This book is interesting because it challenges the existing paradigm…not by countering it with some rebellious concepts, but by making one think about how the world is (culturally) and where we can be. Its astonishingly unique concept allows those with an open mind to consider the world and our role in it and how we can grow that culture (or religion) to strengthen our fundamentals and society at their core. It’s an exceptional way to think of how we foster community and what can (and does) impact us.

The fact that there is a whole series written like this is fantastic. Worth reading! After all, it might change your whole perspective, “[we’ve already hit the iceberg].”… (plus d'informations)

The Pragmatist’s Guide to Crafting Religion by Malcolm Collins and Simone Collins is a piece of work meant as a guide on how to build a better culture/religion that is evolutionary and "intergenerationally durable". One of the aspects that I found interesting is that, although the authors talk about various subjects concerning our culture, they mainly focus their attention on the decline of fertility that happens all around the world, to the detriment of others' beliefs and assessments of these events, where the decline of population is seen as a must for the prosperity of the earth.

Here’s my review of this book I just finished, The Pragmatist’s Guide to Crafting Religion by Malcolm and Simone Collins. Man, it's a game-changer! It's like they're saying, "Hey, you! Yeah, you! You've got the power to shape your own belief system. How cool is that?"
This isn't your typical guidebook. It's more like a treasure map to your own spiritual journey. You're not just reading; you're exploring, digging deep into the world of faith and spirituality. It's not about following a set path; it's about carving your own. And the Collins duo? They're not here to spoon-feed you answers. They're here to make you think, to question, to introspect. It's refreshing, really.
So, what's the big takeaway here? Well, it's that creating your own religion isn't just some whimsical idea. It's a profound, life-changing process. And this book? It's like your compass, guiding you through this journey with insightful commentary, practical advice, and some real brain-teasing questions. Who would've thought critical thinking and religion could go hand in hand, right?… (plus d'informations)

It's a generally fascinating and interesting book. I am not one to read much about religion; however, this was really different to me. The book challenges conventional perspectives on religion and offers a fresh approach to address various issues. The author looks into practical strategies that are truly mind-opening.
I usually do not like reading about religion, but I do like to keep myself aware of what people think and what they say. I think this would be great as a podcast or an audiobook.

If you're interested in exploring religion, culture, and long-term societal flourishing, this book is a definite must-read. It's a compelling and thought-provoking journey that will expand your understanding of these subjects.… (plus d'informations)
