Sinopse

Marvin Minsky -- one of the fathers of computer science and cofounder of the Artificial Intelligence Laboratory at MIT -- gives a revolutionary answer to the age-old question: "How does the mind work?"Minsky brilliantly portrays the mind as a "society" of tiny components that are themselves mindless. Mirroring his theory, Minsky boldly casts The Society of Mind as an intellectual puzzle whose pieces are assembled along the way. Each chapter -- on a self-contained page -- corresponds to a piece in the puzzle. As the pages turn, a unified theory of the mind emerges, like a mosaic. Ingenious, amusing, and easy to read, The Society of Mind is an adventure in imagination.

    A funny, practical and crucial guide for women facing the life-changing prospect of returning to work after having children. 
    When Dolly had her children, the idea of returning to the fast-paced, all-consuming job she had previously loved felt daunting and somehow unprecedented, despite it being the experience of so many millions of women. She struggled to find material to galvanise and reassure her, and to make her feel that anything was possible. 
    In this book, Dolly aims to change all of that. Interweaving practical advice and her own personal experiences with anecdotes, life-hacks and guilt-avoidance strategies from a diverse range of women – from fashion designers to taxi drivers, journalists to actors, lawyers to doctors, bankers, entrepreneurs and restaurateurs – Leaving the Ladder Down is a gift for the next generation of women taking on the trials, challenges and general amusement involved in combining career and motherhood. 
    Equally empowering and accessible, and featuring serious advice from employers, employment lawyers and health specialists to boost knowledge and confidence, this book acts as a ‘ladder down’ to the next generation of working women, from a generation who have experimented their way to making it work. 
    In Leaving the Ladder Down, Dolly Jones, a successful woman herself, shares her growth and development journey, offering top advice on parenting and relationships. This memoir, a blend of autobiography and self-help, is a must-read for those seeking counselling on balancing family and career.

    This is an audiobook of Bodhi Leaves No. 55 by Francis Story (Anāgārika Sugatānanda), The Scientific Approach to Buddhism and The Appeal of Buddhism, two essays narrated by Christa Michel. The print edition can be found in the Pariyatti Edition of Collected Bodhi Leaves Vol. 2. The eBook of Bodhi Leaves No. 55 can be downloaded from the BPS website. 
    Excerpt from The Scientific Approach to Buddhism: 
    At present it may look as though man has only searched out the secrets of the universe in order to destroy himself with the power he has acquired; and of that there is certainly a danger. But I believe that a change in outlook is beginning to dawn, and that science itself, having destroyed the basis of much wrong thinking, is drawing us ever nearer to the realisation of the truth proclaimed by the Enlightened One. This is what I mean by “the scientific approach to Buddhism;” without being aware of it, the modern scientist and philosopher are being propelled irresistibly in the direction of Buddhism. Their uncertainties and doubts are spiritual “growing pains;” but a time will come quickly when they will realise that, although they have had to reject everything on which their ordinary religious and moral beliefs are founded, there is a higher religion—one based upon systematic investigation and the sincere search for truth—which will restore their lost faith in the universal principles of justice, truth and compassion. Those who now believe that man has come to the end of his tether will then see the opening up of vistas into the future that they only dimly suspect, and will recognise, beyond it all, the final goal of complete emancipation from the fetters of ignorance and delusion.

    The central thread of this thought-provoking book revolves around the challenge of maintaining both our collective and individual focus amid the constant and disorienting changes we are experiencing. Are we still capable of understanding the world we’ve created? 
    In 21 Lessons for the 21st Century, Yuval Noah Harari analyzes the current and future challenges facing humanity. Unlike Sapiens, which focuses on the history of humankind, and Homo Deus, which speculates about the distant future, this book addresses the immediate present. Harari explores how technology, artificial intelligence, global politics, and human identity are evolving in the 21st century. 
    He argues that traditional narratives that once guided humanity—such as liberalism, religion, and nationalism—are being undermined by technological acceleration and globalization. 
    Harari offers a call for reflection in an uncertain world. Rather than seeking answers in traditional ideologies, humanity must cultivate a flexible mindset, promote global cooperation, and remain open to change.
