Before We Hit the Ground

Why are we so often in conflict - arguing with ourselves and with others, uncertain over who we are and what we want?For thousands of years, writers, thinkers and philosophers have seen life as a battle between the guiding power of reason and a disruptive animal within. In a world where fierce culture wars and endless newsfeeds turn up the tension, how can we overcome our uncertainties and know the many sides of ourselves?In The Animal and the Thinker, pioneering neuroscientist John Duncan lays out the principles, strengths and weaknesses of instinct and reason. Though often they are seen as rivals, each brings something essential to the human mind. Instinct struggles with modern civilisation - but brings value and meaning. Reason brings an infinity of new ideas - but alone is helpless. It is in their dialogue that we find answers to life's biggest questions.This book explains who we are and how our minds work, helping us understand why we are often faced with challenging conflicts in our lives and how we can navigate the eternal questions that shape us, such as: · determining right from wrong· balancing freedom with responsibility· exploring the differences between men and women· navigating democracy and justice· choosing between ambition and fulfilmentThe Animal and the Thinker offers a deeper understanding of the human condition and the mind so that we can better understand when to think fast and follow our instincts - and when, instead, we should temper our impulses with slower logical reasoning.'John Duncan is one of the most interesting and thoughtful scientists to tackle the complexities of the human brain' Professor Sophie Scott CBE, University of London'A tour de force. John Duncan has marshalled his experience as a world-class cognitive neuroscientist and writes with an elegant clarity which is simultaneously thought-provoking and entertaining' Professor Sir Simon Baron-Cohen, University of Cambridge'Electric ... a book full of good science, sage advice and deep understanding of the human condition' Professor Robin Dunbar, University of Oxford

Instinct, Reason and the Dance of Our Divided Selves

The Animal and the Thinker

A highly original first anthology on the cultural history of the unconscious that is destined to become definitive. “Know thyself”—the injunction that was once inscribed upon the Temple of Apollo—became a touchstone for classical and modern philosophers before being embraced as the endgame of psychoanalysis by Freud and his followers. The conceptual baggage that Freud took on his armchair journey into the unconscious mind is well known—and so, too, is the more recent science on implicit memory, blindsight and automatic processing—but the history of the unconscious beyond the consulting room and laboratory has largely been overlooked. From ancient dream theory to hypnosis, somnambulism to psychedelic mind-expansion, The Unconscious by Antonio Melechi traces the wider social and scientific history of the unconscious mind. It brings together a chorus of voices—including Friedrich Nietzsche, Henri Bergson, Mary Arnold-Forster, Swami Vivekananda, and Philip K. Dick, to name only some—to investigate the elusive psychology of memory and learning, instinct and imagination, creative breakthrough and mental breakdown. Moving beyond the familiar psychoanalytic framework, the book draws on a rich seam of sources, including case studies, psychological experiments, pulp fiction, urban legend, and commercial hype. Approaching the unconscious as a product of both discovery and invention, the anthology underscores its importance as a perennial source of debate, a tantalizing mirror to our hidden selves, and a powerful master key that continues to influence contemporary thought.

How the Great Philosophers Can Stimulate Our Ability to Think Critically

The Art of Thinking

How can a particular way of argumenting direct our thinking? How does the formulation of a question influence the answer, producing a bias or an insight? And finally, what effect does public communication have on public behaviour?Psychorhetoric and the Psychology of Thought illustrates the role played by rhetoric and communicative heuristics in the psychology of thinking and decision making, and its effect on many areas of our daily life. It gives voice to a new and unconventional approach to the contemporary debate within the psychology of thought that has wide implications for key behavioural phenomena, including biases, creativity, decision making, and public policy. This innovative work challenges conventional wisdom by proposing that cognitive biases are not inherent flaws in human cognition, but rather outcomes of misleading communication patterns that influence our thinking processes.This unconventional approach to the psychology of thought has significant implications for creativity, decision making, economic behaviour, and public policy development. Essential reading for students and researchers in cognitive psychology, communication studies, and behavioural economics, this volume promises to reshape our understanding of human rationality and the communicative forces that guide it.

