Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How will artificial intelligence (AI), reshape work, commerce, relationships, and reality? As AI shatters barriers and ascends to CEO positions, rewriting the rules of our world, it renders millions who were previously considered impervious, vulnerable to its effects. When a tranquil Canadian evening takes a sinister turn, an elderly couple becomes ensnared in a cruel deception that exposes the unsettling complexities of AI. Surpassing the scope of science fiction and our brain’s ability to comprehend it, AI is on a path to alter society's foundation, adeptly replacing jobs and instigating a major shift in social roles—ushering a new economic era. Yet, few are prepared to adapt. "The Wolf is at the Door" invites you on a compelling journey, unveiling this dramatic transformation and providing crucial insights for entrepreneurs and workers alike. Unraveling the boundless possibilities and problems borne by the digital frontier, this book breaks down the 10 most pressing threats we face and 10 vital rules to thrive in an AI-driven world. As you explore the latest jaw-dropping developments, you will travel from the bustling center of Manhattan to the tranquil farmlands of Australia, bearing witness to enduring echoes of the past—from the Great Depression to the Industrial Revolution—on a quest to answer the defining questions of our generation. However, caution is necessary. When you meet the wolf, will he morph into an accomplice of immeasurable benefits, or surface as an adversary taking over your job or venture? It's up to you to decide.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Mental Set and Shift The fact Of mental set is primary in all conscious activity. The same stimulus may evoke any one of a large number Of responses depending upon the contextual setting in which it is placed. A series Of two-place numbers is being called: to the pupil in an arithmetic class the numbers serve as stimuli for mental addition or multiplication; to the foot-ball player on the field the same numbers serve as signals calling into play certain preparatory muscular reactions; to the man in a trolley car the numbers designate names Of streets. In each case the Objective stimuli are the same, but the response pat terns are widely different. The significance of mental set as here presented is by no means a _new Observation in psychology. We stress it only to introduce the considerations which follow. For just as all activity is colored and influenced by the predominance Of a mental set, so also it involves an element of constant adjust ment, an element Of shift. The Old laws of span, duration, and fluctuation Of attention bear witness to the fact of peri odic change in the responses made to a homogeneous repertory Of stimuli. The necessity for continued adjustment inheres also in the elements Of a given task taken by itself. Ordinarily one tends to overlook the fact Of adjustment. Discrete elements within a single task become telescoped and fused through the automatizing influence Of habit. Even the larger units in a person's activity take on the appearance of unified wholes. The fact of adjustment, evidenced by the slow and halting manner in which one goes about to coordinate the elements of a new habit, is gradually masked by practise. Change certain details of the task, combine Old elements in a new way, and the smoothness Of the Operation is temporarily destroyed. The continuity Of function is broken into discrete activities; the fact of shift effects is demonstrated; and the cost Of shift is loss in efficiency.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In A History of Modern Psychology in Context, the authors resist the traditional storylines of great achievements by eminent people, or schools of thought that rise and fall in the wake of scientific progress. Instead, psychology is portrayed as a network of scientific and professional practices embedded in specific contexts. The narrative is informed by three key concepts—indigenization, reflexivity, and social constructionism—and by the fascinating interplay between disciplinary Psychology and everyday psychology.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this seminal work, published by the C.I.A. itself, produced by Intelligence veteran Richards Heuer discusses three pivotal points. First, human minds are ill-equipped ("poorly wired") to cope effectively with both inherent and induced uncertainty. Second, increased knowledge of our inherent biases tends to be of little assistance to the analyst. And lastly, tools and techniques that apply higher levels of critical thinking can substantially improve analysis on complex problems.

Download or read book Reducing Risks for Mental Disorders written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1994-01-01 with total page 636 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The understanding of how to reduce risk factors for mental disorders has expanded remarkably as a result of recent scientific advances. This study, mandated by Congress, reviews those advances in the context of current research and provides a targeted definition of prevention and a conceptual framework that emphasizes risk reduction. Highlighting opportunities for and barriers to interventions, the book draws on successful models for the prevention of cardiovascular disease, injuries, and smoking. In addition, it reviews the risk factors associated with Alzheimer's disease, schizophrenia, alcohol abuse and dependence, depressive disorders, and conduct disorders and evaluates current illustrative prevention programs. The models and examination provide a framework for the design, application, and evaluation of interventions intended to prevent mental disorders and the transfer of knowledge about prevention from research to clinical practice. The book presents a focused research agenda, with recommendations on how to develop effective intervention programs, create a cadre of prevention researchers, and improve coordination among federal agencies.
