• 2023 Nautilus Gold Award

• Examines our emergence as self-aware members of a Universe that is itself a unified and innately sentient entity that exists TO evolve

• Shares leading-edge scientific breakthroughs and shows how they support traditional visions of Earth as a living being--Gaia

• Rewrites evolution as not driven by random occurrences and mutations but by intelligently informed and meaningful information flows and processes

Exploring our emergence as self-aware members of a planetary home and entire Universe that is a unified and innately sentient entity, Jude Currivan, Ph.D., shows that mind and consciousness are not what we possess but what we and the whole world fundamentally are. She reveals our Universe as “a great thought of cosmic mind,” manifesting as a cosmic hologram of meaningful in-formation that, vitally, exists to evolve.

Sharing scientific breakthroughs, the author details the 13.8 billion-year story of our Universe and Gaia, where everything in existence has inherent meaning and evolutionary purpose. Showing how the Universe was born, not in an implicitly chaotic big bang, but as the first moment of a fine-tuned and ongoing “big breath,” she shares the latest evidence for the innate sentience that has guided our universal journey from simplicity to ever-greater complexity, diversity, and self-awareness--from protons to planets, plants, and people. She explains how evolution is not driven by random occurrences and mutations but by profoundly resonant and harmonic interplays of forces and influences, each intelligently informed and guided.

In Gaia, the Universe’s evolutionary impulse is embodied in collaborative relationships and dynamic co-evolutionary partnerships on a planetary scale and as a wholistic gaiasphere. She reveals how the conscious evolution of humanity is an integral part of Gaia’s own evolutionary progress and purpose. By perceiving and experiencing our planet as a sentient being and ourselves as Gaians, we open ourselves to a deeply ecological, evolutionary, and, above all, hopeful worldview.

Complete story of the life, the universe, and everything

Amazing literary journey from the beginning of the universe through to modern humans and beyond. Incredible story and well worth listening for anyone who is interested in history, evolution, and science.

Phenomenal

Story? Amazing. Performance? One of the best narrations I've heard and it's even read by the author. I had never heard of the author or the book and felt guided to it. The Story of Gaia is the first book I've purchased with no reviews and I think my Higher Self guided to this gem. It's Amazing and I highly recommend it.

The voice

The beautiful tone and rhythm of the author’s voice brought this incredibly complex story to life!
