Cette semaine dans La Grande Librairie, Boris Cyrulnik, Aurélie Silvestre, Paul Gasnier, Agnès Desarthe, Antoine Sénanque et Dan Brown interrogent la résilience et le pari des mots, des récits, de la littérature pour s'en sortir.
Why does information architecture remain misunderstood despite being fundamental to digital success? In this episode, information architect Dan Brown (Curious Squid) joins Noz Urbina to explore how IA goes far beyond website navigation. Using examples from taco truck franchises to enterprise fleet management, they discuss how structuring information around user questions can improve customer satisfaction, drive efficiency, and support business growth across all channels. "When people ask me for a definition of information architecture, I describe it as the practice of designing structures... creating these frameworks that enable people to interact with information regardless of where or how that information exists." – Dan Brown
Last month at the Hamburg Literature Festival, I heard Dan Brown discuss his latest novel, a thriller that explores what happens to consciousness when the body dies. But this isn't just fiction. The book weaves together real neuroscience research, declassified CIA experiments, and a theory that challenges everything we think we know about the mind.What if your brain doesn't create consciousness but just receives it? What if the reality you perceive is heavily filtered, and death simply removes that filter? And what happens when intelligence agencies try to weaponise these ideas?In this episode, I break down the science behind nonlocal consciousness theory, the GABA filter mechanism, near-death experiences, sudden savant syndrome, and the CIA's decades-long experiments with remote viewing. Whether these ideas resonate as cutting-edge science or elaborate pseudoscience, they raise questions we all face: What are we? And what happens when we die?Key concepts: Nonlocal Consciousness Theory — Consciousness as a fundamental universal element, not generated by the brainGABA (Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid) — The neurotransmitter that filters reality and prevents sensory overloadCocktail Party Effect — How we hear everything but only consciously process what mattersHabituation — The brain's energy-saving mechanism that ignores constant stimuliNear-Death Experiences (NDEs) — What happens when GABA levels drop to zero before deathOut-of-Body Experiences (OBEs) — Consciousness detaching from physical constraintsPostictal Bliss — The expanded consciousness state after epileptic seizuresRetrocausality — The theory that effects can precede causes; time as non-linearSudden Savant Syndrome — Acquiring extraordinary skills after head injuriesCIA Stargate Project — The real Cold War program studying remote viewing (1970s-1990s)Threshold Project — The fictional CIA program weaponising consciousness through brain-machine interfacesH2M Interface — Human-to-Machine brain interfaces based on nanoelectric biofilamentsRemote Viewing — Using consciousness to perceive distant locationsPsychonauts — Test subjects whose consciousness operates at the edge of deathBooks Referenced:The Secret of Secrets by Dan BrownThe Lost Symbol by Dan BrownThe Doors of Perception by Aldous HuxleyThe Wreck of the Titan by Morgan Robertson (1898)Ecclesiastes (Biblical text)
This episode is for you if you've ever been fascinated by the mysteries of the mind, the magic of synchronicity, or if you loved Dan Brown's The Da Vinci Code and are curious about his brand-new thriller The Secret of Secrets.I'm not usually a thriller reader, but when Dan Brown announced a new book set in Prague, the mystical capital of my homeland, I knew I had to read it. And I was surprised to find that the story didn't just revolve around secret societies, ancient symbols, and conspiracies (though they're all there, of course!). This time, the focus is on something very close to my heart as a clinical hypnotherapist and lifelong mystic: consciousness.In this episode, we explore some of the real research woven into the novel, including: ✨ Presentiment studies — how the body reacts to future events before they happen ✨ The Ganzfeld experiment — one of the most debated telepathy studies in parapsychology ✨ Psychologist Daryl Bem's “Feeling the Future” experiment on retrocausality and memory ✨ Near-death experiences and other so-called anomalies that suggest consciousness may extend beyond the brainWhether you're a Dan Brown fan, a lover of mysticism, or simply curious about what science is discovering about the mind, this episode will give you a fresh perspective on what it means to be conscious.And don't worry, there are no spoilers here. You'll still be able to enjoy all the twists and mysteries of The Secret of Secrets for yourself.Claim Your Free Hypnosis Recording: "Crowned in Confidence"
Timo sagt: es tut mir leid an die beiden Studenten, die den heutigen Tag mit mir verbringen mussten! Chiropraktiker, das „Einrenken“ und das Knacken der Gelenke und der Placeboeffekt dahinter - wir sprechen über Knack ASMR und das Video von #AliciaJoe zum Thema. Anschließend geht es um Ozempic - die Abnehmspritze mit Wirkung, Nebenwirkung und therapeutischem Nutzen. Nach einer Hörermail gehen wir auf die Realität im Leben vieler Ärzte. Danach beschäftigt und die Frage nach Krankschreibungen ab Tag 1 und die Frage, ob es kein Krankengeld mehr geben sollte? Wir sind uns sehr einig! Wir sprechen aber auch über den neuen Dan Brown und senden Grüße an den Kanzler!Timos Song bei Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/intl-de/album/05V3lQXxyXEO7KBD7Bmh1i?si=xy5ml_7oRNucYhJYlVCvSwWenn ihr Teil unseres Podcasts sein wollt: schreibt eine Email an info@mtma.tv und erzählt uns eure Geschichte, stellt medizinische Fragen, verteilt Lob und oder auch Kritik!

