  An accessible guide to what statistics really mean, the dangers of misreading them, and how to make smart decisions in an uncertain world. 
   
  Benjamin Franklin famously said that nothing is certain but death and taxes. Yet few of us really understand how to measure the uncertainties we face in life—or how to interpret statistical claims. It’s easy to become overwhelmed by the baffling array of percentages and probabilities we encounter every day. But in Calculated Risks, cognitive scientist Gerd Gigerenzer offers a roadmap for the innumerate. 
   
  Drawing on real-life examples, Gigerenzer shows how our misunderstanding of numbers can endanger our health and security. He dispels the “illusion of certainty” that accompanies everything from medical screenings to DNA evidence. And he explains how statistics are routinely manipulated or misrepresented—and how to see through the deception.

  Do you want something that helps you sleep at night?Do you want to recreate your childhood bedtime story time?Do you wish to have something light to read before going to sleep?Then keep reading!Bedtime tales are an excellent and well-proven method of relaxing and practicing mindfulness. These tales aren't only for kids; they can help you conquer insomnia, get better sleep, and wake up feeling refreshed and reenergized.Doctors suggest that if stories help keep the brains of children busy without making them anxious, they can do the same thing for adults. For adults, the tales may work as a respite for our busy minds and redirect our focus to something tranquil; for children, on the other hand, the stories can be a source of joy and wonder. Considering it from a more pragmatic standpoint, when you lie down, all of the things you have neglected to take care of over the last ten years suddenly come back to you all at once? It's possible that telling ourselves tales before bed will prevent our thoughts from going in that direction. Bedtime tales may help break that specific cycle of negative thinking by diverting our attention away from our worries and onto whatever endearing narrative - or lack thereof - we happen to be enjoying.So what are you waiting for?

  Emotional Intelligence The...

  What springs to your mind when you hear the word intelligence? An image of someone brilliant? Individuals who excel in fields, such as science, physics, mathematics, robotics, and other complicated subjects that require a high level of intelligence?  
  Well, perhaps the last thing that you associate the word intelligence with (if you do at all) is emotional intelligence.  
  According to Daniel Goleman, a renowned psychologist and expert on the subject, emotional intelligence is one form of intelligence that is often overlooked. What we don’t realize is that our emotions can represent a different way of thinking, and they can be valuable tools, which help guide us in the choices and decisions that we make.  
  Emotions can be very powerful. If unmanaged, they can overwhelm you and have a large impact on your life. An example of what unchecked and uncontrolled emotions look like would be those that you see suffering from conditions like anxiety and depression. These conditions stem from the inability to manage those emotions, and in the end, they overwhelm you and end up controlling you instead. They make everything seem impossible – which is why you find yourself feeling stuck, miserable, and often like your situation is hopeless.  
  Being aware of your emotions, and more importantly, what those emotions mean to you, is what emotional intelligence essentially encompasses. This book will explore what it means to possess this kind of intelligence and why it matters more than IQ does in the general success of life. You will learn the core principles of what forms emotional intelligence, as described by Goleman, as well as how learning to master these principles will forever transform your life.

  Rewire Your Mindset And Get Fast Results With Hypnosis! 
   
  The advantages of hypnosis therapy are widespread. A lot of individuals report positive changes with hypnosis and it's recognized as a valid type of holistic alternative medicine.  
   
  Hypnosis is a popular technique utilized for weight loss, overcoming addiction, healing, achieving goals, relaxation and stress relief. It's utilized to get rid of undesired behaviors and beliefs and to manifest new desires and achieve goals in life. 
    
  If you wish to influence your subconscious mind to accept new programming for positive alterations hypnosis is an effective technique for doing that. 
   
  Among the chief advantages of hypnosis is that when you in a hypnotic state brain wave frequencies decelerate. You center or focus your awareness and you're actually much more aware than usual. A state of centered awareness almost feels as though you're more of an observer of thought and images rather than a part of them. This allows you to bypass the "gatekeepers" at the entrance to the subconscious and superconscious so you are able to access these levels of consciousness directly, and the brain is much more receptive to suggestion. 
   
  The unconscious, or subconscious may then be reprogrammed so it lets go of old patterns, beliefs and feelings that no longer serve you. They may be replaced with suggestions that are favorable and affirming. The superconscious mind may open you into fresh insights and originative ideas.  
   
  A common misperception is that you only have to be hypnotized once to make lasting changes. Occasionally this is the case, but for lasting positive changes, hypnosis suggestions need to be repeated several times till your mind accepts the new programming. 
   
  You'll need to enter hypnosis and listen to your audio multiple times. Don't expect that one session will set up and run your new programs. 
   
  Put this audio on each night before you go to bed and listen to it right before you fall asleep. If you have time also listen to it first thing upon waking. Do this for at least 21 days consistently so that positive change can take affect in your life.
