If we change the way we use our brains, can we change the world? Changes in our brain development have been reflected throughout history in the social and political worlds our brains have created. The brain is made up of many different parts, but today one part has come to dominate our thinking in the West.

Why be a one-speed automaton when you could release the incredible power of an integrated brain and mind and change the world?This book, updated for the second edition, brings together knowledge from politics and philosophy, from technology and evolutionary psychology, from science and religion, to create a new way of thinking about ourselves and the future.For a visual guide to this new way of thinking, go to http://youtu.be/90zkQddUsR0 (both zero's).
