"Reality Is a Thought - The Dissolution of Certainty and the Discovery of Presence"  invites you on a journey across science, philosophy, and inner experience to explore one of life’s deepest questions: what is real?

From the fragile balance that makes life on Earth possible, to the strange paradoxes of quantum physics, to the hidden structures of perception and memory, David Jakob reveals how much of what we take for granted as “reality” dissolves under close examination. What remains is not certainty, but mystery.

Yet this book is more than an exploration of ideas. Drawing on fifty years of practice and reflection, Jakob shows how clarity is found not in thought or belief, but in direct experience. Voices from mystics, philosophers, and scientists echo a single reminder: know yourself.

Reality Is a Thought is not a textbook, but a companion — an invitation to pause, to reflect, and to discover the gift of presence in your own life.

Whether you are curious about the cosmos, fascinated by the mind, or searching for inner peace, this book offers a bridge between knowledge and wisdom, between illusion and reality.

"Appeasement then and now: From Munich to Climate Breakdown"

“Peace in our time.” Neville Chamberlain’s words in 1938 symbolized a dangerous illusion — that appeasement could hold back catastrophe.

In Appeasement Then and Now, David Jakob argues that we are repeating the same mistake on a global scale. From the rise of thuggery and nationalism to the silence of neutrality, from the complicity of big business to the distractions of consumer culture, the echoes of the 1930s are all around us.

But today, the stakes are even higher. The threat is not only political but planetary. Climate physics does not negotiate. Hunger and thirst will not wait. Within a decade, feedback loops may push us past the point of no return.

This book traces the patterns of delay, denial, and distraction across history and the present — exposing how leaders, corporations, and institutions sacrifice the future for short-term gain. It ends not with despair, but with a challenge: what will you do to break the cycle?

Urgent, uncompromising, and deeply relevant, Appeasement Then and Now is a wake-up call for anyone who believes that history’s darkest lessons should not be ignored.
