Book excerpt: The Irrepressible Mind – 9 Steps to Overcome Adversity Every person, company and organization will encounter some form of adversity in the pursuit of their goals. How you deal with it is the key to not only overcoming challenges but also how to grow and develop through them. Jillian Haslam's "start" in life was in one of the poorest slums of India, often being shifted from home to home as her family struggled to cope with poverty, malnutrition, and the uncertainty of what the next day would bring. She told her story in the award-winning book, A Voice Out of Poverty. However, her parents gave her one invaluable lesson — to achieve something better, you had to have an education, work extremely hard, and have a positive belief in your goals and their achievability. Jillian did just that and clocked up a 23 year career in banking, became a successful businesswoman, an award-winning author, and a motivational speaker. The Irrepressible Mind is a handbook for life. It will help you develop a strategy for overcoming whatever adversity may stand in the way of achieving your purpose in life. Your self-discovery journey will include nine steps in this invaluable guidebook. Step One is simple but has so much to say — Accept Your Start but Not Your End. Jillian illuminates each of the nine steps by sharing her experiences and those of well-known successful individuals, including Oprah Winfrey, JK Rowling, Michael Jordan, and others. It may surprise you to see that their experiences are not unlike yours as you go through the nine steps to achieving your ultimate goals and purpose in life.
Download or read book The Mind written by Christiaan D. Van Der Velde and published by Prometheus Books. This book was released on 2011-02-10 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Even though dramatic advances in neuroscience and brain imaging technologies have provided indisputable evidence of the fundamental role of the brain in mental events, the exact nature of that role leaves much to be clarified. On the one hand, research now strongly indicates that the cognitive content (what we know) of any mental experience or activity is the result of specific brain functions. On the other hand, the sense of knowing, of having experienced previously, continues to be an unresolved mystery. As yet, no primary brain function suggests that this sense has a cerebral origin.In this ambitious and deeply thoughtful work, psychiatrist Christiaan D. van der Velde argues that our sense of knowing may be an epiphenomenon of cerebrally produced internal images. This sense is a reflection of the binary logical structure of cognition, by means of which the brain orders all experience in paired opposites, such as night and day, good and bad, sweet and sour, etc. Just as these dialectical notions are inextricably linked in our mental structure, so too, says van der Velde, are the dual processes that make up cognition. When the brain actuates the cognitive content of any particular experience, that process automatically calls up the sense of understanding that content as known.Using this concept of cognition as a basis, van der Velde goes on to show its implications for such complex cerebral functions as memory, language, dreaming, body images, the formation of personality, and the encounter of the self with others. He also discusses the challenges of psychopathology and psychotherapy.This cogent, incisive analysis by a leading psychotherapist and researcher in cognition provides much to ponder and many insights into the nature of the brain.Christiaan D. van der Velde, M.D. (Farmington, CT), is Clinical Professor of Psychiatry at the University of Connecticut Health Center, who has published widely in numerous professional journals, including Nature, American Journal of Psychiatry, Journal of Clinical Psychiatry, among others.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thirty years from now, the bulk of humanity lives in hyper-connected, automated urban centers around the world. But Michael Quinn and the small rustic community in the Driftless Reservation in the US are living lives apart. Michael was delivered to this off-grid reservation as an infant by a mysterious foreigner known only as Dr Lim. Michael is gnawed by the mystery of his parents’ untimely deaths, and he is compelled to flee when his presence is detected by nefarious governmental actors. Michael’s search for answers takes him to Chicago and then Singapore, where he unearths secrets about his father, Simon Quinn. Simon had, decades earlier, been the subject of ethically dubious brain imaging experiments carried out in Shenzhen, China. The knowledge gained from these experiments would ultimately fall into the hands of a powerful Singapore-based corporation, becoming the foundation of a ubiquitous artificial intelligence infiltrating every corner of the virtual world. As Michael engages the intelligent network, he finds it has now become host to a familiar consciousness.

Download or read book Matter and Mind written by Mario Bunge and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2010-09-14 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book discusses two of the oldest and hardest problems in both science and philosophy: What is matter?, and What is mind? A reason for tackling both problems in a single book is that two of the most influential views in modern philosophy are that the universe is mental (idealism), and that the everything real is material (materialism). Most of the thinkers who espouse a materialist view of mind have obsolete ideas about matter, whereas those who claim that science supports idealism have not explained how the universe could have existed before humans emerged. Besides, both groups tend to ignore the other levels of existence—chemical, biological, social, and technological. If such levels and the concomitant emergence processes are ignored, the physicalism/spiritualism dilemma remains unsolved, whereas if they are included, the alleged mysteries are shown to be problems that science is treating successfully.

Download or read book Buddhist Literature as Philosophy Buddhist Philosophy as Literature written by Rafal K. Stepien and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 2020-11-01 with total page 455 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Can literature reveal reality? Is philosophical truth a literary artifice? How does the way we think affect what we can know? Buddhism has been grappling with these questions for centuries, and this book attempts to answer them by exploring the relationship between literature and philosophy across the classical and contemporary Buddhist worlds of India, Tibet, China, Japan, Korea, and North America. Written by leading scholars, the book examines literary texts composed over two millennia, ranging in form from lyric verse, narrative poetry, panegyric, hymn, and koan, to novel, hagiography, (secret) autobiography, autofiction, treatise, and sutra, all in sustained conversation with topics in metaphysics, ethics, aesthetics, and the philosophies of mind, language, literature, and religion. Interdisciplinary and cross-cultural, this book deliberately works across and against the boundaries separating three mainstays of humanistic pursuit—literature, philosophy, and religion—by focusing on the multiple relationships at play between content and form in works drawn from a truly diverse range of philosophical schools, literary genres, religious cultures, and historical eras. Overall, the book calls into question the very ways in which we do philosophy, study literature, and think about religious texts. It shows that Buddhist thought provides sophisticated responses to some of the perennial problems regarding how we find, create, and apply meaning—on the page, in the mind, and throughout our lives.
