Book Description
Throughout human history, thoughts, values and behaviors have been colored by language and the prevailing view of the universe. With the advent of Quantum Mechanics, relativity, non-Euclidean geometries, non-Aristotelian logic and General Semantics, the scientific view of the world has changed dramatically from just a few decades ago. Nonetheless, human thinking is still deeply rooted in the cosmology of the middle ages. Quantum Psychology is the book to change your way of perceiving yourself --- and the universe. Some say it's materialistic, others call it scientific and still others insist it's mystical. It is all of these --- and none. The book for the 21st Century, complete with exercises. Picks up where Prometheus Rising left off. Some say it's materialistic, others call it scientific and still others insist it's mystical. It is all of these --- and none. Second Revised Edition!

Interesting - a bit hard to get through.......2007-06-08
I would say this is ideal for an intellectual type, who enjoys a clever professor. A bit tough for me to get through - being that I'm more just generally interested in the topics discussed and not passionate about any particular point of view. Learned some things, forgot some things, let some things just pass by. Didn't love it, didn't hate it. Probably wouldn't get another book from the author.
Damaging Your Assumptions.......2007-01-29
This is arguably one of Robert Anton Wilson's best books, along with Prometheus Rising. Although not a quantum physicist by trade or by training, RAW, with unfailingly skill and humour, applies the insights of quantum theory to the psychology of everyday life. If this book alone out of RAW's huge catalogue of works were to be read (and understood), that would be enough to guarantee severe and lasting damage to your previously immutable assumptions...
Radical Uncertainty
This is Anton Wilsons' take on Leary's Eight Neural Circuit model of human consciousness.......2006-12-01
This book offers some interesting variations on the Eight Neural Circuit Model of human consciousness developed by Timothy Leary. The major differences are to be found in Anton Wilson's descriptions of the 6th and 7th neural circuits. The magician and psychonaut may judge for themselves which version of this consciousness model is more useful.
Niels Bohr Meets the Buddha.......2006-11-06
This book revisits the notion that while your brain doesn't actually create the universe, it does create the model of the universe that you are aware of and experience. Many well thought-out concepts; ideal for those who need a different perpective to get them out of a psychological rut. The chapter on the E Prime language was a good laugh. It is the exact opposite of what they taught us in journalism class.
Wilson, as always, inspires. My totally unbiased opinion: he is a national treasure.
Great book.......2006-08-15
This is every bit the mind bender that the blurbs say it is. Wow!
Book Description
An enthralling look at the convergence of brain science, biological computation and quantum physics, and what it implies about our minds, our selves, our future, even God
Do we really have free will or do we just imagine we do? Do we create our own destinies, or are we merely machines? Will the machines we are now making themselves have free will? These are the fundamental questions of The Quantum Brain. To answer them, psychiatrist, researcher, and critically acclaimed author Jeffrey Satinover first explores the latest discoveries in neuroscience, modern physics, and radically new kinds of computing, then shows how, together, they suggest the brain embodies and amplifies the mysterious laws of quantum physics. By its doing so, Satinover argues we are elevated above the mere learning machines modern science assumes us to be. Satinover also makes two provocative predictions: We will soon construct artificial devices as free and aware as we are; as well as begin a startling re-evaluation of just who and what we are, of our place in the universe, and perhaps even of God.
Customer Reviews:
A Middle View of Religion and Related Topics.......2007-08-04
There are many topics raised in this book, some rather arcane. This review is limited to Satinover's attitude towards religion. He is open-minded to it. However, he believes that religion has justifiably been criticized for its failures more than science because only the former believes in absolute truth. (Could one not argue just the opposite?)
Satinover frowns on unexamined beliefs, regardless of their content. To him, both belief and unbelief can be a fool's conviction. Against the view that no serious academic can be a believer, Satinover cites several top scientists who believe in God (pp. 215-216).
