The Believer is the weird and chilling true story of Dr. John Mack. This
eminent Harvard psychiatrist and Pulitzer Prize-winning biographer risked his
career to investigate the phenomenon of human encounters with aliens and to
give credibility to the stupefying tales shared by people who were utterly
convinced they had happened. Nothing in Mack's four decades of psychiatry had
prepared him for the otherworldly accounts of a cross section of humanity
including young children who reported being taken against their wills by alien
beings. Over the course of his career his interest in alien abduction grew
from curiosity to wonder, ultimately developing into a limitless, unwavering
passion. Based on exclusive access to Mack's archives, journals, and
psychiatric notes and interviews with his family and closest associates, The
Believer reveals the life and work of a man who explored the deepest of
scientific conundrums and further leads us to the hidden dimensions and
alternate realities that captivated Mack until the end of his life. Read more
