DANGEROUS PURSUITS
MEDIUMSHIP, MIND, AND MUSIC

Anomalist Books
(August, 2020)

Amazon.com

WHAT'S SO DANGEROUS?

"Stephen Braude's books are known for their original and penetrating insights; Dangerous Pursuits is no exception. Ranging from mediumship and parapsychology to multiple personality and jazz, Braude is an equal opportunity challenger, taking on unconventional thinkers as well as conventional paradigms. Although his topics are weighty, his clarity of expression and his wry sense of humor make every chapter a delight to read and to contemplate."
— Stanley Krippner, Ph.D., co-editor Varieties of Anomalous Experience

"Stephen Braude has excellent factual knowledge of the psychic, the mind, mediumship and related areas, and then shares his clear and deeper thinking about what they might be, how they work, and what are dead ends in our thinking that we can avoid. He's not afraid to wrestle with complexities others skim over…like mediums who cheat sometimes, or just what is this "person" that we think might survive death. You can read a lot of Dangerous Pursuits for the pleasure of satisfying your curiosity, but you're also going to be thinking a lot more deeply as you read along. Excellent!"
— Charles T. Tart, Ph.D., author of Altered States of Consciousness and Transpersonal Psychologies

Crimes of Reason by Stephen Braude CRIMES OF REASON
ON MIND, NATURE, AND THE PARANORMAL

Rowman & Littlefield Publishers
(July 16, 2014)

Acquire this book as:
1 - Hardcover
2 - Paperback
3 -Kindle

"Stephen Braude is a professional philosopher and well established author both of books and articles who is particularly noted for two things.

One is for his work in certain Borderland areas in which topics within philosophy, psychology, parapsychology and psychiatry meet, overlap and interact (or should interact). The other is for the clarity and pithiness of expression with which he handles abstruse and difficult issues.

He has a gift for analogies, often amusing ones, which cut through layers of nonsense (often pretentious nonsense loaded with jargon) and expose the nub of a question. If Braude's views are correct – and they are certainly cogently argued – these topics are potentially of considerable and wide-ranging importance."

(Alan Gauld, University of Nottingham)

Gold Leaf Lady

This book isn’t just good, it’s excellent. Stephen Braude is at the top of the intellectual food chain in the study of paranormal phenomena..."
—Fred Frohock, author of Lives of the Psychics: The Shared Worlds of Science and Mysticism

The Gold Leaf Lady is a read not to be missed. To initiates it offers valuable updates and insights. To those inconversant with the current state of parapsychological research, it may rank as the best introduction available.”