Additionally, Satinover is willing to entertain other academic heresies. He is open to the idea that the universe is designed by an extraneous entity, and considers this view a matter of personal preference (p. 217). And, against those who scoff at the notion of free will, Satinover contends that science cannot decide between free will and determinism (p. 218).
The Quantum Brain: The Search for Freedom and the Next Generation of Man.......2007-02-11
I found the book to be a wonderful read! If your interested in the mysteries of Quantum Physics and the power of thought, this book is for you.
not for a beginner.......2007-01-30
This book was hard to understand. I would not recommend this one to those who are just curious, like myself.
Undecided ...obviously not written by a scienist.......2006-11-03
I found the subject matter intriguing but the entire time I was reading this book I felt some vague discomfort with the delivery of the information presented. Although the science is complex, the explanations or the 'teaching of it' so to speak could have been greatly simplified. It seemed a bit cluttered. There were so many details presented that it was almost impossible (without great concentration) to see the 'big picture'. At some point during my reading of this book I investigated the author and was not surprised to discover that he had no scientific background and had written a book called 'Cracking the Bible Code'. I should have read the back of the book sooner. This book as just to hard to read. I've read a great many 'scientific' books on complex subjects that were much easier to absorb than this one. If I would have picked up this book in the bookstore and scanned it I would not have bought it. find your self another book on a similar subject, preferably written by a scientist and not a psychologist (that thinks codes are hidden in the bible) and get it instead.
The Quantum Brain.......2006-09-05
Great book. Mind boggling.Not a casual read must work you'r noggin.
Book Description
Consciousness is one of the major unsolved problems in science. How do the feelings and sensations making up conscious experience arise from the concerted actions of nerve cells and their associated synaptic and molecular processes? Can such feelings be explained by modern science, or is there an entirely different kind of explanation needed? And how can this seemingly intractable problem be approached experimentally? How do the operations of the conscious mind emerge out of the specific interactions involving billions of neurons? This multi-authored book seeks answers to these questions within a range of physically based frameworks, i.e, the underlying assumption is that consciousness can be understood using the intellectual potential of modern physics and other sciences. There are a number of theories of consciousness in existence, some of which are based on classical physics while some others require the use of quantum concepts. The latter ones have drawn a lot of criticism from the present-day scientific establishment while simultaneously claiming that classical approaches are doomed to failure. This book presents the reader with a spectrum of opinions from both sides of this on-going scientific debate, letting him/her decide which of these approaches are most likely to succeed.

The uneven quality of emerging physics.......2007-02-06
The articles involving exposition of scientific progress are pretty good. The articles attempting philosophy are not so good. Some of the authors attempt to impress the reader instead of enlightening the reader.
Mind, Brain and the Quantum: The Cutting Edge of the Science of Consciousness.......2007-01-23
I think that most of us would agree that consciousness remains one of the major unsolved problems in science. Though there are still some scientists and philosophers who think that it is no more than a grand illusion created by a series of neural reflexes, common sense, personal insight and observation really tell us otherwise.
So how do the feelings and sensations that make up conscious experience arise from the actions of neurons and their associated synaptic and molecular processes? Or is there enough evidence to indicate that the mind is not a product of neural activity, but is instead a universal field that is constrained by the brain?
This fine book proposes that consciousness can be understood using the insights of modern physics and other sciences.
