Book excerpt: “Compelling, essential reading for understanding the underpinnings of psychopathy.” — M. E. Thomas, author of Confessions of a Sociopath For his first fifty-eight years, James Fallon was by all appearances a normal guy. A successful neuroscientist and professor, he’d been raised in a loving family, married his high school sweetheart, and had three kids and lots of friends. Then he learned a shocking truth that would not only disrupt his personal and professional life, but would lead him to question the very nature of his own identity. While researching serial killers, he uncovered a pattern in their brain scans that helped explain their cold and violent behavior. Astonishingly, his own scan matched that pattern. And a few months later he learned that he was descended from a long line of murderers. Fallon set out to reconcile the truth about his own brain with everything he knew as a scientist about the mind, behavior, and personality.

Download or read book Quantum Relativity written by David R. Finkelstein and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 584 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past years the author has developed a quantum language going beyond the concepts used by Bohr and Heisenberg. The simple formal algebraic language is designed to be consistent with quantum theory. It differs from natural languages in its epistemology, modal structure, logical connections, and copulatives. Starting from ideas of John von Neumann and in part also as a response to his fundamental work, the author bases his approach on what one really observes when studying quantum processes. This way the new language can be seen as a clue to a deeper understanding of the concepts of quantum physics, at the same time avoiding those paradoxes which arise when using natural languages. The work is organized didactically: The reader learns in fairly concrete form about the language and its structure as well as about its use for physics.

Download or read book Dark Persuasion written by Joel E. Dimsdale and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2021-08-10 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A harrowing account of brainwashing’s pervasive role in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries This gripping book traces the evolution of brainwashing from its beginnings in torture and religious conversion into the age of neuroscience and social media. When Pavlov introduced scientific approaches, his research was enthusiastically supported by Lenin and Stalin, setting the stage for major breakthroughs in tools for social, political, and religious control. Tracing these developments through many of the past century’s major conflagrations, Dimsdale narrates how when World War II erupted, governments secretly raced to develop drugs for interrogation. Brainwashing returned to the spotlight during the Cold War in the hands of the North Koreans and Chinese. In response, a huge Manhattan Project of the Mind was established to study memory obliteration, indoctrination during sleep, and hallucinogens. Cults used the techniques as well. Nobel laureates, university academics, intelligence operatives, criminals, and clerics all populate this shattering and dark story—one that hasn’t yet ended.

Download or read book Minds of Reason written by Dr. Feridoun Shawn Shahmoradian and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2019-07-22 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of essays are strikingly informative since phenomenal strides are taken in search of truth, abating speculation. The well-thought interdisciplinary essays are rare, since they can quench the thirst for studious-minded people in search of knowledge and can bring that inquisitive mind closer to the reality of universal existence. The book is entitled Minds of Reason and sub-titled It is not what it is, which divulges the most arcane (enigmatic) issues of our time, clarifying imperative subject matter like why there is a God and why not many gods, why we are here, what happens after we die, what existed before the big bang, is our living purposefully driven, if a mind or matter is responsible for creation, and so on. The book Minds of Reason delves into exploring for truth; it unveils the awesome traces of God while leaving no stone unturned, convincing the reader that there’s more to life than meets the eye. Quintessential discourse on emerging fields for groundbreaking ideological, spiritual, philosophy, scientific, cultural, psychologic, social, political, economic domains, and the rationale behind these intriguingly intricate subjects, are clearly discussed. The refined methodology is executed to carefully manifest the essence of what matters, to play a catalyst in intuitively abstract findings, to muster a dynamic form or variation of clear cognizance for illustrating key arguments, to better fathom the essentials of existence. The aim is to insightfully navigate the uncharted territories to further deter obtuse debates; where dogmatic theoretical views can transcend to higher perception planes to further avoid vain acrimony (altercation) for a paradigm shift in meaningful communication, quantifying manna (gratuitous benefit) outcome from both sides of the aisle.

Download or read book The Oxford Handbook of Spontaneous Thought written by Kieran C.R. Fox and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2018-05-16 with total page 657 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Where do spontaneous thoughts come from? It may be surprising that the seemingly straightforward answers "from the mind" or "from the brain" are in fact an incredibly recent understanding of the origins of spontaneous thought. For nearly all of human history, our thoughts - especially the most sudden, insightful, and important - were almost universally ascribed to divine or other external sources. Only in the past few centuries have we truly taken responsibility for their own mental content, and finally localized thought to the central nervous system - laying the foundations for a protoscience of spontaneous thought. But enormous questions still loom: what, exactly, is spontaneous thought? Why does our brain engage in spontaneous forms of thinking, and when is this most likely to occur? And perhaps the question most interesting and accessible from a scientific perspective: how does the brain generate and evaluate its own spontaneous creations? Spontaneous thought includes our daytime fantasies and mind-wandering; the flashes of insight and inspiration familiar to the artist, scientist, and inventor; and the nighttime visions we call dreams. This Handbook brings together views from neuroscience, psychology, philosophy, phenomenology, history, education, contemplative traditions, and clinical practice to begin to address the ubiquitous but poorly understood mental phenomena that we collectively call 'spontaneous thought.' In studying such an abstruse and seemingly impractical subject, we should remember that our capacity for spontaneity, originality, and creativity defines us as a species - and as individuals. Spontaneous forms of thought enable us to transcend not only the here and now of perceptual experience, but also the bonds of our deliberately-controlled and goal-directed cognition; they allow the space for us to be other than who we are, and for our minds to think beyond the limitations of our current viewpoints and beliefs.

Download or read book The 48 Laws of Power written by Robert Greene and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2023-10-31 with total page 481 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Amoral, cunning, ruthless, and instructive, this multi-million-copy New York Times bestseller is the definitive manual for anyone interested in gaining, observing, or defending against ultimate control – from the author of The Laws of Human Nature. In the book that People magazine proclaimed “beguiling” and “fascinating,” Robert Greene and Joost Elffers have distilled three thousand years of the history of power into 48 essential laws by drawing from the philosophies of Machiavelli, Sun Tzu, and Carl Von Clausewitz and also from the lives of figures ranging from Henry Kissinger to P.T. Barnum. Some laws teach the need for prudence (“Law 1: Never Outshine the Master”), others teach the value of confidence (“Law 28: Enter Action with Boldness”), and many recommend absolute self-preservation (“Law 15: Crush Your Enemy Totally”). Every law, though, has one thing in common: an interest in total domination. In a bold and arresting two-color package, The 48 Laws of Power is ideal whether your aim is conquest, self-defense, or simply to understand the rules of the game.

Book excerpt: Humanity lives in a bubble of ignorance, a state of mind that distorts our perception to include pain, discord and scarcity. However, this doesn’t have to be. Permanent Safety, Health, Prosperity and Peace can be our experience once we Remember who We Really are. This Truth is not new. Every Illumined Individual throughout the ages has discovered It. Religions have been built on It. For most of us, though, the Promise of sustained Harmony and Happiness is lost to the bubble time and time again. Why the Truth retreats and how we can contact It again is the subject of this book. In a deeply revealing conversation between human consciousness and Spiritual Consciousness, answers to questions such as “what am i doing here?” and “why am i in this body?” are explored. Ancient teachings are dusted off, linked together, and made more available and relevant. Our core assumptions, beliefs, values and objectives are profoundly challenged. However, if we are willing, Truth takes us by the hand and leads us to a higher Understanding where True Hope is offered in an increasingly chaotic, despairing and dangerous world.
