  • Rethinking Intelligence - A Radical New Understanding of Our Human Potential - cover

    Rethinking Intelligence - A...

    A genetics expert and professor challenges our understanding of intelligence, explaining what it truly means to be “smart,” why conventional assessments are misleading, and what everyone can do to optimize their potential. 
    Growing up in middle-class suburban Los Angeles in the 1980s, Rina Bliss saw intelligence as her ticket out. Like height and stature, intelligence was said to run in families. The prevailing idea was that mental capacity was determined by our DNA and could be measured; a simple IQ test could predict a child’s future. 
    Yet, once Dr. Bliss looked closer, first as a student, then as a scientist, and later as a mom of identical twins who share a genome, she began to challenge conventional wisdom about innate intelligence. In Rethinking Intelligence, she shares her findings, drawing on cutting-edge scientific research to offer a new model for how we understand, define, and assess intelligence, using a measurement that is far more flexible and expansive. 
    Intelligence has little to do with standardized test results or other conventional measures of intellect, Dr. Bliss argues. Intelligence is a process, a journey defined by change that cannot be scored or taken away. Intelligence is influenced by our surroundings in ways that are often overlooked—more than Baby Mozart or flash cards or superfoods, factors like stress, connection, and play actually sculpt young minds. 
    In Rethinking Intelligence, Dr. Bliss shares insights from the burgeoning science of epigenetics to help us harness our environments to empower our minds. If we truly want to nurture potential, we must eliminate toxic stress so that our genes can work optimally, in harmony with our environment. Dr. Bliss offers successful strategies we can use as individuals and a society, including embracing a growth mindset, prioritizing connection, becoming more mindful, and reforming systemic issues—poverty, racism, the lack of quality early childhood education—that have a negative and lasting neurobiological impact. 
    Joining acclaimed works by Carol Dweck, Amy Cuddy, and James Clear, Rethinking Intelligence reframes human behavior and intellect, offering a new perspective for understanding ourselves and our children, and the practical tools necessary to thrive.

    In the Shadows of the Stars -...

    The concept of the universe has captivated human curiosity for centuries, but what lies at its edge? The truth is that the edge of the universe is not defined by a physical boundary but by the limits of what we can observe and understand. Space stretches endlessly in every direction, but as we look farther and farther, the light from distant objects becomes increasingly redshifted, eventually disappearing beyond our ability to detect it. This phenomenon marks the boundary of the observable universe, a region from which light has had enough time to reach us since the beginning of the universe, around 13.8 billion years ago. 
    At the edge of the observable universe, we find a vast expanse of empty space, known as the "cosmic void." These regions contain few galaxies, stars, or other celestial objects, and their emptiness gives them an eerie and mysterious quality. The voids between galaxies are immense, sometimes stretching hundreds of millions of light-years across, and they represent one of the most puzzling aspects of cosmology. Why are these vast expanses of nothingness so prevalent? And what does it mean for the structure of the universe? 
    As we peer deeper into space, we encounter objects that have been traveling towards us for billions of years, their light providing a glimpse into the past. The most distant galaxies, discovered using advanced telescopes, show us the early universe as it was just a few hundred million years after the Big Bang. These galaxies offer valuable clues about the formation of stars, galaxies, and larger cosmic structures. However, the farther we look, the more difficult it becomes to see clearly. The expansion of the universe means that galaxies are moving away from us at an accelerating rate, causing their light to become increasingly stretched out, or redshifted. This makes them harder to detect and study, and the universe seems to grow darker the farther we look.
