Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Today we can find "evidence" that supports any opinion, no matter how outrageous. How are we to discern fact from fiction? Do you rely on science? How can you be certain what the science actually shows? Rather than continuing to rely on our trusted media platforms, is it time to start looking within for the answers?

This power to see for ourselves is our intuition, and we have been largely ignoring it as we have become more and more dependent on others for the facts. As a result, we now have a deeply divided and fragmented society where parties and subcultures fiercely defend their own poorly investigated truths.

Logic dictates that everybody cannot be right; however, it is possible that everyone could be wrong. Is it time to stop looking outside ourselves for the answers? Could our intuition be the voice we are looking for? Rediscovering our intuition requires us to first examine the biases in our minds and in our history.

This is a fascinating exploration into how we individually and collectively arrive at conclusions. How are anaesthesia, astronomy, the monetary system, military secrecy, and a so-called "conspiracy theory" connected? You may find the answers astounding.

Woke. An Anesthesiologist's View is an invitation for the curious to reexamine the world from a fresh perspective. Are we misconceiving reality? If so, this would not be the first time we have been down this road. See what being truly awake means to this Anaesthesiologist...
