Both folklore and real-life stories are filled with the lengths-and the depths-that people have gone to find and then hang onto love. And both are filled with the despair when they fail to do so.That is where A Lion's Hunt is a lifesaver and a game changer. In evocative, straightforward language, Sanchez shares his personal journey through heartbreak and the hard-won, transformative lessons he learned along the way. He reveals why subconsciously your present relationship competes with your past relationship, and if that is actually a positive thing, as well as the importance of obtaining closure of a former relationship before becoming involved in a new one. But the key foundational quality of a healthy love relationship is self-respect, and Sanchez shows you why that is and how to achieve that. Hopeless romantics of all ages and genders will find in these pages that true romantic love is not hopeless after all. A Lion's Hunt is the perfect guide to help them rejuvenate their love relationships, beginning with their relationship with themselves.

The concept of free will has long been accepted in society as the controlling force behind human behavior, and it is regarded as a fundamental truth within the Christian faith and other religious dogmas. But what if free will is a myth? When biophysicist Bruce Lehnert started to question the notion along with the legitimacy of his prior faith-based religious teachings, he discovered the scientific reality he sought. In The Irresponsible Human, Lehnert turns the assumption of free will on its head. He does so by providing scientific evidence in support of the book's deterministically premised Central Thesis. That is, humans have no conscious or unconscious control over their thoughts, intentions, and physical actions. Lehnert adheres to the deterministic laws of cause and effect, which he summarily calls the "Law of Must", without deviation in his analyses. The results lay bare the fallacy that humans possess the capability to consciously regulate their mental and physical behaviors. Instead, all evidence indicates we are controlled by our unconscious minds over which we also lack regulatory dominion.¿Accordingly, humans are not responsible for their mental and physical behaviors, thereby providing us all with an excuse as need be for all prior errant judgements and actions. Further, the validity of the Central Thesis puts an end to free will as a fundamental foundation upon which Christianity and other religious dogmas are based. Instead, our hope resides in our choice selections, which both prescribe and are our individual destinies.
