The journal is a unique intersection between science and the humanities encouraging deep thinking to understand humanity's thoughts through study and inquiry. In recording into the notebook these real stories of life and the thoughts we generate about them, we get a glimpse into understanding a great deal about ourselves and society, where our conscious has been and the direction its going. Thought Notebook Journal is based on a true story: humanity's story. This journal is a part of our Human Thought Project allowing us to delve into the minds of humanity and learn more about who we are by documenting into the notebook thoughts and expressions on particular subjects. www.thoughtnotebook.org/journal-issues --Award-- Finalist in the Next Generation Indie Book Awards in the Ebook Non-Fiction, Anthology, and New Age Categories (2015) Contributors Include: Ann Kendall, Timothy Ruane, Nithya Narayanan, Maureen Sebek, J.C.
