#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • From the author of The Martian, a lone astronaut must save the earth from disaster in this “propulsive” (Entertainment Weekly), cinematic thriller full of suspense, humor, and fascinating science—in development as a major motion picture starring Ryan Gosling. HUGO AWARD FINALIST • ONE OF THE YEAR’S BEST BOOKS: Bill Gates, GatesNotes, New York Public Library, Parade, Newsweek, Polygon, Shelf Awareness, She Reads, Kirkus Reviews, Library Journal • “An epic story of redemption, discovery and cool speculative sci-fi.”—USA Today “If you loved The Martian, you’ll go crazy for Weir’s latest.”—The Washington Post Ryland Grace is the sole survivor on a desperate, last-chance mission—and if he fails, humanity and the earth itself will perish. Except that right now, he doesn’t know that. He can’t even remember his own name, let alone the nature of his assignment or how to complete it. All he knows is that he’s been asleep for a very, very long time. And he’s just been awakened to find himself millions of miles from home, with nothing but two corpses for company. His crewmates dead, his memories fuzzily returning, Ryland realizes that an impossible task now confronts him. Hurtling through space on this tiny ship, it’s up to him to puzzle out an impossible scientific mystery—and conquer an extinction-level threat to our species. And with the clock ticking down and the nearest human being light-years away, he’s got to do it all alone. Or does he? An irresistible interstellar adventure as only Andy Weir could deliver, Project Hail Mary is a tale of discovery, speculation, and survival to rival The Martian—while taking us to places it never dreamed of going.

We all know Earth is in space, and we all somehow live with the knowledge every day. We also know a bunch of other things that are simply part of living on this planet, out here in space. Some of those thoughts can be a little terrifying, and it can sometimes hurt to think about them; but many of us love to mull them over just the same. Serious issues have a history of dividing people, while sharing amusing observations over those same issues can bring us together. The topics covered in these pages are definitely serious; but the heaviest stuff is what we need to learn to laugh about the most. If you are both keenly aware of how messed up this world can be, and able to see the value in having a sense of humor...this was written just for you. This book includes previously posted (but no longer available) Thoughts That Hurt to Think blog posts and few new surprises.

An investigation into experiences of other realms of existence and contact with otherworldly beings • Examines how contact with alien life-forms can be obtained through the “inner space” dimensions of our minds • Presents evidence that other worlds experienced through consciousness-altering technologies are often as real as those perceived with our five senses • Correlates science fiction’s imaginal realms with psychedelic research For thousands of years, voyagers of inner space--spiritual seekers, shamans, and psychoactive drug users--have returned from their inner imaginal travels reporting encounters with alien intelligences. Inner Paths to Outer Space presents an innovative examination of how we can reach these other dimensions of existence and contact otherworldly beings. Based on their more than 60 combined years of research into the function of the brain, the authors reveal how psychoactive substances such as DMT allow the brain to bypass our five basic senses to unlock a multidimensional realm of existence where otherworldly communication occurs. They contend that our centuries-old search for alien life-forms has been misdirected and that the alien worlds reflected in visionary science fiction actually mirror the inner space world of our minds. The authors show that these “alien” worlds encountered through altered states of human awareness, either through the use of psychedelics or other methods, possess a sense of reality as great as, or greater than, those of the ordinary awareness perceived by our five senses.

"The guides, when they come, should bring great feelings of love. This is the true indication that a high guide is present; there are few else...The guides can only come in the space between two thoughts - in that space between the in-breath and the out-breath, that space that is the quiet pool or reservoir of the deep wisdom within." - IAM IAM represents the wisdom in each of us, and is a true teacher and friend. Written from a whole-brain perspective, The Space Between Two Thoughts is profound and accessible to individuals of all faiths and paths. With humor and compassion, this text weaves over 70 healing transmissions with commentary, dialogue, and easy to use Armchair Enlightenment exercises, demonstrating that the spiritual and material planes are not separate. What people are saying about IAM: "IAM's advice and exercises have been very useful for my personal growth and mental well-being." "IAM has made me realize that there truly is a higher power, and it cares very much about every aspect of our lives, no matter how small." "IAM tells us things about ourselves that are really helpful and transformative in a way that no one else would know. It gives us the clues or guideposts to help us transform and evolve." A realization that I gained from IAM was the importance of each person, each animal, every plant, every action, every moment. We are all interconnected."

Something is going wrong on many college campuses in the last few years. Rates of anxiety, depression, and suicide are rising. Speakers are shouted down. Students and professors say they are walking on eggshells and afraid to speak honestly. How did this happen? First Amendment expert Greg Lukianoff and social psychologist Jonathan Haidt show how the new problems on campus have their origins in three terrible ideas that have become increasingly woven into American childhood and education: what doesn’t kill you makes you weaker; always trust your feelings; and life is a battle between good people and evil people. These three Great Untruths are incompatible with basic psychological principles, as well as ancient wisdom from many cultures. They interfere with healthy development. Anyone who embraces these untruths—and the resulting culture of safetyism—is less likely to become an autonomous adult able to navigate the bumpy road of life. Lukianoff and Haidt investigate the many social trends that have intersected to produce these untruths. They situate the conflicts on campus in the context of America’s rapidly rising political polarization, including a rise in hate crimes and off-campus provocation. They explore changes in childhood including the rise of fearful parenting, the decline of unsupervised play, and the new world of social media that has engulfed teenagers in the last decade. This is a book for anyone who is confused by what is happening on college campuses today, or has children, or is concerned about the growing inability of Americans to live, work, and cooperate across party lines.
