FREEDOM: The End of the Human Condition

The fastest growing realization everywhere is that humanity can t go on the way it is going. Indeed, the great fear is we re entering endgame where we appear to have lost the race between self-destruction and self-discovery the race to find the psychologically relieving understanding of our good and evil -afflicted human condition. WELL, ASTONISHING AS IT IS, THIS BOOK BY AUSTRALIAN BIOLOGIST JEREMY GRIFFITH PRESENTS THE 11TH HOUR BREAKTHROUGH BIOLOGICAL EXPLANATION OF THE HUMAN CONDITION NECESSARY FOR THE PSYCHOLOGICAL REHABILITATION AND TRANSFORMATION OF OUR SPECIES!The culmination of 40 years of studying and writing about our species psychosis, FREEDOM delivers nothing less than the holy grail of insight we have needed to free ourselves from the human condition. It is, in short, as Professor Harry Prosen, a former president of the Canadian Psychiatric Association, asserts in his Introduction, THE BOOK THAT SAVES THE WORLD! .Griffith has been able to venture right to the bottom of the dark depths of what it is to be human and return with the fully accountable, true explanation of our seemingly imperfect lives. At long last we have the redeeming and thus transforming understanding of human behaviour! And with that explanation found all the other great outstanding scientific mysteries about our existence are now also able to be truthfully explained of the meaning of our existence, of the origin of our unconditionally selfless moral instincts, and of why we humans became conscious when other animals haven t. Yes, the full story of life on Earth can finally be told and all of these incredible breakthroughs and insights are presented here in this greatest of all books .REVIEWS I ve never felt the world more threatening, more fractious, more fissiparous, more febrile We need to think, we need new ideas, we need proselytisers, we need obsessed people, which I think Jeremy is. We need him to be questioned. We need FREEDOM to be argued, we need it to be read and talked about and understood. It may be right, it may be wrong. But you need someone as committed as Jeremy to trying to understand what gets us here Jeremy made me think afresh and think differently. I hope he does it with you. -- Sir Bob Geldof"Biologist Jeremy Griffin has dedicated the past 40 years to understanding the human condition and considering the question of how we will save our species from self-destruction. By unravelling the mysteries of human behavior, he explains the origin of our moral instincts and why humans became conscious while other animals have not. This may sound hard-going, but it s really interesting. I very much enjoyed it.

Born in 1945, and raised on a sheep station (ranch) in rural New South Wales, Australia, Jeremy Griffith was educated at Geelong Grammar School in Victoria. He matriculated with first class honours in biology and in 1965 began a science degree at the University of New England in northen New South Wales. While there, Jeremy played representative rugby union football, making the 1966 trials for the national team, the Wallabies. Deferring his studies in 1967, Jeremy hitchhicked to Tasmania, determined to save the Thylacine - the Tasmanian Tiger - from extinction. The search was to last more than six years - the most thorough investigation ever into the plight of the Tasmanian Tiger - but sadly concluded the 'Tiger' was indeed extinct. The quest genereated articles in the American Museum of Natural History's journal, 'Natural History', and 'Australian Geographic', and featured in an episode of the Australian television series 'A Big Country'. In 1971 Jeremy completed his BSc in zoology at the University of Sidney and the following year, in the same self-sufficient spirit with whch he had undertaken the 'Tiger' search, he established Griffith Tablecraft, a highly successful business manufacturing furniture based on his own simple and natural designs. It was during this time that, at age 27, Jeremy realised that trying to save animals from extinction or trying to build ideal furniture wasn't addressing the real issue behind the extraordinary imperfection in human life, which is our behaviour, and that was really needed in the world ws a deeper understanding of ourselves - so it was to this issue of our species' less-than-ideal behaviour that Jeremy turned his attention, a study that has remained his life's focus for the last 40 years. Jeremy started writing about the human consition in 1975, established the non-profit organisation the World Trasformation Movement in 1983 (decicated to the study and amelioration of the human condition), and is the author of numerous books on the subject, including the 2004 bestseller, 'A Species in Denial' and forthcoming in 2016, FREEDOM: The End of the Human Condition, his "summa masterpiece". He lives in Sidney.
