Psychology Brain

In the wake of a divorce, science writer and single mother Kayt Sukel made herself a guinea pig in the labs of some unusual love experts to find out. This Is Your Brain on Sex is her lively and hilarious examination of the big questions about love and sex, previously published in hardcover as Dirty Minds. Each chapter of this edgy romp through the romantic brain looks at a different aspect of love above the belt.

When you're seen as non-threatening, whether due to your own submissiveness or because you never learned how to show yourself to be imposing and worthy of respect and attention, people often ignore you. You struggle to get dates. You never get picked for the promotion, and you may even struggle in interviews, frequently passed up for someone who was not nearly as qualified but better at influence and persuasion. You can fix this flaw, however. With the art of subliminal psychology, you can begin to systematically open all of those doors that were previously slammed shut in your face.

From bargains in the Big Apple to the bustling bazaars of Istanbul, from in-store to interactive and online to mobile, neuromarketing pioneer Dr. David Lewis goes behind the scenes of the "persuasion industry" to reveal the powerful tools, techniques, technologies, and psychologies seeking to stimulate us all to buy more - often without us consciously realizing it.

Drawing on humorous examples, true stories, and playful analogies, Connection Mode shows how our nervous system—including a surprisingly common missed opportunity to finish our lower brain development—often interferes with our lives in ways we don’t even realize. Connection Mode distills decades of compelling information from the Brain Highways program, which has guided 20,000 kids and adults to improve their lives by changing their brain and nervous system. The book offers a simple, time-tested trifecta approach for restoring our nervous system’s flexibility.

This is a book about practical neuroscience. That means that while it is scientifically based, it gets down to how you can compensate for your brain's evolutionary habits and excel in spite of them. Our brains are stuck in the year 10,000 BC, so let's find out how to make that work for us.

What we've discovered about our amazing minds in only the past 10 years is mind-blowing. Nerve-racking living may really wipeout brain cells and low self-regard contracts your brain up to 20 percent. Then your intelligence quotient, power to get happy and accomplish personal success goes right down the drain along with your brain power and positive thinking.

Featuring a wealth of sample puzzles ranging from simple to extremely challenging, this lively and engaging book brings together many of the most ingenious puzzles ever devised, including the "Hardest Logic Puzzle Ever", metapuzzles, paradoxes, and the logic puzzles in detective stories.

Brain Break offers a deep dive into the psychology behind brain rest and why it's crucial for mental clarity and emotional well-being. Discover practical strategies to quiet your mind, reduce stress, and recharge your cognitive functions. This book provides science-backed insights and easy-to-follow exercises designed to help you achieve mental calm and focus.

Sex and our ability to enjoy it changes over time, not only because of age, but also thanks to societal expectations and ever-evolving social media. Sex won’t always remain static in terms of satisfaction, which is why you need to be open to adapt as time goes on. Easier said than done, is probably what you’re thinking. And it’s completely true. But as with any new knowledge and understanding, it takes time to fully establish a proper footing on the subject. The reward, however, is more than worth it.

Many people claim they would rather be diagnosed with cancer than dementia or Alzheimer's. What they may not realize is that decreased or impaired brain function is not a foregone conclusion as we get older. Our own lifestyle choices and habits can have a significant impact - for good or ill - on our brains. And that means there's hope. Drawing from the latest medical research, Dr. Richard Furman helps listeners understand brain health and shows them how to make three powerful lifestyle changes that can help decrease the probability of developing dementia or Alzheimer's.

We all wish we could move people to do things our way. Our lives would be so much further ahead if we could get people to do stuff for us, to buy from us, to do certain things, and so on. Unfortunately, for many of us, being able to get people to do stuff that we want them to do is a dream. Just imagine how different your life would be if you could get prospective customers, colleagues, employees, investors, friends, and literally anyone to do what you want them to do without you having to beg, cajole, or threaten. Sounds too good to be true, I know, but you can do it, too!

Many of my readers and listeners email me. They may be in relationships with people who are diagnosed with OCPD, or they have been diagnosed with OCPD themselves. Some of them have parents, siblings, children, or friends with OCPD. Many people who know someone with OCPD want to know how to help the OCPD sufferer from doing some of his or her repetitive or negative behaviors. They may be bothered by the OCPD person's behaviors, or they want to help the OCPD person to live a more fulfilling life overall.

Dans ce livre clair et concis, Sharon Dirckx (prononcez «Dirix»), docteure en sciences du cerveau, aide nos cerveaux à réfléchir à… nos cerveaux. En s’appuyant sur les travaux de biologistes, de philosophes, de psychologues et de théologiens, l'auteure crée des passerelles entre les neurosciences et la foi chrétienne. De quoi proposer des réponses aux questions fondamentales de notre existence. Préparez-vous à être étonné par votre cerveau et peut-être même à découvrir qui vous êtes réellement!

We are constantly told to make the most of our time. Work harder, with more focus. Stop procrastinating. Optimize. To be happy, creative, and successful requires discipline. The most important thing is to be efficient with every precious hour. But what if all that advice was wrong, and letting the brain rest, and the mind wander, could improve our lives? Dr. Joseph Jebelli proves this surprising and fascinating point in The Brain at Rest, blending science and personal stories with practical tips about using the brain’s “default network.”

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.

Expanding upon one of the most-read New York Times Magazine features of 2012, Smarter penetrates the hot new field of intelligence research to reveal what researchers call a revolution in human intellectual abilities. Shattering decades of dogma, scientists began publishing studies in 2008 showing that "fluid intelligence" - the ability to learn, solve novel problems, and get to the heart of things - can be increased through training. But is it all just hype?

We all have habits we’d like to break, but for many of us it can be nearly impossible to do so. There is a good reason for this: The brain is a habit-building machine. In Hard to Break, leading neuroscientist Russell Poldrack provides an engaging and authoritative account of the science of how habits are built in the brain, why they are so hard to break, and how evidence-based strategies may help us change unwanted behaviors.

If you’re reading this, you’re probably looking for ways to overcome stress. What if I told you that you could rewire your own brain to make that possible? No, this isn’t science fiction. In fact, you do it every time you learn something new. If you want to be in control of your life instead of anxiety telling you what you can and cannot do, keep reading. The human brain is capable of amazing feats, and we have power over how it works and what it does. Instead of being inflexible, it is pliable and will work the way you want and direct it to work.
