Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What can magic tell us about ourselves and our daily lives? If you subtly change the subject during an uncomfortable conversation, did you know you're using attentional 'misdirection', a core technique of magic? And if you've ever bought an expensive item you'd sworn never to buy, you were probably unaware that the salesperson was, like an accomplished magician, a master at creating the 'illusion of choice'. Leading neuroscientists Stephen Macknik and Susana Martinez-Conde meet with magicians from all over the world to explain how the magician's art sheds light on consciousness, memory, attention, and belief. As the founders of the new discipline of NeuroMagic, they combine cutting-edge scientific research with startling insights into the tricks of the magic trade. By understanding how magic manipulates the processes in our brains, we can better understand how we work - in fields from law and education to marketing, health and psychology - for good and for ill.

Download or read book Free Will written by Sam Harris and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2012-03-06 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the New York Times bestselling author of The End of Faith, a thought-provoking, "brilliant and witty" (Oliver Sacks) look at the notion of free will—and the implications that it is an illusion. A belief in free will touches nearly everything that human beings value. It is difficult to think about law, politics, religion, public policy, intimate relationships, morality—as well as feelings of remorse or personal achievement—without first imagining that every person is the true source of his or her thoughts and actions. And yet the facts tell us that free will is an illusion. In this enlightening book, Sam Harris argues that this truth about the human mind does not undermine morality or diminish the importance of social and political freedom, but it can and should change the way we think about some of the most important questions in life.

This gripping novel—inspired by true events—tells the interwoven stories of a deformed German infantryman; a lonely British film director; a young, blind museum curator; two Jewish American newlyweds separated by war; and a caretaker at a retirement home for actors in Santa Monica. They move through the same world but fail to perceive their connections until, through seemingly random acts of selflessness, a veil is lifted to reveal the vital parts they have played in one another's lives, and the illusion of their separateness.

Download or read book The Illusion of Love written by MS Silk and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2023-09-27 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Part of the book: "There was chaos inside me with emotions I couldn't even name. It had become a very difficult matter to carry this incredible weight that my character and my small size, which seemed quiet and calm on the outside, burdened me with. So much so that I would suddenly find myself on the streets I had fled without looking back and relive the memories that weighed on my heart over and over again in my mind. Whenever I started to feel different, I had no belief that this difference would bring me beauty and even ignored it because it would disrupt my order. How strange... My heart, which used to contain enough love for the whole world, was now empty. This emptiness was sometimes overflowing with anger and sometimes with hatred, turning me into someone I didn't know at all. It even went so far that I could even hate myself. Pathetic but true. Many people have definitely felt like this at some point in their lives, but most of them don't accept it and go and make many lives miserable by exploiting the happiness, trust and love of others. I didn't do that. I think I was quite kind even when I hated the world and people."
