Sinopse

The Essential Works of Nikola Tesla is a comprehensive anthology that delves into the profound intellect and visionary contributions of one of history's most innovative inventors. This collection showcases Tesla's groundbreaking concepts in electromagnetism and wireless communication, revealing both his technical genius and poetic reflections on human progress. The literary style oscillates between intricate scientific exposition and lyrical prose, inviting readers to grasp the complexity of his ideas while appreciating the visionary spirit that underpins them. In the context of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Tesla's writings not only illuminate the scientific revolution of his time but also underscore the philosophical implications of technology on society. Nikola Tesla, a Serbian-American inventor and electrical engineer, became an iconic figure in modern science. His early experiences in Europe, combined with his insatiable curiosity and relentless pursuit of knowledge, led him to challenge conventional wisdom and explore concepts like alternating current, X-rays, and radio waves. Tesla's struggles for recognition against contemporaneous inventors like Thomas Edison reveal his idealistic nature and unwavering belief in the potential for technology to elevate humanity. This essential compilation is a must-read for anyone eager to understand the origins of modern electricity and the visionary thoughts of an enigmatic genius. Whether you are a student of science, a history enthusiast, or simply intrigued by innovative ideas, Tesla's timeless insights will inspire you, fueling your imagination for the future.

    'A TRULY IMPORTANT BOOK’ JOHN HUMPHRYS 
    'FASCINATING… SHOCKING' SPECTATOR 
    What is paranoia? What makes us mistrustful? How can this be overcome? 
    Daniel Freeman, Professor of Psychology at Oxford, has spent thirty years at the vanguard of paranoia research and treatment. This remarkable and moving book tells the story of that journey. 
    For decades, conventional wisdom held that paranoia was only experienced by people with severe mental health problems and little could be done to rectify its disastrous effects. Paranoia gives us a front row seat as Freeman turns the traditional view on its head. 
    He develops life-changing treatments for clinical paranoia – often using state-of-the-art technology like virtual reality. He reveals that suspicion is rife in society, with paranoia widespread, conspiracy theories rampant and emotion all too often trumping evidence. He discovers the causes of mistrust, including the role of genes, trauma, lack of sleep, worry, low self-confidence, cannabis use and hearing voices, and delves into the murky world of Covid-19 conspiracy theories. Lighting up the narrative throughout are the rarely heard voices of people whose lives have been almost wrecked by paranoia – and then in many cases transformed by Freeman’s groundbreaking treatments. 
    This is also a practical book. Freeman shows how we can measure our own levels of mistrust. He explains how we can remedy things if those levels are higher than we’d like, because although mistrust can seem engrained, things can change for the better. Ultimately, it can be overcome. Compelling and compassionate, this is a gripping tale from the front line of suspicion – an impassioned plea for the urgent rebuilding of trust between us all. 
    Daniel Freeman's Paranoia is a compelling mix of autobiography, neuroscience, and social science. It offers a deep understanding of paranoia, its medical implications, and the anxieties and phobias it can cause, providing self-help strategies for patients. 
    For fans of Viktor E. Frankl (Embracing Hope), Irvin D. Yalom (Hour of the Heart), Benji Waterhouse (You Don't Have to Be Mad to Work Here), Zindel V. Segal (The Self In Emotional Distress), and James Clear (Atomic Habits).
