Sinopse

Shocking Coincidences explores the intriguing realm of events that seem to defy explanation, blending psychology and science to understand unexpected connections. The book examines how our brains perceive patterns, often leading us to find meaning in random events, and delves into the statistical anomalies that challenge our understanding of probability.

Have you ever thought of a friend right before they called? Or dreamed of an event that later came to pass? These experiences, while sometimes attributed to fate, are analyzed through the lenses of cognitive psychology and statistical analysis. The book progresses methodically, first establishing a foundation in probability and cognitive biases before categorizing and analyzing various types of coincidences, like interpersonal synchronicities and predictive coincidences.

While many coincidences can be attributed to statistical probability or perception biases, the book argues that some genuinely improbable events remain, warranting further scientific inquiry. This exploration avoids supernatural explanations, instead advocating for a rigorous, evidence-based approach.

Ultimately, Shocking Coincidences aims to equip readers with critical thinking skills to evaluate claims of coincidences, distinguishing between statistically probable events and truly improbable ones. By examining case studies, statistical analyses, and psychological research, the book offers a balanced perspective on the ongoing debate about chance versus interconnectedness, inviting readers to consider the subtle ways events might be linked.

The Northmen In Britain

Eleanor Hull

Two great streams of Northern immigration met on the shores of Britain during the ninth, tenth, and eleventh centuries. The Norsemen from the deep fiords of Western Norway, fishing and raiding along the coasts, pushed out their adventurous boats into the Atlantic, and in the dawn of Northern history we find them already settled in the Orkney and Shetland Isles, whence they raided and settled southward to Caithness, Fife, and Northumbria on the east, and to the Hebrides, Galloway, and Man on the western coast. Fresh impetus was given to this outward movement by the changes of policy introduced by Harald Fairhair, first king of Norway (872–933). Through him a nobler type of emigrant succeeded the casual wanderer, and great lords and kings’ sons came over to consolidate the settlements begun by humbler agencies. Iceland was at the same time peopled by a similar stock. The Dane, contemporaneously with the Norseman, came by a different route. Though he seems to have been the first to invade Northumbria (if Ragnar and his sons were really Danes), his movement was chiefly round the southern shores of England, passing over by way of the Danish and Netherland coast up the English Channel, and round to the west. Both streams met in Ireland, where a sharp and lengthened contest was fought out between the two nations, and where both took deep root, building cities and absorbing much of the commerce of the country.The Viking was at first simply a bold adventurer, but a mixture of trading and raiding became a settled practice with large numbers of Norsemen, who, when work at home was slack and the harvest was sown or reaped, filled up the time by pirate inroads on their own or neighboring lands. Hardy sailors and fearless fighters they were; and life would have seemed too tame had it meant a continuous course of peaceful farming or fishing. New possessions and new conquests were the salt of life.

In What Happened to Make You Anxious?, anxiety expert Jaime Castillo offers a whole new approach; one that focuses less on avoiding or extinguishing anxiety, and more toward understanding and working with it to create a fulfilling, meaningful life. You'll learn how your anxiety is connected to what Castillo refers to as "little 't' traumas"—seemingly small, unhealed traumas from your past that drive your fear and worry, so you can get to the root of your anxiety and start healing. 
 
 
 
Your anxiety works overtime communicating perceived threats; this book will show you how to listen to anxiety, discern which threats are real, which don't fit the actual facts of the situation, and which are triggered by past events. 
 
 
 
You've tried managing it on your own. You may have even received treatment. If you're at your wit's end when it comes to your anxiety, this book will show you a new path toward lasting relief.
