Download or read book The Mind s Illusions written by Seraphina Blake and published by RWG Publishing. This book was released on 2024-09-09 with total page 21 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Mind's Illusions: How Misguided Thoughts Create and End Suffering, Seraphina Blake delves into the enigmatic world of illusions that distort our perceptions and, consequently, our experiences of suffering. Drawing parallels between artistic illusions and mental distortions, Blake explores how our thoughts can lead us astray, resulting in profound emotional distress and even psychiatric disorders. The book examines how illusions-whether stemming from dreams, hallucinations, or everyday thought patterns-can trap individuals in cycles of delusion, reinforcing negative emotional states and mental health challenges such as panic disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and depression. By uncovering the nature of these misleading thoughts and offering insights into how they can be recognized and addressed, Blake provides a compelling guide to understanding and overcoming the illusions that govern our minds. Readers will gain valuable perspectives on the role of cognitive distortions in suffering and learn strategies for re-aligning their thought processes to foster healthier mental states.
Download or read book Stiff The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers written by Mary Roach and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 2004-05-17 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beloved, best-selling science writer Mary Roach’s “acutely entertaining, morbidly fascinating” (Susan Adams, Forbes) classic, now with a new epilogue. For two thousand years, cadavers – some willingly, some unwittingly – have been involved in science’s boldest strides and weirdest undertakings. They’ve tested France’s first guillotines, ridden the NASA Space Shuttle, been crucified in a Parisian laboratory to test the authenticity of the Shroud of Turin, and helped solve the mystery of TWA Flight 800. For every new surgical procedure, from heart transplants to gender confirmation surgery, cadavers have helped make history in their quiet way. “Delightful—though never disrespectful” (Les Simpson, Time Out New York), Stiff investigates the strange lives of our bodies postmortem and answers the question: What should we do after we die? “This quirky, funny read offers perspective and insight about life, death and the medical profession. . . . You can close this book with an appreciation of the miracle that the human body really is.” —Tara Parker-Pope, Wall Street Journal “Gross, educational, and unexpectedly sidesplitting.” —Entertainment Weekly

Download or read book You Are Not a Gadget written by Jaron Lanier and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2010-01-12 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A NATIONAL BESTSELLER A programmer, musician, and father of virtual reality technology, Jaron Lanier was a pioneer in digital media, and among the first to predict the revolutionary changes it would bring to our commerce and culture. Now, with the Web influencing virtually every aspect of our lives, he offers this provocative critique of how digital design is shaping society, for better and for worse. Informed by Lanier’s experience and expertise as a computer scientist, You Are Not a Gadget discusses the technical and cultural problems that have unwittingly risen from programming choices—such as the nature of user identity—that were “locked-in” at the birth of digital media and considers what a future based on current design philosophies will bring. With the proliferation of social networks, cloud-based data storage systems, and Web 2.0 designs that elevate the “wisdom” of mobs and computer algorithms over the intelligence and wisdom of individuals, his message has never been more urgent.
