In 1872, Fyodor Dostoevsky published a novel titled Demons, about a catastrophe that ensues from the nihilism that became prevalent in Russia in the 1860s. A group of young men incite chaos as they try to stage a revolution. In Dostoevsky’s portrayal, they seem possessed by the doctrines they espouse. In a 1957 essay, the Swiss psychologist, Carl Jung, made similar observations about “subversive minorities” in the West who are animated by “chimerical wish fantasies” that may rapidly spread like a contagion and develop into “psychic epidemics.”

THE CATCHER IN THE RYE ENIGMA unearths the mysteries surrounding the 1951 novel The Catcher in the Rye, by J.D. Salinger – arguably the most controversial book of all time. Nicknamed the 'Bible of teenage angst', the classic novel, which is frequently labeled immoral by different groups, has been banned in various parts of America over the decades. However, the main controversy, and indeed the most common reason for it being banned, was that it either inspired or was associated with some of the most infamous crimes of the 20th Century. These crimes include the murder of John Lennon and ...

What is consciousness? How do physical processes in the brain give rise to the self-aware mind and to feelings as profoundly varied as love or hate, aesthetic pleasure or spiritual yearning?

Chalmers offers a cogent analysis of this heated debate as he unveils a major new theory of consciousness, one that rejects the prevailing reductionist trend of science, while offering provocative insights into the relationship between mind and brain.

Albert Einstein and Erwin Schrödinger were friends and comrades-in-arms against what they considered the most preposterous aspects of quantum physics: its indeterminacy. Einstein famously quipped that God does not play dice with the universe, and Schrödinger is equally well known for his thought experiment about the cat in the box who ends up "spread out" in a probabilistic state, neither wholly alive nor wholly dead.

Learning the different modus operandi that the manipulator uses to control their victims, will protect you so you don't fall into the hands of these kinds of individuals again. Do you intend ...

What if the mind is not locked inside the skull, but woven through the living patterns that connect us to each other and to nature? Gregory Bateson was one of the twentieth century’s most original thinkers — an anthropologist, systems theorist, cybernetic pioneer, communication theorist, and ecological philosopher who challenged the modern habit of reducing reality to isolated parts. In Bateson and the Ecology of Mind: Information, Pattern, and the Conscious Web of Nature, Clayton Louis Turnage explores Bateson’s revolutionary vision of mind as a living system of relationships, ...

What if the gifted program wasn’t just about intelligence? What if it was about something else entirely? In the 1970s and 80s, thousands of children across North America were quietly enrolled in specialized programs for the “gifted and talented.” But decades later, many of those children—now adults—are waking up to disturbing memories, missing time, and psychic experiences that can no longer be ignored. Author Desta Barnabe was one of them. From the mysterious "Green Group" in her Winnipeg elementary school to unexplained “nap times” and psychic testing with puzzle games, ...

What if peace of mind didn't depend on getting your life in order... but on how you look at it? Your mind is racing at a million miles an hour. You overthink a conversation, a bill, or a message left on read with two blue checkmarks and no reply. You snap over a comment and later regret it. You compare yourself to others, feel overwhelmed, and carry the weight of a loss you don't know how to let go of. And deep down, you just want one thing: to stop feeling so overwhelmed by everything. Two thousand years ago, three men as vastly different as an emperor, a wealthy advisor, and a freed slave...

What if the human mind is not a machine? In an age of artificial intelligence, algorithms, neural networks, and digital simulation, modern civilization is increasingly tempted by one powerful idea: consciousness is computation. The brain is hardware. Thought is software. Memory is storage. Understanding is output. Given enough complexity, the machine will become a mind. Roger Penrose refused to accept that answer. In Penrose and the Quantum Mystery of Mind, Clayton Louis Turnage explores one of the boldest and most controversial challenges to the machine model of consciousness. Penrose, a ...
