About this ebook
"Get your arms around the universe, the more I review it the more I appreciate it"
"Annette Jahnel is a generous author, in her writing she leaves room for personal thought and rumination. Searching for Galileo is a book that does not drag you along and spit you out at the end, leaving you wondering what just happened. It invites you to participate in creating what could be the start of a whole new epoch of homo sapiens. An epoch in which we learn to place more emphasis on the brain than the body, as we once again, gain access to mind.
On the surface Searching for Galileo is a travel book in which the author road trips once around the USA, but at its center stands an exploration of the human brain. ‘How it thinks, what it thinks, and why it thinks what it thinks’.
Inspired by her conversations with Americans across the US, from neuroscientists to accountants, author, Annette Jahnel, uses her ability to make original connections between scientific and historical facts to come up with original ideas and concepts, making a compelling argument for how the modern thought process evolved. She coins the phrases ‘mental language’ and ‘cold climate thinking’ to describe how sudden and dramatic climatic events forced the evolution of our modern mental language, which according to the author is based on hoarding, hierarchy, heating, and body-centric self-interest.
When she digs into the history of the US and makes comparisons between the First Nations and First Immigrants her thoughts and ideas cut so close to the bone that at times I got my back up. But the book is well referenced, giving weight to her opinions and conclusions. She ends the book on a very hopeful note, making the case that we have the technology to make a paradigm shift in thinking that will allow us to create the peaceful future we all hope for.
Searching for Galileo is a book that contains a message that could not be more perfectly timed, as the USA and the world go through yet another cycle of change that could well be yet another repetition of ancient history ‘just using shinier tools’ "
“I read it and now I get it. I will read it again, it’s that sort of book, and then I am sure I will understand even more what is going down all around the world today. These pages are the playground of a mental gymnast.”
"Searching for Galileo is brilliant. It is an inclusive and thought-provoking approach to understanding how the world works and how we can improve our current state of affairs. The book tackles various spheres of our society in a constructive way and serves as a foundation of questioning and understanding that we can use to revolutionize our education system to one that feels more natural and enticing. Annette's passion for this is able to spark passion in others. Here we have a great example of someone who isn't scared of doing good work that will one day elevate us as a species."
"Let us join the author and be on the right side of history, as she is no longer alone in proposing such a radically new economic model. A similar proposal is put forward by a Professor of Political Economy in the ‘Wellbeing Economy’, where “Care [for our fragile Planet] is the pillar for measuring prosperity”, no longer growth in GDP based on unsustainable ‘consumerism’. What we now need is a critical mass of ‘care-takers’ to save our Planet for future generations. ‘Searching for Galileo’ will inform and inspire.
The travelogue sections are an additional bonus, narrated with candour and self-deprecating humour."
