Footnotes 1.1. See the very highly recommended (for anyone interested in dietary change) Life Without Bread thread for discussion, excerpts (from many sources) and sharing of experiences with a paleo diet transition over time. The thread "Ketogenic Diet - Path To Transformation?" is likewise essential reading; it follows up on

the former thread with the further ongoing experiences and learning of the network. 1.2. The book The Vegetarian Myth discusses, with scientific backing, the problems (both dietary and ethical) inherent in a vegetarian diet, including how agriculture as practiced around the world ultimately destroys the very conditions required for life. It gives clear and valuable perspective, and the thread discussing it is here. 1.3. Fiber Menace is available online at the author's site. It elaborates a very important piece of the dietary puzzle: The detrimental role of fiber in people's

diets. See the Life Without Bread thread (note #1.1) for context, more information and general discussion. 2.1. The thread "The Adaptive Unconscious" on the book Strangers to Ourselves and its concepts is very highly recommended, along with the book itself. Understanding the concepts of the adaptive unconscious, the narrative (conscious) self, and their functioning and relation to one another is essential to understanding the self as well as others. 2.2. The thread on Redirect contains the

background to and basic ideas of the writing exercizes described in the book; these are highly recommended as a practical way to address problems relating to psychological narratives (see note #2.1 for more on psychological narratives). The rest of the book deals mainly with social change (i.e. addressing societal issues using these principles) than with individual psychological changes. 2.3. Thinking, Fast and Slow (thread) addresses the same basic subject as Strangers to Ourselves (see note #2.1), but in a complementary way. It helps drive home the implications individual and collective - of how people actually function.

2.4. There are several threads excerpting and discussing parts of You Are Not So Smart; each deals with how people actually function, as opposed to how people think they function, and with some of the implications and each is well-worth reading, as is the book itself: (1) "Rational? Logical? Objective? Maybe not..." (2) "Do you know when you are lying to yourself?" (3) "Are other people REALLY looking at you?" (4) "The Third Person Effect" (5) "Why Nobody is Doing Anything About the State of the Planet" 2.5 What Makes Your Brain Happy and Why You Should Do The Opposite (thread) is another

cognitive science book which can serve as a supplementary read; it covers a bit of everything (though generally in somewhat less depth) and ties it to everyday life with examples and anecdotes. The main theme is that of the human brain's blind striving to be in a "pleasant" state, and some general strategies for dealing with its pitfalls. 3.1 In An Unspoken Voice (thread) addresses trauma and the process of recovery from a body-centered perspective, with neuroscience and behavioral studies at the foundation of its theory. It ties into and complements the Narcissism "Big Five" books in providing an understanding of

trauma and how it affects the nervous system - and through it, the entire body. 3.2 The Archaeology of Mind is Panksepp's latest exposition on affective neuroscience. It describes the role of seven basic emotional circuits that we share with other mammals, that are the foundation of all our basic emotions, and which in very large part drive us - as they do other mammals. The thread quotes Panksepp's earlier work, named Affective Neuroscience; the later book is both an update and a popularization. 3.3 A thread on Social Intelligence can be found here.

This book gives an overview of the neural underpinnings of interpersonal functioning, including empathy. It more describes the "big picture" than the technical details. 3.4 The Polyvagal Theory (thread) presents a highly important collection of scientific papers on the behavioral and regulatory role of the autonomic nervous system, especially in an emotional and social context. It gives a valuable in-depth view, but is also the "heaviest" read in this section; the books listed before it might ease the reading in introducing some relevant concepts and terminology.

3.5 Trauma and the Body (thread) further describes trauma, its effects, and in effect how we are programmed by it, and describing an approach to therapy focusing both on cognitive and somatic aspects. The neuroscience and behavioral knowledge conveyed complements that conveyed by the other books in this section. 4.1. There's a thread with excerpts and discussion regarding the concept of the negative introject from Trapped In The Mirror. (The book addresses much more.) The discussion explores this along with other ideas and material, including such that relates to selfperception, The Work and more.

4.2. Previously, George Simon's earlier book In Sheep's Clothing was listed among the Narcissism "Big Five". His later bookCharacter Disturbance (thread with excerpts and discussion) essentially contains the same material and more, being wider in scope, and so obsoletes the previous book. Those who haven't read the newer book are recommended to do so. The previous book remains an optional read for those who would like a partial summary and some additional illustrative examples of covert-aggressive personalities. (For French readers, there is a French translation of the excerpts in the thread here.)

6.1 A thread on (and including a link to a download of) The Caricature of Love can be found here. This book discusses distortions or "caricatures" of love and sexuality; though written without the knowledge of ponerology, it shows the mindset and influence of pathological characters. The thread provides some much-needed context and describes the significance of this book. 6.2 Making Sense of People was mentioned, excerpted and the material discussed in the "The Adaptive Unconscious" thread (see note #2.1). It describes the categorization of personality in a practically useful way, as well as

the joint environmental and genetic basis of personality formation, and the question of character and character development. 7.1 The 5th Option (thread) examines life and its origins from an engineering perspective, proposing a Rational Design Hypothesis (not to be confused with Intelligent Design). It describes life as an evolving, Living System with a purpose to be discovered. 11.1 A thread on the first book in the Secret History series is here. The first book is followed by a series of volumes more or less independent of it, the first of

which is Comets and The Horns of Moses. The Comets and The Horns of Moses thread can be found here. 11.2 A thread on The Apocalypse can be found here. This book describes and references the evidence for a long history of catastrophes, our present situation in relation to these and what is likely to come. 16.1 A thread on The Noah Syndrome can be found here. This is Laura's first and longunpublished book; some passages may be recognized from their appearance in The Wave series and in the first Secret History book.

16.2 A thread discussing this book of Rupert Sheldrake (variously published as either The Science Delusion or Science Set Free) is here. The book is concerned with the problem of materialist doctrines in mainstream science and the need to take consciousness into account.
