  Fooled by the Winners is a book about survivor bias, the cognitive error of focusing on the winners, the successes, and the living. But in many instances, we can learn more from those who have lost, failed, or died. 
   
   
   
  After reading this book, you will understand how survivor bias is often used to deceive us. You will learn how to stop paying for financial services that promise more than they deliver, for health care that doesn't make us healthier, for diets that don't make us slimmer, and for advice books that don't offer good advice. You will also come away with a different view of our past, including our perilous evolutionary journey and how history has often been written by the winners. You will come to understand how we are fooled by the winners in warfare, such as in the deployment of nuclear weapons and the most famous example of survivor bias—the missing allied bombers of WWII. 
   
   
   
  Previous studies of survivor bias have been inaccessible to most, housed in formula-laden statistical journals. But you won't find any math or technical jargon here. Through compelling analysis and the real-life stories, this book demonstrates the deceptive influence of survivor bias in our daily lives and on our thinking.

  "Perceiving that much of the intrinsic value of these Journals would consist in a proper understanding of the historical facts to which allusions are made in them, I prevailed upon Mr. LOSSING, the well-known author of the "_Pictorial Field-Book of the Revolution_" to illustrate and elucidate these diaries by explanatory notes. His name is a sufficient guaranty for their accuracy and general usefulness" (Summary from the introduction)

  This audiobook unites two profound works by visionary mystic Neville Goddard: "He Breaks the Shell" (1964) and "I Know My Father" (1960), paired with an exclusive guided meditation by Richard Hargreaves to deepen your journey of self-realization. Blending timeless spiritual philosophy with actionable practices, this special edition invites you to transcend limitations, reclaim your divine identity, and awaken the creator within.  In He Breaks the Shell, Neville unveils the transformative process of resurrection as an awakening within the “sepulcher” of the human skull—a mystical rebirth into your Christ-consciousness. Through vivid scriptural analysis and firsthand mystical testimony, he reveals how God’s four mighty acts (resurrection, fatherhood, temple-splitting, and divine affirmation) dismantle the “shell” of mortal identity, birthing you as “the image of the invisible God.” This esoteric masterwork reframes biblical prophecy as an inward journey: “God became man that man may become God.”  I Know My Father distills Neville’s cornerstone teaching: “Your awareness of being is God.” Here, he dismantles illusions of separation, reframing “God” as your I AM presence—the formless awareness that molds reality. Through razor-sharp insights, Neville empowers you to shed limiting attachments, wield consciousness as the “foundation stone” of creation, and manifest desires by “wearing” new states of being. “To claim ‘I AM free’ is to let your savior in,” he teaches—a call to dissolve lack through radical self-revaluation.   
  The meditation by Hargreaves is designed to anchor Neville’s teachings into daily practice. Through breathwork, visualization, and manifestation techniques, this immersive session helps you manifest from unwavering faith.   
  "He Breaks the Shell and I Know My Father—Special Edition" is a roadmap to self-deification. Neville’s revelations dissolve the illusion of separation, empowering you to wield imagination consciously and sculpt a life of purpose.
