Dave's thoughts and reviews:

Celestine Prophecy - James Redfield see this book on amazon
This is truly an incredible read. The book develops the ideas of nine insights about how we live our lives and reveals these through the fictitious exploits of the central character. As he discovers each new insight, so do you. Sounds a bit naff? Well, the writing style is not exactly advanced, and it won't win prizes for storytelling, but this approach does make the material very accessible. The thing that struck me was the depth of the insights. Some of the things I thought were deeply personal and unexpressed thoughts of mine are in this book.

The truly wonderful thing is that now I have a new set of ideas and language with which to communicate the concepts of the book with myself and others.

Einstein's Relativity and the Quantum Revolution - Modern physics for non-scientists(DVD) The Teaching Co.
I decided to risk buying a set of courses from the US. This is the first of the courses that I have bought from them and I have to say that I have been pleasantly surprised.

The course is much less culturally biased towards the US than I thought it might be and the format is not forced or naff like so many other training videos. The lecturer is in a good facsimile of a university room and it seems that there is an actual live audience in the room. Thus, he glances occasionally at the camera as if you were just another student sitting in his class. Very clever.

The content is good, and presented in a straightforward, but not patronising way. It is certainly of university level, but is neither intimidating nor presented in a stereotypically university style.
