How to Sleep Like a Caveman

Ancient Wisdom for a Better Night’s Rest

Why do we use eighty-year-old metrics to understand today’s economy? The ways that statisticians and governments measure the economy were developed in the 1940s, when the urgent economic problems were entirely different from those of today. In The Measure of Progress, Diane Coyle argues that the framework underpinning today’s economic statistics is so outdated that it functions as a distorting lens, or even a set of blinkers. When policymakers rely on such an antiquated conceptual tool, how can they measure, understand, and respond with any precision to what is happening in today’s digital economy? Coyle makes the case for a new framework, one that takes into consideration current economic realities. Coyle explains why economic statistics matter. They are essential for guiding better economic policies; they involve questions of freedom, justice, life, and death. Governments use statistics that affect people’s lives in ways large and small. The metrics for economic growth were developed when a lack of physical rather than natural capital was the binding constraint on growth, intangible value was less important, and the pressing economic policy challenge was managing demand rather than supply. Today’s challenges are different. Growth in living standards in rich economies has slowed, despite remarkable innovation, particularly in digital technologies. As a result, politics is contentious and democracy strained. Coyle argues that to understand the current economy, we need different data collected in a different framework of categories and definitions, and she offers some suggestions about what this would entail. Only with a new approach to measurement will we be able to achieve the right kind of growth for the benefit of all.

Counting What Really Matters

The Measure of Progress

From a leading expert on child development, a radical evolutionary perspective on how childhood experiences shape later life. Children who grow up in troubled circumstances-experiencing deprivation or instability, living in a dangerous neighborhood or an abusive family-are more prone to aggression, recklessness, and sexual promiscuity later in life. To most of us, the lesson is clear: adverse childhood conditions make human development go awry. In The Nature of Nurture, renowned developmental psychologist Jay Belsky challenges this interpretation and offers an exciting alternative based on Darwinian theory. There is no reason to assume, he points out, that the psychology of "well-behaved" people is normal while that of "antisocial" adults is aberrant. Instead, the supposedly dysfunctional behaviors correlated with childhood adversity could well be ingenious adaptations to harsh environments. If you are surrounded by danger and uncertainty, then being quick to lash out at potential threats and having lots of offspring at an early age are good ways to maximize your reproductive chances. From an evolutionary perspective, having just a few children and lavishing care on each works well in a stable world, but not in a perilous one. Belsky exposes the romanticism underlying our idealized notions that "natural" equals "good" and that nature intends to maximize human happiness and well-being. When instead we take seriously the fact that humans, too, have been shaped by evolutionary pressures, we can better understand why, how, and for whom childhood experience shapes later life.

Rethinking Why and How Childhood Adversity Shapes Development

The Nature of Nurture

From generational icon Brooke Shields comes an intimate and empowering exploration of ageing that flips the script on the idea of what it means for a woman to grow older. Brooke Shields has spent a lifetime in the public eye. Growing up as a child actor and model, her every feature was scrutinised, her every decision judged. Now Brooke is facing a different kind of scrutiny: that of being a 'woman of a certain age'. And yet, for Brooke, the passage of time has brought freedom. At fifty-nine, she feels more comfortable in her skin, more empowered and confident than she did decades ago in those famous Calvin Kleins. In Brooke Shields is Not Allowed to Get Old, she's changing the narrative about women and ageing. This is an era, insists Brooke, when women are reclaiming agency and power, not receding into the shadows. These are the years when we get to decide how we want to live - when we get to write our own stories. With remarkable candour, Brooke bares all, painting a vibrant and optimistic picture of being a woman in the prime of her life, while dismantling the myths that have, for too long, dimmed that perception. By turns inspiring, moving, and galvanising, Brooke's honesty and vulnerability will resonate with women everywhere and spark a new conversation about the power and promise of midlife.

Die Konturen der menschlichen Existenz, in denen sich die praktische Verfasstheit als Grundstruktur und die Endlichkeit menschlichen Lebens als prägendes Element erweisen, werden als eine Philosophie der Person entfaltet.
In Auseinandersetzung mit zentralen philosophischen Konzeptionen (u.a. Harry G. Frankfurt, William James und Karl Jaspers) werden die zentralen Aspekte menschlichen Personseins erhellt. Konturen unserer Existenz werden in den Dimensionen Selbst, Mensch, Gesellschaft und Transzendenz entfaltet. Behandelt werden der Zusammenhang von Personalität und Zeitlichkeit, der von personaler Autonomie und Dependenz, Verzeihen und Frieden als grundlegenden Haltungen zur Welt sowie die Frage, ob das menschliche Personsein unverzichtbar auf Transzendenz bezogen ist. Das Motiv menschlicher Endlichkeit erweist sich dabei als Schlüssel zum Verständnis unseres personalen Lebens. Damit dienen die hier versammelten Studien auch als Hinführung auf eine Philosophie radikaler Endlichkeit.

