Back to Sanity: Healing the Madness of Our Minds

Steve Taylor actually codifies the problems of humanity that have been alluded to for centuries by the Tao Te Ching, Buddha, Christianity and many others. And, more than simply outlining the problem, he offers clear options for choosing another way of being. What this book does is shine a very bright light on the dichotomy of how we actually behave vs the way we SHOULD behave. If it weren't for the fact that well over 90% of our 'hallowed' institutions would be laid bare for what they really are, this book would be in every high school kids backpack, on every desk and in every library and religious institution in the world.

I love Steve Taylors books and have learned so much from his research into our minds. You will get a great perspective on spirituality that can greatly help understanding the "humania" condition.I would have give it 5 stars but for the fact that I don't agree with Steve's views on global warming and destroying the planet mentality which I consider another manipulative, political ideology bent on controlling peoples lives like most of the worlds man made dogmatic religions.

This is an excellent take on the "human condition" both esoterically and literally. Well written, explained and easy to follow. Its one of those books you can't put down. It makes sense and resonates.

Steve Taylor writes about how the ego is ultimately the cause of our suffering. Upon reflection I can see the signs everywhere. Is salvation for humanity possible? Maybe. He has some very excellent suggestions how to transcend our selfish egos and live in wholeness.

This has to one of the best books I have ever read. Incredibly well written and explained, no nonsense, just beautiful truths about the amazing time we are living in.Steve has allowed an incredible story to flow through him and reading this just resonated so deeply within me.It's beautifully explained and I found myself reading bit by bit and then just having to stop to let it sink in.It's also a very practical book in that it goes through processes that you can integrate into your lives, not airy fairy nonsense but real exercises and truths. Even if you are already aware of some of the information in this book, it serves as a gentle reminder of how magnificent we all are and the creation we have evolved into.I hope to connect up with Steve at some point in Manchester to thank him personally for this little treasure of a book

Sanity is a hard thing for minds infected with Humania disease. Humania is what everyone of us have without realizing it. It is the madness of living outside ourselves with constant urge to "do" something that may make us "better" than others. Once Humania gets deeply lodged in our minds, it is difficult to get rid of it. The author explains with simple clear words the causes of this disease and its ultimate cure. I highly recommend this book.

This book is both insightful and a quick read. It introduces small ways to change your outlook that will have a large influence on your life, if you so choose.

Encouraging. Steve Taylor examines a pathway toward a positive ‘tipping point’ for the human race. Individually, we underestimate our influence — for better or worse — in our own future and that of our planet.

Reading this book has allowed me to see so many things I needed to see, it has given me scope to think on things that allow me to stop the constant chatter of my mind, it is a book I have found hard to put down. I am an avid follower of Eckhart Tolle and in my opinion Steve Taylor come close second, I read his book The Fall 4 years ago.. or should I say I purchased his book and although I read it it never sunk in and the reason was I was not ready to receive the message, now I am and I have re ordered the Fall and also The waking from sleep book which again I had purchased previously but was not ready for the messages so wisely written in the books from Steve Taylor. I would recommend this book Back to Sanity to everyone as he shows how we became the society which does not seem to calm down and stop reacting and doing and how to find peace again . Cannot praise this book more.. buy it and see for yourself. Thank you Steve Taylor.

It's an interesting book to read.

Good, but nothing new

great book, well written and interesting. recommended for those looking for a calming headspace in a tumultuous and stressful world

An insightful outlook on humanity, it was very helpful to improve my mental mind. Thanks Steve!
