  Ways of Attending - How our...

  Attention is not just receptive, but actively creative of the world we inhabit. How we attend makes all the difference to the world we experience. And nowadays in the West we generally attend in a rather unusual way: governed by the narrowly focussed, target-driven left hemisphere of the brain.  
  Forget everything you thought you knew about the difference between the hemispheres, because it will be largely wrong. It is not what each hemisphere does – they are both involved in everything – but how it does it, that matters. And the prime difference between the brain hemispheres is the manner in which they attend. For reasons of survival we need one hemisphere (in humans and many animals, the left) to pay narrow attention to detail, to grab hold of things we need, while the other, the right, keeps an eye out for everything else. The result is that one hemisphere is good at utilising the world, the other better at understanding it.  
  Absent, present, detached, engaged, alienated, empathic, broad or narrow, sustained or piecemeal, attention has the power to alter whatever it meets. The play of attention can both create and destroy, but it never leaves its object unchanged. How you attend to something – or don’t attend to it – matters a very great deal. This book helps you to see what it is you may have been trained by our very unusual culture not to see.  
  Ways of Attending is expertly read by Mike Fraser. The cover design has been adapted from a Cajal original drawing, and used with permission of Legado Cajal (Madrid).

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.  
  This book takes a deep dive into the intricate world of epilepsy, encompassing its diagnosis, treatment, and scholarly exploration with a keen critical eye. Its primary mission is to present a compelling argument, challenging the prevailing biomedical approach's narrow focus on the brain as the sole locus of intervention for epilepsy. By doing so, it underscores that such an exclusive perspective falls short of addressing the multidimensional needs of individuals living with epilepsy and comprehending their profound lived experiences. 
  In response to this critical shortfall, it proposes a radical departure from the conventional reliance on pharmaceuticals and biological pathways. This innovative approach promises to unveil novel treatments and foster a holistic understanding of the human body's intricacies. By transcending the current biomedical boundaries, this approach has the power to alleviate the suffering of the estimated 70 million people worldwide who grapple with epilepsy. 
  This book represents a beacon of hope and a new era of enlightenment in epilepsy care, potentially significantly enhancing the quality of life for countless individuals affected by this condition.

  We humans are messy, illogical creatures who like to imagine we’re in control—but we blithely let our biases lead us astray. In Design for Cognitive Bias, David Dylan Thomas lays bare the irrational forces that shape our everyday decisions and, inevitably, inform the experiences we craft. Once we grasp the logic powering these forces, we stand a fighting chance of confronting them, tempering them, and even harnessing them for good. Come along on a whirlwind tour of the cognitive biases that encroach on our lives and our work, and learn to start designing more consciously. 
  THIS BOOK EXPLORES: 
  • Why our brains take shortcuts—and why that matters in our work 
  • How bias influences everything from user behavior to stakeholder decision-making to team dynamics 
  • Techniques for noticing your own biases, and using them for good where you can 
  • Making more humane and conscientious products and experiences
