The 650 Essential Books for Exo Studies

In preparation for teaching the second master course on exo studies (September 2020 to June 2021) I spent several months going through my extensive personal library of 6000+ 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 weekly topics listed below). Once I settled on this structure, I began identifying the best three to four contemporary books published in this area as well as a secondary list of background books. This resulted 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 – the best books on planet earth for supporting us in developing a metaview of living in a multidimensional multiverse! These books contain some of the best scientific, academic, philosophical, and experiential thinking and writing on these bizarre mind-bending and heart-pounding topics. Furthermore, they directly address aspects of the UFO phenomena in thoughtful provocative ways and they provide us with the tools, frameworks, maps, and distinctions to better understand this enigmatic and ambiguous domain. Together these books help establish the new epistemological-methodological-ontological horizons needed to make sense of the UFO/UAP phenomena in all of its paranormal and physical manifestations. Obviously, there is no expectation that one reads all or most of these or does so in any particular order – so go where your interest lies and see where it takes you.
