Cat’s Whisker
by Robert Steven Goldstein

Cat’s Whisker is the story of Samuel Baron, an engineer, inventor, and successful entrepreneur. Trained as a scientist, Baron nonetheless nurtures a lifelong fascination with mysticism and spirituality. His life is a search—ultimately a successful one—for a view of the cosmos where science and spirituality don’t just peacefully coexist—but where the two are intimately bound up as co-equal aspects of an integrated reality.

Cat’s Whisker features themes as varied and interesting as meditation, Jiu-Jitsu, biology, anthropology, Tai Chi, BDSM—and the search for the perfect cocktail.
