The veil of illusion shall be swept aside and the amazing truth this has kept from us shall set you free.

The is the second edition of the Enlightenment Trap which includes two new chapters and photography. In 2012, 38-year-old Ian Thorson's search for spiritual transcendence ended in tragedy on a remote Arizona mountaintop. His wife, a woman anointed as a goddess by an eccentric Buddhist community, held him in her arms as he slowly died from dehydration and dysentery. For Scott Carney, a journalist and anthropologist who lived in India for six years, Thorson's death was just the most recent iteration of an unspoken epidemic that connected intensive meditation and mental instability.

How can poor and weak societies escape poverty traps? Political economists have traditionally offered three answers: "stimulate growth first," "build good institutions first," or "some fortunate nations inherited good institutions that led to growth." Yuen Yuen Ang rejects all three schools of thought and their underlying assumptions: linear causation, a mechanistic worldview, and historical determinism. Instead, she launches a new paradigm grounded in complex adaptive systems, which embraces the reality of interdependence and humanity's capacity to innovate.

Every American president since the end of the Cold War has called for better relations with Russia. But each has seen relations get worse by the time he left office. Now, the two countries are facing off in a virtual war being fought without clear goals or boundaries. Why? George Beebe argues that new game-changing technologies, disappearing rules of the game, and distorted perceptions on both sides are combining to lock Washington and Moscow into an escalatory spiral that they do not recognize.

We do not see the world as it is. We see only our model of it. For over two millennia, philosophers have described this condition: Plato's shadows on the cave wall, Kant's veil of phenomena, Spinoza's confused imagination. But why are we trapped behind this perceptual barrier? The answer is not metaphysical mystery, but evolutionary necessity. Direct perception works beautifully for bacteria and simple organisms-they respond immediately to the world without models, without prediction, without the illusion of a separate self.
