Review:Maps of Meaning: The Architecture of Belief by Jordan Peterson is a great prelude to "Saam Medical Meditation's" and "Saam Meditation: The Interpretation of Dreams" - Organ Centered Consciousness. In terms of consciousness what Jordan Peterson and Carl Jung are missing is that consciousness resides in the internal organs. Archetypes are formed and stored in the Spleen which represents the need for children to grow big (through nutrition), to counter the fears and threats that are likely to harm... Read more

Review:relative dry book..great insights on human/anthropological development of chimps and us...but towards the second half of the book which are not quite relevant..and Sun spots affect Earth historic temperature fluctuation...not humans..BUT global warming IS an issue..humans have duty to protect, but it is the Sun affects the Earth...as if he tries too hard to squeeze all the passengers into a Shinkansen during Tokyo morning rush hour...

Review:Okay, I admit it. When it comes to understanding the importance and methodology of genometic research and its influence on discovering the origins of humans and their long journey from then until now, I am a seething mass of ignorance. Human distribution has always fascinated me but being old I have relied almost exclusively on physical (archeology) evidence. The old saying that old dogs cannot learn new tricks is a complete myth and the same hold true that the understanding and acquisition o... Read more

Review:The author attempts to cover the effects of culture and religion on economic develop from roughly medieval times to the near present, and in most respects does an excellent job. If you have ever wondered by Switzerland prospers while the comparable sized and resource rich Ghana fails, or why China was the leading nation on earth in 1,000 AD and an impoverished mess in 1900, this book will provide good insight.

The author is a little weak in some areas of economics and to fill in the gaps... Read more

Review:my initial reaction to this book was pretty negative-not because of the author's explanations as to why women test. (I thought those were pretty accurate) but because of the advice about how to respond to these tests. I guess I'm changing my review because I don't know how these tests should be handled and maybe he does. My ex used to always give in to me, would do anything to please me, and I thought I loved that about him but...he's an ex. Maybe these methods are better? Anyway the "why" behin... Read more

Review:"The Unthinkable" logically deconstructs disasters and examines who survives and who doesn't. It provides a fantastic framework for examining risks in your life, and thinking about how best to surive these risks. It is not a doomsday book about stockpiling food in your basement bunker, but instead deals with a way to think about these situations beforehand, so that you will be better mentally prepared.

The book is well-written, and I had trouble putting it down. My wife is currently re... Read more

Review:I bought this book for my own information and also to share with family members. Although we recognize people with these traits, it's great to be able to evaluate personality types and to educate ourselves on those around us who make us feel uncomfortable. While we may not know too many people who fall into the extreme range, it helps to evaluate our fellow man, if only to understand who or what we are up against. Read more

Review:Like most workbooks on anxiety (and I've read and worked with many), anxiety is relieved through distraction of tasks and such. Not much lasting progress made at the end of it. But it's written better than most with a kind and compassionate voice. I enjoyed it. Read more

Review:Super good book on the subject of severe stress response. The title is a bit misleading when you first read it. I strongly suggest this book to anyone that has experienced a situation involving the severe stress of combat, rape or the current exposure to our growing domestic issues from both law enforcement side and civilian side. This is not a how to do book on killing. It is just the opposite in my opinion. I would like to thank Mr. Grossman for his fine work. Read more
