The author weaves three kinds of ingredients into an entertaining life philosophy that might help some people feel motivated enough to help themselves mainly through harmless (could be beneficial) meditation.
The ingredients are:
- perversion of science and scientific method by means of a completely flawed understanding of what science is and how it works
- misuse of evidence, and language around evidence designed to provide assurance
- establishing of new languge and rituals that walk the line between existing uses of this same language
This is a book designed to make you stupid, you might become happier, and solve your life problems but you will be a terrible scientist.
Science is not what happens when you measure something strange and mysterious, science is what happens when the community of scientists argue and try to find simple reasons to explain that strangeness and eventually find a shared explanation they all agree on. Science is the boring consensus, not the bizarre outlier, despite what popularising science books have been trying to do by adding interesting stories.
An interesting example is the reference to Rene Peoc’h and his baby chick experiment. This is not science until Rene does everything possible to openly share in questioning and finding explanations for the mechanism underlying his presumed ESP. The actual paper by Rene says almost nothing about the detail of its random number generator which is the crux of the reported effect.
A good book for a skeptic to learn the dark arts of white magic in self help like texts...… (more)

Interesting perspectives and interpretations of the world, energy, science, etc… As I recently started a regular meditation practice, some of that content really resonated with me. I always appreciate exploring the “alternative” or really anything that challenges the status quo, particularly re: western-medicine and healing practices; but, some mixed feelings about the content overall. We’ll written and I appreciated the diagrams! Take what’s helpful and leave the rest.
I didn't read very much of this book because I bought at how he claimed in the beginning that he had a brain scan 20 years after his first brain scan and he had deAged his brain and it become younger. With no proof of this given I just don't take his word for it I'd have to see pictures diagrams and a full scientific study of believable information but at this point I think this guy's just a liar so nothing he could do could convince me that he hadn't faked the results.
