This book was released on 2023-05-12 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book is unique in its emphasis on the road to scientific success rather than the science itself. Scientists communicate much on their science through research publications, but they tend to talk much less, if at all, on the challenges encountered on the road to success. Information on the road to scientific success is helpful to people that are considering embarking on the journey on this road or are in the middle of the journey on this road. These people need inspiration and encouragement. Unless the information is recorded, it would be lost.The objectives of this book series are to:

Download or read book Medicine Science and Dreams written by David A. Schwartz and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2010-10-17 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Physician-scientists are unusual creatures. While we are drawn to the clinical challenges of our patients, we are also drawn to the opportunities that our patients’ medical problems bring to science. This book contains the unique experiences and encounters that drew 20 accomplished physician-scientists to this profession. These personal stories are those of people and circumstances that have had profound effects on our career decisions, our creative opportunities, and our lives. These stories also serve to highlight the lessons learned along the way and the distinct attributes of these women and men of medicine and science. Our combined hope is that our collective biographies will enhance the public understanding of our profession, will move people from medicine to science and from science to medicine, and will inspire those who are contemplating this extraordinary profession. “It is a rare gift to benefit from the collective wisdom of so many individuals at the same time. These physician scientists have provided readers with helpful advice and thoughtful encouragement. The interesting and thought provoking essays in Medicine Science and Dreams can be read and digested one at a time or all at once in sequence. They provide lessons to be learned by any physician-scientist, whether just starting out or in the middle of a research career. Schwartz has done readers a great service and has added to the legacy of these prominent and successful physician-scientists.” Book review in JAMA, September 7, 2011—Vol 306, No. 9 by Derek S.

Download or read book Science written by Lucas Smith and published by . This book was released on 2018-03-12 with total page 58 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most Successful scientists of all Time Scientists are important for the world because they help people understand the way the world works in very specific ways. Human beings have spent a lot of time figuring out how to stay alive and be happy, and science has been a powerful tool for staying alive, though it doesn't always make us happy. Science is one particular way of looking at the universe. It's a system of thought, a way in which we can organize what we know to better understand the way things work. In a way, scientists are like fortune tellers. The goal of the scientist is to understand how the universe functions in very specific ways, and to use that understanding to make successful predictions. These are the most successful scientists of all times. Albert Einstein: "Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better." Charles Darwin: "A man who dares to waste one hour of time has not discovered the value of life." Isaac Newton: "We build too many walls and not enough bridges." Sigmund Freud: "The ego is not master in its own house." Thomas Edison: "Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up." Aristotle: "The energy of the mind is the essence of life." Leonardo Da Vinci: "Nothing strengthens authority so much as silence." William Herschel: "All human discoveries seem to be made only for the purpose of confirming more and more the truths contained in the sacred scriptures." Archimedes: "Eureka! - I have found it!" James Prescott Joule: "Order is manifestly maintained in the universe... governed by the sovereign will of God." Nikola Tesla: "Of All Things, I Liked Books Best." How will this book help you? Can you imagine a world without science? You wouldn't have to worry about being late to work or finding your car keys because, well, jobs and cars wouldn't exist. You would be living in a cave or a rudimentary built shelter, at best, wondering whether you'll be able to hunt something for your next meal, or get killed and become some wild animal's next feast in the process. The moment that early humans decided to take action into securing their survival marked the birth of science, as that's the moment when they started asking themselves two vital questions about the world surrounding them: "How?" and "Why?". A scientist is important for the world because she chooses to look at the world in a special way, a way that can be useful and can help us understand ourselves better. There are many approaches to exploring and appreciating the world. I hope you try as many of them as you can and see what fits you best. Through this book, we will explore the greatest life lessons and secrets to success from The Most Successful scientist of all Time. Reading a quote or two everyday will motivate you achieve your goals. However, motivation is worthless without consistency. Therefore, put consistent action to achieve success. I hope this book will help you towards your journey. Scroll up and grab your copy now.

