Why We Believe: Dialogues on Doubt, Faith and Reason by Abhishek Kumar

 Why We Believe: Dialogues on Doubt, Faith and Reason by Abhishek Kumar | Book Review


"Why We Believe" is more than just a book; it's a philosophical exploration presented as a dialogue. Abhishek Kumar explores some of the most profound issues in life through evocative and perceptive dialogues: Why do we think that God exists? Is faith an anchor or a means of escape? Can devotion and reason coexist?

Kumar makes the book an introspective analysis rather than an outward investigation by asking us to search underneath cosy certainties for the weak pillars. It gives us the confidence to ask questions instead of providing answers. It is more of a silent battle between our thoughts and the silent assertions they make than it is a reading experience.

Overall, the book is an insightful guide for anyone curious about spirituality, philosophy, and the human search for meaning.

  1. It felt like sitting under a starlit sky, sharing late-night talks with friends about life, faith, and the mysteries of the world. The book follows five friends—Ayan, Maya, Sam, Rohan, and Neel—each with a different perspective, and I found myself recognizing parts of my own curiosity and doubts in their conversations. Their debates about science, free will, and belief felt lively, honest, and deeply relatable.

    What struck me most was how the book never forces answers. Instead, it invites reflection, letting me pause and think about my own beliefs. The mix of logic, spirituality, and humor made heavy topics feel natural and engaging. Even simple scenes like a walk after exams or a library debate brought abstract ideas to life, making them easy to connect with.

    The writing is smooth, conversational, and immersive. It left me thinking about questions I hadn’t voiced before and reminded me of those nights spent exploring big ideas with friends. It’s a short but unforgettable read that sparks curiosity and reflection.
