A thought-provoking exploration of how people really change their minds, and how persuasion is possible.In Stop Being Reasonable, Eleanor Gordon-Smith weaves a narrative that illustrates the limits of human reason.Here, she tells the stories of people who have radically altered their beliefs—from the woman who had to reckon with her husband's terrible secret to the man who finally left the cult he had been raised in since birth. Gordon-Smith shows how we can change the course of our own lives, and asks: what made someone change course? How should their reversals affect how we think about our own beliefs? And in an increasingly divided world, what do they teach us about how we might change the minds of others?Inspiring, perceptive, and moving, Stop Being Reasonable explores why resistance to evidence is often rooted in self-preservation and fear, why we feel shame in admitting we are wrong, and why who we believe is often more important than what we believe. This fascinating book will completely change the way you look at the power of persuasion.Voir livre

There are four titles in this book, consisting of the topics below. Book 1: In this short and simple guide, you will learn more about the qualities of a gifted person. These attributes typically already show in a man or woman’s childhood, and the developmental stages in which they grow. Book 2: What causes a gifted child to be emotionally driven and highly empathetic? How come an intelligent person is typically self-motivated and self-disciplined to the extreme? The explanation lies in the fact that gifted people make a lot of connections in their brains. These connotations from interrelated facts and observations cause them to become both dramatic and extremely excited about occurrences in life, depending on what it is. Dabrowski, a scientist and psychologist, called this quality “overexcitability.” Book 3: In this comprehensive guide, you will learn more about common qualities of gifted children, and more specifically, the symptoms of such a distinct brain. Through the tips you will be given, you will be able to detect those attributes even in the earlier years, so that you can be prepared for the future. People have been using the term “gifted” in different ways, and it’s important to know what the differences are of those terms. You will learn more about those terms and their meanings. Book 4: Sometimes, parents think high grades is a good thing, and it can be. But did you know that this is not always the case? Did you know that some gifted children actually underachieve for various reasons? And then comes the big question: Should you tell a child that he or she is gifted? What are the pros and cons of doing so? Don’t remain in the dark. The achievements of gifted students are the consequences of their psyche, but it’s a vulnerable process to stimulate that intelligence in the right way. To do so, this book can help you along the way.Voir livre
