About the Book
110 BOOK REVIEWS is a collection of more or less extensive book reviews, including quotes, that took the author several years to accomplish, and which he offers, with foremost college students' needs in mind, for a special price, a price of under fifty cent for one review. The reviews are divided in three parts: - The New Paradigm in Business, Marketing & Career, consisting of 10 reviews Here authors like Edward de Bono, Laurence G. Boldt, Tom Butler-Bowdon or Sergio Zyman are to be found. - The New Paradigm in Science and Systems Theory, consisting of 43 reviews Here authors like Fritjof Capra, Riane Eisler, Masaru Emoto, Amit Goswami, Ervin Laszlo, Candace Pert, Dean Radin, Wilhelm Reich, Rupert Sheldrake, Michael Talbot, Russell Targ, William Tiller or the movie 'What the Bleep Do We Know!?' figure. - The New Paradigm in Consciousness, Psychology, Healing & Spirituality, consisting of 57 reviews Here you can find authors such as Joseph Campbell, Deepak Chopra, Françoise Dolto, Mircea Eliade, Jonathan Goldman, Stanislav Grof, Manly P. Hall, Carl Jung, J. Krishnamurti, Charles W. Leadbeater, Alexander Lowen, Terence McKenna, Ralph Metzner, Thomas Moore, Joseph Murphy, Jeremy Narby, Michael Newton, Michel Odent, O. Carl Simonton, Hal Stone, Dora van Gelder or Alberto Villoldo. The books were carefully selected so as to reflect the new paradigm for each of the three domains examined. Most of the authors reviewed are world-famous, but there are also important authors, like the late child therapist Françoise Dolto, that are lesser known in the Anglo-Saxon world and that the author has known in person. The author has translated the original French quotes himself in English as he found the official translations faulty for various reasons. All reviews contain quotes that the author carefully selected from large quotes selections he made from each book, but could not publish integrally because of copyright. The 724 pages volume contains an integral bibliography of all works reviewed.
