The Super Natural: Why the Unexplained Is Real

My third book from this store and this one might be the best. Some chapters demand a slow, careful read, and that's exactly the point. Already eyeing my next order.

Finally got around to ordering this. Every rereading turns up something I missed. It reads better in small doses — a chapter at a time with notes. Already eyeing my next order.

As someone who reads a lot in this field, I can be picky. The ideas are old but land with surprising force today. There's real depth here that reveals itself on a second reading. It assumes more background than a beginner might have. Happy enough with the purchase.

Added this to my reference shelf. The ideas are old but land with surprising force today. Will be gifting a copy to a friend.

This has been on my wishlist for months. There's real depth here that reveals itself on a second reading. I'd have loved an index, but that's on the original text. Recommended with reservations.

Strieber and Kripal present a compelling, albeit dense, argument for reclassifying paranormal phenomena as natural events obscured by limited perception. While intellectually stimulating, this book will likely frustrate strict empiricists or those seeking simple anecdotal evidence without theoretical depth. It demands a willingness to dismantle deeply held assumptions about reality, which may feel overwhelming to casual readers. Those looking for straightforward proof of ghosts or aliens without the philosophical heavy lifting should look elsewhere. However, for the serious student of consciousness and esotericism, it offers a necessary, rigorous challenge to conventional wisdom, making it essential despite its demanding nature.
