    About this audiobook

    In a universe where mind has power over matter—in a world where conventional, common-sense wisdom cannot help us achieve our highest desires or escape our deepest fears—we need to look to the wisdom of the ancients.

    In The Heretic’s Handbook, the internationally bestselling author of The Secret History of the World has collected and codified ancient, secret wisdom from around the world, formulating a complete philosophy on how to live a happy and successful life. An acclaimed author and public speaker, Black shows how this body of knowledge has been declared ‘heretical’ both by the established church and by today’s atheistic intellectual elite.

    Finally, he outlines in the clearest terms possible the supernatural laws that govern our universe, and describes rules for living that take us beyond consensual thought, rules that may at first seem crazy, even dangerous, but which contain the secrets for achieving success, happiness and a higher state of being.

      I have read this author before. Has an excellent take on the subject in my opinion.
    • 5/5
      Very helpful, thank you. Cleared up quite a couple of things for me I was wondering about.
    • 5/5
      Thoughtful and compelling ...just like the other books by him
    • 4/5
      Maybe it just wasn’t for me but heretic to heretic this was like the ramblings of a madman meshed within strange and not well researched info-dumps that if you know any source languages for the topics he mentions (Hebrew, Arabic, Aramaic, koina) a lot of the info/quotes he ponders are not in their correct context so idk but I might give it another chance someday
