Reality Check: Is the World What You Think? by Alex Altshuler

How do we know what we know? How are the mind and body related? What does it mean to exist? These questions have intrigued humanity for millennia. Reality Check presents a unique fresh approach to unraveling these enduring puzzles and other complex questions about the world. Drawing on the latest advances in neuroscience, mathematics, and psychology, the book offers a pragmatic perspective for understanding our reality.

Reality Check is a short popular philosophy book written in simple and approachable layman language and will appeal to both, nonprofessional thinkers and practicing philosophers.

Readers may discover a novel methodology for understanding the world, gaining new perspectives on topics such as existence, factual truth, meaning, mind, determinism, artificial intelligence, and more. They can further apply the book’s central concept as a framework to clarify various complex issues.

It is commonplace that our actions and decisions are guided by our accumulated and organized prior life experiences that may be viewed as constituting our internal world model. While the exact neural mechanisms of this world model formation and access to it are not well understood yet, we can still examine our world model’s operational, rather than physical account. The first half of Reality Check (Chapters 1 through 3) suggests and defines basic functional building blocks of memory, nemes, and, based on widely available scientific data, advances a convincing hypothesis of how our world model is being formed, changed, and utilized over our lifetimes. The second half of the manuscript (Chapters 4 and 5) is devoted to applying this proposed framework as a robust basis for investigating various aspects of human civilization. Such subjects as existence, factual truth, meaning, mind, determinism, artificial intelligence, and many others are reappraised from this new perspective, often bringing unexpected outcomes.

The book will challenge readers to reassess their assumptions about the world and civilization.

About Featured Book: A Pilgrim’s Guide to Walking Wisdom: 11:11 Insights by Renee Baribeau

NEW RELEASE! In spring 2024, I embarked on a life-altering pilgrimage along the Camino de Santiago, a journey that invited me to release my expectations, trust the path ahead, and embrace the unknown. Alongside fellow pilgrims—each at their own crossroads of life—I uncovered profound truths that had been gestating in my soul for over three decades. Inspired by earlier pilgrimages, vision quests, and solo retreats, this walk became more than a journey through Spain; it became a path to transformation, healing, and spiritual renewal.

In A Pilgrim’s Guide to Walking Wisdom, I share eleven powerful insights drawn from this sacred pilgrimage, insights that speak to those seeking a deeper connection to themselves, nature, and the divine. From letting go of the pressures of everyday life to rediscovering joy, purpose, and inner peace, these reflections invite you to embark on your own spiritual journey, no matter where you are or what you seek.

Step by step, the Camino taught me that healing doesn’t come from knowing all the answers—it comes from walking with the questions and trusting the path. Whether you’re in the midst of grief, seeking a new direction, or simply longing for a deeper spiritual connection, this book is an invitation to walk your own path to wholeness.
Let the journey begin. Solvitur ambulando—It is solved by walking.

The Half-Known Life: What Matters Most When You’re Running Out of Time by Ryan Lindner

“I’m going down now,” I said to a young woman a few seconds before the darkness-my first cardiac arrest. As I returned to work as a behavioral coach, it became maddening to hear about all-consuming, everyday problems and misguided priorities while I fought to merely remain conscious.

The Half-Known Life challenges conventional thinking of success, identity, and personal change. Most often, truly profound change happens following events that shake someone to their core-a car accident, death of a family member, or cardiac arrest that pulls them into a moment of clarity. Priorities change when time becomes precious. Problems look different when you have no energy left to give them. Why wait until you’re burnt out or for a life-changing event to occur before getting real about your life? Who are you when all of the accolades and accomplishments are gone? What does how you manage your time say about what’s important to you-about what matters most? Get out of your head and get into your life, before it slips away.
