The mysteries of the brain’s own cannabinoid system exposed and explained. Though cannabis has been used, for pain or pleasure, for over 4000 years, only lately have we learned, first, what makes it work and, more recently, how. Unraveling the mystery of the human brain’s special relationship with a psychoactive chemical derived from a plant—tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC, specifically—neuroscientist Linda Parker recounts the discovery of the brain’s own THC, called endocannabinoids, and describes the remarkable brain chemical system this discovery revealed. In expert yet accessible terms, Cannabinoids explains what we know about this system, how it functions, and how it interacts with the plant materials in cannabis. Parker explores the role of the endocannabinoid system in regulating emotion, anxiety, depression, psychosis, learning, memory, feeding, nausea, pain, epilepsy, and neurological disorders—as well as, naturally, the brain’s reward system. Examining the link between anecdotal reports and the current scientific literature, the book offers a balanced presentation of the scientific evidence for the medicinal use of marijuana, providing a timely intervention in ongoing debates about cannabis’s medicinal value and its legal status.

The Instant Sunday Times Bestseller A Financial Times, Telegraph and Waterstones Book of the Year Shortlisted for the Royal Society Science Book Prize What if music holds the key to healing our minds and bodies? Music as Medicine is the revelatory new book from the million-copy bestselling author of The Organized Mind. 'Fascinating' OBSERVER 'Essential' WALL STREET JOURNAL 'Intriguing' GUARDIAN _ Can listening to music boost our cognitive function? Do pop songs hold the key to treating Parkinson's and Alzheimer's? And why might Tracy Chapman's 'Fast Car' help cure PTSD? We are only just beginning to appreciate the healing power of music. Here, a neuroscientist and celebrated musician offers a confounding tour through the emerging science of music as medicine - revealing how it can calm our thoughts, repair our memories and heal our deepest psychological wounds. _ 'Levitin presents a strong, evidence-based case for how music heals, alleviating pain, reducing anxiety and even aiding recovery from strokes or Parkinson's. It's a compelling blend of anecdote and rigorous science, revealing in detail how music harnesses the brain.' Books of the Year, FINANCIAL TIMES 'For many years I have wondered why a bunch of frequencies organised into a piece of music has the ability, even without words, to make the listener cry and become emotional. Although I know this happens to me and many people, I have often wondered how this can be. Dr Levitin, in this latest book, Music as Medicine, has some fascinating insights into this great phenomenon.' PAUL MCCARTNEY

How We Can Harness Its Therapeutic Power

'Fascinating, insightful, lucidly and entertainingly written' A. C. GRAYLING, author of The History of Philosophy 'Extraordinary, eye-opening, startlingly original' CASS R. SUNSTEIN, co-author of Nudge 'Filled with insightful findings, this book shows that ideological extremism and polarization are not just problems to fret about but puzzles that can be studied and understood' STEVEN PINKER, author of The Better Angels of Our Nature How do our brains shape the ideologies we choose? And could our most cherished beliefs ultimately harm our brains and bodies? In The Ideological Brain, Dr Leor Zmigrod argues that when we believe passionately and extremely in an ideology, it is not only our political opinions that are changed - our entire brain can be transformed too. Drawing on cutting-edge research, Zmigrod reveals how rigid belief systems transform the way we think, act and interact with others, making us less sensitive, less adaptable and less free. Guiding you through innovative experiments, Zmigrod uncovers the deep and surprising connections between your political beliefs and the biology of your brain, exposing why some of us are more likely to gravitate towards rigid ideologies than others. She reveals the complex interplay between the psychological, neurobiological and social factors affecting our ideological choices, and carves a hopeful way forward, explaining how we can keep our minds open and free in the face of extreme ideologies. Eye-opening, provocative, and unforgettable, The Ideological Brain is a groundbreaking book that challenges you to resist black-and-white thinking and reassess your closest convictions. 'Lucid, eloquent, timely' ADAM PHILLIPS, author of Missing Out 'Deeply fascinating and beautifully written' JULIA EBNER, author of Going Dark 'One of the most brain-frying books I have read in an incredibly long time.' JOHN BURN-MURDOCH, chief data reporter, Financial Times

The Shaping of the Parasocial Self

This book provides a vital, critical criminological contribution to ongoing discussions regarding the so-called 'psychedelic renaissance' by affording an in-depth ethnographic study of unregulated contexts of psychedelic drug use. It identifies and examines three case studies representing prominent contexts of unregulated, non-clinical psychedelic drug use including: the individual psychedelic drug use of military veterans, the touristic consumption of ayahuasca ‘shamanism’ in Amazonian Peru, and the operation of psychedelic retreat companies within the ‘spiritual supermarket’ realm. Employing qualitative ethnographic methods, this book examines the various meanings being ascribed to psychedelic drugs within these unregulated contexts, exploring how their use and effects are being narratively constructed by users, facilitators, and other prevalent actors, and critically highlighting the complex socio-cultural factors at play. This book may be of key interest to any social scientist currently engaged in critical debates and research regarding psychedelic drugs, their use, and the contemporary psychedelic 'renaissance' phenomenon, and to any clinician looking for an expanded, qualitative discussion of psychedelic drug use beyond the quantitative, experimental, and clinical fields.

A Criminological Investigation into Psychedelic Drug Use

Celebrated Harvard Kennedy School Professor and behavioral scientist Julia Minson has devoted her career to understanding the psychology of disagreement and its relevance to negotiations, conflict-resolution, and decision-making. In this revolutionary book, Minson reveals the counterintuitive secret to living a life of less drama and more impact How many times have you tried to resolve a dispute by overwhelming someone with a flood of facts, appealing to your counterpart’s emotions, or pointing out the hypocrisy of their arguments only to end up in an even deeper disagreement than when you started? Julia Minson’s two decades of research into the science of disagreement uncovers two insights that can change every disagreement: persuasion doesn’t work nearly as well as we think it does, and displaying receptiveness to opposing views is the key to not only preventing conflict, but also to forging stronger relationships and making better decisions. The science shows that receptive individuals don’t just fight less, they also get more done—they are better negotiators, better peacemakers, and yes, better influencers than the rest of us. Through original research and case studies, How to Disagree Better will show you: <ul><li>Why persuasion doesn’t work as well as you think it does</li><li>How you can reach better conflict outcomes simply by signaling receptiveness</li><li>That disagreeing well is a skill all of us can learn</li><li>How to apply these ideas at home with your partner and kids, as well as at work in your negotiations and decision-making</li></ul> By practicing receptiveness, you’ll see your conflicts soften, your conversations deepen, and your relationships grow stronger. You will create a richer, wiser, kinder life for yourself and for those around you—and you will find them agreeing with you a little more often, too.
