      How Pseudo-Science and Anti-Semitism Shaped Hitler's Destiny

      • 224 pages
      • 8 hours of reading

      The book explores the profound impact of Hitler's flawed education on his understanding of science and technology, which he distorted to fit his ideologies. Struggling with traditional science, he embraced pseudo-science and the occult, leading to a rejection of Jewish contributions to physics, notably Einstein's relativity. As the Nazis politicized science, they prioritized experimental physics, which contributed to the war effort through unconventional research. This reliance on alternative facts ultimately undermined Germany's scientific achievements, setting the stage for the Third Reich's decline.

      Hitler the Scientist
    • This book advocates for the practice of non-doing within therapist-client settings, achieved by the therapist paying attention to their own intentions and leaving all assumptions behind in order to be truly present with their client. This builds the foundations of safe touch and builds upon a sense of calm intensity and its expression in non-doing.
