Classified as 'popular science', this book spans various disciplines such as psychology, physics, biology, philosophy and ethology, to mention but a few. The author takes the reader on a whirlwind journey through the main tenets of biocentrism, which theory argues that life is central to being, reality, and the cosmos. Most importantly, the book claims that life creates the universe rather than the other way around. In contrast to an understanding of the world in which the evolution of Homo sapiens is almost incidental to 'the way things really are', it is proposed that knowledge is always the product of a living entity and its perceived environment. This means that awareness and knowing things are not just the prerogative of human beings, but of all beings, whether they are micro-organisms or plants, trees, insects, fish or mammals. A deeper understanding of how early life forms coped with their primeval environment leads seamlessly to a greater appreciation of the wondrous nature and splendour of life. Consistent with this perspective is the emphasis on the ethical treatment of all living beings, emphasising the value, rights and survival of individual organic beings After all, we are all 'knowing beings' within our own reality.
