  What gives the human brain the creative ability that defines us all as individuals? Although the silicon version is hard on its heels, the brain remains the most remarkable computer in existence. Leading us through cognitive theory, neuroscience and Darwinian evolution with his trademark wit and wisdom, Michael Corballis explains what we know-and don't know-about our minds. How do we know if we're really the top dogs in brain power? Does our creativity stem solely from the right brain? From language to standing upright, composing music to bull, he uncovers our most common misconceptions and the fascinating habits and abilities that make us human.

  Through a Glass Brightly - Using...

  In Through a Glass Brightly, noted scientist David P. Barash explores the process by which science has, throughout time, cut humanity "down to size," and how humanity has responded. A good paradigm is a tough thing to lose, especially when its replacement leaves us feeling more vulnerable and less special. And yet, as science has progressed, we find ourselves—like it or not—bereft of many of our most cherished beliefs, confronting an array of paradigms lost.Barash models his argument around a set of "old" and "new" paradigms that define humanity's place in the universe. This new set of paradigms range from provocative revelations as to whether human beings are well designed, whether the universe has somehow been established with our species in mind (the so-called anthropic principle), whether life itself is inherently fragile, and whether Homo sapiens might someday be genetically combined with other species (and what that would mean for our self-image). Rather than seeing ourselves through a glass darkly, science enables us to perceive our strengths and weaknesses brightly and accurately at last, so that paradigms lost becomes wisdom gained. The result is a bracing, remarkably hopeful view of who we really are.

  Leave Me Alone and I'll Make You...

  The economist and historian Deirdre Nansen McCloskey has been best known recently for her Bourgeois Era trilogy, a vigorous defense, unrivaled in scope, of commercially tested betterment. Its massive volumes, The Bourgeois Virtues, Bourgeois Dignity, and Bourgeois Equality, solve Adam Smith's puzzle of the nature and causes of the wealth of nations, and of the moral sentiments of modernity. The world got rich, she argues, not chiefly by material causes but by an idea and a sentiment, a new admiration for the middle class and its egalitarian liberalism.For listeners looking for a distillation of McCloskey's magisterial work, Leave Me Alone and I'll Make You Rich is what you've been waiting for. In this lively volume, McCloskey and the economist and journalist Carden bring together the trilogy's key ideas and its most provocative arguments.Leave Me Alone and I'll Make You Rich draws in entertaining fashion on history, economics, literature, philosophy, and popular culture, from growth theory to The Simpsons. It is the perfect introduction for a broad audience to McCloskey's influential explanation of how we got rich.

  Effortless by Greg McKeown - Book Summary 
   
  Effortless by Greg McKeown - Book Summary • Important note: this is not the original book, this is an audiobook summary of "Effortless: Make it Easier to Do What Matters Most by Greg McKeown"  
   
  About  
  Greg McKeown’s first book, Essentialism, was all about how eliminating the unnecessary can help us identify and prioritize what matters most in our lives. And in his second book, Effortless, Greg teaches us how to take seamless-yet-focused action on what matters most in our lives. McKeown reveals he wrote this book to help you lighten your burdens, not to downplay them; to make it easier to focus on what matters most. The Effortless State is when you feel fully focused on your work—you don’t feel rushed, but you do feel present; you don’t feel overwhelmed, but you do feel capable; you don’t feel like you’re working on the wrong thing, because you’ve already identified the right thing to work on in any given moment. When these elements are in place, you can take effortless action. In this book summary, we’ll cover how to make that happen. 
   
  Here’s what you’ll learn about in this book summary: How to identify—and make it easier to do—what matters most to you in life.How the biggest thing keeping us from doing what matters is the false assumption that it must require tremendous effort.How to boost your productivity and focus by making the easy but pointless things harder to do, while making the essential and meaningful things easier to do.And much, much more… 
   
  Tweetable Summary  
  Life doesn’t have to be as hard and complicated as we make it. Simplify and take action.
