A great intro to Campbell
If you are looking for something more in depth than the Moyers interviews and something less intimidating than Campbell's more academic works- this is a great one to read. This is a collection of lectures which cover most of Campbell's fascinating work in comparative religion, but in a way that is accessible and entertaining. The editing is fantastic, so it reads very natural and you'll find ...

Fascinating reading how our religions were formed

Performance with elegance and full ownership
The book serves as a great reference about a completely new perspective regarding performance. The concept of performance is broadened here to cover any intention that is to become reality and that the way one looks at that which is to realized determines the outcome.

A STANDING OVATION
It's time, I think. to consider the question of the evidence of reincarnation. There are two main bodies of evidence, spontaneous memories and evoked memories (both well summarized in "Lifecycles: Reincarnation and the Web of Life" by Christopher M. Bache). Spontaneous memories are the accounts of young children who remember pieces of previous lives and are able to recognize people they have ...

When James K. Polk became president in 1845 he had a secret agenda: The acquisition of a large part of Mexico, including present-day California with its abundant natural resources and strategic location. Mexico would never part with the land willingly, and public opinion would not support naked aggression. So Polk ordered troops into the disputed border area between Texas and Mexico, hoping to ...

A Workbook for the Transformative Process
Attempting to document the process and aftereffects of a transformative experience is a daunting task. Ultimately, it is a personal and subjective event. However, the authors of Living Deeply succeed in bringing a scientific perspective and methodology to this subject as they skillfully explain what is otherwise ineffable. The introduction to the book contains a well-delivered, brief education ...

The best analysis on american health care
The evolution of American medicine is a fascinating story and it is told very well. The analysis is excellent and this really provides a great perspective about how the US got to the corporate system we are now on. I wish there would be an update that would take us from 1980-2000. The debate over how socialized medicine did not take root is very interesting and well done in the book. If you ...

Supercapitalism: The Transformation of Business, Democracy, and Everyday Life (Vintage)
77 reviews
Robert B. Reich
Vintage
, 2008
Excellent book, other reviews not entirely fair
Supercapitalism is a fabulous book. I, a hardcore anarcho-capitalistic left-libertarian, agree with in excess of 95% of what Bill Clinton's Secretary of Labor says about the causes of the problems we are facing in the world. This is stunning. I'm not certain I've ever agreed with 95% of any 3 consecutive sentences spoken by a political figure before. I agree with about 70% of what he says ...

Strange at Times, but Still a Great Book!
I'll say right upfront that I thought that this book has some strange stuff in it in places, but readers should put that aside long enough to read through the whole thing. Don't let the cover art put you off either, readers; I know that the green guy creeped me out, but he is not really mentioned in the text. This book is well worth reading. I found this book while looking around for something ...