Die Nostalgie ist ein Laster, welchem man sich versagen sollte. Denn für jedes Vergnügen, was uns im “Damals!!” genommen wurde, sagen wir: Rauchen in Flugzeugen, gibt es im Heute Ersatz. Hier: Internet in Flugzeugen! Ja, vorbei sind die Zeiten, in denen man sich in der Flughafenbuchhandlung eine Packung steuerfreie Lucky Strikes und einen dicken Dan Brown holte, um den Transatlantik-Flug zu überstehen. Heute kauft man sich für das gleiche Geld einen Internetpass und kocht sich über den Wolken das Hirn weich mit acht Stunden TikTok-Videos-Swipen. Das ist, zugegeben, deutlich gesundheitsschädigender als eine Schachtel Luckies (für alle Beteiligten), aber irgendwas ist ja immer.Dennoch kann ich nicht umhin, einen Verlust wirklich zu betrauern: den Verlust eines intellektuellen Vergnügens, einer albernen Freiheit, eines ungefährlichen Spaßes. Nein, Axel, Polenböller ist falsch. Es geht um die gute alte Verschwörungstheorie. Noch in den 2000ern habe ich Nächte damit verbracht, mir auf YouTube wilde Vorträge zu 9/11 anzuschauen. Tagelang hatten alte weiße Männer in Hobbykellern CNN-Footage solange zusammengetoastet, bis die Videorealität mit ihrem Weltbild in Kongruenz war und niemand hat sich einen Kopf gemacht, ob man beim Abrufen der Kunstwerke von Youtube getrackt wurde, denn, selbst wenn: Ja, Herr Falschgold kuckt alberne Amateurvideos, big deal. Aber es war auch eine den Kopf erwärmende Übung, sich in die zwei, drei Prozent der Leute reinzuversetzen, die die Filmchen kuckten und sich die Zeit nahmen, absatzweise Kommentare darunter zu schreiben. “Wieviel seines Hirns muss man ausschalten, bis 2+2 tatsächlich 5 ist?”, ist eine faszinierende Frage.Zwanzig Jahre später sind all diese Videos aus dem Normalo-Internet getilgt, zu groß ist der Hirnschwund in großen Teilen der Bevölkerung, sie könnte verunsichert werden, glaubt der Bürger doch heute wirklich jeden Scheiß und außerdem muss Platz gemacht werden im Internet für die wirklich manipulativen Kaliber, damit irgendwann auch der letzte Widerständige fünf Lichter sieht, statt vier.Stimmen uns Connaisseure der Kunstart “Verschwörungstheorie” diese Um- und Zustände traurig, wütend oder, s.o., einfach nur nostalgisch, so kann das für die professionellen Createure ruinös werden. Brachte Dan Brown nach seinem ersten Professor-Langdon-Buch “Illuminati” im Jahr 2000 die Fortsetzungen noch alle drei bis fünf Jahre heraus, brauchte er glatte acht für dessen jüngste Geschichte. Sie heißt “The Secrets of Secrets” und ich habe den Roman tatsächlich gelesen.Wollen wir doch mal spekulieren: Man kann vermuten, dass Dan Brown 2017, nach Veröffentlichung von Teil Fünf der Serie (”Origin”), kurz das Bankkonto gecheckt hat und sich an Teil Sechs machte. Kurz vor Fertigstellung zwang ihn dann Corona ins Homeoffice, wie den Rest der Weltbevölkerung. Für einen Schriftsteller ist das kein Problem, aber seine Zielgruppe, die Transatlantikfliegenden, brach komplett weg. Bummer. Wie er sich nun überrascht und leicht gelangweilt durch Facebook klickerte, wird ihm aufgefallen sein, dass die Menge und Verbreitung seines Markenzeichens, seines f*****g Spezialgebietes, des Dinges, in dem doch