À propos de cet audio

A peak-performance expert maps out a revolutionary new practice - hedonic engineering - that combines the best of neuroscience and optimal psychology. It’s an intensive program of breathing, movement, and sexuality that mends trauma, heightens inspiration, and tightens connections - helping us wake up, grow up, and show up for a world that needs us all.

This is a book about a big idea. And the idea is this: Slowly over the past few decades, and now suddenly, all at once, we’re suffering from a collapse in meaning. Fundamentalism and nihilism are filling that vacuum, with consequences that affect us all. In a world that needs us at our best, diseases of despair, tribalism, and disaster fatigue are leaving us at our worst.

It’s vital that we regain control of the stories we’re telling because they are shaping the future we’re creating. To do that, we have to remember our deepest inspiration, heal our pain and apathy, and connect to each other like never before. If we can do that, we’ve got a shot at solving the big problems we face. And if we can’t? Well, the dustbin of history has swallowed civilizations older and fancier than ours.

This book is divided into three parts. The first, Choose Your Own Apocalypse, takes a look at our current meaning crisis - where we are today, why it’s so hard to make sense of the world, what might be coming next, and what to do about it. It also makes a case that many of our efforts to cope, whether anxiety and denial, or tribalism and identity politics, are likely making things worse.

The middle section, The Alchemist Cookbook, applies the creative firm IDEO’s design thinking to the meaning crisis. This is where the book gets hands on - taking a look at the strongest evolutionary drivers that can bring about inspiration, healing, and connection. From breathing, to movement, sexuality, music, and substances - these are the everyday tools to help us wake up, grow up, and show up. AKA - how to blow yourself sky high with household materials. And the best part? They’re accessible, by anyone anywhere, no middleman required. Transcendence democratized.

The final third of the book, Ethical Cult Building, focuses on the tricky nature of putting these kinds of experiences into gear and into culture - because, anytime in the past when we’ve figured out combinations of peak states and deep healing, we’ve almost always ended up with problematic culty communities. Playing with fire has left a lot of people burned. This section lays out a road map for sparking a thousand fires around the world - each one unique and tailored to the needs and values of its participants. Think of it as an open-source toolkit for building ethical culture.

In Recapture the Rapture, we’re taking radical research out of the extremes and applying it to the mainstream - to the broader social problem of healing, believing, and belonging. It’s providing answers to the questions we face: how to replace blind faith with direct experience, how to move from broken to whole, and how to cure isolation with connection. Said even more plainly, it shows us how to revitalize our bodies, boost our creativity, rekindle our relationships, and answer once and for all the questions of why we are here and what do we do know?

In a world that needs the best of us from the rest of us, this is a book that shows us how to get it done.

Great

Some contradictory ironies in here, with religious faith in corrupt institutions and narratives, but overall a super solid and important work.

Best book I ever read.

Beautiful, inspiring, humbling, educational, profound, revelatory, and much more. Read or listen to this book. Revel in it. Ascend, witness, integrate. Thank you Jamie. This work of art and thought is an extraordinary gift. I have been looking for a guide map this thoughtful and comprehensive for a very long time. It is now part of my Kairos, part of my catharsis, ecstasis, and communitas. I am grateful to have undertaken this journey through your words and voice.

Amazing insights, lacking examples

Overall this was a really great book with some awesome insights, However I feel like it was lacking in physical world examples and leaned heavily on metaphors.
But maybe that was more of the point of it anyway and it’s probably worth listening to again because there’s really a lot packed into it. Enjoyable enough that I would consider it again and recommend it.

I already intuited it all!

This book is so validating and insightful for those of us who have spent decades sitting with spiritual teachers and journeying with plant medicine and doing retreats and workshops and are now just ordinary people struggling in our marriages to remember the magic of the love that is all around us.

A staggeringly vast and impeccably written book

The breadth and depth of this book is remarkable! It brought together so many tremendous concepts that are essential for realigning our human experience with the ineffable consciousness that created this experience.

I know I will return to this book again and again.

I always appreciate hearing an author read their own words. There is an authentic powerful energy behind everything conveyed in this recording.

Recapturing Me

My wife left me four days before COVID was officially announced. It took me months before I believed I hadn’t entered a parallel world. Jamie Wheal’s Recapture the Rapture is the first book I’ve been able to read in over a year. Everything else rang false or measured untrue. Jamie has integrated approaches to understanding our world I had previously seen as separate. And I consider myself holistic! This book is a reminder to show up again for a life you haven’t lost yet!

A refreshing optimistic reframe of reality

Jamie Wheal does a great job of outlining a potential model for navigating conciousness in our strange times. His carefully laid out scientifically backed strategies leave the power in the hands of the reader to amalgamate the tools provided on their own, for what works specifically for them. He's careful to explain the reason for his choices and does a good job to never demonize ones that seem "far out" or have been demonized in the past. Over all, great and useful information, packaged in a engaging and interesting read (or listen in this case).

Author bias negatively impacts delivery

I wanted to like this. I am forcing myself to finish when I am in the right state of mind, because I am aware there is interesting knowledge buried in this book.
I didn't find any inspiration. There also appears to be some hypocrisy at work here. Disappointed.

An over educated man with a problem

I gave up continuing with the book although I skimmed towards the end after he gave a pornographic graphic description of a Muslim warlord doping his followers and having courtesans sexually stimulate them. Beyond creepy. Don’t know what the point was here. Left me with the feeling that an over educated man, but emotional crippled, can be a very dangerous thing when writing a book on recapture the Rapture especially when he Admits that he can’t relate to the transcendence of Buddha and the Taoists.
