Publisher's summary

Prometheus Rising describes the landscape of human evolution and offers the listener an opportunity to become a conscious participant. In an astoundingly useful road map infused with humor and startling insight, Robert Anton Wilson presents the eight circuits of the brain model as an essential guide for the effort to break free of imprinted and programmed behavior. Bob writes, "We are all giants, raised by pygmies, who have learned to walk with a perpetual mental crouch. Unleashing our full stature–our total brain power–is what this book is all about.”

terribly disappointing

I got this book because of an Instagram post which made the book sound helpful, thought-provoking, and evolved. I couldn't even finish listening to this pile of rubbish. The worst book that I have ever endeavored to read.

The thinker thinks. The proover prooves.

Wilson wrote of cosmically weighty subjects with wit, acute accuracy, and leaves a longing for more. Baby Boomers may not be known for their lasting contributions to psychology and cosmology, but Wilson will be regarded as a true visionary in time. His fiction and non-fiction works will simultaneously have you enthusiasticly contemplating your place in the universe while not taking yourself or the world too seriously. A must read for pyschonauts of any age.
