What does a 3,000-year-old best-seller have in 

common with Quantum Mechanics, black holes, 

Stephen Hawkins? theory of the universe and current 

predictive analytics? 

In a tour-de-force of ideas stitched together by 

impeccable research Minds, Brains and Hearts shows 

how what we think and what we feel are influenced by 

what we know and what we think we know. A key element 

in any effort of self-realization, self-knowledge begins by 

achieving perspective in who we are and how we got here. 

This is a book of big ideas tackled delicately and with 

precision. In a breathtaking view of almost 3,000 years 

of scientific and cultural history Amerland tackles deep 

questions such as: 


  • Why are we here?

  • What does our future hold?

  • How do we deal with uncertainty?

  • How did those who came before us view the world?



In the process you will find yourself questioning some 

of your own assumptions regarding the world around 

you and your place in it.
