Spontaneous Evolution: Our Positive Future (And A Way To Get There From Here) (2008) - Plot & Excerpts
I listened to this on audio. It was an interesting tour of the history of biology and psychology in relation to the body's ability to heal via the placebo effect. Sort of a "thoughts become things" argument but without the daffy broad from The Secret. Instead you have a science dude and a history dude.I expected less science and history lessons but they were interesting to hear put in a line toward addressing our current society's methods of killing themselves with pills, killing the environment without thought, and the "end of days" cycle of evolution.Overall interesting book. The ideas are fascinating and hopeful, and I enjoyed Bruce Lipton's "The Biology of Belief" which creates a framework for the greatly expand vision in this positive and hopeful book. There were two things that detracted from an otherwise valuable book: (1) the political statements, which I personally found naive and misguided, and (2) Dr. Lipton's sad ignorance of his own heritage. The book would've been better without any political insinuations, and would have a wider appeal, since politics tends to divide, and the theme of the book is global unity. As far as Dr. Lipton's representation (or lack of) of Judaism as a belief system, it was depressing to see the authors' perceptions of various world religions, and giving Chrisitianity the "credit" for professing monotheism. Not only are there some perceptual errors in the origin of ideas, in the single Jewish source quoted (among others of many other faiths), the citation is incorrect. It was a very worthwhile book overall, but the caveats I mentioned would prevent me from purchasing the book or giving it as a gift to someone else.
