What do you know about Stoicism and mental toughness? Are you interested in discovering how you can use it to change your life? If yes, keep reading! The concept of Stoicism is derived from Roman and Greek antiquity and it is based on the development of self- control as a means of overcoming every emotion causing or tending to cause destruction. People, as world citizens, need to play an active part in world events, recalling that appropriate and virtue actions exemplified by the world.

Wie entsteht eigentlich Intelligenz? Eine Kernfrage, auf die die moderne Hirnforschung bis heute keine befriedigende Antwort geben kann. Für den Neurowissenschaftler Jeff Hawkins ist der Grund offensichtlich: Weil wir ein falsches Bild von der Funktionsweise des menschlichen Gehirns haben. Deshalb verfolgt er in "A Thousand Brains" auch einen radikal neuen Ansatz, indem die hartnäckigsten Probleme der Neurowissenschaften neu bewertet und spannende Antworten auf die wichtigsten Fragen gibt.

Thyroid disease patients can experience a number of different complications as a result of their hypothyroid (underactive thyroid) or hyperthyroid (overactive thyroid) conditions. Two of these complications are nerve pain and dysfunction, referred to as "peripheral neuropathy" and muscle weakness with possible atrophy (shrinkage of muscles), referred to as "thyroid myopathy".

In 1918, a world war raged, and a lethal strain of influenza circled the globe. In the midst of all this death, a bizarre disease appeared in Europe. Eventually known as encephalitis lethargica, or sleeping sickness, it spread worldwide, leaving millions dead or locked in institutions. Then, in 1927, it disappeared as suddenly as it had arrived. Asleep, set in 1920s and '30s New York, follows a group of neurologists through hospitals and asylums as they try to solve this epidemic and treat its victims - who learned the worst fate was not dying of it, but surviving it.

A leading science writer examines how the brain's capacity reaches its peak in middle ageFor many years, scientists thought that the human brain simply decayed over time and its dying cells led to memory slips, fuzzy logic, negative thinking, and even depression.

Imagine living in a world where people use their computers, drive their cars, and communicate with one another simply by thinking. In this stunning and inspiring work, Duke University neuroscientist Miguel Nicolelis shares his revolutionary insights into how the brain creates thought and the human sense of self - and how this might be augmented by machines, so that the entire universe will be within our reach.

To many, the brain is the seat of personal identity and autonomy. But the way we talk about the brain is often rooted more in mystical conceptions of the soul than in scientific fact.

Leor Zmigrod reveals the deep connection between political beliefs and the biology of the brain. Drawing on her own pioneering research, she uncovers the complex interplay between biology and environment that predisposes some individuals to rigid ways of thinking, and explains how ideologies take hold of our brains, fundamentally changing the way we think, act and interact with others.

Fields, Factories, and Workshops (1898) was one of Kropotkin's three most important texts (along with The Conquest of Bread and Mutual Aid - also available on Ukemi Audiobooks). Its subtitle - Industry Combined with Agriculture and Brain Work with Manual Work - indicates that although he starts from a Marxist standpoint, concerned with the exploitation of the wage-labourer and the inequality suffered by the majority of the social classes, he was equally concerned with the 'human needs of the individual’.

Who knew solving math problems could be this much fun? Many kids struggle with math, especially as they move on to more and more abstract concepts. It’s harder to understand an idea when you can’t visualize it and see how it applies to you. By making math concepts more relatable, children may find that math can actually be enjoyable and relevant. With this collection of math riddles and brain teasers, carefully created by Cooper the Pooper, you won’t get the same old math problems that only cover what’s taught in school.

Enter the shadowy realm where science and the supernatural collide in "Your Haunted Brain," a mesmerizing exploration of the psychology behind ghost hunting and human fascination with the paranormal. Author J.R. Meza takes listeners on a thrilling journey through ghostly encounters, delving into the interplay of belief, perception, and the power of the human mind.

For decades, modern medicine has predominantly focused on restoring health to a conventionally “normal” state for our age and medical history. But shouldn’t we aim to go beyond normal? Whether you’re twenty or eighty years old, have experienced a stroke, battle PTSD, or want to excel as an athlete or top executive, recent breakthroughs in molecular biology have granted us the means not just to repair but to enhance our physical and mental capacities.

En tiempos en que la (auto) ficción está al servicio de la cobardía, Eduardo Herrera nos ofrece su testimonio franco como un ex operador de la corrupción de cuello blanco...

World Brain is a collection of essays and addresses by the English science fiction pioneer, social reformer, evolutionary biologist and historian H. G. Wells, dating from the period of 1936–1938. Throughout the book, Wells describes his vision of the World Brain: a new, free, synthetic, authoritative, permanent “World Encyclopedia” that could help world citizens make the best use of universal information resources and make the best contribution to world peace.

Our brains evolved to solve the survival problems of our Stone Age ancestors, so when faced with modern-day situations that are less extreme, they often encounter a mismatch. Our primitive brains put us on the wrong foot by responding to stimuli that - in prehistoric times - would have prompted behaviour that was beneficial. If you've ever felt an anxious fight-or-flight response to a presenting at a board meeting, equivalent to facing imminent death by sabre-toothed tiger, then you have experienced a mismatch.

Most people don't know about the existence of the vagus nerve and how important it is for our body. It is not just a nerve - it is much more because it influences several organs in our body and, if stimulated correctly, it yields several important benefits. However, in order to benefit from it, it is necessary to understand well how the vagus nerve works and, above all, how to stimulate and activate it.

Insight leads to success. The more you can rely on insight rather an analytical process, the better. Using an analytical process can be helpful and has its place at times, but studies have shown that an answer to a problem derived from using insight is 16 percent more likely to be correct than when using a longer, analytical process. So, get this guide and gain insight today!
