Book excerpt: The #1 New York Times bestseller. Over 20 million copies sold! Translated into 60+ languages! Tiny Changes, Remarkable Results No matter your goals, Atomic Habits offers a proven framework for improving--every day. James Clear, one of the world's leading experts on habit formation, reveals practical strategies that will teach you exactly how to form good habits, break bad ones, and master the tiny behaviors that lead to remarkable results. If you're having trouble changing your habits, the problem isn't you. The problem is your system. Bad habits repeat themselves again and again not because you don't want to change, but because you have the wrong system for change. You do not rise to the level of your goals. You fall to the level of your systems. Here, you'll get a proven system that can take you to new heights. Clear is known for his ability to distill complex topics into simple behaviors that can be easily applied to daily life and work. Here, he draws on the most proven ideas from biology, psychology, and neuroscience to create an easy-to-understand guide for making good habits inevitable and bad habits impossible. Along the way, readers will be inspired and entertained with true stories from Olympic gold medalists, award-winning artists, business leaders, life-saving physicians, and star comedians who have used the science of small habits to master their craft and vault to the top of their field. Learn how to: make time for new habits (even when life gets crazy); overcome a lack of motivation and willpower; design your environment to make success easier; get back on track when you fall off course; ...and much more. Atomic Habits will reshape the way you think about progress and success, and give you the tools and strategies you need to transform your habits--whether you are a team looking to win a championship, an organization hoping to redefine an industry, or simply an individual who wishes to quit smoking, lose weight, reduce stress, or achieve any other goal.

Download or read book Many Paths written by J. P. Vaswani and published by Sterling Publications. This book was released on 2010-11-10 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dada J P Vaswani firmly believes: "Religions came to unite, to reconcile, to create harmony among men". It is this spirit of unity, understanding and harmony that pervades his attempt to write this compact introduction to the great religions of the world. This book will teach you to respect and appreciate the diverse faiths and belief systems by which we and our fellow human beings live. As the title indicates, each religion, each system of faith, is a pathway hewn out by a community of believers to take them closer to God and Salvation. The paths may be many; but what this book brings out is that the goal is the same for all aspirants. Most of us are not found to be wanting in loyalty to our faiths; the problem is to cultivate a healthy respect for what others believe! This is a worthy aim which Revered Dada can surely help you achieve with this balanced, thoughtful work, written in the true Indian spirit of reverence and appreciation for all approaches to Truth and Divinity. The author presents each religion as a precious jewel embellished in the crown of world civilisation. So, whether it is Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Jainism, Judaism, Buddhism, Sikhism, Baha'ism, Sufism or Zoroastrianism, the individual artefact is distinct, precious and unique. But, the sub-stratum of belief that is at the core of their structure is eternal and unchanging: faith in the One God and the unity and fellowship of all Creation. And running as a golden thread through them all is the ultimate law which every faith never ever fails to emphasise: Do nothing that may cause pain to others. Here is a book which will reinforce your faith in humanity and help you to become aware of what Vedanta emphasises: the One behind the Many, the Single Divinity behind the multiplicity of thought and creation.

Download or read book Our New Path of Self Discovery written by Terry Sands and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2012-10-31 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ‘Who am I, and Why am I here?’ This question is perhaps the only thought that occurs to every one of us at some time during our life. For some, this question is merely a passing thought; for others, the question is answered by religious teachings; for still others, the question is so serious that it prompts a search of paramount importance. We are calling for a way to help us understand the nature of our identity and the meaning of our life. If you have asked this question with more than a passing interest, you have probably explored various avenues that appeared to off er an answer. You may have looked at various religions; you may have read the odd treatise or book, you may have journeyed to far off lands and you may have been attracted to various forms of so called “new-age” philosophies. Most of us have read a book or an article or seen a program about some of the modern gurus and cults that claim to give an answer to those who will follow their teachings. Some of us have even followed one or two of them. Many of us have all but exhausted the various avenues and attractions that off er an answer and have found the answers wanting. Many of those paths contain some truth and many of them are genuine. That is not the question that remains when they have been explored. The emptiness that hangs in the mind seems to ask for something to fill the void that makes that truth apply to “me”. It may say, “This path may be fine for you, but what about me? Where is the answer that makes my heart sing?” If you relate to what I have described, you may relate to the Material in this book.

