Reading his words is like traveling back in time, and seeing that which most wouldn't dare to say. Such realistic descriptions tell us a lot about the truth behind human nature, and in this sense, remain factual even today, while allowing us to see how humanity has changed and in which direction. Casanova was a brilliant writer and highly educated, with an interesting curiosity for mysticism and the occult, which was extremely unusual for his time....more

This book is great! I read it entirely in just a few hours! It's easy to read and motivating. I would add an extra chapter to it: Don't be so self-centered that you can't learn even from people you don't admire, because you can admire their strategies and commitment to a greater life. Cardone has a beautiful family, and I believe this is also a result of his dedication, not just to business but the mastery of life. There is an extra value added to Cardone that is not revealed in this book, and it's related to his past. He failed for most of his life, until he learned to succeed and then went full force towards that goal. Not many can do this. It's hard to get up when you beat yourself for too long, especially if you are addicted to drugs. These two qualities make Cardone a greater human than how he portrays himself to be in public....more

My fault! There is no reason for someone who has been to Italy several times and understands its history from a meaningful perspective to read a book My fault! There is no reason for someone who has been to Italy several times and understands its history from a meaningful perspective to read a book written by an American. Americans not only can't understand European history logically, but they filter it through their own perspective, as if they were writing their own history. American arrogance is simply incompatible with a multifaceted view of history, and that's why their PhDs are not worth the price of toilet paper. This book is incredibly boring and doesn't even grasp the many influences that made the Romans who they really were....more
The books begin with the promise of an accurate description of sex in the context of history and, hopefully, cultural differences around the world. ItThe books begin with the promise of an accurate description of sex in the context of history and, hopefully, cultural differences around the world. It offers none of that. Instead, it is nothing more than a personal obsession with words and social expectations around words. It should be called "Words I Don't Like" instead. I find this obsession with low quality books to be an insult to authors who truly want to educate the masses. These masses rarely read anything, and if they do, they waste their time on books that are nothing more than self-obsession with the dark side of the author's unresolved mental issues. Sure, you can start that way, but do not call it a "history" of anything. There is no significant historical account to be learned here. It's a misleading and inappropriate title for a book that is nothing more than a monologue about what the author thinks. I don't care what the author thinks. Only in narcissistic nations do people think that opinions are more valuable than facts. Many authors don't want to know the truth, and the masses have no way of observing it, and books like this cast a shadow over more interesting books dealing with the same subject. Whenever the author deals with political issues or history, she does so from a very personal perspective and distorts the facts. Few people will investigate her claims and confirm that she is wrong about most of the things she says, and distorts them to fit and reinforce her own opinion. This is unpleasant. It's manipulation of the issue. The author knows too little about history. When I tried to learn more about the author and found out that she is also a lecturer, I was really disgusted. For someone who is a lecturer, she could have written something worth reading, but most lecturers are just full of themselves and can't see their own limitations. A lecturer should know that personal opinions don't make science and words don't change facts. The whole education system is a fraud if such people are allowed to teach their nonsense. I give it a negative review, not only because I learned nothing of what I expected, but because I think the author is deliberately or selfishly doing a disservice to humanity....more
This is not a trustworthy book or a reliable source of information and I explain clearly why below.
There are serious racist statements in this book anThis is not a trustworthy book or a reliable source of information and I explain clearly why below.
There are serious racist statements in this book and contradicting everything that is known about alien life on other planets, including the Pleiadians, such as, "They are human, just like us, with few physical differences. Their skin is whiter than ours as a result of higher evolution. It is a natural function of evolution that the body material becomes less dense, with less pigmentation through multiple lifetimes, and the Pleiadians are several million years older than we are as spirit-forms."
I knew this is a lie, but had to investigate it further, and the source of his information, "Billy Meier", from Switzerland, proves it when saying, in a public report entitled "Randolph Winters — New Lies, Misrepresentations, Errors and Intrigues from the USA", the following: “Billy Meier and the F.I.G.U. hereby expressly distance themselves from Winters’ deception and are able to state, after an in-depth review, that the book contains numerous untruthful details and many lies as well as misinterpretations."
The author shows a very poor understanding of life and this is visible in his own contradictions, namely, when saying: "The Pleiadians are a member of an alliance of civilizations that take advice from the beings from Andromeda. This includes thousands of different societies scattered all over the Andromeda Galaxy and our own Milky Way, creating a total population of about 127 billion people."
Are these different civilizations, according to him, all heading towards whiteness? Because the Andromedans he mentions in his book are actually blue-skinned.
The research process included is extremely poor, and the vast majority of this book is filled with harmful personal assumptions and lies about human nature, rather than references. This is clear when Winters' says, "If we recognize that these are people who lived lives before and have brought forward wisdom from previous lives, we can begin to understand why we all have different aptitudes and different levels of intelligence and knowledge."
In other words, the author recognizes that reincarnation is composed of a cycle of experiences, but relates spirituality with skin tone, and makes two obvious mistakes when mentioning white skin as the supreme color — which is not, as it is the least adapted to the influence of the stars —, and the Andromedans, as being more advanced — which are blue-skinned.
Even if he mentioned the blue skin as being superior, he would still be conflicting with the many studies conducted on reincarnation and showing that people don't reincarnate "from black to white" but rather alternatively, between all races and colors, to experience life from different conflicting angles.
His book goes against everything that was already found and studied about reincarnation. A person can be a white Christian British in one life and reborn as a Muslim in the Middle East in the next life. Are we then saying that people become more black between lives because their spiritual level decreases? This is also absurd, taking into consideration that many civilizations in Africa are more advanced than others in East Europe.
It takes about 100 pages on reading this book to find reasons not to read more. But I read everything, to give the author a chance. And concluded that the author cannot call himself a researcher because this research is filled with obvious mistakes, not to say lies. The fact that this book is filled with lies was mentioned by his own source: Billy Meier....more

There is no lineage or real rosicrucian practice. Many of the members of this school are some of the most ignorant and racist people I ever met and I refer here to top members.

It teaches them that all men are the same, all men look like the small percentage of psychopaths they have found, and the best solution is for them to learn to compete with the same level of toxicity. I give it 3 starts because it may help therapists understand the many women who seek their help. Good men don't entertain women who display these strategies, but based on the author's conclusions, these men aren't worth the time....more

Also quotes Carl Jung too much - a very outdated psychoanalyst, and not even the brightest either. I was expecting answers to the title and feels like I found a pseudo-novel on a pseudo-romance with a mysterious character that is never properly presented. The hidden power of the dark side? Where? Nowhere! Shadow? Based on Carl Jung? That's like trying to analyze the Navy Seals by describing the Spanish Armada. I got curious when seeing this book being promoted by others and found nothing worth reading. ...more
