Abduction: Human Encounters with Aliens by John E. Mack
5.0
John E. Mack, psychiatrist, professor at Harvard Medical School, Pulitzer prize winning biographer, writes about the spiritual transformation of people who've experienced what is usually known as alien abduction.
With no axe to grind, John Mack looked at a phenomenon that other scientific minds judged rather than researched. Mack draws few conclusions, although he appears to believe the accounts given to him. His main focus is relating & examining the experience of the human psyche when it comes in contact with the unimaginable, how that experience is processed & continues to affect that person's existence. For anyone interested in spirituality, psychology, sociology or how the mind copes, read this book. It'll get you thinking not so much about aliens, but about human emotional capabilities.
