From Myth to Mind

From Myth to Mind: Reclaiming Scientific Temper in an Age of Belief is a thoughtful arid compelling journey into humanity's oldest struggle the tension between belief and reason.
Written with the warmth of memoir and the clarity of popular science, Dr. Gopal Sharma invites readers to reflect on how myths once helped us survive a mysterious world, and why scientific thinking is now essential for navigating the challenges of modern life. Drawing on conversations with Nobel laureates, stories of iconic thinkers like Galileo, Darwin, Einstein, and Jagadish Chandra Bose, and deeply rooted Indian philosophical traditions, this book shows science not as cold calculation, but as a profoundly human habit of mind.
At a time when superstition spreads faster than facts and emotion often overpowers evidence, From Myth to Mind makes a passionate case for scientific temper not as an attack on culture or faith, but as a partner to wisdom, humility, and ethical responsibility. Ranging from the origins of the universe to the meaning of life, from mythology to modern physics, this book bridges ancient narratives and contemporary knowledge with rare balance and insight.
Clear, reflective, and quietly persuasive, this book is an invitation to think more deeply, question more honestly, and become responsible ancestors to generations yet unborn.
