Sinopse

This book is a diverse read offering chapters covering multiple subjects, but all linked into the same theme. It explores many of the things we have been misinformed about in mainstream media, education and religion.
A chapter by chapter in depth look at various subjects that challenge what we think we know.
It ultimately proposes an alternative way of thinking, and assessing what we have all been informed of through different platforms.
The book explores the author and some of the key things that have affected his life, guiding him to this point now where he wants to share some of his experiences. This includes his love of spirituality and the guidance that has been provided to him throughout his life.
It's an often-humorous story with honest snippets from youth through to adulthood. It explores all the good and bad aspects of the human experience and his acceptance that it is all part of the journey.
The second chapter covers our recent technological boom. This explores the authors thoughts on how we have progressed so quickly over the last 100 years with a thought-provoking challenge as an explanation.
A look at our history and all the many holes in what we have been informed about through education and religion, that frankly do not hold up now with science- throwing curve balls into our previous understanding of our past. The chapter covers such things as structural anomalies around the world, our true origins and the various differing species of humanity that have occupied this planet, and many more issues the author has found through his investigations.
Through Government disclosure and personal accounts, the next chapter looks at the subject of 'are we alone in this universe'?
Starting way back in history and finishing right up to date it looks at the overwhelming evidence that would suggest we are not alone, from witness reports, abduction cases to crop circles. This chapter provides some compelling and fact-based evidence to support the authors ideas.
Following on from the previous chapter the author looks at our planet and its place in the universe, covering the mind-boggling numbers that are attached to the incredible size of the known universe, and our tiny insignificant place within it. It further highlights the facts presented in the previous chapter that discusses are we truly alone in a universe that is difficult to comprehend with its true and enormous size.
Moving away from historical information the author comes right up to date with a chapter about the modern world. He questions that have we really got it right? , and has life truly improved with all the stress and mental health issues being highlighted these days.
An example being emails. Emails were meant to make life quicker and easier, yet in reality they have had a negative effect. Regardless of whether you work in an office or a building site, you have to factor into your daily life time to look at and respond to emails. It's something twenty-five years ago did not exist, but the world still worked, giving us something else to factor into what is not enough time in most people's day. It was meant to improve and ease our existence, but does it?
The final chapter tidies up other subjects missed in the book that would be discussed later, plus some detailed spiritual experience's the author has had through his life that he wanted to share.
This book although is deep and meaningful, it is none the less easy to read and follow and certainly thought provoking.
It is a most enjoyable and recommended read.

    As the world recently commemorated the hundredth anniversary of the discovery of the tomb of Tutankhamun, our fascination with the pharaoh begs for a balanced view. Most recovered mummies have not escaped the modern trafficking in ancient bodies and body parts. The story of Ankh-Hap, a Ptolemaic-era mummy seized in the nineteenth century from the infamous mummy-pits of Egypt, provides a salutary example of what most mummies have endured. 
     
     
     
    Frank Holt makes use of a robust combination of scientific tools and archival research to tell the story of Ankh-Hap's life, death, and his mummified remains, which ended up in the back of an American college classroom. A Mystery from the Mummy-Pits takes the listener into a forgotten world of mummy trafficking by an American entrepreneur named Henry Augustus Ward. His company's shelves were stocked with mummies, coffins, and even ancient body parts. Customers could piece together their own "Frankenmummy" with authentic wrappings and amulets. 
     
     
     
    A Mystery from the Mummy-Pits contextualizes this information by surveying the history of similar mummies from antiquity to the twentieth century, moving from ancient tomb robbers and medieval apothecaries to modern dime museums, traveling shows, pulp fiction, films, and pop culture. The book offers listeners a glimpse inside a dark chapter of mummy history.

    The Shaking Woman or A History...

