Review:This is another challenging but absolutely inspiring book by David Hawkins, leading us further on the path to enlightenment.

Hawkins depicts his own path in considerable detail, describing the various states he experienced. When reading these descriptions, particularly in the section entitled "About the author", I myself fall into expanded states: waves of healing flow through me (I have much to be healed), occasionally accompanied by feelings of ecstasy/bliss; I also sometimes experience...

Review:Anyone interested in abnormal pschology will find this book fascinating! That the human brain can, for it's own protection, protect each facet of one's life by separating sub-conciously is amazing! The things we've yet to learn about the human brain!
I found this book inspiring! Particularly in the end where letters Sybil wrote to Dr. Wilbur after her cure are published. I never before thought to be thankful for having control for one whole day! I always thought that 24 hours in a da... Read more

Review:Being a philosophy minor in college, I think that I understood about half of this book. Here are some things to know before taking the leap.

1.Nietzsche discusses writers that were around hundred years ago or more that most people today are not familiar with.
2.A few passages in the book are clearly misogynistic.
3.Nietzsche's writing can be long-winded and convoluted at times, though it shows that his work was inspired from deep within him, and is not a bland logical conclusion de... Read more

Review:I am not convinced that Hawkins has "the right answer" to how intelligence works or "the best strategy" to developing intelligent machines; I simply don't think we know either of those things yet. But he lays out his ideas in clear, readable prose and leaves a moderately informed, intelligent reader clear on what he is asserting, why he is saying it, and what the implications will be if he's right. Given the complexity of the field that is an achievement in and of itself. And he may turn out to ... Read more

Review:Kind of interesting, but really just a bunch of disjointed, somewhat repetitious speculation about things that might or might not happen in the future. A somewhat more analytical (and a little bit more skeptical) approach would have been much more interesting, because it would have let the reader actually think about the likelihood of some of these things happening. Plus, the author seems hopelessly naive about the ability of our politics and government to control some of the rather frightenin... Read more

Review:According to the product description of SYBIL EXPOSED, "Nathan gives proof that the allegedly true story was largely fabricated."

Although Nathan did a good job of constructing a narrative of how and why she believes the book SYBIL came to be, neither the patient (Shirley Mason aka Sybil, the psychiatrist (Wilbur), nor the author (Schriebner) are alive to defend against Nathan's interpretations of their interactions and their motivations to produce the book.

On p. 396 (Kindle), Nat... Read more

Review:It intends to break up the confidence game into phrases much in the way the movie, The Sting did, but really it just becomes repetitive. There are good examples of the confidence men and women and their victims. The book makes clear that, yes, smart people, do fall for the con. Konnika writes about techniques the con men use to get their victims to believe their stories even though many sound ridiculous. It's worth reading, but I think the phases of the con aren't as distinct as she lets on, whi... Read more

Review:I read this book for a college class and thoroughly enjoyed reading it, not because it was a comfortable read, but because it challenges the reader to think beyond preconceived notions of masculinity. I highly suggest reading it after researching sociology because the writer is a premier Sociologist and not a pop culture writer.

This book will illicit extremely negative male reactions for the same reasons it was written: this book challenges patriarchy and male privilege which will defi... Read more

Review:It was a very good book and quite informative. It helped me discover much about myself and those around me. It also helps one to understand much of how the world works and why it does the way it does. Read more

Review:The Culture Map is not only a very informative text, but fun to read, too. I kept finding the examples on the book very reminiscent of what I have found within our own Company. I found the concept of cultural relativity quite interesting. Culture maps seem very useful, too as a tool to understand global teams. Read more
