• The leading adviser on spirituality in America divulges
the faulty reasoning, bogus science, and general bad
faith prevalent among militant atheists like Richard
Dawkins and Sam Harris, then offers new and
provocative ways to understand God and the nature of
belief in the 21st century.
4. • For many, the rise in the new atheistic beliefs of Richard
Dawkins and Sam Harris are a sign that God and faith are no
longer needed in the modern world. Deepak Chopra disagrees
and sees the rise in materialistic thinking as a grand opportunity
for people of faith to reevaluate what they believe and why. In
The Future of God, Chopra not only dispels the faulty
arguments of a new breed of militant atheists but also shows us
an inspiring and invigorating path to understanding God and our
own place in the universe. "If faith can be saved, the result will
be an increase in hope," Chopra writes. "By itself, faith can't
deliver God, but it does something more timely. Faith makes
God possible."

others never make the charts? Why do some
nonprofits, such as Charity: Water, succeed in getting
our donations, while other charities are ineffective?
And why can't anyone seem to ever get the attention of
their kids?
