“A renowned European archaeologist and internationally best‐selling author, Brian Haughton is taking readers on a journey of a lifetime in his new book … From the 8,000‐year‐old stone circle of Nabta Playa to India’s magical Taj Mahal, from Rhode Island’s controversial Newport Tower to the enigmatic Royston Cave in the UK, the strange medieval castle‐village of Rennes‐le‐Château and the ancient walled city of Great Zimbabwe, this is an absorbing and meticulously researched exploration of the archaeology, history, and mysteries of 35 ancient places worldwide.”

“The spellbound intimacy between Yogi and radiant God who, in the somatic context of Tantra is called Shiva, “transforming God: or Kundalini, “Mothering Goddess,” draws them ever-closer. Limb-stretching and spinal-twisting longings and fulfillments emerge as the bodily asanas and mudras (Yoga postures and “delight gestures”), permeated by a fundament of ever maturing virtues (yama-niyamas.) Awe-struck breathing becomes pranayama (carefully savored or extended breath) or anahata-nad (ecstatic utterances, inaudible sighs.) “

“If you are looking for a way to make your final working years better than all that have come before, this book is for you.

“In a milestone for the $10 billion Large Hadron Collider’s ambitious bid to reveal details about theoretical particles and microforces, scientists at the European Organization for Nuclear Research, or CERN, collided the beams and took measurements at a combined energy level of 7 trillion electron volts… In a control room, scientists erupted with applause when the first successful collisions were confirmed. Their colleagues from around the world were tuning in by remote links to witness the new record, which surpasses the 2.36 TeV CERN recorded last year.”

“Doctors are experts in the inner workings of the human body. They put pieces of the puzzle together by combining the results of a physical examination, imaging studies and lab tests to come up with best possible cause of the problem based on a set of calculations and rules. Dr. Judith Orloff explains what it means to be a ‘Medical Intuitive”. She talked about how, as a psychiatrist, she can use her observations of everything from body language to gut instinct (or “intuition”) to augment her treatment of a patient.”

“A recent survey finds that 71 percent of people between the ages of 18 and 49 admit they text or talk on the phone while they drive…Nearly 500,000 people are injured and 6,000 are killed each year because drivers are talking, texting and e-mailing behind the wheel.”

“Bhagwan Rajneesh , a Jain professor-turned-guru, attempted, by far, the most radical modernization of Sanatana Dharma. Side-stepping Hatha Yoga as too rarified for these times, his eclectic “neo-tantra” surfed the 1960s-80s wave of sexual liberation, emotive therapies, and the psychedelically-inspired longing for instant God-consciousness. Cheered and jeered as saint and charlatan, his Rajneeshpuram, Oregon commune collapsed scandalously in the late 1980s under the weight of this impossible dream, shaking some 200,000 Rajneeshees, world-wide .”

“Successful Entrepreneurs understand the importance of continually stepping outside their comfort zone…When you understand the concept of the comfort zone, you also understand that it applies to every area of our lives. This is where the excitement in life is – outside of our comfort zone! We can’t learn a concept, and not have it affect every area of our lives. That is what personal growth is all about.”
