Review title: Very Disappointing
Product review: I had great hopes for this book, because I am studying Shamanism and trying to adapt it to modern life. This book isn't about Shamanism. It is about text-bites (53 attributed quotes in the Introduction alone) and a bunch of rambling new-age ideas that boil down to: 1- We're destroying the planet; 2- Our negative thinking is destroying us; 3- Prehistoric cultures were much smarter than we are now; and a miscellany of unproven new-age assertions, such as Florida is a Hurricane magnet because of the negative thinking and karma of all the military bases down there; Our DNA serves as a "communication interface porthole to every species in our universe, serving as a radio-TV-computer-like chip implant.";and Angelic beings from Orion are our overseers. If you are looking for a vast compilation of short quotes from other authors, this is your book. Otherwise, keep looking. There are many better, more focused books that cover the ideas with greater depth and clarity.
