Simplifying Complexity: Life is Uncertain Unfair and Unequal

Bruce J. West

Maison d'édition: Bentham Science Publishers

Synopsis

In life, we often face unavoidable complexities in terms of our ability to understand or influence outcomes. Some questions which arise due to these complexities are: Why can’t the future be made certain? Why do the some people or events always end up at the center of controversy? Why do only a select few get ahead of their peers? Each question pertains to three central elements of complexities and these elements are: uncertainty, inequality and unfairness.
Simplifying Complexity explains the scientific study of complex cognitive networks, as well as the methods scientists use to parse difficult problems into manageable pieces. Readers are introduced to scientific methodology and thought processes, followed by a discourse on perspectives on the three elements of complexity through concepts such as normal and non-normal statistics, scaling and complexity management.  
Simplifying Complexity combines basic cognitive science and scientific philosophy for both advanced students (in the fields of sociology, cognitive science, complex networks and change management) and for general readers looking for a more scientific guide to understanding and managing the nature of change in a complex world.

Kundalini's Grace Revealed in...

Dr. Kunwar Singh

‘Having supported many on the path of 
Kundalini awakening, I recognize the 
rarity of such a journey.’ 
From the foreword of this book, 
by Santosh Sachdeva, 
author of The Kundalini Trilogy 
What begins as a spark of bliss can turn into a raging fire, burning through the mind, the body and every illusion of control. In Kundalini’s Grace Revealed in the Light of Advaita, Dr Kunwar Singh offers an unflinching and compassionate account of the fierce process of Kundalini awakening, where despair meets ecstasy and fire becomes grace. Moving through visions, insomnia, agony and revelation, this book is both a memoir and a guide for seekers who find themselves lost in the intensity of spiritual transformation through Kundalini awakening. 
Guided by the Advaitic wisdom of his guru, Gautam Sachdeva, the author reveals how the storms of awakening can be anchored in clarity and surrender. The vivid prose and devotional poetry that surged impulsively from within him illuminate the union of Kundalini and Advaita, Shakti and Shiva, energy and silence, and devotion and dissolution. 
This is not a story of attaining powers or escaping pain. It is the story of being burnt clean, of learning to trust that by which the ego is destroyed—Kundalini—in order to reveal that which cannot be destroyed—the Self.

He skillfully explores the whole corpus of moral reflection among philosophers (Plutarch, Epictetus, Marcus Aurelius, Seneca) and physicians of the era, and uncovers an increasing mistrust of pleasure and growing anxiety over sexual activity and its consequences.
