Evolutionaries: Unlocking the Spiritual and Cultural Potential of Science's Greatest Idea

by Carter Phipps, Tom Parks (narrator), Tantor Audio (publisher)

Blending cutting-edge ideas with incisive spiritual insights, Evolutionaries is the first popular presentation of an emerging school of thought called "evolutionary spirituality". Carter Phipps, the former executive editor of EnlightenNext magazine, asserts that evolution is not only a scientific but also a spiritual idea in an audiobook whose message has the power to bring new meaning and purpose to life as we know it.

Listeners will be fascinated and enlightened by Evolutionaries, an audiobook that Deepak Chopra, the world-renowned author of The Seven Spiritual Laws of Superheroes, Jesus, and Buddha, says "[I]s going to help create a worldview that will influence our vision of the future direction of evolution and also our role in consciously participating in it."
