I admit it was me who shouted, “Looking good, hot stuff!” at Mr. Richmond this morning, but I didn’t mean it like that. Yes, Mrs. HR Lady, I know how it looks. Believe me, I am totally anti-catcalling, but that’s not what that was. Honest. I was paying him a compliment! That’s kind of what I do: I’m a proud, small-town Floridian, and Manhattan is craving some Florida sunshine—nothing like a sincere compliment to turn those New York frowns upside down!

Taking a job at the newly opened Wilderness Adventure Park was supposed to be about gaining independence for Addison March. She wasn’t supposed to find her boss so ridiculously good-looking. Or his smile so charming. Or his protectiveness such a freaking turn-on. The problem is, not only does he think he’s too old for her—he also has a past. A past that makes him believe he’s dangerous for Addie to be around. She disagrees. But convincing Noah is proving difficult.

For years, Kara Ballard Torrington has kept her distance from the town in Maine where she was raised and the boisterous, often-troubled Ballard family. She’s made a whole new life for herself on Gansett Island that is upended by a phone call in which she learns that two of her brothers have been accused of murder. When her parents ask her husband, celebrated attorney Dan Torrington, to come help them, Kara is forced to confront the drama she left behind in Maine as well as a whole new set of issues that have arisen in her absence.

I never thought the love of my life would turn out to be - a mall Santa. What has happened to Mack McAllister? We were law school rivals. Absolutely insane in bed. Our two-year fling ended when we graduated. He had his ambitions. I had mine. We were going to slay the competition. Now he’s sleighing it? When I stalk him at Riverside Mall, he looks like Santa in every way. White beard. Rosy cheeks. Kid on his knee. But I know better. That bowl full of jelly is hiding ripped abs. I’ve been inside that suit.

Skyscraper cheekbones, lush lips, and magnetic topaz eyes. I’m talking about Eric Hansen. Rich prick. Glorified hockey star. Thinks he’s amazing. Yeah. The Golden Boy and I are well acquainted. In prep school he trampled on my heart and kept right on going. Three years later, he’s living the high life with frat parties at Hawthorne University. On the other hand, people barely notice me. I’m the nobody, surviving in the seedy part of town as I struggle to keep my head above treacherous waters. The avoidance game we’ve been playing was working—until he rescues me.

Buddha and the Quantum offers a bold yet approachable way to understand modern physics through lived experience. While many books draw parallels between science and Eastern thought, this one flips the equation—showing how space, time, and the physical world itself arise within consciousness. Just as planetary motion only makes sense when the sun is placed at the center, modern physics becomes clearer when awareness takes center stage.

In this engaging conversation, Samuel Avery explores the compelling ideas in his new audiobook The Buddha and the Quantum. He takes us on a brief journey through the 100 year history of quantum physics and the 3,000 year history of Buddhist meditation to show us that the discoveries of the Buddha and physicist Max Planck were one and the same.

Expand your mind and shift your vantage point on reality with Why Matter Doesn't Matter—a paradigm-shifting exploration of physics and consciousness. Drawing on insights from modern physics like relativity and quantum mechanics, Samuel Avery builds a compelling case that consciousness itself is fundamental and that space, time, and the familiar dimensions we experience are phenomena arising within consciousness rather than existing as an external physical reality.
