Dopamine Nation
INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES and LOS ANGELES TIMES BESTSELLER"Brilliant . . . riveting, scary, cogent, and cleverly argued."--Beth Macy, author of Dopesick This book is about pleasure. It's also about pain. Most important, it's about how to find the delicate balance between the two, and why now more than ever finding balance is essential. We're living in a time of unprecedented access to high-reward, high-dopamine stimuli: drugs, food, news, gambling, shopping, gaming, texting, sexting, Facebooking, Instagramming, YouTubing, tweeting . . . The increased numbers, variety, and potency is staggering. The smartphone is the modern-day hypodermic needle, delivering digital dopamine 24/7 for a wired generation. As such we've all become vulnerable to compulsive overconsumption. In Dopamine Nation, Dr. Anna Lembke, psychiatrist and author, explores the exciting new scientific discoveries that explain why the relentless pursuit of pleasure leads to pain . . . and what to do about it. Condensing complex neuroscience into easy-to-understand metaphors, Lembke illustrates how finding contentment and connectedness means keeping dopamine in check. The lived experiences of her patients are the gripping fabric of her narrative. Their riveting stories of suffering and redemption give us all hope for managing our consumption and transforming our lives. In essence, Dopamine Nation shows that the secret to finding balance is combining the science of desire with the wisdom of recovery.

Drawing from scripture, ancient wisdom, global spiritual traditions, personal travel experiences, and modern psychological insight, this book challenges inherited assumptions while honoring faith.Reece takes readers on a journey through Egypt, Greece, Indonesia, and Peru in search of a deeper understanding of God. Along the way, she examines universal law, the balance of masculine and feminine energy, and the spiritual maturity required to hold faith without limiting it. With clarity and conviction, she reveals how imbalance in our understanding of divine image has shaped theology, identity, and culture.This book offers healing for women who have felt spiritually secondary and freedom for men who have felt pressured to suppress emotional depth. It speaks to the seeker who longs for truth without abandoning reverence. It affirms that strength and tenderness, authority and compassion, structure and intuition are not opposites but complementary expressions of one infinite source.Rather than rejecting tradition, God Is Not a Man expands it. Rather than attacking faith, it deepens it. Readers will come away empowered, grounded, and more comfortable in their own wholeness, understanding that divine image is far greater than any single label.For those ready to move beyond limitation and into balance, this book offers clarity, humility, and spiritual confidence.

Terra Mortis
Terra Mortis: Part II continues Michael Owen's reflections on the mortality of the Earth. Much has been written about the threat to civilisation from climate change. However, the collective recoils from thinking the unthinkable-that this planet may be dying. But to think the unthinkable allows what does not have a home to find a home. It in habits it with human consciousness. Then it may not happen the same way as it might have done. Perhaps.We have run out of planet-a never-before-seen thing. A whole 1.7 planet's worth. Her bones have been mined. The rocks can no longer breathe. Her waters can no longer dream. Her skin is scabrous with parking lots. And the Great Barrier Reef is dying.The trees have nearly given up. The animals have done what they can. The Titanic, 9/11, the GFC and Covid have tried their best to warn us of our grandiosity. Monotheism has abandoned the earth for heavenly rewards. Pathological optimism keeps us in an ecological coma. Indigenous peoples are now only 5% of the world's population. Half of the world lives in cities. And our relationship with indigenous beauty has been lost.Part 1. Shadow: Monotheism has abandoned the earth for heavenly rewards. God's shadow is the narcissistic aberration that is the contrary to indigenous consciousness. The god of monotheism (God, Allah and Yahweh) in all its forms, origins and offspring, is directly and indirectly responsible for the destruction of the Earth.Part 2. Matter: All matter has consciousness. Vernon Masayesva, Hopi elder, said "We believe that water has memory. It responds to human behaviour."Part 3. Body: The health of the Earth and the health of our bodies are one. When the memory of the rocks and the trees and the animals is lost then human memory is also lost.Part 4. Disorder: Pre-traumatic Stress Disorder (yes, you read that right), depression, despair, and the pathology of hope. It is what will happen in the future that is traumatic. There will be flash-forwards as well as flash-backs.Part 5. Science: The rise of scientism and our planetary illness. So what's my beef with CBT? Because behaviourism and its cuzzie-bros are the psychological version of colonisation.Part 6. Earth and Self: The mirrors of the Earth (the original Self) and Jung's "God-image within". The suggestion that the Earth is dying is felt as an attack on the Self and disturbs the relationship with whatever external object the Self is projected onto (religion, atheism, motherhood, the First Amendment, sports hero, or saving the planet).Part 7. Apocalypse anytime: Some far-fetched but aspirational remedies. Ask the Earth for help. What if as many people said prayers to the Earth as they do to God-Allah-Yahweh? What if Sunday morning services at the church, Friday evening prayers at shul, and Friday midday prayers at the mosque, were just for the Earth. Not to God for the Earth--but to the Earth.All with the help of C G Jung and indigenous wisdom.

