Publisher's Synopsis
Mind-Altering Jokes: A Method To Soul Meditation is an adventure into paradox, semantics, and humor. Like Zen koans, The Eisenberg Principles play on contradictions in language and logic and provide momentary relief from normal cognitive processes. They will transport you, if you are willing, from the "comforts of cliché" to the "chasms of contradiction," hopefully dissolving a few habitual ways of thinking along the way, for people in recovery from the self-help industry Mind-Altering Jokes book is a collection of original, one-sentence jokes, aphorisms (or "laughorisms") known as The Eisenberg Principles.
In these one-sentence vignettes, the fields of philosophy, physics, and psychology are married into uproariously funny trysts of paradoxical play, each one like a piece of deluxe brain-candy which is no less serious in its treatment of the human condition as it is absurd. We are not only afforded a chance to glimpse into the thoughts of this wondrously twisted thinker, but we are also challenged to follow him into the surprising and impossible rabbit holes of language he unearths on every page.