er die Koryphäe ist: die gemeine Verschwörungstheorie nämlich, dass diese sich so explosionsartig vergrößerten, dass vielleicht, so spekulieren wir, jemand zufällig auf genau die spinnerte Idee gekommen war, die er gerade in Buchform den Millionen schenken wollte. S**t. Was tun? Wahrscheinlich (wie gesagt, wir spekulieren hier nur) hat er nochmal von vorn angefangen und eine Story ersonnen, die in eine Gedankenlandschaft passt, wie wir sie alle seit dem Jahr 2020 ertragen müssen, eine Landschaft, die man im allgemeinen mit “Es ist eh alles egal” beschreibt. Weiß ist schwarz, gut ist böse, und alles ist erlaubt. Und alles ist egal.Alles? Nun, nicht alles, dachte sich Dan Brown und man muss ihm zugestehen, der Gedanke ist clever: Egal ist, ob sich die Börse von der Wirtschaft abkoppelt und deshalb alle ärmer werden; egal ist, ob sich das Weltklima um 1,5 Grad erhöht, während die USA Windparks verbieten; egal ist, ob Kinder an Masern sterben, weil ein Mann mit Wurm im Kopf Gesundheitsminister der reichsten Nation der Welt ist. Was nicht egal ist, selbst all den Wahnsinnigen, die an den drei vorbenannten Egalismen schuld sind: Ob man den s**t selbst noch erlebt. Einfacher: was niemandem egal ist, ist, dass man früher oder später sterben wird. Und dort setzt Dan Brown an und das ist brillant.Das schöne für diese Rezension ist, dass das gerade kein wirklicher Spoiler war, haut uns der Autor das doch so ziemlich auf den ersten Seiten vor die Füße. Wir wissen nur noch nicht: Warum? „Das entwickelt sich!“, wie Manfred Krug sagte, damals, und zwar gewohnt rasant. Die Story ist, von ein paar Rückblenden unterbrochen, eine, die sich über gerade mal einen Tag und einen halben erstreckt. Sie liest sich, wie man das von moderner Pageturnerware gewohnt ist, wie das Drehbuch für den zu erwartenden Film, in dem der mittlerweile neunundsechzigjährige Tom Hanks als Prof. Langdon definitiv ein Bodydouble brauchen wird, denn nicht nur rennt der Hauptheld mal locker früh halb sieben über die Karlsbrücke, nein, er rennt auch wieder zurück. Kurz danach schwimmt er dann, leicht unfreiwillig, in der Moldau. Im Februar. Zudem hat er sich verliebt, und zwar in seine ehemalige Professorin, ¡Holla! Wir werden im Kino also extrem weichgezeichnete GILFs sehen, bis uns der fade to black erlöst. Das wird hart. Ein Markenzeichen der Serie ist, dass Dan Brown seinen Protagonisten jetsetten lässt, wie seine primäre Zielgruppe. Von Rom, Paris, Florenz geht es diesmal nach, geographisch bewanderte Leserinnen haben es längst punktgenau verortet, ins goldene Prag, in die Stadt der hundert Türme. Wie Beate Baum letztens die Dresdner Neustadt als hyperlokales Setting benutzte, um Morde in deren Künstlerinnenmilieu aufzuklären, präsentiert Dan Brown uns auf der ersten Seite des Buches eine Karte der Prager Innenstadt und gibt den Fremdenführer. Im Schatten von Vyšehrad, Prager Burg und Veitsdom passieren die üblichen internationalen Intrigen, muss der Professor sich nur mithilfe seines genialen, rätsellösenden Kopfes aus brenzlichen Situationen befreien; Schießereien, Morde, Verfolgungsjagden halten uns am Ball, all das geschrieben in den mittlerweile üblichen