    This Second Edition of Transform Your Life And Save The World was published in 2019 and amended in 2021. The book is supported by a very informative website at www.humancondition.com 
    The world is in crisis! What is the solution? Ultimately, we have to find the redeeming, and thus transforming, understanding of our psychologically troubled human condition. And it is precisely that dreamed-of insight, and its now desperately needed transformation of our lives, that Australian biologist Jeremy Griffith presents in this book. 
    Titled Transform Your Life And Save The World - Through The Dreamed Of Arrival Of The Rehabilitating Biological Explanation Of The Human Condition, this book is a very short but powerful condensation of Griffith’s definitive treatise of the human condition that is presented in his book FREEDOM: The End Of The Human Condition. 
    The genesis of Transform Your Life And Save The World lay in Griffith’s address at the June 2016 launch of FREEDOM at the Royal Geographical Society in London. Commencing with very brief extracts from Tim Macartney-Snape’s Introduction at the launch, and Sir Bob Geldof’s keynote address, it goes on to summarise FREEDOM’s content in 3 powerful chapters: ‘The Dishonest Biology’, ‘The Truthful Biology’, and ‘The Resulting Transformation Of The Human Race’. 
    As Professor Harry Prosen, a former President of the Canadian Psychiatric Association, has said, “I have no doubt this biological explanation of the human condition is the holy grail of insight we have sought for the psychological rehabilitation of the human race.”

    A ONE-SENTENCE DESCRIPTION: Scientific explanations of the teachings of The Gītā and The Upanisads (Vedānta), ancient Indian scriptures, through teacher-student storytelling and Q&A, ultimately showing readers how to lead a purpose-filled, action-oriented life of fulfillment. 
    A BRIEF DESCRIPTION: The book exposes readers to the deep science, logic and simplicity embedded in the teachings of The Gītā and The Upanisads (Vedānta), ancient Indian philosophical treatises. 
    The most important learning for the reader is to show that the ancient Indian teachings in The Gītā and The Upanisads, if followed with discipline, will lead to a life filled with purpose, fulfillment and mental wellbeing. For this I present the MEDYK framework – Meditation, Exercise, Diet, Yoga and Karma Yoga, to be followed in that order, everyday. 
    Secondly, I introduce the deeply researched and validated concepts of The Upaniṣads by going into great depths and analyses of the aphorisms – I present here a novel way of bringing spirituality and science together in an audacious claim to blend them into a Spiritualistic Evolutionary Empirical Science, or SEES. 
    Lastly, the reader will learn how to apply this thinking to daily life through action with the right attitude (karma yoga). By developing Faith and Focus on these teachings, one will achieve a Fearlessness, Freedom and Fecundity of thought leading to a transformed way of living, and an unparalleled fulfillment of being.

    The Dead Sea - A 10000 Year History

    A human history of one of the planet's most iconic lakes, and the civilizations that surrounded its shores 
     
     
      
    The Dead Sea is a place of many contradictions. Hot springs around the lake are famed for their healing properties, though its own waters are deadly to most lifeforms—even so, civilizations have built ancient cities and hilltop fortresses around its shores for centuries. The protagonists in its story are not only Jews and Arabs, but also Greeks, Nabataeans, Romans, Crusaders and Mamluks. Today it has become a tourist hotspot, but its drying basin is increasingly under threat. 
     
     
      
    In this panoramic account, Nir Arielli explores the history of the Dead Sea from the first Neolithic settlements to the present day. Moving through the ages, Arielli reveals the religious, economic, military, and scientific importance of the lake, which has been both a source of great wealth and a site of war. The Dead Sea weaves together a tapestry of the lake's human stories—and amidst environmental degradation and renewed conflict, makes a powerful case for why it should be saved.
