These kind of novels are subjective to the reader. Depending on what you need out of it, that is what you get. So while I can not comment on what you personally will get out of it, I can shed a little light on what I got out of reading it.
I most resonated with the Philosophy and Theology aspects of the novel. I liked the way it used comparisons to real world and made me think deeper about things I typically wouldn't give much thought to.
I think you need to go into reading this with somewhat of a clear head. It's a nice novel to step away with and clear your mind to new ideas and thinking.

I often find it really hard to review this kind of book as each person will take out of it what they want, for me I am not a very spiritual or philosophical kinda person and at times found this book hard going - for me.
It is not a quick book, nor one that you read and forget about, this book is more like a reference book that you will come to time and time again. I have read it once and have the gist of what it is all about but now I really I need to sit down and truly understand it - and for that I need to open my mind.
The book calls upon Philosophy, New Physics, And Eastern Mysticism and it is very well laid out. There are four parts each with sub categories covering Philosophy & New Physics, Philosophical Sociology, Eastern Mysticism & western Theology and lastly Perspectives on Life

Finding Your Center: Explorations in Philosophy, New Physics and Eastern Mysticism by Deborah A. Morrison is an amalgamation of ideas on four main subject areas:
1. Philosophy and New Physics
2. Philosophical Sociology
3. Eastern Mysticism and Western Theology
4. Perspectives on Life
This book is, in essence, the author’s take on specific books that have been published in the fields of science, religion, mysticism, yoga, philosophy, gender, and sociology.
The Foreword and Introduction are particularly important as they shed light on why she chose to write about certain topics, and what you could gain from reading about her explorations.
Each chapter reflects on a specific subject. The book does not flow from one chapter to the next, so you do not need to read the chapters in order. The topics covered stand alone, and you can dip into the different sections as you wish.
Finding your Center – what it covers
As the title (‘Finding Your Center’) suggests, the overall theme is about helping you to become more centered in your life.
With much knowledge and wisdom, the author gives you an insight into subjects that can be diverse. It triggers your mind to make new connections and to think more deeply about issues you might just take for granted.
In researching these topics, the author looks at the bigger questions of life, such as what is Truth, Inner Voice, Peace, and Spiritual Freedom.
‘Finding your Center’ is all about figuring out how to quiet your mind and body so that you can hear what your body tells you about pathways to take and the right way to interact with other people from your closest to most distant communities.
Finding Your Center – the theoretical aspects
The author’s aim is to help readers to discover knowledge and wisdom that provides some answers to what this life of ours is all about.
She explains how ‘finding your center’ is a modern equivalent to the Confucian philosophy of resting. She discusses the importance of being centered, i.e., not exerting unnecessary energy, and ‘being centered’ on the right things.
If you are new to the subject area it is not an easy or quick read as you may find it quite theoretical and heavy-going. You do need time to understand and digest the material. It is more of an academic book in the way it is written and how the subject matter is covered. The author has indeed studied and analysed the topics in great depth.
In a nutshell, it is a theoretical and philosophical work, and is the author’s personal point of view on the subjects discussed. Whether you agree with her analyses or not, you can definitely appreciate that much time and energies have gone into the creation of this book.
Finding Your Center – of particular interest
The author’s explanation of the difference between Eastern and Western philosophy is particularly interesting. She explains how Eastern philosophy promotes inactivity in order to focus and prepare, whereas Western encompasses never-ending multitasking with little or no rest in between.
The issues discussed also make you think about what is indeed material or solid. Are we all just energy packets, and if so, what implications does this have on our understanding of the world and our existence in general? Readers would find it most interesting to discover that scientists and mystical visionaries are really on the same wavelength.
As I write this review, ‘Finding Your Center’ appears towards the top of the list of Book Authority's ‘100 Best Philosophy Books of All Time.’
Finding Your Center – what is also covered
This theoretical and detailed book also discusses:
* Your place in society
* The connection between science and religion
* Multi-disciplinary perspectives on specific topics
* The interplay of energies – from different viewpoints
* How your life might be enriched as you look for and find your center
* Finding your center from cultural, spiritual, and philosophical perspectives
* The healing power of being centered and how your life can be enriched by this
* Inequalities between male and female gender roles in certain professions and cultures
* How to center yourself in your family, in society, and the world at large, for your own and others’ benefit.
Finding Your Center - Self Development Summary
As it says in the book’s sub-heading, ‘Finding Your Center’ is an amalgamation of ideas on Philosophy, New Physics, and Eastern Mysticism. It is an exploration of your Self, your identity, and your role in society. It gives you a better appreciation of yourself, the life you live, and the life around you.

This novel covers quite a few genre's. It is Non-Fiction but it explores many different facets in the way of Philosophy, New Physics, Mysticism, and more. While these are all different, they all come into play in a fascinating way. I wasn't completely sold on everything in the novel, but I think that is to be expected. Not everyone will agree with every part of it, but I think everyone will be able to pull something from reading it and that is what I appreciate most about non-fiction.
Deboarah A. Morrison does have an easy to follow writing style. There are complex areas that she manages to dumb down to my level on certain subjects which I am not an authority on.
Eyeopening and Intriguing.
