"Wolf is the master at turning a difficult concept of understanding and puttting it in layman's terms. Without understanding math to the extent of physicists, Wolf can still put you part way there with this book. I read Taking the Quantum Leap before the string theory was part of the scientific inquision. Though fascinating and shivering in its realization, using only language is limited in giving a full understanding of quantum theory.

I loved this book. I found with every read, I get that much closer to understanding this concept, yet there is more I don't understand. Wolf takes me as quickly as Paul Davis, if not faster. That's why I love this book. It gave me a quantum leap toward understanding quantum theory."

"An odd book about physics that contains no math to speak of. Starts out very easy to understand, then gets as wacky as science can get, showing us how our intention is what helps us form our own universe. Part of the mind/body/others connection."
