Download or read book The Wandering Mind written by Michael C. Corballis and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2015-04-15 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Corballis argues that mind-wandering has many constructive and adaptive features. These range from mental time travel?the wandering back and forth through time, not only to plan our futures based on past experience, but also to generate a continuous sense of who we are--to the ability to inhabit the minds of others, increasing empathy and social understanding. Through mind-wandering, we invent, tell stories, and expand our mental horizons. Mind wandering , hardly the sign of a faulty network or aimless distraction, actually underwrites creativity, whether as a Wordsworth wandering lonely as a cloud, or an Einstein imagining himself travelling on a beam of light. Corballis takes readers on a mental journey in chapters that can be savored piecemeal, as the minds of readers wander in different ways, and sometimes have limited attentional capacity.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'This book is a collection of poems that are reflections of wide range of emotions and issues an individual experiences going through life. In the fast-paced world that we inhabit today, we become just another face in the crowd and our voice gets drowned in the cacophony, making us feel unmoored. While some poems give expression to hopelessness and despair that we feel from time to time, be it due to personal setbacks and losses or despondency we witness in the world around us. However, there is always an underlying belief that, in the end, resilience of human spirit triumphs over everything. These poems aspire to bring courage and hope for the reader.

Download or read book Musings of a Wandering Minstrel written by Ravi Trivedy and published by Partridge Publishing. This book was released on 2013-10-27 with total page 81 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If you have observed the changing world through the wrong end of a telescope, then you will feel a level of resonance with the selections in this book. All those messages of hopeabout seeking the holy grail of self-fulfillmenthave made many, including the author, snap out of the assembly line in the grind factory and follow their own twisted paths. The observations in this collection are a summation of experiences (real and imaginary) of a sometimes cynical, mostly agnostic, and always iconoclastic bystander. A number of the pieces in the book feel like an out-of-body experience, where you are a bemused observer, watching the unfolding of both normal and warped human emotions. This is not totally esoteric poetry. Even where used, cryptic or obscure references are not embedded solely for the intent of making the flow intolerable or to leave the reader bewildered. Many of these works are influenced by the natural rhyming flow in deference to the masters, and yet others follow a freeflow styleyet not in an abstruse manner. The jumble of subjects is by accident, not intention. Thus a happy lilting piece, sandwiched between two darker pieces, just happened. The humor section, however, is mostly introspective. The author sees self-derision (and not deprecation) as a good starting point for dabbling in humorcertainly less offensive than applying it to others. Studying in a fiercely nationalistic school in India, the author grew up reading the poetry of the titans Tagore, Gupt, Dinkar, and Subhadra Chauhan. Later, listening to the melodies of Indian film music, he was influenced by the brilliant use of phrases by Ghalib and later by Azmi and Sahir. The nine years spent studying and working in America introduced the author to the sheer wizardry of W. B. Yeats, the darker verse of Edgar Allen Poe, the desperation of Maya Angelou, and sheer delight in the humor of Ogden Nash and James Thurber. Finally, a word about the embedded art: While each sketch or ink print may be seen for the sake of art only, the reality is that each is an embellishment to one of the included pieces of poetry. Just as in the poetry, the art is a combination of real and imaginary visualizations.

Download or read book Wandering Time written by Luis Alberto Urrea and published by University of Arizona Press. This book was released on 1999-01-01 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fleeing a failed marriage and haunted by ghosts of his past, Luis Alberto Urrea jumped into his car several years ago and headed west. Driving cross-country with a cat named Rest Stop, Urrea wandered the West from one year's Spring through the next. Hiking into aspen forests where leaves "shiver and tinkle like bells" and poking alongside creeks in the Rockies, he sought solace and wisdom. In the forested mountains he learned not only the names of trees—he learned how to live. As nature opened Urrea's eyes, writing opened his heart. In journal entries that sparkle with discovery, Urrea ruminates on music, poetry, and the landscape. With wonder and spontaneity, he relates tales of marmots, geese, bears, and fellow travelers. He makes readers feel mountain air "so crisp you feel you could crunch it in your mouth" and reminds us all to experience the magic and healing of small gestures, ordinary people, and common creatures. Urrea has been heralded as one of the most talented writers of his generation. In poems, novels, and nonfiction, he has explored issues of family, race, language, and poverty with candor, compassion, and often astonishing power. Wandering Time offers his most intimate work to date, a luminous account of his own search for healing and redemption.

Download or read book Encyclopedia of Consciousness written by William P. Banks and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 2009-03-26 with total page 1034 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Consciousness has long been a subject of interest in philosophy and religion but only relatively recently has it become subject to scientific investigation. Now, more than ever before, we are beginning to understand this mental state. Developmental psychologists understand when we first develop a sense of self; neuropsychologists see which parts of the brain activate when we think about ourselves and which parts of the brain control that awareness. Cognitive scientists have mapped the circuitry that allows machines to have some form of self awareness, and neuroscientists investigate similar circuitry in the human brain. Research that once was separate inquiries in discreet disciplines is converging. List serves and small conferences focused on consciousness are proliferating. New journals have emerged in this field. A huge number of monographs and edited treatises have recently been published on consciousness, but there is no recognized entry point to the field, no comprehensive summary. This encyclopedia is that reference. Organized alphabetically by topic, coverage encompasses a summary of major research and scientific thought regarding the nature of consciousness, the neural circuitry involved, how the brain, body, and world interact, and our understanding of subjective states. The work includes contributions covering neuroscience, psychology, philosophy, and artificial intelligence to provide a comprehensive backdrop to recent and ongoing investigations into the nature of conscious experience from a philosophical, psychological, and biological perspective.

Download or read book The Day I Stopped Lying written by Sudipto Chattopadhyay and published by Notion Press. This book was released on 2019-03-25 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is an anthology of essays, poems and one play by Chattopadhyay culled over a decade of writing. It delves into popular culture, literature, language, society, cinema, spirituality and matters of faith. It presents an alternate view on contemporary life and customs seen through the prism of his personal experience. The essential spirit is one of enquiry, and it deliberately steers clear of dogma. The text makes pertinent observations based on experience, study and interpretation of phenomena but does not propound any absolute theory. It is an informed Indian’s point of view in 2019. The book is reader-friendly with dollops of humor. Yet the discerning reader can also find insights from the subtly layered subtexts that propound the subaltern thought, albeit in a curious way. This book is essentially about myriad Indian thoughts, the mosaic of a complex civilization and an equally complex thought, constantly insightful and often bathetic and self-deprecatory. The nebula of Sudipto’s The Day I Stopped Lying is immense and immeasurable, forever expanding its arms in all directions… - Brahmanand S Siingh, National Award-winning filmmaker, author and speaker, based out of Mumbai. I’ve always wanted him to go, beyond movies into the world of literature because that where he truly belongs. I am so glad and proud that he has finally taken the plunge with his outstanding debut. - Sanjay Gupta, the veteran film-maker with superhits like Kaante, Zinda, Musafir and Kaabil to his credit
