That was kind of the cool thing about the book. I'm not a huge believer either, but I'm not a DISbeliever, if that makes sense. But the author never once tries to convince anyone to believe one way or another. And he even quotes the psychologist saying things about how it is really hard to believe in this kind of thing. So regardless of whether you believe or not, it's still kind of cool to at least read about it.LivreAmour217 wrote:Thank you once again for another awesome review! I'm not sure if believe in reincarnation, but this book sounds very interesting from a psychological point of view.

Thanks for the recommendations. This book would definitely fall into the "powers of human brains" category.Kappy wrote:Excellent review. I read a fascinating book recently (Moonwalking with Einstein by Joshua Foer) that is mostly about the history and development of memorization techniques, but is related somewhat to Going Below The Water's Edge in that it shows us that there are tremendous untapped powers in our brains. A couple of other intriguing books about the powers of human brains are The Invisible Gorilla (by Chabris & Simons) and Blink (by Malcolm Gladwell).

This seems to be a subject of interest for you.Kappy wrote:In another book I read (Use Both Sides of Your Brain by Tony Buzan), the author relates that the number of different brain patterns you can make is far greater than the number of atoms in the universe.
