About this listen

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.

Important book...

The Heretic's Handbook, though offering little new in addition to the Secret History of the World, rather builds on The Secret History by converting it into a more concise, comprehensive and coherent whole.
This may be among the most intelligent works I have yet read on cosmic principles and esoteric knowledge. However, the advantage of this is the concise and reference ready nature.
Kind of like an indispensable handbook one should keep at hand at all times.
Narration is excellent, despite not being the author, one feels as though it is.

Should be kept at hand at all times