Download or read book Revelatory Events written by Ann Taves and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2016-10-25 with total page 379 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A leading scholar sheds critical light on the seemingly revelatory events behind new religions and spiritual movements Unseen presences. Apparitions. Hearing voices. Although some people would find such experiences to be distressing and seek clinical help, others perceive them as transformative. Occasionally, these unusual phenomena give rise to new spiritual paths or religious movements. Revelatory Events provides fresh insights into what is perhaps the bedrock of all religious belief—the claim that otherworldly powers are active in human affairs. Ann Taves looks at Mormonism, Alcoholics Anonymous, and A Course in Miracles—three cases in which insiders claimed that a spiritual presence guided the emergence of a new spiritual path. In the 1820s, Joseph Smith, Jr., reportedly translated the Book of Mormon from ancient gold plates unearthed with the help of an angel. Bill Wilson cofounded AA after having an ecstatic experience while hospitalized for alcoholism in 1934. Helen Schucman scribed the words of an inner voice that she attributed to Jesus, which formed the basis of her 1976 best-selling self-study course. In each case, Taves argues, the sense of a guiding presence emerged through a complex, creative interaction between a founding figure with unusual mental abilities and an initial set of collaborators who were drawn into the process by diverse motives of their own. A major work of scholarship, this compelling and accessible book traces the very human processes behind such events.

Download or read book Multiple Approaches to Intelligent Systems written by Ibrahim F. Imam and published by Springer. This book was released on 2004-05-19 with total page 918 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We never create anything, We discover and reproduce. The Twelfth International Conference on Industrial and Engineering Applications of Artificial Intelligence and Expert Systems has a distinguished theme. It is concerned with bridging the gap between the academic and the industrial worlds of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Expert Systems. The academic world is mainly concerned with discovering new algorithms, approaches, and methodologies; however, the industrial world is mainly driven by profits, and concerned with producing new products or solving customers’ problems. Ten years ago, the artificial intelligence research gap between academia and industry was very broad. Recently, this gap has been narrowed by the emergence of new fields and new joint research strategies in academia. Among the new fields which contributed to the academic-industrial convergence are knowledge representation, machine learning, searching, reasoning, distributed AI, neural networks, data mining, intelligent agents, robotics, pattern recognition, vision, applications of expert systems, and others. It is worth noting that the end results of research in these fields are usually products rather than empirical analyses and theoretical proofs. Applications of such technologies have found great success in many domains including fraud detection, internet service, banking, credit risk and assessment, telecommunication, etc. Progress in these areas has encouraged the leading corporations to institute research funding programs for academic institutes. Others have their own research laboratories, some of which produce state of the art research.

Download or read book From Action to Cognition written by Claes Von Hofsten and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2007-10-19 with total page 467 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Extensive neurophysiological and neuropsychological evidence show that perception, action, and cognition are closely related in the brain and develop in parallel to one another. Thus, perception, cognition, and social functioning are all anchored in the actions of the child. Actions reflect the motives, the problems to be solved, and the constraints and possibilities of the child's body and sensory-motor system. The developing brain accumulates experiences, which it translates into knowledge used in planning future actions. Such knowledge is available because events are governed by rules and regulations. The present volume discusses all these aspects of how action and cognition are related in development.

Download or read book Cognitive Development and Cognitive Neuroscience written by Usha Goswami and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-09-26 with total page 661 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cognitive Development and Cognitive Neuroscience: The Learning Brain is a thoroughly revised edition of the bestselling Cognitive Development. The new edition of this full-colour textbook has been updated with the latest research in cognitive neuroscience, going beyond Piaget and traditional theories to demonstrate how emerging data from the brain sciences require a new theoretical framework for teaching cognitive development, based on learning. Building on the framework for teaching cognitive development presented in the first edition, Goswami shows how different cognitive domains such as language, causal reasoning and theory of mind may emerge from automatic neural perceptual processes. Cognitive Neuroscience and Cognitive Development integrates principles and data from cognitive science, neuroscience, computer modelling and studies of non-human animals into a model that transforms the study of cognitive development to produce both a key introductory text and a book which encourages the reader to move beyond the superficial and gain a deeper understanding of the subject matter. Cognitive Development and Cognitive Neuroscience is essential for students of developmental and cognitive psychology, education, language and the learning sciences. It will also be of interest to anyone training to work with children.
