Book excerpt: At last we have an honest and touching account on the masculine personality and emotions based on the authors personal quest, and clinical observations from years of extensive experience. The Masculine Heart is an important contribution to the Biopsychosocial Sciences and Humanities. Emmanuel Hriso, MD Chairman, Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Health, Christ Hospital, Jersey City, NJ. Clinical Assistant Professor of Psychiatry, UMDNJ, Robert Wood Johnson Medical School A tour de force journey into the masculine heart. The undetected and behind the scene tragedies suffered by little boys and young men not only at home, but also in consumer culture, come to light. A holistic account of how men become wounded within the nest and outside of it. Distorted definitions of male success by corporate and media profits before people consciousness, sets the stage for this unraveling poetic tale of burned out, exploited and psychologically unsuccessful fathers and sons. In an uncommon and distinctive voice, Kandarjian invites the forces that perpetuate the development of the false male self to refl ect upon the massive damage and consider brotherly options. Ultimately, a contemporary male narrative about self-possession: possession of emotions, intuitive instincts, reason, and drive. Finally, a book that redefines male power for the 21st century and competently anchors it into the charitable heart.

Download or read book The Restless Clock written by Jessica Riskin and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2016-03-10 with total page 571 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A core principle of modern science holds that a scientific explanation must not attribute will or agency to natural phenomena.The Restless Clock examines the origins and history of this, in particular as it applies to the science of living things. This is also the story of a tradition of radicals—dissenters who embraced the opposite view, that agency is an essential and ineradicable part of nature. Beginning with the church and courtly automata of early modern Europe, Jessica Riskin guides us through our thinking about the extent to which animals might be understood as mere machines. We encounter fantastic robots and cyborgs as well as a cast of scientific and philosophical luminaries, including Descartes and Leibnitz, Lamarck and Darwin, whose ideas gain new relevance in Riskin's hands. The book ends with a riveting discussion of how the dialectic continues in genetics, epigenetics, and evolutionary biology, where work continues to naturalize different forms of agency.The Restless Clock reveals the deeply buried roots of current debates in artificial intelligence, cognitive science, and evolutionary biology.

Download or read book Human Psychology 101 written by Alan G. Fields and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-08-21 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Understanding the human mind is a complicated array of wirings of the past combined with the physical and chemical inclinations of the present. Psychology is the study of the human brain, but it's so much more than a mere dissection of the gooey gray mass trapped in our skulls; it's a study of what makes us tick as individuals and as a species. Human Psychology 101: Understanding the Human Mind and What Makes People Tick is meant to show you the facets of a human being and how they work together to make a person tick. It's not a psychological treatise or a DSM-V. It's a collection of my own research of psychology and stories from my life and those of my friends and acquaintances that help illustrate the principles I'm going to be telling you about. I will be dividing this book into seven aspects of human psychology: emotions, personality, decision-making, morality, perception, behavior, and relationships. To understand what makes someone tick is to have mastered a sort of psychological sleight of hand, and I hope that this book serves as a useful step on your way to mastery over that brand of magic trick. How human beings think and behave is an unendingly fascinating study, one that reveals how simple and elegant and, on the other hand, complex and mysterious we all are. I hope you are as pumped as I am to think about the inner workings of how people tick.
