About the Book
The Critics Say ...

From Robert Girard, President of Arcturus Books:

I couldn't [possibly] describe this book properly [in the room allotted for a review.] Its subject - the Anomalously Sensitive Person - and its implications - ". a single mechanism, based on established principles of neurology, quantum physics and holography, by which all such (anomalous or paranormal) experiences can be explained, thus bridging the chasm between the scientific and the spiritual worldviews" - are simply too overwhelming to be contained in so small a space.

In briefest possible terms, this landmark book "investigates the links between anomalous sensitivity and other factors such as gender, (left- or right-) handedness, sexual orientation, personality and vocation." But it does much more than that, suggesting that there is a vast underdeveloped resource of genius in the 5 million ASPs in America alone, and that there is a danger that our educational apparatus and our increasing dependence on technology alone (forcing the human mind to be underused, or to suffer atrophy) will result in the loss of untold human potential at a time when the human species finds itself at its most perilous crossroads.

The book is also part of a larger work-in-progress: the ASP Project. Readers of the book may participate in it by filling out an innovative questionnaire (available on request), and having their Holistic Inventory of Stimulus Sensitivities scored so that they may determine whether they belong among the ASPs.

In short, this book is an adventure like none you've ever before embarked upon. Whether or not you are an ASP, you cannot but come away from the adventure knowing much, much more about yourself, your fellow humans, and about the almost unimaginable realm of possibilities which pertain to this 3-D world, but to the possibilities of possibility itself, in a limitless universe. We are just beginning to discover the journey that could lie ahead of us, if only we could give ourselves to making it!

I could not recommend a book more highly.
