This book will change the way you see the world around you! - By: Alan Bridges, 18 Nov 2008 
Lynne McTaggart is an award-winning investigative writer, who is perhaps best known for her revealing workin What Doctors Don't Tell You. Butin The Field she moves from conventional medicine to traditional science, cutting-edge physics & the meaning of the universe itself.
The Field began when McTaggart started researching the basis for & validity of homoeopathy. Along the way, she states that she stumbled on evidence that most of what we think of as scientific fact is now being rewritten by a handful of very reputable & very established scientists.
With her very balanced & informative style of writing, McTaggart reveals research that will startle some & excite others. But no matter on which side of the fence you sit, you will come away from this book with the conclusion that the world simply doesn't work the way that many of us, including scientists themselves, thought it did not so long ago.
McTaggart does not exaggerate when she proclaims that we are "on the brink of a revolution"in terms of our understanding of science. And while this might sound like hyperbole that could be easily brushed aside, she has compiled enough evidence to back up her claim.
The research being undertaken may be heavy-duty if not obtuse, but McTaggart makes it very understandable. She leads us by the hand through experiments that have been under way for approximately the last fifty years. Their findings point to conclusions that the universe is more akin to a sea of vibrations.
The implications of this vibrational theory range from the potential of an inexhaustible source of energy to the explanation of clairvoyance, remote viewing & distance healing.
The Field is a fascinating book to read to say the least. And with her extensive footnotes & bibliography, it's difficult for even the most hardened of sceptics to dismiss. Simply put, The Field will change how you see things!
The Mind-Body Book The World Has Been Waiting For - By: Ms. M. Kazzim, 15 Nov 2008 
Written by award-winning journalist Lynne McTaggart, "The Field: The Quest for the Secret Force of the Universe" is a ground-breaking book exhaustively exploring the enchanting complexities & wondrous discoveries of modern-day 21st century science, adducing remarkable evidence to prove that "The Zero Point Field" connects everything we have seen, heard or encountered to the wide, convoluted tapestry of human experiences.
Renowned for her wit, diligence & profundity, McTaggart deftly delineates how we are all connected - not just to one another, but also to nature, places & everything else that has ever happenedin our universe - collating meticulous research, extensive interviews, & historic documents to craft a palatable, inventive message that wonderfully stretches the imagination like never before.
Human potential, she advances, can far surpass what modern science stipulates. This contention, though, is not without it's detractors; and, not least to her astonishment, many have rallied to villify this legitimate presentation of the theory that there is a measurable "life-force"in the universe. But of the numerous discursions into the frustratingly opaque area of quantum physics, none, of course, shine with the same stirring brilliance & polished mastery like thosein the last electrifying third of this best-selling book. In part three, readers are afforded the rare opportunity to hear hallowed scientists Bill Church, Hal Puthoff, Karl Pribram, Ed Mitchell, Robert Jahn & Rupert Sheldrake express their thoughts, feelings & concerns on the controversial subject.
Creator & publisher of the astonishing 1999 release "What Doctors Don't Tell You", McTaggart produces not only one of the most inspiring novelsin the last few years, but also one that is buttressed by compelling research culled from all corners of the world. Despite it's abstruse concepts, "The Quest for the Secret Force of the Universe" is imbued with a gripping readability, replacing the widely-accepted & conventional perpection of man with a vivid, arresting depiction of collective strength, spiritual attainment & human transcendence. Offering unparalleled insight into the world of the supernatural, "The Quest for the Secret Force of the Universe" is fraught with multiple surprises, scintillating twists & extraordinary information: readers of all stripes - scientists, New Agers, physicists, philosophers - will definitely rush to grab onto this one.
Fascinating - By: Diamind, 16 Jul 2008 Although written for the lay man, this book does take some concentration for those of us who have never studied physics. That said, it is well worth the effort. A fascinating read that will make you look at life, the world & the whole universein a completely new way
wrong end of the trumpet...hmm? - By: H. W. E., 01 Jul 2008 I came across this book some years ago and, with a groundingin arts & only a couple of years of very elementary science, I cannot possibly comment on the current veracity of the ideasin it. The word 'science' is somewhat misleading deriving as it does from the Latin 'to know' whereas 'to guess' would provide a more honest root to this ever changing discipline.
It is some time since I read McTaggart but I recall it was an intersting read which triggered a tentative foray into Quantum Theory which sounded to me pretty much what the ancients & mystics had 'known' all along - although from my point of view McT was looking at things down the wrong end of the trumpet.
What Quantum seems to tell us is that there are no absolutes & that our thoughts, emotions & intentions form our experience of the 'material world'. Those still hooked on the idea of an 'absolute' (as I understand even Einstein was - spending the rest of his life trying to disprove his equation) will find refugein religion of one sort or another... including science which has, for many, replaced older faiths.
So... having written this review of the book & talked it up, I suppose I'd better read it again to see if I agree with myself. Hey, ho...
Interesting, but not a particularly easy read - By: Janie, 13 May 2008 
This book is full of interesting information, & 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 teethin determination just to make it to the end of a chapter - & unfortunately I gave up about two-thirds way through the book. I think this would be a great bookin the hands of a more entertaining writer.
