“Advanced How To Become Money Workbook” by Gary M. Douglas

"What if money was a vehicle to change the world? What if you were willing to receive unlimited amounts of money? What is money? For some, money is cars; for some, money is houses; for some, money is security. But, is money any of those things? No, its not. Money is energy, just as are you energy. There is no difference between you and money except the points of view that you give it. What if you could BE money? What if you could BE the energy that creates, generates, and produces money? If you could change your financial reality by looking at the points of view you have about money, would you choose to do...>>

“Understanding Understanding: Essays on Cybernetics and Cognition” by Heinz von Foerster

"In these essays Heinz von Foerster discusses some of the fundamental principles that govern how we know the world and how we process the information from which we derive that knowledge. Included are path-breaking articles concerning the principles of computation in neural nets (1967), the definition of self-organizing systems (1960), the nature of cognition (1970), as well as recent expansions on these themes (e.g. "How recursive is communication", 1993).

“Bullspotting: Finding Facts in the Age of Misinformation” by Loren Collins

"This entertaining and educational book applies the tools of critical thinking to identify the common features and trends among misinformation campaigns.

Readers will learn how to make these critical distinctions and also how to spot "evidence" that has...>>

“The Weiser Concise Guide to Alchemy” by Brian Cotnoir

"In The Weiser Concise Guide to Alchemy, Brian Cotnoir offers a detailed, step-by-step introduction of Alchemy that explores its mysteries while illustrating its use as a modern spiritual system of attainment. He provides an overview of the history of Alchemy, from the first meldings of Egyptian technology, through the Middle Ages—the golden age of alchemy right up to contemporary techniques. He demystifies the relationship between Alchemy and chemistry, and he provides evidence to detractors that Alchemy is much more than a medieval form of psychotherapy. (The guide includes practical laboratory experiments that safely, and intelligently, lead readers to an understanding of this ancient art and spiritual practice.) The Weiser Concise Guide to Alchemy is replete...>>
