If you are mildly or even very interested in spiritual or psychic phenomena but always doubtful of the source, you will find confirmation in the scientific studies presented in this book. For me, the ZPF theories even confirm what Buddha said 2500 years ago - that mind preceeds all and everything comes from and returns to emptiness. A tough but exciting read - like a scientific mystery novel.

This in a very interesting book about frontiers of science. It is easy to read. It explains connections between what we know and believe intuitively, and what science can explain. You will want to read the entire book, and will wish you could learn more when you finish.
Lynne McTaggart's work caught my attention because her last name is the same as mine, but we are not related and I don't know her. But after reading her book, I would like to meet her.

This is the second copy I bought and read. It is even better the second time and very enlightening. You can then go on to discover all these scientists mentioned, in their own works. The author does a great job of putting these hard to understand concepts into terms a lay person can grasp.

I loved it and so will you.

It isn't very often a book or an author has an opportunity to change lives and yet Lynne has provoked her readers to embrace a new way of living in this world. It is beyond The Secret, it is about being aware of your thoughts and taking the positive action to correct what is not working - to know that you are in control.

Lynn McTaggart has managed to take a difficult subject and make it extremely interesting, as well as informative and educational. Physics is on the move, and discovery is coming fast. How does it affect us? Read this book, then make sure to get her next one, The Intention Experiment. How exciting to see the changes in the power of the mind knowledge. It's no longer hocus pocus, it's been proven.

Definitely NOT a book for science readers.
This book has been written for the spiritual, for faithful believers in healing, clairvoyance, psychokinesis and other spiritual gifts; the reason is because the book says what these people would like to read: scientific evidence of what they believe in.

Many times throughout the book, the author claims experiments' results as scientific proof for a given fact, when the truth is that the author doesn't have a clue on the meaning of scientific proof. She mentions tons of experiments supporting certain theories but there are no specific details to really grasp the reliability of those experiments, and they essentially reflect the experimenters tendency to interpret the results in a way that support their theories.
Just to give you an exaggerated example of her style, she writes things like, "I won five times in a row in a dice game, much more that I could have by chance, so that's scientific evidence of the power of my conciousness and my special future-guessing talents".

On the other hand the author talks about quantum physics throughout the book, as if she had a PhD on the subject, but no one that has spent less that 5 years studying physics full time can claim to really understand what all those quantum and relativistic theories really mean. This is very misleading because people usually think there's a link between quantum physics and conciousness, when all these links are just theories and, so far in history, none of them has proven a solid argument.

A good thing about the book is the fact that it summarizes pretty well many areas of research of paranormal activities, and it provides accurate historical data about personalities that have been involved in such studies, furthermore it's an great start off for those who would like to find out more about specific topics.

I found much of this book to be interesting. It attempts to collect data on the science behind energy physics. Many of the scientists that stumbled on discoveries were ostracized by their peers and their research funding withdrawn, because their discoveries flew in opposition with commonly held thought.

That is still occurring today.

The scientific equipment that was designed to measure each of these phenomena were facinating. The finding that everything, including humans, emits photons and that a diseased body emits photos at higher rates than healthy individuals was enlightening, as was the information on how DNA holds energy. It definitely made me want to learn more.

Again this is hard science.

However, the New Age portions added towards the end are not supported by science...which made them out of place in this book. Even The Secret DVD attempted to map those discoveries to New Age ideologies towards the end of the movie. Why can't the data speak for itself without someone trying to claim it as a datapoint for their belief agenda?

I found the discription of each of these gentlemen a bit annoying. Who cares is they were attractive and women threw themselves at them? That was just weird bent to the authors writing...and I found myself routinely advancing past this dribble.

All in all, a worthwhile book. It's still in my library.

This book is full of interesting information, and cutting edge ideas based on new research into physics. However, I found it quite hard-going at times - the author's style isn't particularly readable. I often had to grit my teeth in determination just to make it to the end of a chapter - and unfortunately I gave up about two-thirds way through the book. I think this would be a great book in the hands of a more entertaining writer.

I found this book to be very interesting, although you have to really think about what you're reading. It's truly fascinating what's going on at the quantum level and I think McTaggart did a good job of explaining it.

Great information for all those who want a better understanding of the merger between God and science

Quantum Physics seems to be proving that The Force in Star Wars (aka Chi, Qi, Prana, Mana etc..) may actually be real and that we are all connected to it. The Field tells the story of respected scientists all over the world who have produced extraordinary evidence to show that an energy field -The Zero Point Field - connects everything in the universe, and we ourselves are part of this vast dynamic cobweb of energy exchange.

This book shows how all things are connected in space and time. The energy emmitted from your toaster can be instantly felt on a subtle level at the far reaches of the Universe. What I really liked was hearing that scientists can now measure light photons emitted from Cells and DNA, we are actually all made of light as we've been told.

Excellent book for lay person (Non Physicist) in understanding scientific data and how it may effect us all.

Bless Lynn McTaggert for this wonderful work! She brings this awesome and fascinating subject to a level that anyone over the age of 16 who can read, can understand. I HIGHLY recommend investing in this book.

I loved this book and have highly recommended it to all my fellow travelers in the emerging specialty of energy psychology. Lynne McTaggart explains in easy to understand terms a unifying concept of the universe that reconciles mind with matter and provides energy psychology practitioners a scientific basis for what we observe clinically - the mechanisms of thinking go beyond the traditional conceptualization of simply a human brain. Philosophers, psychologists, and biologists have been struggling with the question of where and what is the human mind? The Field: The Quest for the Secret Force of the Universe offers a 21st century platform for a description of mind as both inside and outside your physical self. The Field provides a rationale for why prayer and healing thoughts are influential beyond your personal space and why they can ultimately positively impact world healing. This extremely readable book provides the reader with mind stretching concepts that can be incorporated into healthy behavioral strategies when paired with some of the other wonderful books describing the powerful secrets of intention.

It is more than good. If you are looking for something that you feel you are missing in your soul and in your life, then this book will give you scientific evidence, with a lot of proofs that we can be more than what we "think" we are right now.

This book blew my mind....Lynne is a fabulous writer that even I could understand what these quantum physicists were proving....finally we know the truth....I just loved it !A must read !

This is the worst. She laces the book with religious words and phrases saying nothing useful. Misusing quotes, citing only parts of findings. What a waste of money. Not only do I feel cheated but I'm lining her pockets. Don't buy the field, bury it in one.

Inspirational! Taggart has intelligently and effectively provided a "missing link" between science and spirituality. The Field offers a glimpse into the wonders of our universe and humankind's relevance in it.
