The Cosmic Serpent

DNA and the Origins of Knowledge

De: Jeremy Narby

Narrado por: James Patrick Cronin

This adventure in science and imagination, which the Medical Tribune said might herald "a Copernican revolution for the life sciences", leads the listener through unexplored jungles and uncharted aspects of mind to the heart of knowledge. In a first-person narrative of scientific discovery that opens new perspectives on biology, anthropology, and the limits of rationalism, The Cosmic Serpent reveals how startlingly different the world around us appears when we open our minds to it.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"[A]n intriguing detective story, wondrous visions and a wealth of fascinating information on genetic science, shamanism, etc...." ( Publishers Weekly)

Super interesting take

It's a quick listen, but an interesting perspective on "alternative medicine," biology, psychology, life, and to some extent, religion. I may not believe it necessarily, but I certainly appreciated the perspective and food for thought.

Mind blowing

This book is incredible. Mind-bending. Possibility-opening.
It requires a certain level of openness, but for anyone looking for a deeper path into contemplation and knowing, this is the book for you.
Thank you, Jeremy Narby.

Connected Dots

What an incredible book from start to finish. Many things observed within the book are also things I've experienced on my past ceremonies. The way it was written and presented actually helped me connect the dots to some unanswered questions I had. My only critique would be to address Epigenetics in the book since this is starting to become aware to the general public slowly but surely.

interesting perspective

not as detailed as I was hoping for but definitely makes you think about things in a different light.

Fantastic Read

Very well written and narrated. Actually listened to it about 4 times already because of the amount and complexity of information presented by the author. Perfect timing for this read for me as well as I am about to embark on my first Ayahuasca ceremony next month!
