The New PSYCHOLOGY:

A Unified Field of Brain, Mind, Behavior, Perception, Culture...


480 Pages, 8.5X11” Fully Illustrated These are the bits and pieces that make up a deep understanding of our mind.

Psychology controls the biology of our brain. At the witch trials in Salem, when the girls began to shriek “Witch, Witch!”adrenaline and cortisol would have shot into the bloodstream of the spectators. Neurotransmitters would have surged through their brain. Their very brain waves would have shot up from 12 to 40 cycles per second. A P300 brain wave would have screamed “ALERT”. Their heart jumped. A chill went up their spine.

We know this because the same thing happens in America today among those watching a Hollywood horror movie about witches, zombies, demons, murder and more. This is basic to understanding how our brain works in dealing with anxiety, depression, politics, love, sex, interpersonal relations, and life. 
PSYCHOLOGY CONTROLS THE BIOLOGY OF OUR BRAIN. Knowing how this works is essential to understanding how our mind works. The failure to understand that has led to the media's preoccupation with claiming it is all in your DNA or biochemistry; a media preoccupied with the magic words of DNA and biochemicals in the brain cannot grasp a deeper level of understanding.
All teachers are inspired by the idea, however hopeful, that we are getting something across that someday, someway, will benefit our students, make their life better, and give them the tools that they need to understand a very difficult world.

In a critical study by Harvard, MIT, The National Science Foundation, and the Smithsonian, they found that we are often unable to get across even the most basic of ideas that we teach.

A study by the prestigious PEW Research Center found that America ranks 24th in the world in science. Why?
We still teach by rote memory and we have failed to get across the very information we need to think with.
In psychology, students flock to our courses, eager to learn the lessons of life, how their mind works, and how to understand others. They want to understand what the world is all about. Yet what they learn is often that they must memorize vast amounts of data, studies, and jargon that make little sense in how to apply what they learn to the real world. They memorize what they need to know to pass a test, not what they need to know to understand life.

These are the bits and pieces that make up a deep understanding of how the mind works. Welcome to the deep woods...

PROJET LITHIUM

 Book Cover




L’HISTOIRE Au cœur des glaces nordiques, une découverte archéologique menace de bouleverser l’histoire humaine. Élisa Torres, brillante chercheuse est appelée en Norvège pour analyser d’anciens artefacts retrouvés sous la mer du Nord. Mais lorsqu’un mystérieux silex identique est mis au jour à des milliers de kilomètres, au cœur du désert de Salars d’Uyuni, en Bolivie, une énigme scientifique et géopolitique se dessine. Entre explorations sous-marines, secrets enfouis et enjeux environnementaux, Élisa et son équipe se retrouvent pris dans une course contre la montre. Entre le passé et l’avenir, entre savoir et pouvoir, une seule question demeure : jusqu’où sommes-nous prêts à aller pour révéler – ou dissimuler – la vérité ? SYNOPSIS Ce roman Projet Lithium s’appuie sur des références variées, allant de l’histoire (conquête espagnole, civilisations perdues), à la psychologie (modèles de personnalité, éducation), en passant par la géopolitique (exploitation du lithium), la technologie (IA et énergies renouvelables), et l’anthropologie (systèmes d’écriture). L’univers décrit dans ce projet entre en résonance avec plusieurs courants de pensée contemporains, notamment : • L’idée d’une civilisation avancée et cachée (Luminia), inspirée par les théories alternatives sur Doggerland et les civilisations englouties. • Une approche éducative innovante, fondée sur des principes psychologiques éprouvés (Jung, Berne, Bandura). • Une vision technologique et écologique, proche des travaux de Rifkin et Smil sur les villes durables. • L’importance croissante de l’IA, illustrée par des références à Minsky, Bostrom et Kurzweil. Un thriller scientifique haletant où l’archéologie, la psychologie et la géopolitique se mêlent dans une quête fascinante aux confins du monde et de l’histoire.

English Translation:

THE STORY

Deep in the Nordic ice, an archaeological discovery threatens to upend human history. Élisa Torres, a brilliant researcher, is called to Norway to analyze ancient artifacts found under the North Sea. But when a mysterious, identical flint is unearthed thousands of kilometers away, in the heart of the Salars de Uyuni desert in Bolivia, a scientific and geopolitical enigma emerges. Between underwater exploration, buried secrets, and environmental issues, Élisa and her team find themselves caught in a race against time. Between past and future, between knowledge and power, only one question remains: how far are we willing to go to reveal—or conceal—the truth?

SYNOPSIS This novel, Project Lithium, draws on a variety of references, ranging from history (Spanish conquest, lost civilizations), to psychology (personality models, education), through geopolitics (lithium mining), technology (AI and renewable energies), and anthropology (writing systems).

The universe described in this project resonates with several contemporary schools of thought, including:

• The idea of an advanced and hidden civilization (Luminia), inspired by alternative theories on Doggerland and sunken civilizations.
• An innovative educational approach, based on proven psychological principles (Jung, Berne, Bandura).
• A technological and ecological vision, close to the work of Rifkin and Smil on sustainable cities.
• The growing importance of AI, illustrated by references to Minsky, Bostrom and Kurzweil.

A gripping scientific thriller where archaeology, psychology, and geopolitics combine in a fascinating quest to the far reaches of the world and history.

BONE HASH

 Book Cover Bone Hash


BONE HASH


In the vast untamed desert of northern Arizona, Aideen Connor signs on as lead archaeologist at Moenkopi Ridge hoping to find peace after witnessing her husband’s violent death. Instead, she stumbles into a mystery as ancient and dangerous as the land itself. Shortly after she arrives, Aideen’s team uncovers a “bone hash,” human bones showing evidence of prehistoric cannibalism. Her job takes on a darker turn when a brutal murder shocks the residents of the nearby Hopi Reservation. Unsettling connections begin to emerge between her excavation and the crime.

Trust from the local community fractures, threats escalate, and Aideen’s world begins to unravel. First her boss blames her when the entire bone hash is stolen. Then local Native Americans accuse her of disrespecting their ancestors. Violent threats against her ensue: a sheep is killed, viciously eviscerated and left under her residential trailer. A photo of her dead husband is stolen from her bedroom and stuck in its blood. All threats point to a grim reality: someone wants her gone.

As her desperation grows, Aideen turns to Frank Nakai, the BLM Special Agent assigned to the case. But Frank’s presence is as complicating as it is compelling, leaving Aideen torn between grief and her unexpected attraction. When Frank is ordered to return to his office in Santa Fe, Aideen must navigate a maze of buried truths with only her dog, Dakota for companionship. Every clue leads her closer to danger and the secrets buried at Moenkopi Ridge. Secrets that could cost her more than her career—they could cost her life.
