Publisher's summary

Anthony Peake is engaged in one of the most important strands of ontological inquiry of modern times, nothing less than unravelling the Gordian knot that is the mystery of our existence." (Bob Rickard, founder editor of Fortean Times)

Appearing in Greek mythology and popularized by Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials trilogy, the Daemon is broadly understood as a guiding spirit which exists as one half of your split self.

In The Daemon: A Guide to Your Extraordinary Secret Self, Anthony Peake proposes that people consist of not one but two separate consciousnesses - everyday consciousness and that of The Daemon, a higher being that seems to possess knowledge of future events. Drawing upon phenomena such as déjà vu and near-death experiences, he explores the ways that our Daemon breaks through into our consciousness and can subconsciously impact upon our decisions.

From the author of Is There Life After Death?, this endlessly fascinating book draws upon the neurology, metaphysics and theology. It also follows the stories of famous figures, including Byron, Geothe, Jean Cocteau, and many others who have "felt a force outside themselves". This radical book will change the way you perceive reality, time, and ultimately yourself.

Great awakening

Great insight and review of scientific data and perspective of our reality and who we really are. The information should be considered by the true student of life and purpose. Defining what spirituality is and needed. Nothing is a coincidence.

Well done. You've taken a multi-dimensional

I truly appreciated the book as it provided answers and explanations to things I have seen, ideas I have contemplated, and questions I am now considering. I am a cannabis smoker and an NLP practitioner, and I would hike while listening. I've heard it three times so thus far. While dense at times (thus requiring multiple sessions), I could dream away from more challenging topics to imagine what was just spoken while coming back at other times when a specific topic or word resonates. Thank you for the time and energy you put into the work.

Case Made


Through careful examination, Peake expertly lays out the case for the Daemon’s consequential attendance throughout history of various figures of note before infusing his theory into his own life, then that of the reader. Listen to this book, then listen to your Daemon.

Fascinating and thought-provoking

I had the benefit of listening to this book during a time of personal crisis where I wasn't sure what I wanted out of life. While this book didn't provide me with a roadmap for my future, Anthony Peake's theory of the Daemon provided me with answers to questions I never bothered to ask. His theory, while well-developed and well-cited, still leaves some space for interpretation and doubt, but I have to say that this book is a compelling and fascinating read. I thoroughly enjoyed it and have found myself listening more intently to my instincts, or my Daemon, as he refers to it. If you have any interest in exploring your consciousness or hearing about historical figures that have successfully heeded warnings from their inner selves, you'll enjoy this book.
