Jacobs, Gregg (2003)
The ancestral mind: reclaim the power, New York, Viking.
A fascinating book that argues that our reliance on
the 'Thinking Mind' to the exclusion of what the author
calls
the 'The Ancestral Mind' has led to a preoccupation
with either the past or the future and lives that are
full
of tension and anxiety. By tapping into the 'Ancestral
Mind' he believes that we can learn to deal more effectively
with stress and live more fully in the present.
