Behavioral Wisdom - A Modern Exploration of Psychology and Neuroscience

Pasquale De Marco

Summary

In this groundbreaking exploration of the human mind, we embark on a journey to unravel the intricate tapestry of consciousness, perception, and behavior. Delving into the depths of psychology and neuroscience, we uncover the mysteries of the brain, the symphony of neurons that orchestrates our thoughts, feelings, and actions.

Moving beyond the physical realm, we venture into the enigmatic realm of consciousness, seeking to understand the essence of self-awareness and the nature of subjective experience. We ponder the enigma of dreams, explore altered states of consciousness induced by meditation and psychedelics, and contemplate the frontiers of artificial intelligence, where scientists strive to create machines capable of replicating the human mind.

Our expedition also takes us through the intricate labyrinth of human relationships, examining the profound impact of culture and social dynamics on our thoughts and behaviors. We explore the power of persuasion, the art of communication, and the complexities of love and attachment, revealing the hidden forces that shape our interactions with others.

Furthermore, we delve into the realm of mental health and well-being, examining the spectrum of psychological disorders and the challenges they pose to individuals and society. We investigate the remarkable resilience of the human spirit, unveiling strategies for coping with stress, adversity, and trauma.

Finally, we conclude our exploration with a reflection on the human experience itself, seeking to understand what it means to be truly human. We contemplate the pursuit of meaning and purpose, the power of self-discovery, and the enduring legacy we leave behind.

Written in a clear and engaging style, this book is an essential guide to the human mind, providing a comprehensive overview of the latest research in psychology, neuroscience, and related fields. Join us on this voyage of discovery as we unravel the mysteries of the human psyche, gaining a deeper understanding of ourselves and our place in the world.

Welcome to Dragon Talk -...

Greg Tito, Shelly Mazzanoble

If it seems like everyone you know is playing Dungeons & Dragons, it's because they are! After nearly five decades, the iconic roleplaying game is more popular than ever. Famous Hollywood actors and directors, therapists, educators, politicians, kids, parents, and grandparents all count themselves as fans. In Welcome to Dragon Talk, hosts of the official D&D podcast Shelly Mazzanoble and Greg Tito and their surprising guests show how this beloved pastime has amassed a diverse, tight-knit following of players who defy stereotypes. 
 
 
  
Shelly and Greg recount some of their most inspiring interviews and illuminate how their guests use the core tenets of the game in everyday life. An A-list actor defends D&D by baring his soul (and his muscles) on social media. A teacher in a disadvantaged district in Houston creates a D&D club that motivates students to want to read and think analytically. A writer and live-streamer demonstrates how D&D–inspired communication breaks barriers and empowers people of color. Listeners will see why Dungeons & Dragons has remained such a pop culture phenomenon and how it has given this disparate and growing community the inspiration to flourish and spread some in-game magic into the real world.

Hamilcar Barca: The Life and...

Editors Charles River

Carthage was one of the great ancient civilizations, and at its peak, the wealthy Carthaginian empire dominated the Mediterranean against the likes of Greece and Rome, with commercial enterprises and influence stretching from Spain to Turkey. In fact, at several points in history it had a very real chance of replacing the fledgling Roman empire or the failing Greek poleis (city-states) altogether as master of the Mediterranean. Although Carthage by far preferred to exert economic pressure and influence before resorting to direct military power (and even went so far as to rely primarily on mercenary armies paid with its vast wealth for much of its history, it nonetheless produced a number of outstanding generals, from the likes of Hanno Magnus to, of course, the great bogeyman of Roman nightmares himself: Hannibal.  
	Certain foreign policy decisions led to continuing enmity between Carthage and the burgeoning power of Rome, and what followed was a series of wars which turned from a battle for Mediterranean hegemony into an all-out struggle for survival. Although the Romans gained the upper hand in the wake of the First Punic War, the Carthaginians brought the Romans to their knees for over a decade during the Second Punic War. Of course, they were led in Italy by the legendary Hannibal Barca, who maintained his army near Rome for nearly 15 years, but never attempted to march on Rome.  
	One overlooked figure in the Punic Wars is Hamilcar Barca, who is now best remembered for being Hannibal’s father. However, before Hannibal marched out of Spain, it was Hamilcar who had positioned forces there, and he was already a significant historical figure in his own right. Indeed, had it not been for his death, his legacy likely would have been more important than that of his illustrious son, who is now remembered as one of history’s greatest generals.
