"What the Bleep Do We Know!?" is the biggest New Age movie phenomenon . . . EVER!

Now in "Beyond the Bleep", Alexandra Bruce illuminates the personalities and teachings of the physicists, neurologists, anesthesiologists, physicians, spiritual teachers, mystics, and scholars in the film, as well as the filmmakers, helping the reader sort through their theories with simple explanations of the cutting-edge science on which they are based. For anyone seeking more information on the topics presented in the film, "Beyond the Bleep" is the place to start.

From Quantum Physics to the Ramtha School of Enlightenment, Neuroscience to Time Travel, Alexandra Bruce provides easy to grasp, yet sophisticated explanations that expand upon the fascinating themes touched upon in "What The Bleep Do We Know!?"

What The Bleep Did I Know!?
As a physics buff, I generally don't find my way into the new age section of the bookstore, or even watch new-agey films. Wind chimes sound like fingernails on a blackboard to me. But all my friends were lauding about this What The Bleep movie, and so rather than get sucked into another unpleasant movie experience, I picked up this little guide book to get a sense what all their clamor was about.

I was pleasantly surprised to see some really hard science being tackled by the author Alexandra Bruce in a really accessible, welcoming way. And even the New Age stuff was pretty palatable to my rational materialist mindset.

The makers of the film should consider Beyond The Bleep a welcome gift, because not only did I go see the movie, but talked for hours with my friends about it. What a really interesting, thought-provoking film! This book helped to open the door for me to an alternate way at looking at the universe.

Whoa!
This book is a great companion to "What the Bleep?", a movie that opened a lot of doors for me but left so many unanswered questions in its wake. Just like a ship on the horizon that you can't see because you don't have a context for it, "What the Bleep?" went over some people's heads, but luckily this book is here to assist... it goes way farther than the movie, going more in-depth into the science and touching on topics like the Conscious Universe, even magick... and it even examines the "What the Bleep" phenomenon itself, exploring people's reactions to the film and the, er, "cult" that has begun to grow around it. All in all, a very well-rounded and worthwhile look at an important cultural event.

Measured, but still full of wonder
I recently watched and enjoyed the documentary "What the Bleep Do We Know?" but came away knowing that I must have missed a lot of what was said (not being a quantum physicist and all...). This litlte book is like a "Bleep for Dummies," only it doesn't pander! I really appreciate the clarity and rigor that the author, Alexandra Bruce, invested in the work. She also avoids making too many editorial comments, letting her audience draw their own conclusions. I feel I have a much firmer grasp of the film's concepts, and the book has deepened my interest in the field as a whole. I feel really inspired and motivated to keep exploring...
