Die Psychologie-Professorin Woo-kyoung Ahn ist ein Phänomen: Ihre Vorlesung an der Yale University über das Denken ist eine der meistbesuchten, inzwischen müssen sie in den größten Hörsälen der Universität stattfinden. Warum? Weil ihre Ansätze und Thesen, wie gutes Denken funktioniert und sinnvolle Entscheidungen getroffen werden können, den Studierenden ganz konkret weiterhelfen, weil sie sich auf den Alltag jedes Einzelnen beziehen und in ihrer Klarheit überzeugen.

Unsere globalisierte und digitalisierte Welt mit ihren trüben Zukunftsaussichten verunsichert viele. Entsprechend übermächtig ist das Bedürfnis nach wegweisenden Informationen. Doch das Informationszeitalter für alle hat sich in ein Zeitalter der allgemeinen Verwirrung verwandelt. Der Wettbewerb der Ideen, den alle freiheitlichen Demokratien für ihre Weiterentwicklung brauchen, ist zum Marktplatz für die Verbreiter von Angst, Wut und Empörung geworden. Unsere Gehirne sind mit einer konstruktiven Verarbeitung der täglichen Flut von Botschaften völlig überfordert.

Human behavior is lopsided. When cradling a newborn child, most of us cradle the infant to the left. When posing for a portrait, we tend to put our left cheek forward. When kissing a lover, we tend to tilt our head to the right. Why is our behavior so lopsided and what does this teach us about our brains? How have humans always used this information to make our images more attractive and impactful? Can knowing how left-brain right-brain differences shape our opinions, tendencies, and attitudes help us make better choices in art, architecture, advertising, or even athletics?

For therapists, neuroscience-informed principles and practices to nurture resilience, connection, and healing. Most therapists have heard about the breakthroughs taking place in neuroscience and how they can benefit the clinical practice of psychotherapy. If you're seeking to begin applying...

Using recent findings from neuropsychology, this book shows that who we are psychologically starts with the early presence of an easily aroused fear/anxiety system. It goes on to discuss how clinicians can view people's difficulties with self-confidence and identity, and how self-destructive patterns can be traced back to these systems and what clinicians can do to help. It also touches on intergenerational transmission of trauma, as well as people's responses to COVID-19, PTSD, and real and imagined threats.

O neurocirurgião Sanjay Gupta conversou com os mais renomados cientistas do mundo para derrubar mitos comuns sobre o envelhecimento e sugerir hábitos simples capazes de postergar e reverter os efeitos do tempo. Neste audiolivro claro e acessível, ele esclarece as principais dúvidas sobre os sintomas do declínio cognitivo, explica se existe a dieta ou o exercício ideal para o cérebro e se há realmente algum benefício em medicamentos, suplementos e vitaminas.

An introduction to EMDR, a proven trauma therapy with the power to heal, cowritten by a world-renowned therapist and a patient who experienced transformative relief through EMDR therapy. Trauma is a part of life. You or someone you care about has probably experienced trauma, whether “big-T”...

Siamo stati abituati a ritenere che all'uomo, in quanto essere dotato di razionalità, sia sufficiente tenere a freno l'istinto e l'emotività per essere in grado di valutare in modo obiettivo le situazioni che deve affrontare e di scegliere, tra varie alternative, quella per sé più vantaggiosa.

The need for improved mental, physical and emotional wellbeing, and the ability to inspire a resilient mindset has never been greater. We were never designed to run in stress mode, and in a seemingly constant state of fight or flight. So, in those situations where we have little control over the sources of pressure, our only option is to influence the way in which we respond. Unashamedly Superhuman is a neuroscience-based peak performance training for anyone interested in reversing the impact of distraction and uncertainty. 

¿Cómo pensamos? ¿Qué podemos conocer? Bruno Maduro profundiza en los grandes temas que hacen a nuestras capacidades cognitivas. Y aclara desde el vamos que su libro será una obra filosófica, si bien él cuenta con una vasta formación en psicoanálisis, neurociencias y diversas corrientes de la psicología. La exploración se inicia recuperando algunas fuentes de la filosofía griega que todavía ofrecen estímulos valiosísimos para esta reflexión.

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.

The time to rethink degenerative brain disorders has come. With no biological boundaries between neurodegenerative diseases, illnesses such as Parkinson's and Alzheimer's result from a large spectrum of biological abnormalities, hampering effective treatment. Acclaimed neurologist Dr. Alberto Espay and Parkinson's advocate Benjamin Stecher present compelling evidence that these diseases should be targeted according to genetic and molecular signatures rather than clinical diagnoses. 

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. 

Joining us at Audible Studios is sleep expert and Professor of Circadian Neuroscience Russell Foster. He’s created a book called Life Time which looks in detail at how sleep and our body clocks are essential in building optimum routines for a healthy body and mind, and why we need to escape the trappings of the 21st century such as high-level stress and artificial light. And there’s no better person to have written it....

Immagina di conoscere i segreti della psicologia umana. Le tecniche che i manipolatori utilizzano per far si che le persone scelgano e compiano determinate azioni che loro vogliono. Ognuno di noi reagisce sulla base di impulsi emotivi primari, causati da parole, gesti o eventi esterni, anche se si crede di farlo in modo autonomo, logico ed obiettivo. In questo manuale riconoscerete questi schemi che si ripetono e li assocerete al comportamento che ne consegue, in questo modo avrete in mano la chiave per aprire e conoscere la mente di chiunque.

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.

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.
