Overview: How to make better life-enhancing choices when environments crumble and population shifts disrupt our ways of living? Dr Griffiths takes a deep look at how our brains trick us into seeing the surface of things so that we lose sight of the deep relatedness on which our survival as groups will increasingly depend.

Verdict: Many astonishing insights follow. Body-mind dualism dissolves, as the ecological person moves with others in a renewed group-approach to thriving. Dilemmas in the standard quantum view of matter and spirituality resolve so that groups of people are empowered by the same fusion energy burning in stars to renew their power of creative choice. Human inner heart is restored over mind, to its central place, as personal values reshape the future.

All that and more is absolutely, and resolutely true and moreover Clearing a Way: Unveiling the Mental Tricks That Hide Reality by Dr. Trevor Griffiths is one of those books that once you pick it up,you simply cannot put it down.

A page/chapter turner of the highest order, what you get here throughout is something that I myself have lived with for the longest of times: Theory of mind (ToM). It is the ability to attribute mental states to ourselves and others, serving as foundational elements for social interaction. Having a theory of mind is important as it provides the ability to predict and interpret the behavior of others.

A model set out in intriguing chapters that link seamlessly to one another in a way I have not quite seen the like of many a year, many tricks, or herein the magic of how our brains work, deal with some of the most fundamental psychological and philosophical questions. What do you believe to be possible? What is consciousness? How much control do you have over your thoughts and your actions? And yet, until recently, the art of our brain magic has received little scientific attention.

So here in Clearing a Way: Unveiling the Mental Tricks That Hide Reality, author Dr. Trevor Griffiths deep dives (sometimes a little too deep for me to fully grasp at times, but not that I was shook free thankfully) in how the standard quantum view of matter and spirituality resolve so that groups of people are empowered by the same fusion energy burning in stars to renew their power of creative choice.

In short, the Doctor is in when it comes to revealing how the human inner heart can be restored over our minds eye, to its central place, as personal values reshape our futures for the better. And how we are ourselves right behind this newly-found, newly-discovered uprising.
