In this provocative book, Paul Glimcher argues that economic theory may provide an alternative to the classical Cartesian model of the brain and behavior. Glimcher argues that Cartesian dualism operates from the false premise that the reflex is able to describe behavior in the real world that animals inhabit. A mathematically rich cognitive theory, he claims, could solve the most difficult problems that any environment could present, eliminating the need for dualism by eliminating the need for a reflex theory. Such a mathematically rigorous description of the neural processes that connect sensation and action, he explains, will have its roots in microeconomic theory. Economic theory allows physiologists to define both the optimal course of action that an animal might select and a mathematical route by which that optimal solution can be derived. Glimcher outlines what an economics-based cognitive model might look like and how one would begin to test it empirically. Along the way, he presents a fascinating history of neuroscience. He also discusses related questions about determinism, free will, and the stochastic nature of complex behavior.

Описание: Do you have difficulty solving conflicts and problems at work and in your daily life? Do you find it difficult to interact with people in professional and personal settings?
If you're a person who struggles with good communication, and you are not able to listen to the people around you, then reaching mutual understanding in your relationships will prove quite difficult.
Professional relationships are one of the most common types of relationships that people struggle with. When you put more than one person into a room, there can be conflict. Expect it and be ready for it. If you find that two or more members of your team disagree on something, you need to resolve it because this will hold up results. You need to decide on how to deal with the situation.
To adequately arrive at the best decisions, you need an important skill called critical thinking.
In this book, you will learn:
- How to apply the critical thinking process - the key to settling on profitable choices in the work environment, school, home, and so forth.
- The best decision-making and problem-solving methods that will allow you to think as fast as possible without letting these processes slow you down.
- One of the best skills in your life that you will ever create: How to control your emotions - your feelings can hijack your thinking, which could have a powerful impact on your reactions.
- How to set you and your team up for successful and effective conflict resolution.
- Observe your thoughts and feelings and explain these to other people. Being unable to or ineffective at this can lead to miscommunications or misunderstandings in your relationships.
- The power of empathic listening - how to improve your listening skills by putting yourself in their shoes of the other person in order to understand them accurately.
... And much more
In so many situations around you, the ability to think critically is necessary, from how likely you are to succeed in a job to how likely you are to have a happy and successful relationship.
Strong critical thinkers are more effective in life. They can approach situations in ways that make more sense and can be defended logically. They are less prone to being caught into behaving in ways that are impulsive or incorrect, and because of that, you must learn to be a critical thinker.

Описание: Conflict: How Soldiers Make Impossible Decisions is about making hard choices--where all outcomes are potentially negative. The authors draw on interviews conducted with soldiers about the situations they faced and the decisions they made at war. These are vivid and sometimes distressing stories. They form the data from which the authors explore the cognitive processes associated with choice, commitment to action and (sometimes) error, as well as goal directed thinking, innovation and courage. By referring to real cases, Conflict invites readers to consider their own responses under extreme circumstances and ask themselves how they would choose between difficult options. In doing so this book will go some way to helping readers understand what it feels like when choosing between least-worst decisions.

Have you heard about systems thinkers, and do you want to learn more about them?
Are you interested in improving your behavioral and cognitive abilities to assess circumstances?
If yes, this is the right book for you
A system is composed of interacting parts and relationships. Every part affects the others and is affected by the other parts.
Systemic thinking is wide-view thinking that entails changing one's set of paradigms.
It has evolved since the 20th century as an area of study and practice.
Systems that think as they do in modern times have been around for approximately 60 years, but they have only had a relatively broad audience among non-scientists within the last decade or so.
Thinking structures is a way to look at things, individuals, and organizations worldwide. It consists of principles and methods that give system-thinkers a new, potentially expanding worldview rather than a series of static methodologies or theories.
Thinkers of structures prefer to consider the environment as a series of ongoing interactions, changes, and processes. Systems thinking can extend to almost any field, including businesses, computers, social organizations, the human mind, and computer systems, which we want to understand better.
Self-described system thinkers use a vibrant science and non-scientific literature base consisting of the theories, processes, and philosophies of systems.
The resulting new "mesh" organization is expected to improve the use of resources and management effectiveness through more efficient and imaginative systems and technologies.
This book covers:
Essential thinking skills
Mental models