God Favors the Fool
Everything we once believed stood alone as truth turns out to be part of a larger, interwoven design - one that has been hiding in plain sight across every discipline we've ever trusted.What if the patterns that shape your life have been hiding in plain sight for thousands of years?God Favors the Fool reveals the remarkable consistency between the Tarot's archetypes and the recurring structures found across psychology, mythology, spirituality, human physiology, and even cosmology. Rather than treating the Tarot as prediction or mysticism, Elena Olympia Collins shows it as one expression of a universal symbolic language - a map of human experience that appears across cultures, disciplines, and eras.Drawing on forty years of working with the Tarot as a language, Collins traces the Fool's journey through the cycles we all move through: beginnings and thresholds, uncertainty and insight, collapse and renewal. Whether you come to this book through Tarot, through myth, or through a desire to understand the deeper patterns of human behaviour, you'll find a clear, grounded framework that makes sense of experiences many people struggle to articulate.These archetypal patterns are not unique to the Tarot. They echo in ancient myths, religious narratives, scientific understandings of the body, and the rhythms of the natural world. By placing these perspectives side by side, Collins reveals the shared architecture beneath them - the enduring structures that shape how we grow, struggle, adapt, and transform. At last, a way to express psychological themes that run throughout the history of the human experience, with the warm resonance of campfire storytelling, the rigor of scientific analysis, and accessible to people of every faith and tradition.This book is not about doctrine or divination. It is about recognizing the patterns that exist across... everything.God Favors the Fool invites readers to look at the world with fresh eyes, free from fear, dogma, or inherited assumptions. In doing so, this exceptional decoding of universal messaging - spanning thousands of years and cultures - offers a path toward self-awareness, discernment, quiet rebellion, and psychological renewal - qualities essential for anyone seeking clarity in a noisy, fast-moving world.For readers of Tarot, mythology, psychology, symbolic systems, and cross-disciplinary nonfiction, God Favors the Fool offers a compelling lens through which to understand the patterns we continue to live.

A Rabbit in the Clouds
Why do we see meaning where there is only chaos?From the ancient myths that shaped civilizations to the modern conspiracy theories flooding our social media feeds, the human urge to believe is one of our most powerful and least understood traits. In "A Rabbit in the Clouds," psychologist Daniel Chabot takes you on a fascinating journey into the hidden architecture of the human mind to reveal why we are so prone to irrational beliefs, pseudosciences, and "fake news".Drawing on decades of research in cognitive psychology and neuroscience, Chabot explains the "illusory pattern perception" that makes us see rabbits in the clouds and patterns in random events. Through a rigorous yet accessible lens, this book explores: The Making of Beliefs: How our "System 1" intuitive brain prioritizes survival over truth, creating mental shortcuts that lead to profound distortions of reality.The Social Engine: Why crises like the COVID-19 pandemic trigger a surge in conspiratorial thinking and how the need for cognitive closure drives us toward "ready-made" explanations.Personality and Commitment: The traits that make certain individuals more vulnerable to radicalization and the "escalation of commitment" that turns harmless beliefs into belligerent fundamentalism.The Scientific Antidote: Practical tools and strategies to develop a scientific mindset, enabling you to decode information, identify cognitive biases, and navigate a world of misinformation with clarity.Whether you are curious about the psychology of religion, the mechanics of propaganda, or simply want to sharpen your own critical thinking, "A Rabbit in the Clouds" offers an essential guide to understanding the complex web of interdependent factors that shape what we believe and why we believe it.
