  • "Ludwig Janus argues for the formative influence of the earliest pre-linguistic period of life. A tour de force, this book weaves prenatal experience into a fascinating and compelling psychohistory of social, political and economic action. Janus's short epilogue is a masterpiece of concision that summarizes the latest empirical evidence for his thesis."
    - Robert Kramer, PhD Co-editor of The Letters of Sigmund Freud and Otto Rank: Inside Psychoanalysis
  • "A brilliant, comprehensive book that contains a wealth of insight into the conditions at the beginning of human life and in which the author presents how these conditions shape adult personality, culture, and society. A fascinating, rich, and rewarding read."
    - Thomas R. Verny Author of "The Secret Life of the Unborn"
