Описание: Forty years ago, Israeli psychologists Daniel Kahneman and Amos Tversky wrote a series of breathtakingly original studies undoing our assumptions about the decision-making process. Their papers showed the ways in which the human mind erred, systematically, when forced to make judgments in uncertain situations. Their work created the field of behavioral economics, revolutionized Big Data studies, advanced evidence-based medicine, led to a new approach to government regulation, and made much of Michael Lewis's own work possible.
Kahneman and Tversky are more responsible than anybody for the powerful trend to mistrust human intuition and defer to algorithms. The Undoing Project is about a compelling collaboration between two men who have the dimensions of great literary figures. They became heroes in the university and on the battlefield--both had important careers in the Israeli military--and their research was deeply linked to their extraordinary life experiences.
Amos Tversky was a brilliant, self-confident warrior and extrovert, the center of rapt attention in any room; Kahneman, a fugitive from the Nazis in his childhood, was an introvert whose questing self-doubt was the seedbed of his ideas. They became one of the greatest partnerships in the history of science, working together so closely that they couldn't remember whose brain originated which ideas, or who should claim credit. They flipped a coin to decide the lead authorship on the first paper they wrote, and simply alternated thereafter.
This story about the workings of the human mind is explored through the personalities of two fascinating individuals so fundamentally different from each other that they seem unlikely friends or colleagues. In the process they may well have changed, for good, mankind's view of its own mind.

Trust, but Verify uses trust—with its emotional and predictive aspects—to explore international relations in the second half of the Cold War, beginning with the late 1960s. The d?tente of the 1970s led to the development of some limited trust between the United States and the Soviet Union, which lessened international tensions and enabled advances in areas such as arms control. However, it also created uncertainty in other areas, especially on the part of smaller states that depended on their alliance leaders for protection. The contributors to this volume look at how the "emotional" side of the conflict affected the dynamics of various Cold War relations: between the superpowers, within the two ideological blocs, and inside individual countries on the margins of the East–West confrontation.

Описание: Kyra Mackensie, a psychotherapist who experienced abuse as a child, knows firsthand the devastation this can cause in an individual's life. One night she dreams of a world in which a virus was created that causes increasingly distressing symptoms in any perpetrator's body whenever they attempt to harm a child. Through the construction and release of this anti-child abuse virus, Kyra fulfills a lifelong wish of eradicating child abuse and eliminating its destructive consequences for humanity. In developing and distributing this virus, Kyra must face challenges in her own healing and growth process. With the help and support of Scott Resnick, who brings together a team of experts to construct this virus, Kyra visits Ocean Retreat, a spiritual center and the home of two Masters of ancient wisdom-Brothers of the Light-Damien Chong (DC) and Rapheal D'mer-whose guidance bring Kyra's and Scott's awareness and abilities to a more enlightened and powerful level. Kyra and Scott must make use of these abilities to protect Kyra and her young son Bruce from Korman, a Brother of the Dark. Korman vows to stop the release of the virus with the aid of other dark forces if Kyra doesn't join him on his self-centered path. Kyra, a widow who has not had a romantic relationship in the two years since her husband passed away, falls in love with Scott and expresses her feelings to him. While he admits that he loves her too, there is a question as to whether or not this relationship can withstand the obstacles of fulfilling their mission of transforming the world into a safe and loving environment for all children What makes The Chrysalis Project Mission: Eradicate Child Abuse unique in spiritual fiction is the depth of the teachings that it offers as well as its ability to entertain. Its intended audience are those readers: fascinated by the processes of their internal lives; interested in understanding their dreams; who enjoy visionary spiritual fiction; who relish love stories; and are intrigued by the idea of a mystical Path of Enlightenment.

Описание:
This book presents the results of the most complete and updated assessment of cognitive resources of students in Latin America: the Study of Latin American Intelligence (SLATINT). During four years, top researchers of the region used a standardized set of cognitive measures to assess 4,000 students aged between 14 and 15 years from six countries: Brazil, Argentina, Mexico, Chile, Colombia and Peru. The data collected and now analyzed in this volume is a first step to understand the human cognitive capital of the region, a crucial resource for any country today. Intelligence research has shown that the cognitive skills of a population are strongly associated with the school performance of its students and the development of a nation. This makes Intelligence Measurement and School Performance in Latin America a valuable tool both for Latin American researchers and authorities engaged in the improvement of each country’s human resources and for psychologists, educators and other social scientists dedicated to the study of the impact of intelligence in the development of nations.
