Why do we cross our fingers, avoid walking under ladders, or whisper “knock on wood” after saying something hopeful? Even in a modern world of science and logic, little rituals like these continue to shape our daily lives. We laugh at them, shrug them off, and sometimes do them without even thinking. But behind every quirky superstition lies something deeper: a glimpse into how the human brain works, how culture shapes belief, and how we cope with uncertainty.

The truth is that opioids can be both life-changing and life-ending, sometimes within the same life story. That is why this book exists. Opioids: The Good, The Bad and the Very Bad is a clear, compassionate guide to one of the most complex health issues of our time.

Humanity’s greatest ambition may also become its deepest moral test. We are on the brink of creating artificial intelligence that doesn’t just calculate or mimic — but truly feels. When that threshold is crossed, the question will no longer be what AI can do for us, but what its very existence might cost.

Between Emptiness and Being: The Buddha and the Western Mind is a profound dialogue between two civilizations of thought — the contemplative East and the analytic West.
