Of Human Spirit, Mind, And Soul

About the Book

This book is a prelude to our philosophy and the scientific research we carried out in previous years after we left Ecole Navale. It is a response to the mind-body problem the French philosopher René Descartes set out in the seventeenth century: “How mental states are related to the physical states, the immaterial to the material, the invisible to the visible.” It is also a glimpse into personal development and the doctrine of positive thinking. This is the story of Ben, a first-generation immigrant who is experiencing the American dream “from rags to riches.”

About the Author

Daniel Zanou is a Christian philosopher and an independent researcher in quantum biology. He received his DEUG (Diplôme d’Etudes Universitaires Générales) in Economics and Management at the University of Lomé. He dropped out in his third year, passed the Navy entrance exam, and joined Ecole Navale in France in 2002. While he was still a cadet at the French Naval Academy, he inherited the philosophical works of the French mathematician and philosopher René Descartes. Ten years later, he emigrated to the United States of America, where he studied Fire rescue and Emergency Medicine at Butler Tech in Ohio. He has become an independent researcher in science and continues his writings in philosophy. His work in philosophy is the continuation of the mind-body dualism of René Descartes. He expands the work of the French philosopher; he brings it to fruition by elucidating the mystery of the immaterial components of the body to differentiate between life and existence. His philosophy stands at the crossroads of the Essentialism of Plato and the Existentialism of Sartre, where he thoroughly apprehends human behavior and the society they have built. In science, he carried on with the work of the Nobel laureate Erwin Schrodinger, who brought the concept of entropy into biology. Daniel Zanou is a specialist in sleep studies. His most significant publications on sleep are available at Medwin Publishers in Public Health Open Access, the African Journal of Medicine and Pharma Research, and also on SSRN, Elsevier’s repository for scientific research under the name of “Ayao Edoh Zanou.”
