Synopsis: In "Spiritwalker," Dr. Hank Wesselman recounts his extraordinary experiences living on the flank of an active volcano in Hawai'i. As a scientist, he initially struggles to understand a series of vivid dreams that ultimately lead him on twelve transformative journeys across time and space. These journeys introduce him to shape-shifting entities and spirit helpers, and connect him with Nainoa, a Hawai'ian kahuna mystic. Together, they explore a shared path that reveals insights into non-ordinary levels of reality and foreshadows significant environmental and spiritual challenges facing civilization. Balancing his scientific background with mystical encounters, Wesselman uncovers important truths about human evolution and our perceptions of reality.

Synopsis: In "Elbow Room," Daniel Dennett explores the complex issue of free will, questioning whether it is an illusion or if we truly possess the ability to choose differently. Drawing on ideas from physics, evolutionary biology, engineering, automata theory, and artificial intelligence, Dennett critiques traditional philosophical approaches to free will, highlighting common misconceptions. He argues that we can reconcile the concept of free will with scientific understanding, presenting a nuanced view of how we can be guided by reasons while still being subject to physical causation. The book delves into concepts of control and self-control, examines the notion of self, and questions the reality of freedom. Dennett also investigates the implications of our desire for free will, raising significant questions about responsibility and guilt. "Elbow Room" is based on the John Locke Lectures Dennett delivered at Oxford University in 1983.
