Sinopsis

In "If, Yes and Perhaps," Edward Everett Hale employs a unique narrative style that weaves together fiction and philosophical musings, inviting readers to explore the complexities of human choice and the nature of possibility. The book presents a series of vignettes that articulate the intricate interplay between decisions made and those left unmade, demonstrating a profound engagement with the moral and ethical dimensions of human existence. Hale's use of imaginative scenarios reveals a nuanced understanding of Victorian culture, addressing themes such as optimism and skepticism in a rapidly changing world. Edward Everett Hale, a prominent American author and social reformer of the 19th century, was deeply influenced by the intellectual currents of his time, including transcendentalism and the burgeoning field of psychology. Throughout his career, Hale championed social justice and sought to inspire action through his writings. His own experiences as a Unitarian minister and advocate for education and civil rights informed the introspective and often contemplative tone of this work, making it a significant reflection of his philosophical concerns. This book is highly recommended for readers interested in the intersections of literature, ethics, and personal agency. "If, Yes and Perhaps" offers a rich tapestry of thought that challenges readers to consider their own choices and the myriad possibilities that lie ahead. Hale's eloquent prose and insightful commentary make this work not merely a literary endeavor but a profound exploration of the human condition.

    Anxiety - A Philosophical Guide

    Today, anxiety is usually thought of as a pathology, the most diagnosed and medicated of all psychological disorders. But anxiety isn't always or only a medical condition. Indeed, many philosophers argue that anxiety is a normal, even essential, part of being human, and that coming to terms with this fact is potentially transformative. In Anxiety, Samir Chopra explores valuable insights about anxiety offered by ancient and modern philosophies. Blending memoir and philosophy, he also tells how serious anxiety has affected his own life—and how philosophy has helped him cope with it. 
     
     
     
    Chopra shows that many philosophers have viewed anxiety as an inevitable human response to existence: to be is to be anxious. Drawing on Karl Marx and Herbert Marcuse, Chopra examines how poverty and other material conditions can make anxiety worse, but he emphasizes that not even the rich can escape it. Nor can the medicated. Inseparable from the human condition, anxiety is indispensable for grasping it. Philosophy may not be able to cure anxiety but, by leading us to greater self-knowledge and self-acceptance, it may be able to make us less anxious about being anxious. 
     
     
     
    Personal, poignant, and hopeful, Anxiety is a book for anyone who is curious about rethinking anxiety and learning why it might be a source not only of suffering but of insight.

    How can obedience and carrying out orders lead to horrific acts such as the Holocaust or the genocides in Rwanda, Cambodia, or Bosnia? For the most part, it is a mystery why obeying instructions from an authority can convince people to kill other human beings, sometimes without hesitation and with incredible cruelty. Combining social and cognitive neuroscience with real-life accounts from genocide perpetrators, this book sheds light on the process through which obedience influences cognition and behavior. Emilie Caspar, a leading expert in the field, translates this neuroscientific approach into a clear, uncomplicated explanation, even for those with no background in psychology or neuroscience. By better understanding humanity's propensity for direct orders to short-circuit our own independent decision-making, we can edge closer to effective prevention processes.

    A new model of executive functioning which illuminates the somatic, social, and emotional influences on how we make decisions. 
     
    Executive functioning (EF) can be defined as a person's ability to successfully navigate their physical, intellectual, and social worlds. Interest in EF is expanding within psychotherapy, but like many scientific concepts which are adapted to the consulting room, there is a great deal of confusion and misinformation surrounding EF within clinical and lay communities. 
     
    In this book, Louis Cozolino—a master of translating complex neuroscientific concepts into digestible, applicable literature for therapists and laypeople alike—is joined by experts Chloe Drulis and Carly Trissler to illuminate how our brains and minds successfully navigate the challenges of day—to—day life. The book offers a new, neurodynamic model of EF that explains the three main executive systems in the brain and the specific ways that they influence how we think, focus, and solve problems. This neurobiological framework highlights the interconnectedness of cognition, emotion, and relationships, providing readers with a deeper understanding of how humans function and strategies to improve outcomes in therapy, parenting, executive coaching, and personal development.

    Technology has always played a fundamental role in shaping human societies, influencing how people communicate, work, and interact with the world around them. Social change, in turn, refers to the transformation of cultural, economic, and political structures over time. The relationship between technology and social change is deeply intertwined, as technological innovations can drive profound shifts in society, while social needs and challenges often inspire new technological developments. 
    Throughout history, technological advancements have acted as catalysts for change, altering the way people live and interact. The agricultural revolution, for example, enabled the transition from nomadic lifestyles to settled civilizations, fostering population growth and social organization. The industrial revolution transformed economies by introducing mechanization, mass production, and urbanization, dramatically reshaping labor markets and social structures. More recently, the digital revolution has revolutionized communication, education, and business through the rise of computers, the internet, and artificial intelligence. 
    One key aspect of understanding technology and social change is recognizing that technological progress is not inherently neutral.
