Arjun Walia – Reading is incredible. It sparks our imaginations, enhances our critical thinking skills, improves our vocabulary, exercises our brain, and much more. While our love for reading in general will never die, it does seem that, these days, its popularity has waned significantly.
Many kids today, and plenty of adults too, can’t seem to wrap their heads around sitting and doing ‘nothing’ for any extended amount of time when they could instead experience new and intense sensory information every few seconds instead. You’d be hard-pressed to find a child (or teen) that won’t throw a fit the moment you take their cell phone or iPad away from them, and it’s not illogical to wonder if children today are even using their brains; surely the constant TV watching and time spent on social media doesn’t challenge their minds in the way that a book can. Whether you’re an adult or a child, reading is definitely a good idea; the key is to find something that interests you. The rest is easy.
The list of books below represents just a few that I’m sure readers will enjoy, so have a look if you’d like to add something new and exciting to your reading list.

“As with Dr. Radin’s previous work, this book is thoroughly researched, clearly written, and immensely engaging. Once again, he has pushed the boundaries of religion, science, psychology, and philosophy. Invaluable reading!” – Dr. Michael Bloch, University of San Francisco
Above is just one of many great reviews of this book. Dean Radin, the author, is the Chief Scientist at the Institute of Noetic Sciences. He has published a number of papers on the science of parapsychology. Topics within this realm include distant healing, remote viewing, precognition, and near-death experiences, among others.