Download or read book The Scientists written by John Gribbin and published by Random House (NY). This book was released on 2003 with total page 680 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A wonderfully readable account of scientifi c development over the past fi ve hundred years, focusing on the lives and achievements of individual scientists, by the bestselling author of In Search of Schrodinger's Cat In this ambitious new book, John Gribbin tells the stories of the people who have made science, and of the times in which they lived and worked. He begins with Copernicus, during the Renaissance, when science replaced mysticism as a means of explaining the workings of the world, and he continues through the centuries, creating an unbroken genealogy of not only the greatest but also the more obscure names of Western science, a dot-to-dot line linking amateur to genius, and accidental discovery to brilliant deduction. By focusing on the scientists themselves, Gribbin has written an anecdotal narrative enlivened with stories of personal drama, success and failure. A bestselling science writer with an international reputation, Gribbin is among the few authors who could even attempt a work of this magnitude. Praised as "a sequence of witty, information-packed tales" and "a terrifi c read" by The Times upon its recent British publication, The Scientists breathes new life into such venerable icons as Galileo, Isaac Newton, Albert Einstein and Linus Pauling, as well as lesser lights whose stories have been undeservedly neglected. Filled with pioneers, visionaries, eccentrics and madmen, this is the history of science as it has never been told before.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: All of us upon remembering a brilliant, quiet, perhaps socially apprehensive classmate in high school have wondered, "I wonder whatever happened to him or her?" This is the story of one of those anonymous wunderkinds. Every class had at least one person who left their classmates impressed by their intellect. While the star quarterback of the football team and the slam-dunking center of the basketball team were regaled and celebrated on and off the field and the court, these silent, often unacknowledged whiz kids were - Scoring a perfect 1600 on their SAT - Hitting the campus of MIT at 16 - Creating the next life-changing invention Mill Hill Scientist is the real-life story of one of these unsung wunderkinds-author James L. Stevens. The official discovery of the transistor effect the day he was born was a telling indication of the path he was destined to travel. His fascination with the electronic revolution and the Space Race fueled his growing passion to become a scientist. However, his humble beginnings in a poor family struggling to make ends meet did not provide a smooth road for James' scientific aspirations. But his intellectual giftedness, hard work, and determination, along with the unwavering support he received from his parents, teachers, and mentors, paved his way toward future success. While biographies of famous athletes, artists, and scientists abound, Mill Hill Scientist will motivate and inspire the unsung, everyday scientific heroes who touch all our lives and leave their mark on our society and our world.

Download or read book Happier written by Daniel Horowitz and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2017-11-01 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When a cultural movement that began to take shape in the mid-twentieth century erupted into mainstream American culture in the late 1990s, it brought to the fore the idea that it is as important to improve one's own sense of pleasure as it is to manage depression and anxiety. Cultural historian Daniel Horowitz's research reveals that this change happened in the context of key events. World War II, the Holocaust, post-war prosperity, the rise of counter-culture, the crises of the 1970s, the presidency of Ronald Reagan, and the prime ministerships of Margaret Thatcher and David Cameron provided the important context for the development of the field today known as positive psychology. Happier? provides the first history of the origins, development, and impact of the way Americans -- and now many around the world -- shifted from mental illness to well-being as they pondered the human condition. This change, which came about from the fusing of knowledge drawn from Eastern spiritual traditions, behavioral economics, neuroscience, evolutionary biology, and cognitive psychology, has been led by scholars and academic entrepreneurs, as they wrestled with the implications of political events and forces such as neoliberalism and cultural conservatism, and a public eager for self-improvement. Linking the development of happiness studies and positive psychology with a broad series of social changes, including the emergence of new media and technologies like TED talks, blogs, web sites, and neuroscience, as well as the role of evangelical ministers, Oprah Winfrey's enterprises, and funding from government agencies and private foundations, Horowitz highlights the transfer of specialized knowledge into popular arenas. Along the way he shows how marketing triumphed, transforming academic disciplines and spirituality into saleable products. Ultimately, Happier? illuminates how positive psychology, one of the most influential academic fields of the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries, infused American culture with captivating promises for a happier society.
