I went into this book with an open mind, curious about the research and claims around remote viewing and consciousness that Russell Targ helped pioneer. The early chapters are interesting, and some of the testing methods he describes make sense on the surface. He clearly believes in what he’s presenting, and his background at Stanford Research Institute adds some credibility to the story.
That said, I just couldn’t get fully on board. The experiments often rely on results that are hard to verify, and even when something sounds repeatable, it doesn’t feel solid. I wanted to believe, but too much of it comes across as anecdotal or conveniently vague.
Still, I think Limitless Mind is worth checking out if you’re curious about the history of parapsychology or want to see how scientists once approached ideas most of us would call impossible. Even if you walk away skeptical like I did, it’s an interesting read that makes you think about how far people will go to explore the boundaries of the mind.

I really enjoyed this book. The idea of pocket neighborhoods has always interested me, and Ross Chapin does a great job showing what they can look and feel like. The photos and examples are excellent and bring the concepts to life.
The book can feel a little scattered at times when it talks about the history, but the overall message and visuals more than make up for it. It left me inspired to think more about how small communities can be designed to bring people closer together.

I really enjoyed The Secret of Secrets. It dives into the idea of consciousness in a way that keeps you thinking while still giving you that classic Dan Brown pace and suspense. The mix of science, mystery, and philosophy works well and kept me hooked.
It feels like what you’d expect from Dan Brown, in a good way. If you’ve liked his other books, you’ll like this one too. It’s smart, fun to read, and leaves you with a lot to think about after you finish.

I had high hopes for this book, but it didn't hit me right and I wasn't able to finish it. I think I'll give it another go in the future. I found the idea interesting and did learn quite a bit.

I really enjoyed the Story and Characters. It's nothing original, but a good read for a fan of Taylor's books.

Peter returns to the Threshold Universe for another adventure. After his last book, Dead Moon, was a bit disappointing, he returns again to the Earth and provides a compelling, fast-paced story that was fun start to finish! Peter keeps you guessing from the get-go as he weaves previous content into new stories and builds on his existing universe. I can't wait to see what he comes up with next!

An excellent book on the history of AI, starting in the early days and progressing up through 2019. The author does a fantastic job explaining the key players throughout the time and weaves a compelling story of why AI can be the best and worst technology we have developed. The book doesn't get into the weeds of the technology but gives just enough information that anyone can follow along with the narrative.
