  Science Ideated - The Fall Of...

  Leading-edge empirical observations are increasingly difficult to reconcile with "scientific" materialism. Laboratory results in quantum mechanics, for instance, strongly indicate that there is no autonomous world of tables and chairs out there. Coupled with the inability of materialist neuroscience to explain consciousness, this is forcing both science and philosophy to contemplate alternative worldviews. Analytic idealism—the notion that reality, while equally amenable to scientific inquiry, is fundamentally mental—is a leading contender to replace "scientific" materialism.  
   
   
   
  In this book, the broad body of empirical evidence and reasoning in favor of analytic idealism is reviewed in an accessible manner. The book brings together a number of highly influential essays previously published by major media outlets such as Scientific American and the Institute of Art and Ideas. The essays have been revised and improved, while two never-before-published essays have been added. The resulting argument anticipates a historically imminent transition to a scientific worldview that, while elegantly accommodating all known empirical evidence and predictive models, regards mind not matter as the ground of all reality.

  DISCLAIMER: THIS IS NOT THE OFFICIAL BOOK. 
  This is a summary, & it does not accompany the official 
  "Dare to Lead" by Brené Brown challenges conventional notions of leadership by emphasizing that true leadership isn't about titles or power but about recognizing and developing the potential in people and ideas. Brown contends that daring leadership involves curiosity, asking the right questions, sharing power, embracing vulnerability, and engaging in tough conversations when necessary. 
  In a world marked by scarcity and uncertainty, where machines and AI are taking on more tasks, Brown argues that human traits like empathy, connection, and courage are what leaders should focus on developing. Drawing from her extensive research and experiences working with leaders globally, she addresses the universal question of how to cultivate braver and more daring leaders while embedding a culture of courage. 
  In her characteristic no-nonsense style, Brown identifies four teachable and measurable skill sets that constitute daring leadership. She emphasizes that choosing courage over comfort is a challenging but essential endeavor and encourages readers to show up with their whole hearts in their leadership roles. Whether you're familiar with Brené Brown's previous work or new to her ideas, "Dare to Lead" is a valuable resource for anyone seeking to step up and become a brave leader.
