Probing the Mysteries of the Human Mind - Phantoms in the Brain
Probing the Mysteries of the Human Mind - Phantoms in the Brain

Review:Science writing is not an easy job. And that is particularly why this book succeeds at two levels - content & lucidity.

Dr. Ramchandran is a very erudite man. But read this book & you'll find all the esoteric concepts of neuroscience are well within your grasp. Dr. Ramchandran visits & revisits the various parts of the brain & its interconnections in just about every discourse in this book, & by the time you're finished reading it, you'll have a good general idea of ho...

The Man Who Mistook His Wife For A Hat - And Other Clinical Tales

Review:Didn't fully understand the meaning behind it being an mp3, although the packaging said it played like a CD. Only, it doesn't. Stuck it in my player and I hear nothing. Not their fault I guess but I wish the packaging had been a little more clear. Read more

Review:The story was okay, but the errors were crazy. I have read two of her books now and I had the same problem with the 2nd book. Please let me know who is reading these books before they go to print. The errors make the author seem like she can't write. You spend some much time figuring out the errors that you somewhat lose the story. Read more

Why We Expect More from Technology and Less from Each Other
Why We Expect More from Technology and Less from Each Other

Review:I started reading this book with great excitement as I often wonder about what impact technology is having on me. The book is basically divided into two parts, one talks about human robot interaction and the other humans and net/phone interaction. The are pages after pages of descriptions of what children think of interaction with robots and there are tons of descriptions of how teenagers use Facebook and texting. I don't think the author needs to list every single interview she ever conducted t... Read more

Get Serious
Get Serious

Review:Mike Cernovich says there is useful advice in this book and I believe him because (a) Mike is trustworthy and (b) the author has clearly achieved amazing results (see book cover). The issue for me is that I am now about 20% into the book and have yet to read one actionable piece of advice that I didn't already know.

A book should be like a machine, with no unnecessary parts. The Reader should be enticed to read more with actionable guidance on every new page. This book, however, repeats i... Read more

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
