The Book
In the book, When Science Meets the Soul: A Doctor’s Quest for Deeper Healing, Dr. Mankad presents an examination of fundamental questions about life and the Universe: Who am I? Who might you be? What is the Universe made of? How do we relate to each other and to the Universe? The book is illustrated by his own life events in the context of the cultural influences and through the genetic cards he was dealt. Rather than accept external labels assigned by others, he contemplates the inner core of his being, the soul, if you will, which allows him to keep a mental balance in our turbulent world. He does not preach; rather, at the end of each chapter, he challenges the reader to engage in the search for the truth through contemplation.