minusklen Kapiteln von ein paar hundert Worten, über 137 sind es am Ende, auf dass man sich zwischen diesen Lesesnacks den Gargrad des Kopfinhalts mit zwei, drei Instareels auf “sehr soft” stellen kann. So soll das sein in einem Pageturner, so verlangt es der Lektor. Dan Browns real existierender bekommt übrigens in der Prof. Langdon Serie nicht zum ersten mal eine prominente Nebenrolle (was ich wirklich nice finde).Worauf der ganze Quatsch hinausläuft, ist lange unklar und nicht des Spoilerns Wert, denn die Story hat mit der Verschwörungstheorie nicht wirklich viel zu tun, letztere ist eher Mittel zum Zweck, der Hammer, der das Ding irgendwie passend machen soll. Was nicht heißt, dass Dan Brown nicht eine wirklich überraschende Wendung hat zum Schluss, da ist er schon Profi. Oder eben nicht zum Schluss. Irgendwie war der Lektor schon ein bisschen happy über seine Prominenz im Buch, so dass er sich selbst nicht aus den letzten fünfzig Seiten Abspann streichen wollte, die wir, nachdem schon alles klar war, überstehen müssen.Aber vielleicht hat Danny auch darauf bestanden, dass das alles drin bleibt, weil er da nochmal richtig seine Theorien ausbreiten kann. Denn Dan Brown ist, so weit ich das sehe, der einzige Erfolgsautor im Genre, der zu seinen absurden “Entdeckungen” steht und sich nicht dagegen wehrt, wenn Künstler und Werk in einen Topf geworfen werden. Das alles läuft natürlich unter “Anregung, den Status Quo zu überdenken” und ähnlichem Schwurbel (als würden Wissenschaftler das nicht den ganzen f*****g Tag lang machen), und das ist auch OK und war immer harmlos genug, bis es das nicht mehr war, siehe oben. Der zu hinterfragende Status Quo, den er sich in “The Secret of Secrets” herausgesucht hat, ist dankbarerweise ein recht harmloses Stück Pseudoscience. Zusammengefasst lautet seine These: “Die Realität ist nicht wie sie uns erscheint”. No s**t, sherlock. Gefühlt 1/3 aller TED-Talks in den 2010ern drehte sich genau darum. Dan Brown zitiert die üblichen Experimente, nach denen wir z.B. deutlich schneller auf externe Stimuli reagieren, als unser Hirn das eigentlich leisten kann. Er berichtet von den alten Programmen der CIA, in denen man “psychics” für das “remote viewing” züchten wollte, also, ein Medium in Langley verbindet sich mit einem Medium im Kreml und schon weiß LBJ, was Chruschtschow zum Frühstück hat. Er schreckt noch nicht mal vor dem in den 80ern allgegenwärtigen ESP zurück, über das sich schon die brillante TV Serie “The Americans” lustig gemacht hatte. Die Konsequenz aus all dem ist, irgendwie, lest den Humbug bitte selbst, dass wir alle unsterblich sind. Na also!All das wird ausgebreitet hinter einem Vorwort, welches behauptet, das alle im Buch erwähnten Experimente real wären. Nur dass halt die wenigsten davon reproduzierbar sind. Das spielt aber keine Rolle, so Dan Brown, denn die übergreifende Theorie im Buch erkläre ganz wundersam, dass all die Experimente gar nicht nachvollziehbar sein können! In der Wissenschaft nennt man das einen Zirkelschluss. Ich nenne es einen unterhaltsamen, mittelspannenden Pageturner zum Kopfausschalten in schweren, dunklen Zeiten. This is a public episode.

