Pure Human: The Hidden Truth of Our Divinity, Power, and Destiny by Gregg Braden
In an age where new technologies such as AI threaten to supplant human intelligence, this book explores how the qualities that make us human—emotional intelligence, intuition, compassion, and creativity—may be the most powerful technologies of all. Scientists, engineers, and philosophers alike predict we are on
track to be the last generation before humankind becomes a hybrid species, fused with synthetic bodies, AI, and computer chips. But the race to transcend the perceived limitations of the human body may come at the cost of humanity’s defining strengths—our ability to think, love, feel, and understand.
The question that we face is simple: Do we love ourselves enough to preserve the gift of our humanness? Our answer is based on the way we’ve been taught
to think of ourselves. Drawing on cutting-edge discoveries in neuroscience, genetics, and consciousness research, Braden explains this crossroads in
human history, and shows practical tools and techniques to: ~ create heart-brain coherence ~ strengthen emotional resilience ~ access the mechanisms of intentional self-healing ~ awaken latent capacities for learning and insight.
Pure Human is a journey of self-discovery beyond conventional thinking about your origins, your limits, and your innate abilities, and an invitation to
the extraordinary potential that awaits as you embrace your true humanness.
