This is a book about the most important discoveries in psychology. Not just the bleached bones of the studies in a textbook, but what has been left out of our textbooks. From Genius to Suicide Bombers, from Science to Sex, we will cover the most censored facts in psychology.
How is it that the greatest minds in history were able to make some of the most astonishing discoveries of all time when others could not? How is it that others reacted with anger to the greatest discoveries of all time?
Understanding how the mind works, gives us the potential to control our own mind. Only by coming to understand the forces that shape the human mind can we hope to change our psychology as effectively as science has changed our physical environment. We are way behind in that understanding.
All of us want to read about the amazing, secret, hidden powers of the mind. This book is often about the opposite; not just the genius of the mind but the other 99.99% of reality, the part left out of our education.
Psychology has been presented as if it is only a series of conflicting ideas (behavioral, developmental, cognitive, perceptual, neuropsychology, etc. etc.). All have found some important pieces. What we need is to put the known pieces together. Yet psychology has gone more toward a philosophy of differing opinions, instead of a unity of understanding. No other science does this. We cannot call ourselves a science if we are only a gaggle of conflicting opinions. We need a unified field theory.
MIND is about what has been left out, what others have not told us, in our high schools, our colleges, our psychology textbooks, and our daily news. Albert Einstein, in his autobiography, spoke of the realization of how much is censored from us. This led Einstein to "...an orgy of freethinking": About life, freedom, and the ideas they forced him to memorize in his physics textbooks.
MIND is not for the fainthearted, it is for those who, like Einstein, have already run slam into a reality they never knew existed and who want to know what they were not told.
If you read each chapter to the end, I think you will see a unique insight from anything you have heard before, solely based on the evidence from psychology. Some of it may be liberating, some of it may painfully clash with what we have been told. Some of it may make you laugh at the extent of human stupidity. Let the chips fall...