On this week's episode, Cody kicks things off with an enthusiastic discussion about some of the exciting news emerging from the highly anticipated New York Comic-Con 2025. He shares with Joe the thrilling announcement regarding the much-celebrated return of Jessica Jones, a character that has garnered a loyal fanbase, as she will be portrayed once again by the talented actress Kristen Ritter in the upcoming season 2 of Daredevil: Born Again. This revival has sparked a wave of excitement among fans, who are eager to see how Jessica's character will evolve within the gritty narrative of Hell's Kitchen. Additionally, Cody reveals that there will be a new addition to the cast for this season: none other than Matthew Lillard, known for his diverse roles in both film and television, who will take on the character of Mr. Charles. This character is expected to serve as a formidable rival to Vincent D'Onofrio's iconic portrayal of Wilson Fisk, also known as Kingpin. The dynamic between these characters promises to add depth and intrigue to the unfolding storylines.Continuing the conversation, Cody expresses his enthusiasm about Edgar Wright's upcoming project, The Running Man, which has been generating buzz in the film community. He discusses the unique approach Wright is known for, particularly his ability to blend humor with action, and how this might redefine the classic narrative originally conceived by Stephen King. Cody's excitement is palpable as he transitions to a discussion about anime, specifically highlighting his anticipation for the new season of One-Punch Man. This leads to an engaging dialogue between the two about the intricacies of anime, including the often-controversial topic of filler episodes. They explore how filler can sometimes detract from the main storyline, yet also provide opportunities for character development and world-building, leading to a deeper appreciation of the medium.As the episode progresses, the conversation shifts to literature, with both Cody and Joe sharing insights about the books they are currently reading. Cody dives into a discussion about The End of the World as We Know It: New Tales of Stephen King's The Stand, a collection of short stories that expand upon the universe of King's iconic novel. He elaborates on how these new tales offer fresh perspectives and narratives that enrich the original story, and how they resonate with contemporary themes of survival and morality. Joe then shares his own literary journey, revealing that he has started reading the latest installment in the Robert Langdon series, titled The Secret of Secrets. This prompts a lively exchange about Dan Brown's distinctive writing style, his penchant for weaving intricate puzzles, and the thrill of uncovering hidden truths within historical contexts.To wrap up the episode, the guys delve into a discussion about the novel "S." by Doug Dorst and J.J. Abrams. They explore the innovative narrative structure of the book, which combines a story with margins filled with annotations, letters, and other ephemera that create a multi-layered reading experience. Cody and Joe contemplate the implications of such a format on storytelling and how it challenges traditional narratives, inviting readers to engage in a more interactive way. Their conversation reflects a shared appreciation for creativity in literature and the evolving nature of storytelling in both books and other media. Overall, this episode is packed with insights, excitement, and a celebration of the rich tapestry of storytelling across various platforms.Official Website: https://www.comesnaturallypodcast.comOfficial Merchandise: https://shop.spreadshirt.com/comes-naturally-podcast/iTunes: http://tinyurl.com/kqkgackFacebook: http://tinyurl.com/myovgm8Tumblr: http://tinyurl.com/m7a6mg9Twitter: @ComesNaturalPodYouTube: http://tiny.cc/5snxpy
Dan Brown joined us in September 2025 at The Music Hall in Portsmouth to discuss his latest, The Secret of Secrets.
On Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, Avik speaks with award-winning techno-thriller author Guy Morris about blending rigorous research with fiction to wake readers up to real-world risks. We unpack how 70 years of AI progress, geopolitics, national debt, climate pressure, and election manipulation converge—and why credible facts make stories stick. Guy shares the FBI-knock-on-the-door moment that reshaped his view of technology, a clear warning on facial recognition and biometric logins, and his choice to write high-tension, non-gun-hero protagonists grounded in human ethics. If you care about mental clarity in an anxious news cycle, digital safety, and page-turners that actually teach, this episode is for you. About the guest: Guy Morris spent 38 years leading tech and strategy at firms like IBM, Oracle, and Microsoft before turning to fiction. Since 2020 he's released multiple award-winning thrillers—often compared to Dan Brown and Robert Ludlum—rooted in real technologies, history, and geopolitics. Key takeaways : Research isn't window dressing; verifiable facts make fiction provoke thought and change behavior AI isn't new—it's a 70-year arc now reaching mass application; risks arise when commercial incentives downplay failure modes . Guy writes to show the convergence of pressures: geopolitics, national debt, climate, banking shifts, misinformation, and democratic backsliding Thrillers as a release valve: transforming societal anxiety into narrative helps audiences process fear and consider options. A 1990s incident—an NSA program “escaped”—sparked Guy's security lens and eventually drew a visit from the FBI, proving how plausible his reconstruction was. Core advice: avoid using biometrics (face, iris, thumbprint) as passwords; if compromised, you can't reset your face or print. He favors non-violent protagonists and ethical problem-solving; ingenuity over lethality preserves human dignity and reduces copycat harm. Mental habit: focus on history + humanity—tech amplifies old human tendencies; understand the past to choose wiser futures.