The book is divided into 14 chapters:
1. The path ahead by Jack A. Tuszynski and Nancy Woolf
2. Consciousness and quantum physics: empirical research on the subjective reduction of the state vector by Dick J. Bierman and Stephen Whitmarsh
3. Microtubules in the cerebral cortex: role in memory and consciousness by Nancy J. Woolf
4. Towards experimental tests of quantum effects in cytoskeletal proteins by Andreas Mershin and Hugo Sanabria and John H. Miller and Dharmakeerthna Nawarathna and Efthimios M. C. Skoulakis and Nikolaos E. Mavromatos and Alexadre A. Kolomenskii and Hans A. Schuessler and Richard F. Luduena and Dimitri V. Nanopoulos
5. Physicalism, chaos and reductionism by Alwyn Scott
6. Consciousness, neurobiology and quantum mechanics: the case for a connection by Stuart Hameroff
7. Life, catalysis and excitable media: a dynamic systems approach to metabolism and cognition by Christopher James Davia
8. The dendritic cytoskeleton as a computational device: a hypothesis by Avner Priel and Jack A. Tuszynski and Horacion F. Cantiello
9. Recurrent quantum neural network and its applications by Laxmidhar Behera and Indrani Kar and Avshalom C. Elitzur
10. Microtubules as a quantum Hopfield network by Elizabeth C. Behrman and K. Gaddam and J. E. Steck and S.R. Skinner
11. Consciousness and quantum brain dynamics by Gordon Globus
12. The CEMI field theory: seven clues to the nature of consciousness by Johnjoe McFadden
13. Quantum cosmology and the hard problem of the conscious brain by Chris King
14. Consciousness and logic in a quantum computing universe by Paola Zizzi
Each chapter begins with a brief summary that is most valuable if any of the topics is unfamiliar. Most of the chapters contain some original research data as well as a comprehensive discussion, summary and references.
Virtually all the authors have been widely published elsewhere and this book represents their current views about consciousness. Considering the number of eminent experts in the book, there is a remarkable uniformity of style.
There is some mathematics in a few of the chapters, but nothing too complex.
The intention of the book was clearly to present many different views of the consciousness problem, and as such it succeeds extremely well. It does not come to a final answer, but is instead a summary of where we are in understanding the physics of consciousness.
The book highlights the important fact that consciousness is a highly interdisciplinary issue. We do not have all the answers, but we are asking better questions. And some world-class scientists are finding a way out of the empty impasse of trying to reduce consciousness to an epiphenomenon of neural activity.
The book needs a little understanding of mathematics and the basics of quantum mechanics. But it is otherwise not a difficult read.
If you are interested in consciousness and its interaction with the physical and biological worlds, this is an excellent book that I recommend highly.
Book Description
A Beginner's Guide to Immortality is a celebration of unusual lives and creative thinkers who punched through ordinary cultural norms while becoming successful in their own niches. In his latest and greatest work, world-renowned science writer Cliff Pickover studies such colofrul characters as Truman Capote, John Cage, Stephen Wolfram, Ray Kurzweil, and Wilhelm Rontgen, and their curious ideas. Through these individuals, we can better explore life’s astonishing richness and glimpse the diversity of human imagination.
Part memoir and part surrealistic perspective on culture, A Beginner's Guide to Immortality gives readers a glimpse of new ways of thinking and of other worlds as he reaches across cultures and peers beyond our ordinary reality. He illuminates some of the most mysterious phenomena affecting our species. What is creativity? What are the religious implications of mosquito evolution, simulated Matrix realities, the brain’s own marijuana, and the mathematics of the apocalypse? Could we be a mere software simulation living in a matrix? Who is Elisabeth Kübler-Ross and Emanuel Swedenborg? Did church forefathers eat psychedelic snails? How can we safely expand our minds to become more successful and reason beyond the limits of our own intuition? How can we become immortal?
Customer Reviews:
The Gardens of Gilgamesh.......2007-01-29
In "Sex, Drugs, Einstein & Elves" Cliff Pickover revealed a side of his personality that was well-camouflaged in his first thirty some-odd books on mathematics, time travel, fractals, aliens, patterns, puzzles, God, etc. Indeed, writing so many books in such a short time may be the root cause of his now irrepressible eclecticism. This latest effort, "A Beginner's Guide to Immortality: Extraordinary People, Aliens Brains, and Quantum Resurrection," has many similarities to SDE&E. Not only is it written with an exuberance that complements the author's multi-dimensional perspective, the prose remains clear and accessible even as Pickover explores the complex reaches of transcendental reality.
