The Idiot Brain

'Compelling and wise and rational.' - Jon RonsonMotion sickness.Nightmares.Forgetting people's names.Why did I walk into this room??For something supposedly so brilliant and evolutionarily advanced, the human brain is pretty messy, fallible and disorganised. In The Idiot Brain neuroscientist Dean Burnett celebrates the imperfections of the human brain in all their glory, and the impact of these quirks on our daily lives. Expertly researched and entertainingly written, this book is for anyone who has wondered why their brain seems to be sabotaging their life, and what on earth it is really up to.

Testosterone Rex

Testosterone is our favourite biological answer for stereotypical (and toxic) male behaviour - the cause of aggression, promiscuity and excessive risk-taking. Estrogen is the caring female hormone. But both sexes have both these hormones as well as many others. Re-examining wrongly interpreted research and drawing on recent and upcoming experiments, Fine shows that there is little difference in the relationships men and women want and that, in the past, it has evolutionarily made as much sense for women, as men, to have multiple partners - and that they did. She also emphasises the often undiscussed influence on male/female behaviour: the strong impact of culture on the roles of and desires expressed by men and women.

Winning Practices of a Free, Fit, and Prosperous People (Flourish Books) , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 988min

As the echo of our heritage and advantages of previous generations fade, our incomes stagnate, debt explodes, and fitness wanes. China ascends and vital natural habitats deteriorate. Worst of all, by failing to convey critical practices to our children, we place them in a weaker position than the previous generation for the first time in our history.In this book, Bitz compares how Americans are doing relative to other populations, documents why we are divided, and describes the cards nature deals us. He contrasts our instinctual operating system with the one needed for success in the modern world, reminds us of our need to be evolutionarily fit, and most importantly, delineates the Winning Practices that make this possible. ungekürzt.

This Idea Is Brilliant: Lost, Overlooked, and Underappreciated Scientific Concepts Everyone Should Know , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 971min

The latest volume in the best-selling series from Edge.org - dubbed "the world's smartest website" by The Guardian - brings together 206 of the world's most innovative thinkers to discuss the scientific concepts that everyone should know. As science informs public policy, decision making, and so many aspects of our everyday lives, a scientifically literate society is crucial. In that spirit, Edge.org publisher and author of Know This, John Brockman, asks 206 of the world's most brilliant minds the 2017 Edge Question: What scientific term or concept ought to be more widely known? Contributors include: author of The God Delusion Richard Dawkins on using animals' "Genetic Book of the Dead" to reconstruct ecological history; MacArthur Fellow Rebecca Newberger Goldstein on "scientific realism", the idea that scientific theories explain phenomena beyond what we can see and touch; author of Seven Brief Lessons on Physics Carlo Rovelli on "relative information", which governs the physical world around us; theoretical physicist Lawrence M. Krauss on the hidden blessings of "uncertainty"; cognitive scientist and author of The Language Instinct Steven Pinker on "The Second Law of Thermodynamics"; biogerontologist Aubrey De Grey on why "maladaptive traits" have been conserved evolutionarily; musician Brian Eno on "confirmation bias" in the Internet age; Man Booker-winning author of Atonement Ian Mcewan on the "Navier-Stokes Equations", which govern everything from weather prediction to aircraft design and blood flow; plus pieces from Richard Thaler, Jared Diamond, Nicholas Carr, Janna Levin, Lisa Randall, Kevin Kelly, Daniel Coleman, Frank Wilczek, Rory Sutherland, Nina Jablonski, Martin Rees, Alison Gopnik, and many, many others. ungekürzt.

The Intelligence Paradox: Why the Intelligent Choice Isn't Always the Smart One , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 349min

A book that challenges common misconceptions about the nature of intelligence. Satoshi Kanazawa's Why Beautiful People Have More Daughters (written with Alan S. Miller) was hailed by the Los Angeles Times as "a rollicking bit of pop Science & Technology that turns the lens of evolutionary psychology on issues of the day." That book answered such burning questions as why women tend to lust after males who already have mates and why newborns look more like Dad than Mom. Now Kanazawa tackles the nature of intelligence: what it is, what it does, what it is good for (if anything). Highly entertaining, smart (dare we say intelligent?), and daringly contrarian, The Intelligence Paradox will provide a deeper understanding of what intelligence is, and what it means for us in our lives. Asks why more intelligent individuals are not better (and are, in fact, often worse) than less intelligent individuals in solving some of the most important problems in life - such as finding a mate, raising children, and making friends Discusses why liberals are more intelligent than conservatives, why atheists are more intelligent than the religious, why more intelligent men value monogamy, why night owls are more intelligent than morning larks, and why homosexuals are more intelligent than heterosexuals Explores how the purpose for which general intelligence evolved - solving evolutionarily novel problems - allows us to explain why intelligent people have the particular values and preferences they have Challenging common misconceptions about the nature of intelligence, this book offers surprising insights into the cutting-edge of Science & Technology at the intersection of evolutionary psychology and intelligence research.PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your My Library section along with the audio. ungekürzt.

Heavy Brain: How to End Snacking, Overeating, and Other Binge Behaviour , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 363min

You're overweight, and it isn't your fault. But it is your responsibility to take control of your health. This transformation is also within your power. You just don't know it yet. This is the message that Tommy Caldwell delivers in his book, Heavy Brain. When we struggle to take control of our health, we blame ourselves. We believe we lack the willpower, commitment, and character necessary for long-term change. This couldn't be further from the truth, and it is this mental conflict that prevents us from succeeding in our fitness goals. The truth is that struggling with our health is part of modern life:We were evolutionarily designed to crave high fat, high sugar, high-calorie foods We live in an environment of abundance with a food system that aims to take advantage of these evolutionary mismatches We face a high degree of stress and emotional overwhelm that drives us to self-medicate with food, alcohol, laziness, and technological distraction We do not have an obesity epidemic - we have an epidemic of stress and emotional overwhelm. The good news is that if you understand the roots of your most unhealthy habits and behaviours, you can change them. This is what Tommy has become known for in teaching his readers. This is not a diet book; you don't need another one of those. It is a personal journey of self-exploration and reconnecting with your true self in a way that allows you to thrive in your health. Join the thousands who have followed the Heavy Brain system and transformed their minds and bodies, once and for all. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Rachel Gilbert.
