Publisher's Summary
Brought to you by Penguin.
Should we believe in God? In this new book, written for a new generation, the brilliant science writer and author of The God Delusion, explains why we shouldn’t.
Should we believe in God? Do we need God in order to explain the existence of the universe? Do we need God in order to be good? In twelve chapters that address some of the most profound questions human beings confront, Dawkins marshals science, philosophy and comparative religion to interrogate the hypocrisies of all the religious systems and explain to readers of all ages how life emerged without a Creator, how evolution works and how our world came into being.
For anyone hoping to grapple with the meaning of life and what to believe, Outgrowing God is a challenging, thrilling and revelatory listen.
Includes a supplementary PDF.

Inspirational
Richard Dawkins has to be the best science writer I've read or heard. The pictures he paints of the natural world are vivid and mesmerising. This book puts the case for god vs no god quite simply and elegantly.

Dawkins, read by Dawkins. Recommended.
Following up on The God Delusion and the Selfish Gene, Dawkins postulates on moving beyond God. If we can (and do) get over the dependence on God (and all that is built around the 'Almighty'), what's next? What are the aspects that make us belief, and if they help us in any way, how and where do we shift our beliefs to... if at all. A most interesting read this. Best of all, it is Dawkins read by Dawkins!

Outstanding book worth a listen
This book gives a valid and fantastic explanation of religion and how it probably has become what it is today.

Loved it
Richard hasn't beaten around the bush with this. Straightforward. Has tried very hard to convince the readers that God doesn't exist and the reasoning is very compelling too! Overall its a nice listen.

Fascinating narrative of science and logic
Outgrowing god, narrated by Professor Richard Dawkins himself, is a captivating narrative of logic and reasoning backed by irrefutable scientific evidence.
It so happens this is the first book I've heard from start to finish on my Audible account. I thoroughly enjoyed listening to Prof. Dawkins!

Must hear!
Dawkins narration is intriguing and evocative. Scholarly yet comprehensible, must listen for people having doubts about the existence of gods.

"You can't be serious!", but it's true.
Perhaps the greatest takeaway from the book. Things that seem absurd to our common sense can make a lot of sense if examined scientifically.

"There was no Adam"
Thought provoking yet too inclined on the atheist side and not being impartial to both schools of thought. At times it felt Mr.Dawkins was too desperate to make believe without giving the necessary pause or questions that make the reader question his own beliefs.
I have a particular anguish that if the theosophical organizations across the world failed to prove existence of God, so did our Mr Darwin by printing that "walk of evolution, monkey to humans" in every science book.
Today in reality we are standing at half truths of both sides. Adam maybe did not exist, but nor did monkeys directly evolved into Homo sapiens, there were other human beings from the Genus Homo living with H.sapiens . What happened to our cousins?
Science said homo sapiens were hunters and scavenger first then they settled and made villages....now out of the blue an archaeological site in Gobakheli Tepe is unearthed and voila! the Temple came first before the villages !!
Scientific thought should be flexible and open minded to any kind of possibilities and not force students to learn things which scientists too only hypothesize in their minds.
It is because of such rigid science school we presently the irony of having Egyptian metal weapons in museums while claiming at the same time that pyramids were built using stone hammers and polished with friction.
Morons and Oxymorons.
