In this revolutionary book, renowned MIT economists Abhijit V. Banerjee and Esther Duflo take on this challenge, building on cutting-edge research in economics explained with lucidity and grace. Original, provocative, and urgent, Good Economics for Hard Times makes a persuasive case for an intelligent interventionism and a society built on compassion and respect. It is an extraordinary achievement, one that shines a light to help us appreciate and understand our precariously balanced world.

Jonathan Haidt skillfully combines two genres-philosophical wisdom and scientific research-delighting the listener with surprising insights. He explains, for example, why we have such difficulty controlling ourselves and sticking to our plans; why no achievement brings lasting happiness, yet a few changes in your life can have profound effects, and why even confirmed atheists experience spiritual elevation.

Synthesis of ancient and modern thought
Revisado: 08-14-20
The author of furs to modern neurological research, psychological theory, and ancient writings to expound a theory of happiness and how to find meaning within one's life. Even though the author is an avowed Jewish P thee'st, he establishes a rationale for the beneficial purpose of Religion. One of my top 5 recommendation for books in neuroscience and human behavior.

From the celebrated neurobiologist and primatologist, a landmark, genre-defining examination of human behavior, both good and bad, and an answer to the question: Why do we do the things we do? Sapolsky's storytelling concept is delightful but it also has a powerful intrinsic logic: He starts by looking at the factors that bear on a person's reaction in the precise moment a behavior occurs, and then hops back in time from there, in stages, ultimately ending up at the deep history of our species and its evolutionary legacy.

Essential 21st C Understanding of Humans
Revisado: 01-17-18
this book kept me focused and interested even through the most detailed scientific parts. sapolsky rights in the way that keeps the reader entertained and ensures the understanding of the research or the conclusions that come from it. he is also very transparent about his own biases and rights with a humanistic optimism that is encouraging. recommended reading for people who want to cultivate a more Humane understanding of their fellow human beings.

Most of us recognize that climate change is real, and yet we do nothing to stop it. What is this psychological mechanism that allows us to know something is true but act as if it is not? George Marshall's search for the answers brings him face to face with Nobel Prize-winning psychologists and the activists of the Texas Tea Party; the world's leading climate scientists and the people who denounce them; liberal environmentalists and conservative evangelicals.

A must read for environmentalists AND deniers
Revisado: 08-24-17
Become more aware how our brains are wired around this crucial subject. Both supporters of climate action and deniers would benefit from being aware of built in biases that could compromise our thinking and then our behavior.

Key Information for Brain Health
Revisado: 08-08-17
Where does Making a Good Brain Great rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
This is among the most informative books I've read on brain function.
Which scene was your favorite?
It increased my understanding of the connection between the functioning of parts of the brain and specific behaviours/conditions. The recommendations for how to look after the brain were comprehensive, and I really liked the chapter on supplements.
Any additional comments?
It's true that he does refer to his experience with his clients and thereby promotes his clinic, but the information is truly helpful for those who might encounter it for the first time.

For decades we've been told that positive thinking is the key to a happy, rich life. "F*ck positivity," Mark Manson says. "Let's be honest, shit is f*cked, and we have to live with it." In his wildly popular Internet blog, Manson doesn't sugarcoat or equivocate. He tells it like it is - a dose of raw, refreshing, honest truth that is sorely lacking today. The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck is his antidote to the coddling, let's-all-feel-good mind-set that has infected modern society and spoiled a generation, rewarding them with gold medals just for showing up.

An entertaining illumination of the stupid beliefs that make us feel wise. You believe you are a rational, logical being who sees the world as it really is, but journalist David McRaney is here to tell you that you're as deluded as the rest of us. But that's OK - delusions keep us sane. You Are Not So Smart is a celebration of self-delusion. It's like a psychology class, with all the boring parts taken out, and with no homework. Based on the popular blog of the same name, You Are Not So Smart collects more than 46 of the lies we tell ourselves everyday.

In business, the right behaviors matter. But getting it right is tricky. Even when we acknowledge the need to change what we do and how we do it, life has a habit of getting in the way, upsetting even the best-laid plans. And just how do we manage those situations that can provoke even the most rational among us into behaving in ways we would rather forget?
