About the Book

Here, in a series of riveting essays, he invites us to 'take another look' at a variety of the central and not-so-central issues: the evolution of consciousness, the nature of the self, multiple personality disorder, the placebo effect, cave art, religious miracles, medieval animal trials, the seductions of dictatorship, and much more.

Review :
`Review from previous edition No other theoretical psychologist is so accessibly clear, and at the same time so provocatively philosophical ' Lorna Sage `His style is by turns elegant, intimate and entertaining. . . This is a far cry from those worthy but tedious collections that one finds gathering dust on library shelves; it is a real page turner' www.human-nature.com 26/02/2002 `Nobody else brings such an astonishing range of knowledge to bear on these issues ' Daniel Dennett `Humphrey's distinctive prose is the golden bowl in which his ripe and shining theories are held. ' Antonella Gambotto `admirable' Derek Steinberg, Holistic Health
