Economic Business and Artificial...

Steve Dafoe

Recently, I learned about General Artificial Intelligence and the implications it will have in our lives. The array of opinions crosses the full spectrum from the wonderful ways it will improve our lives to the fear it could unleash a ‘Self-Controlled Superintelligence’ that may not align itself with human social and ethical constructs. This subject is fast moving rocket and it is important that everyone understands some key terms when it comes to Artificial Intelligence. Whether you know it or not, AI touches your lives today and in future, will increase exponentially as it exerts this massive influence in our lives. 
In addition, being a student of Economics and Business, I always seek to refresh my knowledge of key terms in these areas. Economics, Business and Politics overlap a great deal in academia and in real-world applications. Artificial Intelligence will add for the better bringing the fields of Business, Politics and Economics together for the betterment of society. 
Contained within is a small list of common terms in the areas of Economics, Business and Artificial Intelligence. Political terms are not included here but you will read some definitions of Economics that do have an overlap of political inferences. 
I hope these terms and definitions provide some insight into the world of economics, business, and artificial intelligence. They all affect your lives more than you realize.

Claude Agentic Sonnet Guide - A...

Jake Morrison

This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. You are not looking at a toy when you open Claude Sonnet 5; you are looking at one of the most capable professional assistants ever placed on a laptop. Yet the gap between what it can do and what most people ever ask of it is enormous. This book exists to close that gap, serving as five guides in one volume, each focused on a different way a working professional can put Claude Sonnet 5 to use, from writing better prompts to running entire agentic workflows that finish work while you sleep. 
 
This is a field manual for the professional who wants results, not an abstract tour of artificial intelligence. It covers the simple but overlooked setup choices that turn a casual chat into a dependable workspace, the discipline of prompt craft, and the power of agentic workflows where Claude becomes a doer that plans, acts, and verifies. The examples lean toward the work that actually piles up, including writing, research, coding, reporting, and coordinating. You will learn how to brief the model properly so it performs like a senior colleague, not a generic bot. 
 
Inside, you'll discover: 
 
• How to set up your professional workspace with Projects, Artifacts, and custom instructions 
 
• The right mental model for treating Claude as a capable junior partner 
 
• How to write prompts that actually work, including roles, constraints, and output control 
 
• The power of multi-step prompting and self-correction techniques 
 
• What "agentic" really means and how to leverage Claude Code and Claude Cowork

Delusional Disorder: Delusion...

JS Williams

What is a delusion—and when does a fixed false belief become a disorder in its own right? Delusion Illness to Delusional Schizophrenia, Exploring Types and Characteristics offers the first comprehensive, integrative guide to delusional disorder, one of psychiatry’s most misunderstood conditions. Blending clinical expertise with lived experience, the book explores the full spectrum of delusion illness—from circumscribed paranoid beliefs to the overlap with delusional schizophrenia—and provides a clinical tour of the types of delusions that define this complex diagnosis.
 
Drawing on best‑selling memoirs, pioneering research, and decades of clinical wisdom, this volume traces the history of diagnostic boundaries, from Kraepelin’s paranoia to today’s dimensional models. It details the characteristics of delusional disorder, including the non‑bizarre criterion, preserved functioning, and islands of insight, and offers practical guidance on pharmacotherapy, cognitive‑behavioral therapy, family intervention, and forensic considerations.
 
Centering the voices of individuals like Elyn Saks and Esmé Weijun Wang, the book illuminates the terror, isolation, and hard‑won recovery of living with fixed false beliefs. It addresses families, cultural humility, and the ethical complexities of involuntary treatment—always returning to the person behind the delusion.
 
For clinicians, trainees, families, and anyone seeking a deeper understanding, this book delivers rigorous science with deep humanity. Delusional disorder is real. But the person who holds it is always more.
