Institute of Exo StudiesThe 650 Essential Books for Exo StudiesIn preparation for teaching the second master course on exo studies (September 2020to June 2021) I spent several months going through my extensive personal library of6000 books and identifying the core 40 topics (plus introduction and wrap up sections)I believe are essential for developing a comprehensive approach to UFOs (see weeklytopics listed below).Once I settled on this structure, I began identifying the best three to four contemporarybooks published in this area as well as a secondary list of background books. Thisresulted in a list of the top 650 books for exo studies in general with over 150 volumes(165 to be exact) being selected as the discussion drivers for the online master course(the rest serve as context or background reading).The 650 books listed below represent the crème de la crème of the UFO literature – thebest books on planet earth for supporting us in developing a metaview of living in amultidimensional multiverse! These books contain some of the best scientific, academic,philosophical, and experiential thinking and writing on these bizarre mind-bending andheart-pounding topics. Furthermore, they directly address aspects of the UFOphenomena in thoughtful provocative ways and they provide us with the tools,frameworks, maps, and distinctions to better understand this enigmatic and ambiguousdomain.Together these books help establish the new epistemological-methodologicalontological horizons needed to make sense of the UFO/UAP phenomena in all of itsparanormal and physical manifestations. Obviously, there is no expectation that onereads all or most of these or does so in any particular order – so go where your interestlies and see where it takes you.Enjoy,SeanSean Esbjörn-Hargens PhDFounderInstitute of Exo Studies2020 Sean Esbjörn-Hargenswww.exostudies.org1
