Nilsson, Ph.D., joins the show during the final hour to discuss his latest book, <strong><em>The Gentle Way of the Heart.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Is science opposed to spirituality?\u00a0 Has the world of incredible  scientific discoveries and the explosion of computers, smartphones and  apps become the new religion?<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Anders Nilsson, one of the most unique authors in the literary  genre of body, mind and spirit, is at once both a renowned scientist at  Stanford University and a spiritual teacher.\u00a0 Dr. Nilsson can see both  sides and believes that science and spirituality can coexist and be  complementary to each other.\u00a0 As he explains, \u201cTo understand the outer  social and physical world, we turn to science, but to understand the  realm that our physical senses cannot see or touch is where the power of  spirituality comes into play.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As a Silicon Valley-based scientist with Stanford&#8217;s SLAC National  Accelerator Laboratory, Nilsson has worked in physics and chemistry  research at major universities for many years.\u00a0 In addition, he is also  well-known for leading numerous spiritual retreats in his native Sweden.<\/p>\n<p>Finding that traditional science doesn\u2019t explain every element of  human existence, Nilsson studied the deep mystical aspects of many  religions as he journeyed on his own path of self-knowledge.\u00a0 He  discovered that \u201c\u2026the pathway forward to find the true self resides in a  heart filled with light that appears when we are kind and gentle to  others, to our surroundings and to ourselves.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-8316\"

more harmonious world by  living our lives from love and accepting everything as it is and  everyone for who they are.\u00a0 Through the self-discovery concepts he puts  forth in his book, <strong><em>The Gentle Way of the Heart<\/em><\/strong>,  science and spirituality can be joined to create a Divine world on  Earth and to manifest the wishes of the Divine Source that exists deep  within all of us.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Nilsson believes we can change our lives and the future of humanity by bringing science and spirituality together.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Anders Nilsson was born in Sweden and received a Ph.D. in Physics  from Uppsala University, and has engaged in award-winning fundamental  physics and chemistry for decades.\u00a0 He was invited to the University of  California-Berkeley as a visiting scientist from 1994 through 1997 and  then, in 2000, he moved to California to become a Professor of Photon  Science at Stanford University.\u00a0 Currently studying the fundamental  properties and structure of liquid water and artificial photosynthesis,  he has authored or co-authored numerous scientific papers.\u00a0 His work on  water was recently featured on the cover the preeminent international  science magazine, <em>Nature<\/em>, as well as being covered by <em>Scientific American<\/em>.\u00a0 In addition, Dr. Nilsson has been featured on the <em>Science Channel\u2019s \u201cThrough the Wormhole<\/em>\u201d series.<\/p>\n<p>In parallel, and independent from his role as a professor, he has led spiritual workshops in Sweden for many years.<\/p>\n<p>For
