with the color and detail that his great narration allows adn accentuatesIf you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?
AHHHHH! Weel that film would have to include his incredible current pioneering work in stam cells . his miraculous discoveries in biology and stems cells and even the fantasy arena of recreating extinct or threatened species has a storyline that would make an incredible film.Touch the FutureAny additional comments?
I beleive Dr Lanz is an extremely rare genius who weaves together psychology and philosophy with humor and radical insights ...and adding this to his revelations in stem cell landmarks makes him a nobel prize winning visionaryHe also distinguishes between non-sensical non provable radical theories that have no foundation in reality..in making physics subordinate to biology adn tangible reality which mirrors the patterns and wisdom of the unseen world.
Brilliant and prophetic. A rare revelation

As exciting a proposition as Biocentrism is, it does not come across as 'true' in the subjective way that Robert Lanza constantly refers to when establishing various arguments and principles. It also lapses deeply into whimsy and subjectivity on occasion to be more than a creative opinion per se. There are some very basic contextual ideas and constructs completely missing, which alongside profound insights, undermines the intellectual rigour of the whole text.
Unfortunately there's very little accessible criticism of Biocentrism (online) that doesn't instantly dismiss it, or make it seem cultish and simplistic. Other critiques discuss logical misteps, or addressing what seem obvious logical misteps that are present in the text. These need to be addressed. Nevertheless, I definitely recommend listening if you're inquisitive and interested in consciousness research, there's a very creative perspective here... But as Evelyn Waugh warned, beware of charm in all things.
