Publisher's Summary

Are you sometimes puzzled by how people behave?

Powerful new technologies enable us to see the details of how our neural systems work. We no longer need to speculate about how genes are expressed or the nature of consciousness. Now, we can understand how the brain functions from the bottom up, how we communicate, form ideas, and behave accordingly.

This book takes you on a mind-altering journey that will help you understand the interconnections between different domains of human life: health, family, business, technology, politics, and spirituality.

Consilience is a new way to understand human beings - and everything else. Join Tom Beakbane, president of Beakbane: Brand Strategies & Communications Inc., who has helped generate over $5 billion in brand value for his clients, and discover a new way to see the world.

The narrator makes this book compelling

While the subjects within the book range from the human genome to climate change to religion and education, the underlying concepts of consilience permeate throughout. Well assembled and very interesting for the curious mind. If you are looking for drama and a single controversial point, you will be disappointed. If you are looking for modern ways to understand the oldest things, you will also be disappointed. If you are looking for the oldest wisdom applied to modern problems, you will enjoy the combination of history and current events. It is quite a ride.
