This riddle may sound like the one from Alice in Wonderland: “Why is a raven like a writing desk?” Unlike Carroll’s question, this one is not whimsical. There is, in fact, a pattern that applies to each of the listed fields and almost all other areas in our lives; one that doesn’t do us any favours.

The Cone Model© Dr. Nava Israel has developed describes a recurring pattern in which we start with well-meaning solutions to address our needs and end up with dogmatic systems that rob us of our freedoms and worsen our problems.

In her book, CONEtrolled, you will journey to uncover the inner workings of systems that oppress and control us under the guise of wisdom, necessity, kindness, greatness, unity, or progress. It will have you explore hidden truths you were taught to ridicule or ignore to keep you compliant.

CONEtrolled is NOT about feeding baseless conspiracy theories or spreading fear and distrust.

The ultimate purpose of this book is to help you rediscover your power and ability to build a better future as an individual, a member of your human tribe, and an integral element of this planet.
