How Did Life End Up With Us? -...

Ss O'Connor

Why does the gene behave like a hedge fund manager? Why are mutations like a gambling scam? Why does nothing ever become top dog in life and win forever? Humans only arrived after 99.99% of the time there’s been life on earth. So what was here before us? And how did these species, and the evolutionary process that created them, end up with the unpromising creatures that were our ancestors?In this, the first book of The Secrets of Life quartet, SS O’Connor brings his outsider’s, questioning eye to reveal the great forces that lie behind life: from the laws that arose with Big Bang, through to the ‘decisions’ that organisms make to determine their chances.But how did everything come about? And what made some life forms succeed - while others would join the 99.9% of species that appeared, yet went on to become extinct? The story goes right back to our single-celled forebears - the only things that were on the planet for 80% of its existence, and then continues as it lays out the ways that successive transmissions built increasing complexity, and how the resulting species found their synergistic ways of coexisting. In an easy-going, conversational style, O'Connor explains in lay-man's language how the gene is the great conductor of life’s orchestra, how it helped millions of life forms to refine themselves - yet why it also sees failure, death and extinctions as opportunities rather than disasters. Last, the book tells the story of the men who unpicked the mysteries, what they meant by fitness and ‘the fittest’, but why they continued to be baffled by organisms that broke the rules by helping each other. Why would some even choose to be sterile when producing the next generation was the overriding compulsion in life? And why would the answer to this question explain why altruism is the proof for the ‘gene-based theory of evolution’ - and why cooperation was to become the strongest force in life?

Wired for Connection - The...

Carolyn Klassen

Wired for Connection are the lessons clients taught a therapist over a career about love, courage, vulnerability, shame and authenticity
Therapists learn and grow from therapy with clients--and now you can too!
Carolyn graduated from counselling school with a ton of head knowledge. Carolyn read 1000’s of pages and written hundreds more and learned the models and the approaches in the books. Did this therapist know enough to actually help people?
Turns out she didn’t.
That’s where her clients come in. They taught her about life, about therapy, and about relationships.
So much of what clients taught her was paradoxical. Actually, they didn’t teach her—the most important lessons in life are better caught than taught. The lessons were counterintuitive to conventional relationship wisdom.
Together they learned the way to real relationships was messiness, mistakes and discomfort. They noticed the route to acceptance was authenticity, that tears make life better, and that raw courage is often about tender things like saying, “I’m sorry” and “I love you”. And so much more.
Relationships are hard—but we are wired for them. We are wired for struggle and growth. Watching people struggle with their own lives has inspired her to struggle and grow in hers.
Relationships are hard for us all. But if we show up to connect, and we do it anything like right, we learn from each other. We learn from each other in ways that surprise and delight us.
We are wired for connection.