Konturen menschlicher Existenz

The dogma that brain function relied on the cortex has dominated clinical neurology, neurosurgery and psychiatry for the last 100 years. Since the start of the 2000s, it has become evident that brain function is orchestrated as a network through white matter connections. This framework provides an understanding of brain function and dysfunction, and has radically changed how neurosurgical resections are performed. There is currently no manual for clinicians to visualize this functional anatomy in a fast, easy and user-friendly way. This is particularly important for senior clinicians who may have an understanding of cortical anatomy but may struggle with newly described white matter connections as they may now be visualized with MRI, and also for trainees who are learning the subject of applied neuro-anatomy. With this book, we aim to bridge this gap.


 


In 1995 Jackson and Duncan produced "MRI Neuroanatomy: a new angle on the brain" using the best clinical MRI available at the time and did not demonstrate white matter tracts. This was very well received, and it is time now to produce an atlas that shows the 3D anatomy of gray and white matter to contemporary standards.


 


This atlas is based on a high-quality MRI of a healthy subject which resembles the type of imaging is regularly available to clinicians. It is structured in sections (cortical anatomy, subcortical anatomy, and network anatomy) that are intended to guide clinicians from the classical cortical paradigms into a network neuroscience perspective. The 2D orthogonal slices are organized in two orientations:


 


(A) following the plane of the anterior and posterior commissure, as has been traditionally used in stereotactic atlases


(B) following the plane of the hippocampus, as is commonly used in clinical epilepsy practice.


 


The first part shows the 3D anatomy of the cerebral hemisphere, deep nuclei, brainstem and cerebellum.


 


The second part shows the same brain cut in 2D orthogonal slices (axial, coronal, sagittal) with a raw T1-weighted image, accompanied by a labelled image showing the gross anatomy of the brain and grey matter structures and, also, the labelled white matter tracts in that slice. This is particularly relevant for neurosurgeons, who will be able to appreciate before planning a resection the relationship between each tract's trajectory and the gray matter. This will also benefit neurologists, enabling clarity as to how single lesions can cause multiple disconnection and impact on different functions and behaviours.


 


The third part demonstrates the 3D anatomy of the major white matter tracts in the brain, to indicate how distant lesions can impact the same function.

You definitely know one. This book is about the poisonous people who walk among us. The romantic partner who twists every conversation, the office bully who keeps being promoted, or the reckless relative who never takes responsibility for their actions.&nbsp; Award-winning researcher Leanne ten Brinke has studied dark personalities for decades, examining their behaviour in settings as varied as prisons, schools and financial boardrooms, even in the United States Senate. Dr ten Brinke uses a mixture of new science and storytelling to: &nbsp;<ul><li>help you identify dark personalities&nbsp;</li><li>understand how they cause so much harm</li><li>take evasive action before you become their target</li><li>prevent bad behaviour&nbsp;</li><li>decide if you should leave</li><li>get out of toxic situations unscathed</li></ul> The latest research shows that a relatively small number of people are bringing the rest of us down. This insightful, humane, optimistic and empowering book gives you powerful, evidence-based tools to neutralise their poison and improve your life.

Poisonous People

The Sunday Times Bestseller. New edition, updated with added content. Navigating day-to-day life can be a tricky business. By the time we are adults, our experiences have formed our way of thinking and we have learned patterns of behaviour that are not always helpful. We must unravel these to understand, accept, nurture and allow ourselves to rise with our vulnerabilities, not in spite of them. After having a breakdown in 2011, Will Young went about the process of interrogating everything he thought he knew: how he formed his identity, what he relied on for self-esteem and how he behaved and communicated. Everything he has learned over the past ten years, he has now condensed into this easy to access A-Z guide. He digs into how everyday life can affect our wellbeing, how we can navigate our emotions, where they come from and how to create a balanced mindset, offering practical techniques we can all use to ground ourselves and set boundaries. With wit and wisdom and revealing his own vulnerabilities along the way, Will shows us how to identify destructive patterns, develop good mindful habits, be true to who we are and grow into better versions of ourselves.
