Can yoga and meditation unleash our inherent supernormal mental powers; such as telepathy; clairvoyance; and precognition? Is it really possible to perceive another person's thoughts and intentions? Influence objects with our minds? Envision future events? And is it possible that some of the superpowers described in ancient legends; science fiction; and comic books are actually real; and patiently waiting for us behind the scenes? Are we now poised for an evolutionary trigger to pull the switch and release our full potentials?Dean Radin; Director of Research at the Institute of Noetic Sciences (IONS) and bestselling author of The Conscious Universe; presents persuasive new experimental evidence for the existence of such phenomena. He takes us on a thrilling scientific journey and challenges outdated assumptions that these abilities are mere superstition. Focusing on Patanjali's mysterious Yoga Sutras -- 2;000 year-old meditation practices believed to release our extraordinary powers -- Radin offers powerful evidence confirming that sometimes fact is much stranger; spookier; and more wonderful than the wildest fiction.

Told about the day to day duties in protecting the President and politicians. Some gossip about past Presidents; Vice Presidents and their families. Scary part about the book was where Kessler talked about agent attrition rates; mis-management by Secret Service managers; lack of funding; security short cuts. If half the things mentioned in the book are true then one day a President or Vice President will be assassinated.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. SS Bullcrapping AgencyBy tylerFull of informative tidbits and interviews that I found to be thoroughly engaging. The history and conundrum of that is the Secret service; it ability to perform the job required whilst undertaking massive financial challenges and a whole new world of threats. Highly recommended. Only issue I that was; at various points in the book was the repetitive theme of “cutting cornersâ€; and I get that this is the message the author wanted to elaborate on; however it began to wear on my interest.Still; a great read.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. One half is devoted to inside stories; the other half is devoted to criticizing the secret service (over and over)By Roger A. GrimesFairly good read; but the author seems to have Presidential biases at times; plus half the book (or more) is used to criticize the secret service. I think he did this to get the many secret service agents agree to talk to him. I bought this book because I wanted to read exciting; inside stories on the men and women they protect...and half of this book is about those stories; but the other half seems like a vendetta from former disgruntled employees. Reading this book out of context would have you think that Secret Service is just lucky that no protectee has been harmed in decades. I'm glad I read this; but it would be better with only one chapter (or none) devoted to disgruntled ex-employees.
