Sinossi

Tired of "Feel-Good" Fluff and "Intuitive" Insights? Finally, Psychology for Those Who Demand Logic.
 
Let's be honest. Most psychology books are… well, squishy. They’re awash in touchy-feely anecdotes, vague pronouncements about “emotional intelligence,” and enough self-help jargon to make your circuits overheat. If you’re a creature of logic, a devotee of data, a nerd who prefers algorithms to affirmations, you’ve likely found yourself utterly bewildered by the prevailing discourse on the human mind.
 
But what if there was another way? What if you could approach the messy, unpredictable realm of human behavior with the same analytical rigor you apply to coding, physics, or astrophysics? What if you could finally debug the human operating system using the tools of science, not sentiment?
 
Introducing "Basic Psychology for Nerds: Deciphering the Human Algorithm (For Nerds Who Prefer Logic to Feelings)" – the guide book you’ve been waiting for, whether you knew it or not.
 
Forget the touchy-feely pronouncements and pop-psychology pabulum. This isn't your aunt Mildred's self-help manual. This is Psychological Science, dissected, analyzed, and presented in a language you, a discerning intellect, will actually understand and appreciate.
 
Inside, you’ll discover:
 
A brutally honest, no-nonsense approach to the human psyche: We ditch the sentimentalities and dive straight into the observable behaviors, the measurable outcomes, the scientific principles that actually govern why we do what we do. Think of it as psychological engineering, not psychological hand-waving.
 
Clear, concise explanations of complex concepts: From classical conditioning to cognitive biases, from anxiety disorders to the mysteries of schizophrenia – it's all here, explained with the precision and clarity you expect from a well-documented codebase. No mystical jargon, no hand-waving – just solid, scientifically grounded explanations.
 
Practical, expert tips you can actually use: Forget vague advice about “finding your inner peace.” We provide actionable, behaviorally-focused tips at the end of each chapter – think of them as debugging tools for your own life and interactions. These aren't recycled platitudes; they are strategies rooted in psychological science, designed for practical application.
 
A journey through the landscape of the mind, designed for the intellectually curious: From the fundamental principles of learning to the complexities of social behavior and mental disorders, this book takes you on a comprehensive – and yes, slightly exhaustive – exploration of the human psychological landscape. Prepare to have your assumptions challenged and your understanding deepened.
 
And yes, a healthy dose of skepticism: Because let’s face it, the human condition is inherently… messy. We don’t promise easy answers or utopian solutions. But we do promise a scientifically rigorous, intellectually stimulating, and frankly, more honest look at what makes us tick – and often, malfunction.
 
Stop relying on intuition and start understanding the science. Whether you’re a student of psychology, a seasoned programmer, a curious scientist, or simply a nerd who demands evidence-based explanations, this book is your essential guide.
 
Basic Psychology for Nerds" isn’t just a book; it’s a user’s manual for the mind, finally written in a language that makes sense to those of us who prefer logic to… well, everything else.
 
Order your copy today. Because understanding human behavior shouldn't feel like navigating a labyrinth of feelings. It should feel like… well, finally understanding the code.

    Ride Lonesome, the fifth film in the "Ranown cycle," is both the best and most representative of the whole series, which has been called "the most remarkable convergence of artistic achievement in the history of low-budget moviemaking." Director Bud Boetticher captures the alienation and loneliness of an America faced with the Cold War and the daily threat of nuclear annihilation. Shot in seventeen days for under a half-million dollars, Ride Lonesome is a masterpiece of cinematic minimalism. 
     
     
     
    Veteran screenwriter Kirk Ellis brilliantly unpacks the themes, narrative, visual language, and editing in this seminal film. In Ride Lonesome Ellis not only shows how this one film embodies a turning point for the Western, but he also explores the unique vision and contributions of director Boetticher and his writing partner Burt Kennedy.

    Hope for the future lies with a new generation of regenerative farmers. 
     
     
     
    Within a decade, nearly half of all American farmland will change hands as an older generation of farmers steps aside. In their place, a groundswell of new growers will face numerous challenges, including soil degradation, insufficient income, and investors devouring farmland at a staggering pace. These new farmers are embracing regenerative agriculture—the holistic approach to growing food that restores the soil and biodiversity—in the movement to reclaim our health and the planet's. But can their efforts help reverse an epidemic of diet-related disease, food inequality, and even climate change? 
     
     
     
    To answer that question and more, award-winning journalist Jennifer Grayson embedded herself in a groundbreaking farmer training program, then embarked on this investigative journey. The diverse array of farmers, graziers, and food activists whom she profiles here are working toward better, more sustainable foodways for all. From a one-acre market garden in Oregon to activists reviving food sovereignty in South Carolina, A Call to Farms tells the captivating story of these new agrarians finding hope and purpose in reconnecting to the land and striving to improve the future of American food.

    What unites Google and Facebook, Apple and Microsoft, Siemens and GE, Uber and Airbnb? Across a wide range of sectors, these firms are transforming themselves into platforms: businesses that provide the hardware and software foundation for others to operate on. This transformation signals a major shift in how capitalist firms operate and how they interact with the rest of the economy: the emergence of platform capitalism. 
     
     
     
    This book critically examines these new business forms, tracing their genesis from the long downturn of the 1970s to the boom and bust of the 1990s and the aftershocks of the 2008 crisis. It shows how the fundamental foundations of the economy are rapidly being carved up among a small number of monopolistic platforms, and how the platform introduces new tendencies within capitalism that pose significant challenges to any vision of a post-capitalist future. This book will be essential for anyone who wants to understand how the most powerful tech companies of our time are transforming the global economy.

    Artha-shastra is about generating food, i.e. wealth, by creating goods and services; Kama-shastra is about indulging our hungers with this food. Dharma-shastra insists we consider the hunger of others, while Moksha-shastra is about outgrowing our hungers, in order to be detached and generous. Together, these four Hindu shastras provide a framework within which human action, its purposes and consequences, can be defined; together, they validate human existence and give it meaning. 
    In Dharma Artha Kama Moksha, Devdutt Pattanaik uses his unique understanding of mythology to provide an accessible and lucid guide to the Hindu way of thinking, with short essays that are crisp expositions of important concepts.  
    If you're looking for a book that delves into Hindu mythology and provides insights into happiness, Dharma Artha Kama Moksha by Devdutt Pattanaik is a great choice.