    Siri Hustvedt

    While speaking at a memorial event in 2006, Siri Hustvedt suffered a violent seizure from the neck down. Despite her flapping arms and shaking legs, she continued to speak clearly and was able to finish her speech. It was as if she had suddenly become two people: a calm orator and a shuddering wreck. Then the seizures happened again and again. The Shaking Woman tracks Hustvedt's search for a diagnosis, one that takes her inside the thought processes of several scientific disciplines, each one of which offers a distinct perspective on her paroxysms but no ready solution. In the process, she finds herself entangled in fundamental questions: What is the relationship between brain and mind? How do we remember? What is the self? 
     
     
     
    During her investigations, Hustvedt joins a discussion group in which neurologists, psychiatrists, psychoanalysts, and brain scientists trade ideas to develop a new field: neuropsychoanalysis. She volunteers as a writing teacher for psychiatric in-patients at the Payne Whitney clinic in New York City and unearths precedents in medical history that illuminate the origins of and shifts in our theories about the mind-body problem. Hustvedt synthesizes her experience and research into a compelling mystery: Who is the shaking woman? In the end, the story she tells becomes, in the words of George Makari, "a brilliant illumination for us all."

    Artificial intelligence (AI) is a powerful general-purpose technology that is reshaping the modern economy, but misperceptions about AI stand in the way of harnessing it for the betterment of humanity. In Thrive, Ravi Bapna and Anindya Ghose counter the backlash by showcasing how AI is positively influencing the aspects of our daily lives that we care about most: our health and wellness, relationships, education, the workplace, and domestic life. In the process the authors help explain the underlying technology and give people the agency they need to shape the debate around how we should regulate AI to maximize its benefits and minimize its risks. 
     
     
     
    Bringing over two decades of experience with cutting-edge research, consulting, executive coaching, and advising to bear on the subject, Bapna and Ghose demystify the technology of AI itself. They offer a novel "House of AI" framework that encompasses traditional analytics, generative AI, and fair and ethical deployment of AI. Using examples from everyday life, they showcase how the modern AI-powered ecosystem fundamentally improves the emotional, physical, and material well-being of regular people across the globe. Thrive's mission is to educate the public about AI, shape realistic expectations, and foster informed discussions about a fast-emerging AI-shaped society.

    Sun Tzŭ on The Art of War

    Brought to you by Altrusian Grace Media and Narrated by Matthew Schmitz. 
    Few works in human history have shaped the course of warfare, strategy, and leadership as profoundly as The Art of War by Sun Tzu. Written over 2,500 years ago during China’s Warring States period, this timeless treatise transcends its origins as a military manual, offering wisdom that applies not only to warfare but to politics, business, diplomacy, and personal growth. 
    At its core, The Art of War is a philosophy of strategy—one that emphasizes intelligence, adaptability, and the mastery of conflict through knowledge rather than brute force. Sun Tzu teaches that victory is not won by strength alone, but by the ability to anticipate, deceive, and maneuver with precision. His principles—such as knowing when to engage, when to retreat, and how to use terrain, morale, and deception to one’s advantage—have been studied by generals, statesmen, and leaders across cultures and eras. 
    Beyond the battlefield, Sun Tzu’s insights resonate in today’s world of business, competition, and negotiation. His maxims on leadership, preparation, and calculated decision-making remain as relevant in the boardroom as they were in the war camps of ancient China. The idea that “the supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting” reflects the wisdom of those who understand that true power lies in the mind rather than in force. 
    Yet, The Art of War is not merely a book of tactics; it is a study of human nature. Sun Tzu recognized that success comes from understanding people—their fears, ambitions, and motivations. His principles teach us that strategy is not just about defeating an opponent but about creating conditions where conflict can be avoided altogether. 
    May this work serve as a beacon of strategic wisdom, reminding us that the greatest victories are those won with knowledge, patience, and foresight.

    As a former barrister and solicitor, and legal innovator, Paul has a successful 25 year career in using the logic of the law. Turning to psychology, Paul became a Certified CBT Practitioner. In 2019, he was awarded by publication a PhD in Philosophy, for applied Psychology, for his innovative book I Want To Love But: Realising The Power Of You.
