When Scott Dozier was sent to Nevada’s death row in 2007, convicted of a pair of grisly murders, he didn’t cry foul or embark upon a protracted innocence campaign. He sought instead to expedite his execution—to hasten his inevitable death. He decided he would rather face his end swiftly than die slowly in solitary confinement. In volunteering for execution, Dozier may have been unusual. But in the tortuous events that led his death date to be scheduled and rescheduled, planned and then stayed, his time on death row was anything but.

El cerebro es un órgano plástico, que puede ser esculpido con la intención y la voluntad como herramientas. Conocer su capacidad para aprender y adaptarse al entorno es descubrir aquello que nos construye desde fuera. Pero, paradójicamente, es esa misma plasticidad neuronal la que nos brinda la oportunidad de transformarnos desde dentro.

In Off the Spectrum, cognitive neuroscientist Gina Rippon sheds light on how old ideas about autism leave women behind and how the scientific community must catch up. Generations of researchers, convinced autism was a male problem, simply didn’t bother looking for it in women, creating a snowball effect of biased research. Correcting a major scientific bias, Off the Spectrum provides a much-needed exploration of autism in women to parents, clinicians, and autistic women themselves.

The ways that statisticians and governments measure the economy were developed in the 1940s, when the urgent economic problems were entirely different from those of today. In The Measure of Progress, Diane Coyle argues that the framework underpinning today's economic statistics is so outdated that it functions as a distorting lens, or even a set of blinkers. When policymakers rely on such an antiquated conceptual tool, how can they measure, understand, and respond with any precision to what is happening in today's digital economy?

What if our understanding of capitalism and climate is back to front? What if the problem is not that transitioning to renewables is too expensive, but that saving the planet is not sufficiently profitable? This is Brett Christophers' claim.

“Let’s discuss . . .” These two words began the viral sensation that is @LandonTalks led by the sharp-witted, down-home, Mississippi-born Landon Bryant. If there’s one thing Landon knows, it’s the South. His anthropological dissections of customs and traditions celebrating all things Southern are a mix of humor, history, and head nodding.

The Tao Te Ching is a series of meditations on the mysterious nature of the Tao—the Way, the guiding light, the very source of all existence. According to Lao Tzu (a name meaning "the old master"), the Tao is found where we would least expect it—not in the strong but in the weak; not in speech but in silence; not in doing but in "not-doing."

Tonny Robbins, un especialista en dinero, así, tal como suena, porque especialistas hay para todo, una persona que se interesó en el impacto del ahorro y de lo que implica manejar recursos, dice que lo que la gente no se da cuenta es que el dinero es, en el fondo, poder. ¿Poder para qué? Poder para liberarnos de la esclavitud de la dependencia financiera, de vivir al día, sin entender que el dinero no es una cuestión mágica. Como dice el autor del mismo libro: “El éxito tiene sus claves. La gente no triunfa porque tenga suerte; hacen las cosas de otra manera”. Eso significa que ...
