Описание:
Inside the science behind why we do the things we know aren't good for us.
The Science of Sin brings together the latest findings from neuroscience research to shed light on the universally fascinating subject of temptation--where it comes from, how to resist it and why we all succumb from time to time. With chapters inspired by the seven deadly sins, neurobiologist Jack Lewis illuminates the neural battles between temptation and restraint that take place within our brains, suggesting strategies to help us better manage our most troublesome impulses with the explicit goal of improving our health, our happiness and our productivity. Anyone who has ever wondered why they never seem to be able to stick to their diet, who marvels at how little work some of their colleagues get away with doing, who despairs at the anti-social behavior of their teenagers, who can't understand how cheaters can juggle extra-marital affairs, who struggles to resist the lure of the comfy sofa and the giant bag of chips, or who makes themselves thoroughly bitter by endlessly comparing themselves to others--this book is for you.
Описание: 'Entertaining and enlightening ... offers ways to temper our anti-social tendencies.' Dr Michael Mosley, science journalist and TV presenter It can often seem that we are utterly surrounded by temptation, from the ease of online shopping and the stream of targeted advertising encouraging us to greedily acquire yet more stuff, to the coffee, cake and fast-food shops that line our streets, beckoning us in to over-indulge on all the wrong things. It can feel like a constant battle to stay away from the temptations we know we shouldn t give in to.
Where exactly do these urges come from? If we know we shouldn t do something, for the sake of our health, our pockets or our reputation, why is it often so very hard to do the right thing? Anyone who has ever wondered why they never seem to be able to stick to their diet, anyone to whom the world seems more vain and self-obsessed than ever, anyone who can't understand why love-cheats pursue their extra-marital affairs, anyone who struggles to resist the lure of the comfy sofa, or anyone who makes themselves bitter through endless comparison with other people, anyone who is addicted to their smartphone this book is for you. The Science of Sin brings together the latest findings from neuroscience research to shed light on the universally fascinating subject of temptation where it comes from, how to resist it and why we all tend to succumb from time to time. With each chapter inspired by one of the seven deadly sins, neurobiologist Jack Lewis illuminates the neural battles between temptation and restraint that take place within our brains, suggesting strategies to help us better manage our most troublesome impulses with the explicit goal of improving our health, our happiness and our productivity helping us to say no! more often, especially when it really counts.
Описание: Notes to Boys: And Other Things I Shouldn't Share in Public is a mortifying memoir from bestselling author and tv/film writer Pamela Ribon. Miserably trapped in small town Texas with no invention of the internet in sight, Ribon spent countless hours of her high school years writing letters to her (often unrequited) crushes. The big question is: why did she always keep a copy for herself? Wince along with Ribon as she tries to understand exactly how she ever thought she'd win a boy's heart by writing him a letter that began: Share with me your soul, and ends with some remarkably awkward erotica. You'll come for the incredibly bad poetry, you'll stay for the incredibly bad poetry about racism.

Описание: "Change the way you look at things and the things you look at change." This is the principle on which EQUILIBRIUM answers What Makes People Do Things They Shouldn't DoThe book unveils 20+ personality traits along with their specific reasons that actually cause someone to behave in a particular way. Such traits include but is not limited to anger, cheating, obstinate, sarcasm etc.Reading EQUILIBRIUM, you will be able to: - Understand why someone might be doing something they normally shouldn't do- Find peace as you realize the other's point of view- Identify handwriting strokes that denote a particular personality trait- Manage conflicts in a better wayEXCERPT: It is so common to misunderstand someone's action or just reacting without understanding why someone might have done something. I too was one among them, when ultimately I decided to change my POV (Point-Of-View). I tried to look through other's eyes to get the answer of why they would have done something which is bothering me. To my surprise, whenever I contemplated about this, I always got the answer, and most of the times, finding this answer brought more peace in my life than it would have if I didn't bother to change my perception.To explain it in a better way, let me share with you a story. Once, there lived a couple in a house. The wife kept complaining about the neighbor's dirty clothes. She kept complaining, "That lady doesn't know how to wash clothes properly. She doesn't even have proper eye sight to see that the clothes are still dirty." This incident repeated for a couple of days when finally one day she said with a smile, "Well, seems like someone finally taught her how to wash clothes." Her husband looked towards her and said, "Honey, nobody taught her how to wash clothes. I just cleaned our house's window." Many a times, we are looking through the dirty window and feel that other person is wrong.---------THE GOAL OF A MOVEBefore we start learning about what makes people do things they shouldn't do, it is important to understand why someone would do something at the first place. Take an example of touching a hot pan. As soon as you feel the hotness, your body's reflex action kicks in and the hand is automatically pulled away. You didn't even do anything, then why such a move? It is a defense mechanism of the body to protect you from harm.What happens when you are afraid or when you are doing an adventure sport, say bungee jumping, for instance? Your heart starts pounding against your ribs. Your senses get better. This is a "fight of flight" mode (no no not airplane mode) of your body. The body releases adrenaline hormone that prepares the body for action. This too is not under your control. It too is a defense mechanism of the body for survival. There might be so many other defense mechanisms of the body like these that help with our survival, whether it is white blood cells who work to fight bacteria or the platelets that clog off a cut, one thing is clear - they all are meant to keep us alive.---------CHAPTER - 4: THE SUPER-SENSITIVEAnother personality which you might have met in life is the super-sensitive. They are the people who take everything to heart. They are passionate, no doubt, but at times become passionate about unnecessary stuff, such as being upset that they missed the first show of their favorite actor's new movie. Not only just that, they will be upset for it for months, and sometimes even years No kidding THE TRAIT: In handwriting analysis, this trait is called the same - high sensitivity. It is common to see this trait in passionate people or people who get aggressive very easily. They make use of force and energy to get things done. They put in their strength in everything they do, including writing something.
