Science, Being, & Becoming: The Spiritual Lives of Scientists by Author Paul J. Mills
Studio CarryONHarry ( Press Release ) : Paul J. Mills, Ph.D. is Professor of Public Health and Family Medicine, Director of the Center of Excellence for Research and Training in Integrative Health, and Former Chief of Behavioral Medicine at the University of California San Diego. He has over 400 scientific publications in the fields of pharmacology, oncology, cardiology, psychoneuroimmunology, behavioral medicine, and integrative health. He published some of the earliest scientific research on meditation. His work has been featured in Time magazine, The New York Times, National Public Radio, US News and World Report, Consumer Reports, The Huffington Post, Gaia TV, and WebMD, among others. He’s presented his work at hundreds of conferences and workshops around the world, including at the United Nations.
For several centuries science has been stuck in a materialist world view, with the central assumption being that everything is essentially material or physical, even our minds. This dogma of materialism has essentially blocked the scientific endeavor from exploring all things esoteric and mystical, many of which provide deep meaning to the experience of being human.
Although contrary to popular belief, not all scientists are materialists fervently discounting the spiritual. The new book Science, Being, & Becoming: The Spiritual Lives of Scientists by scientist and scholar Paul J. Mills, Ph.D. closes the gap between science and spirituality. In this seminal book, Dr. Mills shares interviews with some of the world’s foremost scientists who recount their own transpersonal, metaphysical, and mystical experiences and how those experiences transformed them and their scientific work.
In the Foreword, Dr. Deepak Chopra sets the stage for the book with his discussion of science, scientists, materialism, and the spiritual. Ken Wilber continues the conversation by sharing his integral wisdom about the co-evolutionary development of our spiritual and human natures.
Step by step, Dr. Paul Mills dismantles centuries old beliefs by providing direct insight into the spiritual lives of the actual scientists who have been working to close the gap between science and spirituality. The importance of this cannot be understated because the false divide between science and spirituality has led to enormous adverse individual and social consequences. Fortunately, many scientists understand this and are working towards science fulfilling its intended promise to discover and understand all of life, including our deep spiritual nature.
The spiritual is the final frontier for science and the groundbreaking work of Science, Being, & Becoming proves it.

Sonoma County Memoir “My Wine Country” Recounts Author Victor Sanchez Jr.’s Path Through Hardship
Balle Balle Radio™ Entertainment Desk
Victor Sanchez Jr. has published a memoir, "My Wine Country," drawing on his own upbringing in Sonoma County to describe a childhood marked by hardship and what the author describes as an eventual path toward stability. The book is out now through Page Publishing, available in bookstores and through major online retailers including Amazon, Apple iTunes, Google Play, and Barnes and Noble.
According to the announcement, the book traces Sanchez’s life from adolescence, when he began facing what the publisher describes as life’s most demanding challenges, through his later experience as a cancer survivor. Both periods, the announcement states, inform the book’s reflections on survival and endurance.
The publisher describes "My Wine Country" as both a personal memoir and a broader meditation on resilience, built around themes of loss, perseverance, and what the announcement calls the quiet joys that sustain people through difficult periods. Sanchez frames the project in personal terms. "This book represents my truth," he said in the announcement. "I wanted to share my story not just as a survivor, but as someone who learned that pain and joy are inseparable parts of what makes us human."
The setting is a specific one: Sonoma County, part of California’s wine country, a region more commonly associated in print with travel writing and vineyard guides than with memoirs of adolescent hardship. That contrast, between the postcard image of the region and the account Sanchez describes living through there, is part of what the book is positioned around.
Studio CarryOnHarry will be watching to see how Sanchez’s account of place complicates the wine country’s usual story.

Brooklyn Prosecutor Turned Civil Attorney Publishes Memoir on Rising from Poverty in Jacksonville
Balle Balle Radio™ Entertainment Desk
Rudolph Silas, Esq. has published "Fate Smiled on the Misbegotten: An Autobiographical Novel," a memoir tracing his path from a childhood in Jacksonville, Florida, marked by poverty to a career as an attorney in New York. Studio CarryOnHarry received the announcement from Page Publishing, which released the book this month.
According to the book’s own description, the memoir recounts the story of a poor Black child born out of wedlock with few options, and how perseverance, fortunate circumstances, and unexpected kindness from others transformed what began as limited prospects into a life of achievement. The announcement frames the book as both a personal account and a broader reflection on class, race, and what remains possible in America despite systemic obstacles.
Silas’s legal career forms a throughline for the book, according to the announcement. After establishing himself as a prosecutor in Brooklyn, he subsequently defended New York City agencies and everyday citizens in civil matters, securing what the announcement describes as numerous seven-figure verdicts and settlements.
"What began as a series of disadvantages became the foundation for a life I could never have imagined," Silas said in the announcement. "I wrote this book to show others facing similar circumstances that their current situation does not determine their destiny."
"Fate Smiled on the Misbegotten" is available through Page Publishing, as well as Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Apple Books, and Google Play.
Studio CarryOnHarry is always interested in how professionals outside publishing translate hard-won expertise, legal, medical, or otherwise, into memoir, and this one fits that pattern worth watching.
