Most importantly, McAuliffe offers the vantage point from a parasite-centric view, a voice that has been previously unheard-until now. This book illuminates the role of parasites and challenges our behavioral responses to critically think and question social norms. The forgotten emotion of disgust and the avoidance of disease may be at the heart of this interplay as our innate mechanisms drive the impulse for survival. Parasites may have compounded influence in the greater dimensions of culture, where strong scientific research suggests the interplay between parasites and prejudice, political affiliation, sexual attraction, gender bias, and morality. McAuliffe illustrates the ways in which parasites have had influence in human cognition and behavior, as well, with examples of impulsivity and reckless driving. ![]() From the influence of parasites on the ability to transform rats brains to be easily susceptible to cat predation to altering web formation structures in spiders, parasites hold the power to control an animals behavior. Kathleen McAuliffe's This is Your Brain on Parasites: How Tiny Creatures Manipulate Our Behavior and Shape Society (Mariner Books, 2017) unveils the world of parasites. ![]()

In the end, no matter what particular patterns of thought we have managed to build in our minds, freedom always means transcending these personal thought patterns.īut how does one go about transcending the personal self and awakening to spiritual freedom? What is needed for this journey are succinct steps that are so universal that they can echo through the halls of any religion as well as support intellectual understanding. There are not many paths to freedom, there is only one. When we step back from ourselves, truth becomes simple. Truth is only complicated because we pass it through our habitual thought patterns. The fact is that the very act of seeking spiritual freedom causes notions of success and failure, and these notions serve only to bind us to our own self judgments: Am I growing? Have I done anything wrong? Am I meditating enough? But the diversity of our philosophies, beliefs, concepts and views about spiritual matters often leads to confusion or even conflict. Spirituality is meant to bring about harmony and peace. ![]() ![]() Bikin speechless!Īt last, 4 dari 5 bintang. Tapi setelah selesai baca, wow, endingnya sangat…sangat… mengejutkan □.