One of the highlights of "A Beginner's Guide to Immortality" is Chapter 3, "Gilgamesh, God, and the Language of Angels." Pickover confesses that the "Epic of Gilgamesh" is one of his deepest obsessions. And we get a feel for his zeal as he recounts the ancient Mesopotamian king's search for immortality. But there is also a lot of extraneous material in this chapter. It's a virtual Mind Salad of eclecticism. Pickover's brain is fizzing with ideas and impressions, perhaps as a result of his relentless work ethic and voracious reading habits, and they seem to inundate his consciousness as he writes. I find this stimulating. Others may differ, wishing instead for a simpler, more direct narrative line.
At his best, Pickover's mind is encyclopedic -- correction: it's Wikipedic! It's Google-alien! Who else would focus on "The Brain from Planet Arous" in a chapter about Truman Capote? But Pickover does, and it can be fascinating because you get a completely different mental picture once you exit Truman Capote's peculiar oeuvre and enter the zany universe of Fifties science-fiction flicks, of which Pickover is a connoisseur. He loves the movies themselves, but also their filmmakers and the whole idea that some P.T. Barnum showman could make some outrageous, low-budget, horror-show hokum with B-list actors and still turn a tidy profit.
But Pickover can also be deadly serious, and I find this quote from "The Call of Cthulhu" by H.P. Lovecraft, (which also appears in Chapter 3) to be quite haunting:
"The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We lie on the placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far. The sciences, each straining in its own direction have hitherto harmed us little; but some day the piecing together of disassociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the deadly light into the peace and safety of a new dark age."
After reading "A Beginner's Guide to Immortality" you may suspect that Cliff Pickover actually wants "the human mind to correlate all its contents." Which could be precisely what happens to the most intelligent human beings in the 21st Century anyway. If so, what he has to offer in this book should be of interest to the armchair existentialists. We all want to live forever. But then again, maybe not.
My brain is glowing.......2007-01-28
Pickover knows just what to say to kickstart the parts of your brain you haven't even used yet. Reading this book is like taking a walking tour through the magical zone where your life and reality and history and b-movies intersect. Educational, hilarious, mind-blowing, engaging and full of zest and zing, Pickover punctuates his prose with trenchant quotes aplenty. The thing you learn quick when traveling in the Pickover realm is that your brain is always growing and learning, and there is no limit to how far we can go. This guy's also got a generous heart and spirit, you can feel it in the words he writes, and that sort of hawk-eyed optimism for a transcendental, trans-dimensional future is damned contagious. I read this book and I feel like whatever happens, the collective mass of DNA we call the world/self is gonna be not only fine but blazin'! Plus it's light (nice soft pages) and has cool purple cover, with a skull!
One of the Most Fascinating Books That I've Ever Read!.......2007-01-24
I really loved *A Beginner's Guide to Immortality*! Clifford Pickover summarized so many thought-provoking and mind-expanding ideas in this book that I thought my head might explode. I simply couldn't put this book down. Every page is bursting with so many creative ideas that I actually had to close my eyes every few minutes just to think about the implications of what he was saying. This book really expanded my perception of reality. Very highly recommended reading!
A Fun and Fascinating Read.......2007-01-03
I just finished Pickover's book and like the way he bridges all sorts of different ideas, interspersed with great quotes form notables. For example, he weaves the lives of famous authors, Science Fiction Films, anthropologists, philosophers, scientists, mind altering drugs, mathematical equations into a fascinating and fun discovery of ideas and notions I never would have thought about. Particularly interesting are the strange, quirky and addictive habits and coincidences of highly creative people. As a non-academic, he made many topics easily accessible and a blast to read. I like the way he goes off on tangents, as they are always interesting. Any scientist who entertains notions of parallel universes, DMT ingestion, liver divination and intelligent design (to name a few) is OK in my book. Enjoy.
