We now live in the greatest information age humanity has ever known, but with so much information we also desperately need lenses like this to focus our attention on great information and ideas that would otherwise be lost among it all. My personal focus is on the most important books and ideas that have brought great insight, understanding and meaning for me about life, the universe, and everything!
Enjoy!

IMPORTANT BOOKS:
Amazon has just about everything worth reading or considering -- the modern-day equivalent of the ancient greek Library at Alexandria where all the most important works were concentrated. But it needs focus, so here are some of my best personal recommendations.
FOCUS ON "THE FINAL THEORY"
The Final Theory: Rethinking Our Scientific Legacy (Second Edition)
"The Final Theory" is by far the most mind-blowing item of all the books and ideas I have come across. It presents a simple rational and scientific new 'theory of everything' proposal called Expansion Theory, which finally explains it all! Gravity, electricity, magnetism, light, the atom and its nuclear forces, the operation of our solar system and the galaxies - it all falls open to understanding with this book! Forget about the mysteries of relativity or the paradoxes of quantum theory - they are just well-intentioned but bizarre and misguided abstract attempts to explain the universe in the absence of a true physical understanding. Read this book for the ultimate answers to every question you have ever wondered about in science or world around you, and no doubt many more!* Click the image above for a popular article about the book on the Internet followed by two full graphical summary overviews -- one of today's Standard Theory view of science (above diagram) and the other of the new Expansion Theory understanding.

Concept Animations from a Reader
"The Final Theory" has inspired a lot of reader response, and for good reason! Here are some animations of some core ideas in the book from the perspective of one enthusiastic reader and animator.
FOCUS ON "COMPLEXITY"
Complexity: The Emerging Science at the Edge of Order and Chaos
Also a classic groundbreaking book - from the '90s, and the next great leap beyond "Chaos" (see below). It shows how an astounding amount of order and complexity around us actually arises spontaneously from often very simple rules or laws followed by many interacting elements. The shapes of clouds, flocking behavior of birds, traffic patterns, and even the dynamics of life itself can be understood and even simulated in computers with this understanding. A must-read for anyone who marvels at all the order and complexity in the world and wonders how it all came to be. FOCUS ON "CHAOS"
Chaos: Making a New Science
This is a classic and groundbreaking book from the '80s that turned the idea of random chaos on its head, showing that there can be science and patterns within chaos (fractals, strange attractors, the butterfly effect, and much more). It shows that there is more to the world around us than first meets the eye! by jack_in_the_box