Becoming Yourself

An uncompromising and sensually charged collection from one of the great practitioners of the short story. Squandering the Blue is Kate Braverman’s debut story collection, a fierce, hallucinatory vision of Southern California and the women who move through its heat, glamour, and wreckage. Set among artists, addicts, lovers, and drifters, these interconnected stories form a vivid patchwork of lives caught between longing and self-destruction, where affection and addiction are often inseparably entwined. Across brief, haunting snapshots, Braverman captures women at moments of fracture and transformation: an art-world satire that becomes a feminist post-nuclear parable in “Falling in October”; a woman struggling to break free from an abusive relationship in “Points of Decision”; and, in the widely anthologized “Tall Tales from the Mekong Delta,” a recovering alcoholic navigating motherhood, sobriety, and a dangerously seductive stranger. At once raw, lyrical, and unsparing, Squandering the Blue explores how people shape—or bury—their own experiences while living in the long shadow of a better life just out of reach. “If, as they say, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, it stands to reason that horror, too, lurks deep within the optic nerve. How else to explain the lushly menacing imagery in the poet and novelist Kate Braverman’s latest book?” —The New York Times

Squandering the Blue

'Brilliant, wise, humane, scientific, and kind. Beliefism is exactly what the doctor ordered - and it could change the world' Cass R. Sunstein, Robert Walmsley University Professor, Harvard University 'Repeated throughout is the fine principle that whatever position you wish to argue on an issue, you must be honest about what bad effects, as well as good, will follow.' Steven Poole,&nbsp;The Times Beliefism (noun):&nbsp;Discrimination against people who disagree with us Do you avoid people who are strongly against immigration? Or strongly for trans rights? We might like to think that we're tolerant, but many of us struggle to engage with people whose opinions differ strongly from our own. That means we're falling victim to what behavioural scientist Professor Paul Dolan defines as&nbsp;Beliefism. Drawing on the evidence from across the social sciences, Dolan shows how easy it is for us to divide ourselves into opposing camps - and how harmful that can be. Combining curiosity, irreverence and warmth,&nbsp;Beliefism&nbsp;is a definitive behavioural science take by a leader in his field. Whether it's among friends, at university or at work, being less beliefist will make you a better partner or parent, and a more effective buddy or boss. &nbsp; &nbsp;

Most mistakes don't come from lack of knowledge.
They come from acting too quickly.
Something happens.
You react.
In between, there is a pause.
That moment shapes everything.
 
The Investor's Mind is about learning to see it-and use it.
Not by predicting better.
But by thinking clearly when it matters.
 
Pause ¿ Examine ¿ Decide ¿ Review
 
You don't need more information.
You need better moments of thinking.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER "Fascinating stories. . . . Boxing ourselves in may be the ultimate way to think outside the box." —Wall Street Journal “I thought David Epstein’s first two books were brilliant, but Inside the Box is his best. I’ll never think about my own work the same way again.” —Malcolm Gladwell It's never been easier to do too much. From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Range, why limits are the key to stimulating creativity, innovation, collaboration, and personal contentment. We live in a world that gives us seemingly infinite choices and prizes freedom above all else. We have an unprecedented number of options regarding what to do, who to be, and how to spend our time. All that choice is wonderful; it is also overwhelming. The irony is that total freedom can be paralyzing, and unlimited resources don’t necessarily lead to the biggest breakthroughs. In fact, overvaluing complete freedom can be disastrous for everything from starting a company to harnessing creativity to finding personal satisfaction. David Epstein argues that all of us—individuals, businesses, institutions, even societies—can benefit from narrowing our options. He dives into the science and practice of constraints, exploring exactly when and how guardrails can be beneficial, whether we’re working with limited resources or using self-imposed boundaries to tap unexpected wells of focus and innovation. Original, galvanizing, and deeply researched, Inside the Box tells absorbing stories of people and organizations that embraced constraints to transform themselves, and the world—as well as a few that struggled from a lack of limits. Epstein reveals how boundaries create breakthroughs, and how setting the right constraints can help you become the most creative, productive, and satisfied version of yourself.