Live forever?.......2006-12-22
Live forever? Isn't that what immortality is all about? Well, yes and no. In this delightful new book by Clifford Pickover, the author explores many routes to immortality. This book continues the explorations that the author began in his previous "Sex, Drugs, Einstein and Elves." Throughout, he interweaves themes on the nature of reality, people of genius, and of course how to achieve immortality.
Early on, Pickover casts doubt on the thesis that you can achieve immortality by creating a work of literature. He lists a sampling of best-sellers from 1950. Most are not known today. Other more exotic routes to immortality may be through the quantum theory of many worlds. In one of these you may never die. Too bad it is not the one that you live in now. We may all have our thoughts replicated in the storage of a massive computer. Or better yet, there are enough stray electrical impulses in a cubic mile of lime Jell-O to mimic our thought processes so that we might find our eternity there. If this is too mechanistic for you, there remains the religious concept of an afterlife in heaven or perhaps in hell if you do not qualify for heaven.
On every page of this book, you can find a new idea explored. Are we at the beginning or the end of the human species? Can we actually be living in a simulation like that in the "Matrix" movie? Are people with additional fingers smarter? Where are the "missing links" in the record of evolution?
There is a mechanism that Pickover begins to explore at the end of the book. We are all linked to each other by the threads of our relationships. What is the Internet if not an instantiation of a giant network of relationships? I used to think that writing your name on a web page was like writing your name in sand at the beach. However, now I am not so sure. Nothing ever seems to go away on the web. Perhaps, we are now finding our way to immortality in the sum of our ever-increasing Google hits.

Short quotes on the book "My Double unveiled".......2002-04-01
From the back cover of "My Double unveiled" few short quotes written by scientists in the field:
``This book gives a very lucid presentation of a far reaching model for the brain functions, based on the theory of dissipative quantum processes. It is addressed to a general public, so that the main stress is on the basic concepts, without the exploitation of any explicite mathematical formalism. This has been quite a difficult enterprise, but the author succeded very well to convey the essential physical features participating to the model, in a way which is very clear and very deep.
It is worth to say that the book will be also well appreciated by physicist, and specialized people, for its clean conceptual presentation, and the availability of the mathematical formalism in the published scientific literature.
I think that the most important aspect of the book is to encourage the various scientific communities, as for example in Physics, Biology, Neurophysiology, Psycology, to reinforce a fruitful dialogue, based on the peculiar aspects of the various desciplines, and the comparison of different formulations of analogous concepts.
I also think that the young people can usefully benefit by reading this book, and meditating on the main issues. In particular, they will learn the beauty of working at the frontiers of knowledge, in a very important interdisciplinary field.
In conclusion, this book will be a very enjoyable and stimulating experience for a very large community of potential readers''.

``...Prof. Vitiello writings provide a fundamental advance in the quantum theory of brain functioning, and astonishingly in the present book, without requiring any technical mathematics''.
Gordon Globus,
Irvine, USA
``...the clearest exposition of the theory of brain functions, based on highly abstract and mathematical theory of Quantum Fields. Professor Vitiello successfully carried out this difficult task without a single equation''.
Yasushi Takahashi,
Department of Physics,
University of Alberta
"My Double Unveiled" is an exciting and delightful book. The excitement stems from his innovative use of Quantum Field Theory (actually a doubling of such fields)to explain how brain processing can entail our awareness of our existential imbeddedness in the world and at the same time our awareness of the aware "self". The book is delightful in that it tells Vitiello's story without recourse to mathematical equations, a story of professors, students and colleagues working fruitfully to resolve the age old problem of human existance, as it has come down to us in terms of understanding how our brains allow such understanding.
Bravo!

Quantum Notes- Is it worth it?.......2006-03-20
I found this book to have a lot of good information for someone who has never experienced Quantum. If you know anything about Quantum Learning, though, it's just a review of VERY BASIC Quantum Notetaking Techniques. Good to have around to brush up on, I guess, for those who teach Quantum.