In the first episode of season 4, Dan Brown joins us to share about his love of hobby board games. He talks about transitioning from games like Monopoly to discovering the more advanced Carcassonne, which became his gateway into modern board gaming. Dan explores the relationship between game themes and mechanisms, saying he's drawn to games where these elements work together cohesively. He discusses his collection's evolution from simple games he could play with his family to more complex strategy titles, and touches on his fascination with observing how people interact with game systems. Dan emphasizes the tactile, screen-free nature of board gaming as an important escape from digital experiences, and offers advice for newcomers to the hobby on how to look for the right game for them.Guest BioAfter running boutique design firm EightShapes for 18 years, Dan Brown (he/him) struck out on his own, starting Curious Squid Design Lab to continue providing high quality information architecture and UX consulting to enterprise organizations.

They only had to deal with one tiny problem: Juan Diego never existed.In this episode we delve into the myth of Juan Diego, and examine efforts made by the church to prove that this fictional character actually existed.

The Jack Carr Book Club September 2025 selection is THE SECRET OF SECRETS by #1 New York Times bestselling author Dan Brown.When Robert Langdon travels to Prague with Katherine Solomon—a brilliant noetic scientist on the verge of publishing an explosive discovery about human consciousness—the trip is derailed by a brutal murder and Katherine's sudden disappearance. Soon, Langdon is targeted by a shadowy organization and hunted by an enemy born from Prague's most ancient mythology.What follows is a relentless race through Prague, London, and New York, where Langdon must untangle a web of futuristic science, mystical lore, and deadly secrets. At its core lies a shocking truth about the human mind—one powerful enough to alter the course of history.Dan Brown is the author of numerous #1 international bestsellers, including The Da Vinci Code, Angels & Demons, The Lost Symbol, Inferno, Origin, and more. His novels have captivated millions of readers with their trademark blend of history, science, and myth, redefining the modern thriller.This conversation explores Brown's inspirations for The Secret of Secrets, the enduring legacy of Robert Langdon, and the fine line between science and spirituality in storytelling.FOLLOW DANInstagram - @authordanbrownFacebook - @DanBrownX - @AuthorDanBrownWebsite - https://danbrown.com/FOLLOW JACKInstagram - @JackCarrUSA X - @JackCarrUSAFacebook - @JackCarr YouTube - @JackCarrUSA SPONSORSCRY HAVOC – A Tom Reece Thriller https://www.officialjackcarr.com/books/cry-havoc/Bravo Company Manufacturing - BCM Stock MOD3:https://bravocompanyusa.com/bcm-stock-mod-3-black/ and on Instagram @BravoCompanyUSATHE SIGs of Jack Carr:Visit https://www.sigsauer.com/ and on Instagram @sigsauerinc Jack Carr Gear: Explore the gear here https://jackcarr.co/gear
On this week's episode we dive in Dan Brown's newest release, The Secret of Secrets, that follows Robert Langdon on an adventure around Prague trying to solve the mystery of why Katherine Solomon's manuscript is being deemed a national security threat and has in turn put their lives at risk. We are bth HUGE Dan Brown fans, and this book delivered on all the reasons why we find his writing to be so entertaining. This book varies a lot from the previous Robert Langdon books as it focuses primarily on Katherine's area of expertise, noetic science, instead of Robert's area of expertise, symbolism and history. This book really made us self reflect and asked a lot of philosophical questions about the world and how we function within it.
Joe Versus the Vatican Symbologist Robert Langdon made his big-screen debut in The Da Vinci Code, the controversial adaptation of a Dan Brown bestseller that risked turning art history into a global conspiracy and created a PR nightmare for the Catholic Church. With Tom Hanks rocking the most unpopular haircut since Samson, and director Ron Howard treating every line like it came straight from the Book of Revelation, this 2006 thriller cracked the box office wide open.
