Utilizing insights from a new wave of biologists and neurologists, this exploration delves into how we can overcome current cultural and societal crises. It presents a novel biological understanding of the human organism, positing that we possess five brains, with the fifth located in the heart. The text emphasizes that transcending our existing behaviors, thoughts, and beliefs necessitates the dynamic interaction between our fourth brain (intellect) and fifth brain (intelligence). It reflects on historical figures like Jesus and Buddha as models of nature's potential and our capacity for transcendence. The author questions why humanity remains entrenched in a culture of violence and injustice, despite recognizing the transcendent ideals embodied by these figures. By examining our neural organization, the work addresses how we can surpass our evolutionary limitations. The latest research identifies our five neural centers, highlighting the importance of the interaction between the head brain and heart brain. This interplay of intellect and intelligence fosters transcendence, while cultural influences from childhood can hinder this process, trapping us in crises of violence. However, the author reassures us that transcendence is our biological imperative, a state we have been progressing toward for millennia.

Magical Child, a classic work, profoundly questioned the current thinking on childbirth pratices, parenting, and educating our children. Now its daring ideas about how Western society is damaging our children, and how we can better nurture them and ourselves, ring truer than ever. From the very instant of birth, says Joseph Chilton Pearce, the human child has only one concern: to learn all that there is to learn about the world. This planet is the child's playground, and nothing should interfere with a child's play. Raised this way, the Magical Child is a happy genius, capable of anything, equipped to fulfill his amazing potential. Expanding on the ideas of internationally acclaimed child psychologist Jean Piaget, Pearce traces the growth of the mind-brain from birth to adulthood. He connects the alarming rise in autism, hyperkinetic behavior, childhood schizophrenia, and adolescent suicide to the all too common errors we make in raising and educating our children. Then he shows how we can restore the astonishing wealth of creative intelligence that is the birthright of every human being. Pearce challenged all our notions about child rearing, and in the process challenges us to re-examine ourselves. Pearce's message is simple: it is never too late to play, for we are all Magical Children.

This classic work profoundly influences a generation with its insights into the nature of mind and reality. It defines culture as a "cosmic egg," shaped by the mind's need for logical order. The author offers techniques for individuals to break free from logic-based systems, facilitating expanded creative living and learning. Our understanding of the world forms a shell of rational thought, which can trap us in a cycle of reasoning that diminishes our mental power and hinders our potential. Escaping this cycle requires focus and centering, which modern society often disrupts. Drawing on the ideas of thinkers like Teilhard, Tillich, Jung, and Jesus, the author presents a way of thinking that allows imagination to transcend the limitations of current reality and progress toward a new phase of human evolution. This popular New Age classic re-emerges to challenge a new generation, encouraging the development of potential through innovative modes of thought. With a compelling synthesis of recent findings in physics, biology, and psychology, it uncovers the profound connection between mind and reality, revealing nature's blueprint for a self-transcending humanity.

"Connection Parenting" is based on author Pam Leo's seven week parenting series, "Meeting the Needs of Children," that she has been teaching for over sixteen years. The premise is that a strong parent-child bond is the key to children's optimal human development and our most effective parenting tool. Connection Parenting is a proactive approach to parenting that supports parents and caregivers in creating and maintaining the strong bonds children need to thrive.

In his groundbreaking bestseller, The Mozart Effect , author Don Campbell confirmed that music has the power not only to soothe the soul but to heal the body as well. Now he offers essential guidance that will enable parents and educators to better understand music as an aid to growth, development, mental and physical health, and creative awakening in our most precious human resource. A recent study found that visual tracking, eye-hand coordination, and other positive behaviors developed more rapidly in babies whose mothers participated in a pilot program of prenatal exposure to music. Another study found that remedial first graders who were given seven months of music instruction and visual arts training soon caught up in all subjects with an average group of children not exposed to the arts, and actually surpassed them in math. It has been proven time and time again that music is a powerful implement for stimulating a child's brain, nourishing his spirit, and strengthening his body, even prior to birth. Giving your daughter or son the incomparable gift of music helps your child rapidly and decisively reach his or her emotional and intellectual potential, and stimulates wondrous areas of mental awareness and creative discovery that might otherwise lie dormant. In The Mozart Effect for Children , author Don Campbell shows that music is the perfect tool to improve children's language, movement, and emotional skills at home, school, and play. He presents a wealth of dynamic, inventive ways for parents and teachers to invigorate a child's imagination with music, sounds, and songs, supplying simple exercises and fun activities tailored for each age group and stage of development, from prenatal through age ten. Campbell offers ideas and exercises both practical and profound, from special ways for parents to bond with their newborns to tips on fostering good study habits and stress reduction for elementary school students. The Mozart Effect for Children is an invaluable resource for any parent and every child, as well as for grandparents and educators. With Campbell's fascinating, informed, and compassionate guidance -- and with the incredible, uplifting power of tone, rhythm, and melody you can help the child in your life aspire, achieve, and grow healthier in mind, body, and spirit.
