use of a variety of spiritual practices to reveal the nature of reality.” –Kirkus Reviews

transcendental meditation.” –Publishers Weekly
Millions of people meditate regularly, including celebrities like Oprah Winfrey and Howard Stern. What
benefits do they enjoy from this? Could one find their happiness and life’s purpose by meditating and
going on a quest for spiritual enlightenment?
In an inspirational book, Is God In That Bottle Cap: A Search for Truth, inspirational author John D.
Sambalino, helps us explore the greater possibilities of how to live life and uncover a mystical truth that
forms the very essence of ourselves and all that surrounds us. His search examines science and religion,
with profound excursions to India, Egypt, Nepal, and Bhutan.
“My book is about meditation and spirituality,” says Sambalino, “and it is meant to motivate people to
start their own spiritual journey.”
He also shows us how to:
Reduce stress.
Be happier.
Live a healthier life.
Utilize meditation to be more productive.
“I have a lifetime of experience in the field of spirituality.” says Sambalino. “I have meditated daily for
45 years, done yoga and tai chi for 42 years, and qigong for 23 years. My book is meant to motivate
people to start their own journey of self-discovery. My book is not some lofty thesis, but rather a
practical, down-to-earth and inspiring story.
Sambalino’s Is God in that Bottle Cap? presents his lifelong quest to discover what life really all about.
Part memoir, part spiritual guide, it’s a page-turning journey focusing on what Sambalino calls the
“Ultimate Reality” or “Ultimate Truth,” even as the author remains very much of this world, attending
school, marrying, raising a family, and becoming a successful lawyer and entrepreneur.
“An open-minded search for meaning that covers much literal and metaphysical ground, Is God in that
Bottle Cap? Is a compelling and interesting text.”
–Foreword Clarion Reviews
“I would love to see this book in the hands of practitioners of all paths for self-realization.”
–Vijayendra Pratap, Ph.D., President of the Yoga Research Society, Author (Beginning Yoga, Yoga
Vision, Secrets of Hatha Vidya)
