More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
This book shows how the brain-mind-body is a self-organizing system that constructs our experience of reality. Drawing upon the latest brain research and highlighting the connection to quantum physics, the author traces the development of intelligence from infancy to adulthood and explores the profound biological dynamic between the heart and mind. He further analyzes the major negative forces that hamper the development of intelligence and indicates children's premature exposure to such institutions as daycare and TV, which combine to cause biological breakdowns that sabotage our children's development and the future of our society. Finally, the author suggests how we may pass through the forces that impede us and come to the next step in human evolution - a way of knowing and being that goes beyond the five senses, that unites us fully with life's creative processes.

"Within that class of people called idiots there is a sub-group that used to be called idiot-geniuses, now called idio-savants, savant being French for ""learned-one"" Both terms are paradoxical since these people have an average I.Q. of 25." Read the first page

Intelligent, thought inspiring, and intense. As a doctoral student with a backgound in physics, I was amazed to find a book on heightened awarness that didn't dishonor Schrodinger's and Einstein's work. This book will blow your mind away.It is free of the platitudes and the stupidity associated with books that unfortunately get lumped in the same catagory as Evolution's End. If you read it you will be floored, and left lusting for what it propounds. Pearce obviously didn't just write this for money, he knew exactly what was going on and probably felt the need to let everyone else in on it. Do not go through life with out reading this, you will miss out on the potential of your own existence! He writes with dizzying acrobatics of intelligence, spun with fact and the pages emanate with the grace and eloquence of a silver tounged linguist; that in and of it's self is enough to warrant reading this...

C'mon Amazon, These kirkus review guys or gals display an incredible amount of cynicism and a barbaric disposition to misrepresent certain author's work! In this case, Joseph Chilton Pierce is the victim. I have never read a more pathetic, disrespectful "review in my life". Who ever wrote it barely read this magnificent book, if they did at all. I imagine them coming home from work with the assignment to read the book, in a foul mood(perhaps he or she drank 50 cups of coffee that day) and paging through the enire book within 5 minutes, all the while projecting their unfufilled life onto this labor of Pierce's love. Folks, I am amazed at the blatant misrepresentation, disimformation and condescending bitterness of that particular reviewer. The writer would do better to write smut on soap opera stars in some cheap tabloid. The only thing this review reveals with any accuracy is what a bitter, shut down person the reviewer is. Buy this book! it's better than alot of stuff out there, and right or wrong, Pierce keeps things fresh in a spirit of what I call, Radical Enquirey! C'mon Amazon, Hire me, I'd at least read the book and could provide reviews that have INTEGRITY! I could do it in my sleep!

The Kirkus reviewer of this book has missed the real issues.If he had read carefully he would have seen that Pearce condemns all aspects of modern, man controlled birthing methods, which cause trauma to the baby and prevent deep bonding with the mother, both for blacks and whites.I see no racism in this book.Pearce estimates that 70 percent of white children are uneducable due to the modern developments that he discusses.About two thirds of the population have grown up with these factors that prevent full human development.Most of the people concerned would not be aware of their arrested development.A very disturbing fact that Pearce discusses is the way television prevents the higher brain from developing in children.Television engages only the lower or reptilian brain, not allowing the higher brain to develop.At age 11 the brain destroys many unused neurons, so that arrested development is permanent.This book and "The Sibling Society" by Robert Bly show that very negative things have been happening to human nature in modern society, causing the general breakdown which is going on all around us.
