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

And Other Stories from a Child Psychiatrist's Notebook--What Traumatized Children Can Teach Us About Loss
And Other Stories from a Child Psychiatrist's Notebook--What Traumatized Children Can Teach Us About Loss

Review:My wonderful caring school principal recommended this book to the staff as we have a population that is rather heavily burdened with poverty and other stresses. The book details the lives of several children, their histories and what Dr. Perry did to treat each child. What is incredible is the effect of poverty, neglect and abuse on the brain development. You need to read this if you work with children or parent them.... Read more

and Why You Should Never Diet Again - The Science of Weight Loss
and Why You Should Never Diet Again - The Science of Weight Loss

Review:Thankfully this isn’t a book that tells you how to lose 30lbs in 30 days – what it does do is tell what dieting can ACTUALLY do to your body (eventual weight gain) and overall health and gives you realistic ideas about why and what we eat from someone who has done scientifically rigorous research. The best part of the book is while imparting all this important information from the scientific world – it does so in a completely readable, entertaining, and funny way. It’s informative, interesting... Read more

The New Way to End Anxiety and Stop Panic Attacks Fast
The New Way to End Anxiety and Stop Panic Attacks Fast

Review:I have had anxiety and panic attacks for 20 years. They have gotten better over the years,with the eception of driving. I am absolutel terrified. I have done acupuncture, which has helped somewhat, but the fear is still there and I always rationalize its ok not to drive. I donated money to DARE and received a copy of Barry's book. Since then I have downloaded everything I can that applies to the book. I also have had two fiends buy it and just bought 2 more for 2 more friends. This is by far the... Read more

The Quest for True Belonging and the Courage to Stand Alone

Review:In this age of disconnection how do we find belonging ? Dr. Brenè Brown presents practical tools for finding a way to belong to yourself first, then to each other.
The premise of the book is the wilderness is the place we step out from the crowd and stand alone in our integrity . Hard to do its a thankless place sometimes but if we rare willing to risk not fitting in, we will find out how to belong to our own hearts.
One quote that resonated with me:

A Memoir of Marriage and Betrayal - A Beautiful - Terrible Thing
A Memoir of Marriage and Betrayal - A Beautiful - Terrible Thing

Review:It had potential, but the latter portion of the book read like a book report on psychosis. I'm honestly surprised this was published. She cheated on her boyfriend with some random bartender, then he cheated on her. The book was a quick, easy read... very simple. That's the best word. Simple. So she was cheated on, at least she could disappear and be completely taken care of by her parents and hide away. She seemed very spoiled rotten and not strong at all. I didn't see nor feel any sympathy for... Read more

The Age of Miracles
The Age of Miracles

Review:This book gives an excellent reflection on where one is in th midlife years, what to expect, new focuses and goals one discovers for oneself, and new directions to take which are so different from what one did in their 20's, 30's, and 40's. Excellent book. I highly recommend it. Read more

The Last Closet: The Dark Side of Avalon
The Last Closet: The Dark Side of Avalon

Review:A hard, but necessary, book to read. Highly recommend for anybody whose life has been touched by molestation. Slightly triggering. In my case, brought to mind an incident with a cousin I have long repented of, but realize the effects may be still lingering.

This is why the sexual revolution has produced more evil than good. When adults put selfish motives over the development of children, development becomes stunted. Read more
