The Better Angels of Our Nature - Why Violence Has Declined
The Better Angels of Our Nature - Why Violence Has Declined

Review:This is a tightly reasoned, carefully documented case argued by one of the most brilliant intellects of our time. The case for both reason and optimsm about the trajectory of human history could not be more forcefully made. Very highly recommended. Read more

Pedophiles, Rapists, And Other Sex Offenders
Pedophiles, Rapists, And Other Sex Offenders

Review:The title of this invaluable book speaks for itself and it most certainly provides important insights and powerful lessons about protecting oneself and one's children from getting into the reach of the deadly predators in our world. Not only it gives great insights, but it would strongly help one to not to fall into the "trap."

I've enjoyed the author's writing style and she did a wonderful job on describing how the predators operate, which helps us to prepare any eventually and avoid our... Read more

A Neuroscientist's Journey of Self-Discovery That Challenges Everything You Know About Drugs and Society (P.S.)
A Neuroscientist's Journey of Self-Discovery That Challenges Everything You Know About Drugs and Society (P.S.)

Review:Refreshing to have a science and evidence exploration of drug use vs. abuse (all too often we assume these are synonymous).
The personal perspective that Dr. Hart provides insights to the structural societal issues that are often more responsible for outcomes than the actual drug use or abuse.
A very timely discussion for those of us who have lived through the War On Drugs and seen only dire results. More victims from the Anti-Drug War than from the drugs themselves. Read more

A Doctor's Revolutionary Research into the Biology of Near-Death and Mystical Experiences
A Doctor's Revolutionary Research into the Biology of Near-Death and Mystical Experiences

Review:Great read about the effects of DMT. It's amazing what are bodies are made to do and heal if given the opportunity. Too bad we all can't increase our DMT and other natural chemicals to heal our body and rid the western civilization of unnecessary medicines. I love the insight and respectful thoughts this doctor makes in regards to one day making DMT more available for all. It also teaches that when taken properly, psychedelics can be our greatest hero, and explains the stigma that they have on o... Read more

Making Smarter Decisions When You Don't Have All the Facts
Making Smarter Decisions When You Don't Have All the Facts

Review:This is a book that delivers more than it promises. Annie Duke teaches us how to set aside many of our pre-conceived notions about positive and negative outcomes. She provides us with a framework to accept either result derived from the countless decisions we make in business and in our private everyday lives.
The titles for each chapter and subheading inspire the reader to hunker down and examine life through the prism of a poker player champion. How would each important decision be mad... Read more

New Scientific Concepts to Improve Your Thinking (Edge Question Series)
New Scientific Concepts to Improve Your Thinking (Edge Question Series)

Review:Mostly written by people who ignore science and math. Mostly written by people who can write for hours without citing one quantity or measurement. Social sciences gave us Karl Marx. All b.s.

But I did appreciate the articles having a non-social science basis using double blind studies and design experiments. Read more

Through Time Into Healing
Through Time Into Healing

Review:Extremely thought-provoking; a good follow-on from Dr. Weiss's first book on the subject (Many Lives, Many Masters). I strongly recommend reading these for contemplation of many things about this life. Read more

The Red Book (Philemon)
The Red Book (Philemon)

Review:One of the most important books to be published in recent memory. Jung's seminal oeuvre is not only important as a psychology book and specifically the study of the "Archetypes"; it is a critical study in the history of Western scholarship in general. It will go down in history in the company of works by Blake and De Lubicz. Read more

Reflections On Archetypal Images - The Book of Symbols
Reflections On Archetypal Images - The Book of Symbols

Review:Unfortunately, this book reflects how the institutional "Jungians" lack a real sense and knowledge of the spiritual dimension. Their understanding of symbols and archetypes has devolved to the secular psychological view of images and ideas. This book is one of many now which return Jung's rich multi-dimensional comprehension back to flatland. The pictures, however, are attractive. Read more
