This book by Kieran Fox provides a unique exploration of Einstein's deeply spiritual perspective, connecting his scientific work with a sense of cosmic spirituality. It delves into how Einstein's religious and philosophical inquiries influenced his worldview and scientific philosophy. Fox, who brings a background in neuroscience and meditation research, draws from a range of resources, including Einstein's letters and writings, and highlights the scientist’s interest in mysticism and interconnectedness. The biography is notable for its investigation into Einstein’s influences, from Western philosophers like Spinoza and Schopenhauer to Eastern texts such as the Upanishads.

Fox's work can be praised for its nuanced approach, illustrating how Einstein’s beliefs in a "cosmic order" shaped both his scientific ideas and his ethical convictions, like his commitment to pacifism and humanitarianism. However, one might argue that the book’s focus on spirituality might overshadow the rigorous scientific contributions that primarily define Einstein in popular culture. For readers specifically interested in the intersection of science and spirituality, this biography offers a fresh lens, though it may feel niche to those looking for a more conventional scientific biography.

For an academic audience, especially those interested in the philosophy of science or the holistic aspects of scientific inquiry, the book provides insightful reflections on how personal beliefs and scientific pursuits can be intertwined. Overall, "I Am a Part of Infinity" invites readers to view Einstein as a multifaceted figure, bridging the worlds of science, spirituality, and philosophy.
