The Second Edition of "Modern Esoteric" has gone through a complete edit and reworking. New information has been added, and some redundant or dated material has been removed. Over a dozen new images and captions added, making this a more complete, up to date edition. Description: Winner of: Best Book Design 2014, American Graphic Design Organized into three sections?Lifeology, Control, and Thrive?Modern Esoteric examines the flaws in modern history and looks at how conspiracy theories, esoteric knowledge, and fringe subjects can be used to help change the dead-end course humanity seems to be following. The Lifeology section explores the long and storied "alternative narrative" of life on this planet. In the Control section, author Brad Olsen examines how Big Brother is here in the form of the New World Order, and how they keep the knowledge of humankind's true nature from the mass population. Finally, the Thrive section looks at all the ways humans are evolving to achieve their full potential.
