The Dawn of Mind - How Matter...

James Cooke PhD

Although consciousness is at the very center of who we are, its exact nature continues to confound modern science. From where does consciousness originate? At our core, are we material bodies or immaterial conscious minds? Many assume that consciousness is a product of our complex brains, a product of evolution—and yet, there is no evolutionary reason that a mechanical function of the brain should allow us to enjoy the beauty of a sunrise or become intoxicated with the smell of rain on dry earth. If consciousness is not the product of sophisticated human brains, might the nonhuman living world be conscious? If so, where does that place us in relation to the rest of life on Earth—and what does this imply about our domination and plundering of the natural world for resources? Dr. James Cooke is no stranger to intricate and existential questions such as these, and he confronts them head-on in his compelling, inventive, revolutionary new book, The Dawn of Mind: How Matter Became Conscious and Alive. Weaving together cutting-edge science and the contemplative insights that arise from mystical experience, as occurs with meditation and the emerging therapeutic paradigm of psychedelic medicine, Cooke radically redraws our understanding of what it truly means to be who we are.

Cashvertising Online - How to...

Drew Eric Whitman

The latest book from Dr. Direct™ will show you how to master online advertising and enhance your social media strategies. This is the perfect companion to the author’s bestselling book Ca$hvertising. Cashvertising revealed the secrets of ad agencies to the masses. With Cashvertising Online Whitman reveals even more and how to implement his advice in clear-language to increase your bottom line. Most books discussing online ads teach things like: how to create accounts, how to select demographics, what options to select (video vs. carousel vs. slideshow, etc.), and other topics like maximizing the use of Facebook pixels for fine-tuning your target audience. To create successful Facebook, Instagram, Twitter ads, not only do you need to know copywriting basics, but you also need to understand the highly personal nature of the medium. The successful copywriter needs to make the shift to the highly personal “you and me” approach and learn how to sell without expressing the typical appearance of salesmanship. Likewise, a number of books teaching email marketing primarily focus on things like mailing lists, segmentation, funnels, and automation. All important stuff to be sure, but unless your sales copy is persuasive, these things aren’t worth a damn. The majority of these books spend little time teaching readers how to use the power of advertising and consumer psychology in the Facebook and email environments to cause people to actually respond—the whole purpose of advertising! Cashvertising Online is not a book on general copywriting. Instead, it examines the hidden principles specific to actual successful online ads and email promotions and the numerous and potent psychological techniques they employ that make them so persuasive.
