Fascinating story of how science came to be
Revisado: 08-01-22
Strevens gives a strong and historically well illustrated account of the development of modern science. His claim is that science took so long to fully develop because it requires a type of irrationality - an unreasonable narrowing of thought. As far as it goes, the book is strong and enjoyable to read. My main complaint is that Strevens does little to clarify other types of reasoning and where they might play an important role that science alone cannot fulfill.

Tell a stranger that you talk to yourself, and you’re likely to get written off as eccentric. But the truth is that we all have a voice in our head. When we talk to ourselves, we often hope to tap into our inner coach but find our inner critic instead. When we’re facing a tough task, our inner coach can buoy us up: Focus - you can do this. But, just as often, our inner critic sinks us entirely: I’m going to fail. They’ll all laugh at me. What’s the use?

accessible guide to emotion regulation by expert
Revisado: 06-14-21
Clear and easy to follow summary of highlights of the latest science of emotion regulation by leading psychologist. The book ends with practical suggestions. My only critique is that the premise of the book is that emotion regulation is almost exclusively verbal in nature. That premise is flawed but fortunately the science and advice given does not depend upon it.

who knew therapy could be so fun?
Revisado: 05-11-20
The book moves right along with lots of fun and touching stories, and you can learn a fair amount about therapy as you go.

Evolutionary theory has long established that humans are animals: Modern Homo sapiens are primates who share an ancestor with monkeys and other great apes. Our genome is 98 percent identical to a chimpanzee's. And yet we think of ourselves as exceptional. Are we? In this original and entertaining tour of life on Earth, Adam Rutherford explores the profound paradox of the "human animal".

good but not great
Revisado: 02-03-20
Good review of current science of how we evolved, but lacked compelling quality of Harrari's Sapiens. The author's voice is that of a fun but slightly smug and preachy professor directing his cute jokes and slightly patronizing admonishments at undergraduates

Two New York Times best-selling authors unveil new research showing what meditation can really do for the brain. In the last 20 years, meditation and mindfulness have gone from being kind of cool to becoming an omnipresent Band-Aid for fixing everything from your weight to your relationship to your achievement level. Unveiling here the kind of cutting-edge research that has made them giants in their fields, Daniel Goleman and Richard J Davidson show us the truth about what meditation can really do for us.

the definitive current science of meditation
Revisado: 06-27-18
A very important book which separates the overhyped nonsense about meditation and mindfulness from what is reasonable to currently conclude on the basis of science. This book is essential for anyone interested in teaching or merely having their own true evidence based mindfullness practice. Also, the history is fascinating and the book could not have a more reputable pair of authors. They were there from the start of the science of meditation and are very accomplished in their own rights as a research scientist and as a science journalist. My only quiblle is that Goleman's narration wasnt that lively and even seemed to get emphasis wrong at points. Not a bad performance but not the brilliant performance I expected.
