Enrique Lugo, the psychological anthropologist featured in Dr. Mario Martinez's previous novel, \u003ci\u003eThe Man from Autumn\u003c\/i\u003e, is brought back. This time, to discover a mistranslation from ancient archives in the Vatican Secret Library that could change what we know about healthspan and our concept of immortality. But before Enrique can decipher the implications of his finding, he must course five attainments necessary to reach the Methuselah Threshold: A time when the collective unconscious opens portals of interminable longevity.\u003cbr\u003eLeonardo Da Vinci envisioned the helicopter in his sketches 458 years before it was invented. Einstein's atomic theory awaited proof 44 years until instruments were created that could confirm his thought experiments. Prolepsis, an event before its historical time, describes contributions from visionaries who seem to travel back from the future.\u003cbr\u003eMethuselah lived from 687 AM to 1656 AM, presumptively, 969 years.\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003ePerhaps \u003ci\u003eThe Phoenix Self \u003c\/i\u003ecould be the prolepsis of longevity, not so patiently awaiting confirmation from the horizons of immortality. In \u003ci\u003eThe Phoenix Self\u003c\/i\u003e, Martinez applies what he discovered from his extensive research with the longest living centenarians to what we could achieve if we welcome prolepsis in our lives. The novel celebrates, that although life expectancy is advancing unimpressively slowly, centenarians are the fastest growing segment of the world's population. Join Enrique and his esoteric friends on a journey, born in fiction, and extrapolated from longevity science, to orchestrate a life abundant in exalted emotions and higher cognitions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mario Martinez\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798687033565\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/19\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 204\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.62lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.47d","brand":"Mario Martinez","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47760533029119,"sku":"9798687033565","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_84dcf2bf-9c35-46ae-9270-49d9eaaba078.jpg?v=1765513692","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-phoenix-self-mario-martinez-9798687033565","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
