All the Secrets of the Brain. The Big Book of Consciousness

Vladimir Mikhailovich Bekhterev (1857–1927) was the greatest Russian scientist, a pioneer of several brain formations, symptoms, and syndromes in neurology and psychiatry. He was the first to enter the sacred of a human being—his consciousness. And he was able not only to cure even the most serious diseases, but also to manage people through suggestion and hypnosis. He explained the mystery of illusions and hallucinations—from ghosts and stigmata to sorcerers and UFOs. He understood how Christ healed hopelessly ill people. He exposed sectarians, doomsday prophets, and showmen who posed as clairvoyants.

However, his works for a long time were inaccessible to the general reading public, because Stalin ordered that they be kept in special library collections. Moreover, modern researchers accuse Stalin himself of Bekhterev’s sudden and mysterious death. But today justice is being restored, and the works of this great scientist are becoming available for study.

In this book you’ll learn many astonishing stories about brain research, about intriguing experiments with consciousness, and you’ll get acquainted with the scientist’s observations on how thinking changes depending on a person’s external and internal circumstances of life.
