Описание: Søvik argues that since there is some indeterminism in the world, agents can be fundamental sources of their actions and thus freer than what compatibilists think without having to appeal to mysterious causation. The theory presupposes a plausible understanding of causation and the self, and shows that in an indetermined world it will sometimes be right to select persons as fundamental causes of their choices.

. !'For the four characters at the heart of Will Self's brilliantly acute novel of our times the five hundred-quid worry bead in their pocket may be both a blessing and a curse. For elderly Dr Zachary Busner it is a mysterious object - 'NO CALLER ID - How should this be interpreted? Is it that the caller is devoid of an identity due to some psychological or physical trauma?' - but also it's his life line to his autistic grandson Ben, whose own connection with technology is, in turn, a vital one.
For Jonathan De'Ath , aka 'the Butcher', MI6 agent, the phone may reveal his best kept secret of all: that Colonel Gawain Thomas, husband, father, and highly-trained tank commander - is Jonathan 's long time lover. And when technology, love and violence finally converge in the wreckage of postwar Iraq, the Colonel and the Spy's dalliance will determine the destiny of nations. Uniting our most urgent contemporary concerns: from the ubiquitous mobile phone to a family in chaos; from the horror of modern war, to the end of privacy, Phone is Will Self's most important and compelling novel to date.

Описание: This is the classic tale of boy meets girl: Girl...goes home with someone else. Meet Eve. She's a dreamer, a feeler, a careening well of sensitivities who can't quite keep her feet on the ground, or steer clear of trouble. She's a laugher, a crier, a quirky and quick-witted bleeding-heart-worrier. Meet Ben. He's an engineer, an expert at leveling floors who likes order, structure, and straight lines. He doesn't opine, he doesn't ruminate, he doesn't simmer until he boils over. So naturally, when the two first cross paths, sparks don't exactly fly. But then they meet again. And again. And then, finally, they find themselves with a deep yet fragile connection that will change the course of their relationship--possibly forever. Follow Eve and Ben as they navigate their twenties on a winding journey through first jobs, first dates, and first breakups; through first reunions, first betrayals and, maybe, first love. This is When Harry Met Sally reimagined; a charming tale told from two unapologetically original points of view. With an acerbic edge and heartwarming humor, debut novelist Leslie Cohen takes us on a tour of what life looks like when it doesn't go according to plan, and explores the complexity, chaos, and comedy in finding a relationship built to last.

Описание: Have you ever felt like you don't push yourself hard enough?
You have all these thoughts and ideas but only act for a day then decommit yourself. It's like for many to pick up a book to only read the first few pages than put it down because it's more effortless to watch TV than to apply yourself. These goals and dreams you've envisioned fade away because you've given up too soon. But that changes now when you learn to finish what you start.
At first, it's an exhausting pattern. You can't trust your own mind to carry you through. The change begins when you strengthen your mind and develop the discipline and mental toughness to grind away at what needs to be done.
Just think about it, every champion failed there way to success. Every failure was a chance to walk away. Every day they trained and pressed forward with the unknown if they would succeed or not. But what's the difference between them you are that they had the willpower to commit and finish what they start.
Inside this book you will discover:
How to unlock the right attitude to forge relentless willpower so you never quit early
The Navy Seal mindset and simple strategies you can apply to grind away at tasks you hate
The hidden rule to push yourself beyond what you thought your limits were
The unconscious anti-habits that hold you back from realizing your true potential
How to rise back to your feet no matter how many times you get knocked down
Your mind is a muscle. Weak muscles quit, break or tear when you need them most. But if you build strong muscles you will be able to lift the heaviest weights. Your mind is a muscle too. Doesn't it make sense to build a mind that can carry you?
It's time to release your excuses. Make the choice to give it a shot right now. Begin to push yourself harder and go beyond when you order your copy of today
Описание: In Free to Learn , developmental psychologist Peter Gray argues that in order to foster children who will thrive in today`s constantly changing world, we must entrust them to steer their own learning and development. Drawing on evidence from anthropology, psychology, and history, he demonstrates that free play is the primary means by which children learn to control their lives, solve problems, get along with peers, and become emotionally resilient. A brave, counterintuitive proposal for freeing our children from the shackles of the curiosity-killing institution we call school, Free to Learn suggests that it`s time to stop asking what`s wrong with our children, and start asking what`s wrong with the system. It shows how we can act,both as parents and as members of society,to improve children`s lives and to promote their happiness and learning.
