Kurzbeschreibung
It's time for the way we think about our families, our schools, and our lives to evolve.
This passionate and provocative critique of the way we raise our children and undermine our society's future delineates the ways in which we thart our creative progess, and reveals a new landscape of possibilities for the next step in human evolution.
Brilliantly synthesizing twenty years of research into human intelligence, Joseph Chilton Pearce -- author of the bestsellers The Crack in the Cosmic Egg and Magical Child -- show how:
• TV impedes vital neurological development
• synthetic hormones in our foods foster premature sexual development, increasing the likelihood of pregnancy and rape
• premature schooling contributes to potentially explosive frustration and rebellion
These everyday aspects of modern life have a cumulative effect, contributing to violence, child suicide, and deteriorating family and social structures. Proposing crucial yet simple solutions, Pearce persuasively argues that we have the power to get out of our own way and unleash, instead, our "unlimited", awesome, and unknown" human potential as the culmination of three billion years of evolution.

"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." Lesen Sie die erste Seite

Very well researched book with a lot of references and substantial information. In one or two chapters the author pushes a bit too much his personal view, but generally speaking the book gives great insight in how the brain works and how different neural fields are connected. It also shows what power the human mind has and how the natural development of our full potential is under attack by many aspects of our modern culture.

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.

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!

Kirkus?
My girlfriend is reading this book, I've only skimmed it briefly. I do detect a tendency on Pearce's part to be anti-scientific, and to make claims without giving evidence. Lesen Sie weiter...
