• Life-Changing, for some .........
  this book will never be beat. This was my introduction to John Perkin's books and I went on to read all the others; Shapeshifting, Psychonavigation, Confessions of an Economic Hitman, being my other favorites and just as good. This book though is a great introduction to Amazonian Ayahuascuero Shamanism, a practise that is still very strong while other branches of Shamanism, have, in a word, failed.

• John Perkins
  Perkins is a 50 plus year old former International businessman who made the transition from a tool of the modern day robber barrons to a spiritually concerned member of the human race. I suggest that his books be read in the order of their publication to really understand the mans evolution. His body of work should be in the high schools of all the countries that are sucking up the worlds resources. Then, maybe, with a generation of informed people the planet can change it's course from a head on collision... more info

• A New Way of Viewing the World
  This book is for those of you who recognize that there is something inherently wrong with the way our society operates. Even if you don't recognize it, this book will shed light on a myriad of problems. We can all learn a few things from indigenous people, and Perkins is a level-headed expert on the subject. Short and easy to follow, this book is a must read!

• False and Deceptive -- Doesn't Even Mention Shuar Violence and Head Hunting!
  This book needs to be labeled fiction and it totally misrepresents the indigenous South Americans about whom he's talking. The native Amazonians he visits have a well-documented history of head hunting and raiding until very recently! These groups survived colonialism because they retreated deep into the rainforest, and because they were extraordinarily violent towards outsiders, other fellow Amazonians, and especially to their own women.
  It's insulting that Perkins remakes these indigenous Amazonians... more info
