How is space travel like communism, science like religion, sports like cosmetics, and organized crime like medicine?

These and almost all other areas in our lives operate in a remarkably similar manner that doesn't do us any favours. The Cone Model developed by Dr. Nava Israel describes a recurring pattern in which we start with well-meaning solutions to address our needs and end up with dogmatic systems that rob us of our freedoms and worsen our problems. This book will take you on a journey to uncover the inner workings of the systems that oppress and control you under the guise of wisdom, necessity, kindness, greatness, unity, or progress. It will explore hidden truths you were taught to ridicule or ignore to keep you compliant, and help you rediscover your power and ability to build a better future as an individual, a member of your human tribe, and an integral element of this planet.

Dr Nava Israel is a lifelong innovator, entrepreneur, author, researcher, facilitator, speaker, educator, a business and academic consultant, and a social and cultural innovator with a PhD in epidemiology. She is also a philosopher at heart with an insatiable curiosity for all forms of science, critical thinking, human behaviour, patterns, social justice, true and deep healing, our place in the universe, and the intersections of all the above. When she isn't too busy promoting worthy causes, delivering workshops, speeches, and writing her books, she travels, reads anything authored by great minds, meditates through cooking, and spends time with her loving and inspiring family and friends, not necessarily in that order.

"""Dr. Israel's writing is both engaging and thought-provoking. She skillfully uses metaphors and detailed examples to illustrate complex social phenomena. ...The author's ability to connect abstract concepts with everyday experiences makes the book accessible without oversimplifying the issues."" Literary Titan""An interesting new approach to the reasons why we keep being controlled by others. CONEtrolled... offers us new tools to live freer lives. ...this new perspective shows us how to recover it."" Amazon, Luis Vicente Garcia"
