This book is a wealth of information about many topics. I do hope the author writes another book analyzing concurrent activities--taking a look at one cycle worldwide would be eye-opening.

Thank you for your visit and your comment.

For example, in the chapter covering sages in India in the 19th and 20th centuries, 18 sages were discussed. My eyes glazed over, as this was already in the middle of an intense chapter.
Haha, I can completely understand this. Even though I am a proud Indian and come from a nation with rich and diverse cultures, I haven't studied as much about so many Indian sages. However, our ancestors valued astrology and the study of the elements highly. But, sadly, this is slowly fading. You deserve praise for finishing the book and writing such an incredibly insightful review.

Reading this book was surprising because it introduced me to the people behind concepts I take for granted, like Algebra and the number zero, as well as highlighting different cultures over time.

Thank you for your comment.

Hi, Nisha! I had the pleasure of visiting India several years ago and will forever hold fond memories of my trip. This book covered many interesting topics on India in particular, including that it soon will become the most populous country in the world and items of interest as we globally continue in the Earth cycle according to the analysis.

Thank you for your kind comment. Your visits are always appreciated. :greetings-waveyellow:

Oh wow! That's wonderful! If you don't mind me asking, which part of India did you visit?

Now I'm curious to know what else is mentioned about India. I might give it a try ... MAYBE. :lol:

Your recommendation of the book for those who struggle with overeating and insecurity about their bodies was thoughtful and inclusive. It shows that you recognize the value of the book beyond just its entertainment factor.

I was in southern India: mainly Chennai and on the coast of Tamil Nadu. I also spent a couple of days in Bangalore. It was a mix of business and pleasure. I even got to attend my friend's wedding (with henna and all :)) while I was there.

That's awesome. Tamil Nadu is rich in cultural traditions. I'm glad you got to experience the wedding rituals. :clap:

I was interested indeed by the human existence long time ago but some theories were exceeded some limits for me . I actually fascinated by your review it simplifies the hard topic. You did a great job summarizing the book

It took a bit of effort to condense the wealth of information in this read into a concise overview--there is so much more! Thank you for your visit and your acknowledgement, Sarah.

This book sounds intriguing and deep. I wonder how the author connects religion with astrology and climate. This one is to read with full attention an open mind. You wrote a really good review!

You raise a good point, Sara. There are several threads of information in this read, and I hope the author continues this analysis in a sequel. Religion and astrology were presented as aspects of the culture but not necessarily connected, and there could be a deeper conversation on climate change too.

Indeed, this is a deep and intriguing book. Thank you for your visit and your kind, attentive comment.
