Özet

The Believer is the weird and chilling true story of Dr. John Mack. This eminent Harvard psychiatrist and Pulitzer Prize-winning biographer risked his career to investigate the phenomenon of human encounters with aliens and to give credibility to the stupefying tales shared by people who were utterly convinced they had happened.

Nothing in Mack's four decades of psychiatry had prepared him for the otherworldly accounts of a cross section of humanity, including young children who reported being taken against their wills by alien beings. Over the course of his career, his interest in alien abduction grew from curiosity to wonder, ultimately developing into a limitless, unwavering passion.

Based on exclusive access to Mack's archives, journals, and psychiatric notes and interviews with his family and closest associates, The Believer reveals the life and work of a man who explored the deepest of scientific conundrums and further leads us to the hidden dimensions and alternate realities that captivated Mack until the end of his life.

This area / these areas of subject matter is a life long hobby for me. I have been researching The Phenomenon and all which can fall under its umbrella for 30 years. This book is the deepest dive into who Dr John Mack truly was. I genuinely enjoyed the heart that Blumenthal injected into the science. Beautiful voice reading as well. Highly recommend.

A brilliant recounting of the life of pioneer thinker John Mack

it's very well written, so much so that it draws you into a subject matter, you never thought to explore.

The main characters journey, and the unfolding mystery.

a Harvard professor of UFO abductions! yep, that's what the man this book was all about. If there's one thing I dislike about the UFO topic, it's the sheer quantity of rubbish, so much so I rarely come into topic. coming across this little gem was a nice change. I had heard of John Mack in passing only, as he was the guy who travelled to that school in Africa, where a UFO supposedly landed on a school field, hundreds of kids reportedly seeing it. This gets several mentions in the book, but also follows John around many other UFO / Abduction related cases - and how these events actually impact the individual, which is very interesting in and of itself.
the guy was obviously a free spirit, despite his achieving what is arguably the top rung on the academic ladder. the book describes various drug fueled trips of his into alternate realities, as it combs through his very open & honest diary he kept, which includes fidelity issues with his wife. The overwhelming bulk though is centred on investigating/thoughts on interviewing hundreds of "victims of alien encounters", literally probing inside spaceships, and his efforts in trying to communicate these goings on, with the wider public, and his colleagues.
all I can say, after finishing the book, is I wish I could have interviewed him.

Surprisingly good - recommended for thinking sceptics

Essential reading/listening on the topic of the phenomenon and an emotional examination of a true pioneer, John Mack, beautifully written by one of the world's most respected journalists. Riveting from start to finish, I simply couldn't stop listening and was gutted when it ended despite a whopping 12 hours runtime. A wonderful tribute to a beautiful mind.
