He gives equal weight to the skeptics whose field credentials are unimpeachable, to the Indigenous traditions that have described this being for centuries without needing science to validate them, and to the psychology of why certain encounters in dark forests permanently change the people who experience them.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ql-block\" data-block-id=\"block-cVzcXdypix\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ql-block\" data-block-id=\"block-cVzcXdypix\"\u003eThe answers Irish arrives at are more surprising — and more philosophically unsettling — than either side of this debate has been willing to admit.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ql-block\" data-block-id=\"block-pDxvRtUqzd\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ql-block\" data-block-id=\"block-pDxvRtUqzd\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThis is not a book about a monster.