Quantum Notes.......2004-06-17
Don't waste your time and money. Not worth half of the asking price. It's as though, the author's are so delighted in the success of their first works, they think they can compile and package any kind of garbage, call it a book and rely on their former success and names to sell it. I Could have given the money instead to my 8 yr. old granddaughter and asked her to explain and show me what she is learning in her accelerrated-learning classes in grade school and would have gotten much more info than what is in the pages of this pamphlet. Totally disappointed! A much better 'BOOK', is 'Learning Maps and Memory Skills' by Ingemar Svantesson. Another great one is 'Mindmapping' by Joyce Wycoff. Again,'DON'T BOTHER'!
Book Description
Learning is normally a function of left-brain logic and reasoning, but Quantum Speed-Reading introduces a revolutionary method of learning that bypasses the left brain and taps directly into the power of the right brain.
The implications are huge.
Discovered by accident by Yumiko Tobitani of the Shichida Child Academy, Quantum Speed-Reading involves repeatedly flipping through the pages of a book without making any attempt to read the words. When done properly, Tobitani found that this enabled her grade school students to understand the content of the books—even when the books were written in English, a language the children did not know how to read!
Tobitani's system appears to enable us to process information via the right brain, and so the result is instant and holistic rather than sequential and fragmented. The results are little short of magical, and the possible applications are endless.
Quantum Speed-Reading includes numerous photos and illustrations of the Quantum Speed-Reading system in action. Besides exercises for children and adults, Quantum Speed-Reading provides a program for toddlers. Quantum Speed-Reading was originally published in Japan.

More important than Penrose.......2005-10-02
This is a superb work by one of the exceedingly rare individuals who has one foot firmly planted in quantum theory and the other in the broader philosophical tradition.
This book preceded the various works by Penrose on the subject and remains of greater intellectual merit if only because Lockwood actually understands what the mind/body problem is about. He also writes well.
Disappointing........2002-12-11
This is not an easy book, although the author says that it was written for the layman.
It treats very interesting scientific problems, like the body/mind duality, Schrödinger's cat, self-consciousness, freedom and space/time.
But the author didn't give me any solution. On the contrary, he tends to make the problems more complicated.
I cannot recommend this book. Readers interested in the above mentioned items should turn to other authors like Brian Greene, Daniel C. Dennett, Paul Davies or John Gribbin, to name a few.
the real story of QM.......2001-06-07
this is the best book written on the philosophical implications of quantum mechanics. in 100 years, these ideas will have made it into the popular culture. it's a difficult read, and while it does not assume that much pre-knowledge, it is quite heady. but if that's what you want, this is the best one out there.
An ingenious answer.......2000-08-12
This is a far ranging book with a very original point of view. No one can doubt Michael Lockwood's extensive command of a variety of scientific and philosophical disciplines and he protrays his subject matter in a clear and compelling manner. He attempts a bold answer to the traditional philosophical problem of the nature of mind. Although speculative its ingenuity makes it a leading theory which deserves close attention.

An excellent book ! beyond any description !.......2001-08-05
This is an excellent work in the area of artificial intelligence research. It builds thoroughly a new framwork for studying and understanding the barin dynamics, behaviour and intelligence in the eyes of the Quantum theory in physics, while explaining why the neeed for a new frame of reference!! since the neuro doctrin of artificial neural networks fails to address many seriouse every day human intelligence tasks.
It is very natural to look for a solid foundation on which we need to study the human brain based on, since the human intelligence is superb naturally. Creative thinking, dreams, imagination, among many others for example are taboo areas in the conventional artificial intelligence theory. While Quantum brain dynamics has the capability, not only to explain these, but also to extend itself in many directions of research and understanding of the complex human brain/intelligence. Such as fractals, non linear complex dynamical systems, chaos ... that all naturally bind to the quantum theory!
The book focuses on the basis of all: the quantum theory to build successfully a new look at brain dynamics which incorporates FOR THE FIRST TIME the latest biological findings in the brain research.
The book is deep and serious. This is a peice of art, a gold mine in your library !
