The title of this book alone gives you a lot to wonder and question. Procirclism sounds interesting too and the author's repetition might help in understanding it.

Although the concept of procirclism is novel and fascinating, I don't think I can handle reading this book at the moment. Also, this book might need multiple reads to fully grasp the meaning. Right now, all I'm seeking is easy to read books. So, I'm going to skip this one.

Wow, this sounds like an intense read. Maybe that's why the author used so much repetition, like you said. When I read the sample it didn't quite sink in, but I'll try to reread it since you said it took you several times. Thanks for the review!

The premise of this book seems to be a complex one. The concept of "Procirclism" sounds like what will really give me problem to understand. However, it's a brilliant idea to decipher and explain "why we do what we do and how we can get ourselves to do what is desirable." Otherwise congrats on the BOTD!

Procirclism seems like an interesting process. I'm glad the concepts are explained in simple terms and are accompanied by vivid life stories. Count me in for this thought-provoking book. Thanks for your review!

Albertus Kral well done to this types of teachings. Today review team picked another top notch book of the day, what a non fiction book. So Kral taught us new word today Procirclism, the process of mind resulting in manifested behaviors. I believe the good review, that indeed there are lot we need to know, and brain has different untapped aspects. The book has 8 chapters, on the free sample we given only one chapter, but I enjoyed it, I want yo know more from other chapters particularly chapter 3 "THE PROCIRCLISTIC MODEL: PROCIRCLISM"
Thank you so much team review for today's book as well, and in this great book from chapter one I liked this line...

This sounds like an exercise in deep thinking. I'm not in the frame of mind for this type of book at the moment but perhaps in the future, I would find the book interesting.

It is rare to come across a book that many would consider fascinating, revolutionary and thought-provoking. I am already curious about the concept of procirclism. The book is going to my want-to-read shelf. Thanks for the informative review.

The term procirclism is new to me and it seems like the author has done a great job explaining the concept. I wasn't going to read the book since it does not belong to my preferred genre, but when you mentioned the use of mathematical equation, I was even less inclined to do so. However, your review is well written and interesting. Thank you.

I like a good non-conventional read that pushes the boundaries of our beliefs. I'm now wondering whether we really have free will. Congratulations on the BOTD.
