Within a universe where mind has power over matter—in a global where conventional, common-sense wisdom cannot help us achieve our highest desires or get away our deepest doubts—we need to turn to the wisdom from the ancients.

In The Heretic’s Handbook, the internationally bestselling author of THE TRICK History of the World has gathered and codified ancient, key wisdom from around the world, formulating an entire philosophy on how to live a happy and effective life. An acclaimed writer and presenter, Black shows how this body of knowledge has been declared ‘heretical’ both by the established chapel 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 over and above consensual thought, rules that may initially seem crazy, even dangerous, but which contain the secrets for success, happiness and an increased state of being.
