Thinking outside the box
Have you ever had an "ah-ha moment" when suddenly you understood something important in a new way? More and more people are having them, and many are writing books about them and inspiring the rest of us with their information and insights. Finding the best of these and spreading the word is what NCR is all about.
One book can trigger an awakening that changes a life; and awakened people are powerful. As Ervin Laszlo said: "A new consciousness can change the world, and a critical mass with the new consciousness will change it."
Why join NCR?
We need you! Our team of reviewers couldn't possibly sift through the tens of thousands of conscious books and films published yearly, but a conscious community of thousands of readers could get close. It's FREE and you'll be in the best company.
How does it work?
Imagine it as a global book expo where you can browse through the categories, search by title, author or keyword, read reviews, listen to interviews with the authors and check out their profiles and events.
When you join you can:
- add your own reviews and comments throughout the site
- create your NCR profile
- share your comments and reviews with friends

- display your favorite books on your bookshelf
- suggest ones we've missed or add them yourself (coming soon!)
- join discussions and connect with others in the community.
You'll also receive our our email updates alerting you to top picks from among the dozens of books we review weekly.
Using the Site
Finding Titles
Explore our books and films by clicking the categories and subcategories that interest you.
Display the list according to your preference by clicking the little down arrow next to the box that says "ordering."
Use the search box at the top of the page to look for a specific title, author or keyword.
Adding Comments and Reviews
Comments and reviews are the heart of NCR, so please leave them as often as possible.
You will be asked to rate titles on three criteria: content, style and consciousness.
You must be signed in to leave a comment or review, and your reviews will be listed with your profile.
P.S. They get you Karma Points!
Your Community Profile
Tell the community about yourself, expand your network, display your bookshelf, share your photos, and more.
To personlize your profile, just log in and click on "My NCR" next to your name and edit your details. You can choose whether to display your real name or your user name.
Your Bookshelf
At the top of each title listing, just under the title there is a small button that says, "+ADD". When you click on it, that title is added to your Favorites bookshelf and displayed on your profile page.
Join a Discussion Group or start a new one
When you get a group of people like ours together who think for themselves, the stage is set for a rewarding exchange of ideas. Make sure you're signed in, then go to "Discussion Groups" under COMMUNITY. If you don't find a group you're interested in, start one yourself!
Adding Titles
If we missed a book or film that really inspired you - whatever the vintage - PLEASE let us know. We'll post it ASAP so you can leave your comments!
