Klimakrise, tab af natur og biodiversitet og menneskelig mistrivsel handler alt sammen om, at noget er galt. Det kunne se ud, som om det er verden, der er kaotisk, men sådan forholder det sig ikke. Det kaotiske er i os mennesker - det er os, der skaber ubalance og kaos i omgivelserne, og derfor er det os, der må ændre radikalt på den måde, vi er i verden på. Det handler i meget høj grad om, at vi skal give slip på gamle indlærte vaner og mindske vores egoisme og grådighed.

We live in a world that is always on, where everyone is always connected. But we feel increasingly disconnected. Why? The answer lies in our brains. Carl D. Marci, MD, a leading expert on social and consumer neuroscience, reviews the mounting evidence that overuse of smart phones and social media is rewiring our brains, resulting in a losing deal: we are neglecting the relationships that sustain us and keep us healthy in favor of weaker and more ephemeral ties. Rewired provides scientifically supported solutions for everyone who wants to restore their tech-life balance.

Manche Menschen haben eine sehr verräterische Mimik – auch wenn sie nichts sagen, sieht ihr Gegenüber sofort, in welcher Stimmung sie sind oder was sie von eben Gehörtem halten. Dabei gehe das, was unser Gesicht verraten soll, weit über Zustimmung oder Ablehnung hinaus, sagen manche Experten. Emotionen aller Art, Lügen, die sexuelle Orientierung, sogar eine etwaige kriminelle Neigung soll sich darin widerspiegeln. Dementsprechend groß ist das Interesse an professioneller Gesichtserkennung.

Narrated by the author, Diane Wilson shares her journey through random and sometimes humorous events of having an invisible illness, how her brain kept this injury even from herself, the loss of focus and sense of self, an obsession with day trading retirement funds, and the alternative therapies that helped heal her brain—a retreat with Thich Nhat Hanh, acupuncture, learning to sing, and, most centrally, neurofeedback.

At its heart, polyvagal theory describes how the brain's unconscious sense of safety or danger impacts our emotions and behaviors. In this powerful book, pediatrician and neonatologist Marilyn R. Sanders and child psychiatrist George S. Thompson offer both a meditation on caregiving and a call to action. By attending to the lessons of polyvagal theory—that adult caregivers must be aware of children's unconscious processing of sensory information—the authors show how professionals can play a critical role in establishing a sense of safety even in the face of dangerous situations.

Our brain is recreating the world in its own way—most of the time for our own good: how hard would it be if, before making a choice, we had to know about all the options available in a given situation? Luckily, our brain can estimate: it allows us to reconstruct the world as we know it, and live in it. However, these very useful mechanisms can sometimes mislead us and have a rather negative impact on our actions, beliefs and opinions: when our brain behaves that way, we say it is biased. Albert Moukheiber gives us tips and tricks to fight against these cognitive biases.

By the time a baby is born, its brain is equipped with billions of intricately crafted neurons wired together through trillions of interconnections to form a compact and breathtakingly efficient supercomputer. Zero to Birth takes you on an extraordinary journey to the very edge of creation, from the moment of an egg's fertilization through each step of a human brain's development in the womb—and even a little beyond. As W. A. Harris guides you through the process of how the brain is built, he takes up the biggest questions that scientists have asked about the developing brain.

If you or someone you love has suffered a traumatic event, you know the devastating impact it can have on your life and your spirit.

Survivors become “invisible heroes,” courageously struggling to lead normal lives in spite of symptoms so baffling and disturbing that they sometimes doubt their own sanity.
