Beschreibung

Mythical Beings explores the fascinating intersection of history and science, examining how real-world observations and cultural needs may have inspired the creation of mythological creatures. The book posits that many of these beings aren't pure fantasy but rather stem from misidentified fossils, misunderstood animal anatomy, and the human need to personify abstract concepts. For example, the Cyclops myth may originate from misinterpreted elephant skulls, while other creatures embody cultural anxieties and early scientific limitations.

 
The book delves into ancient texts, artwork, and archaeological findings from civilizations like Greece, Rome, and Egypt, alongside insights from paleontology and anthropology. It investigates how a lack of accurate information often fueled speculative interpretations of the natural world, leading to the creation of creatures like the Griffin and Minotaur. By examining these potential real-world origins, the book offers a deeper understanding of the societies that created these myths, revealing their beliefs, fears, and understanding of the world.

 
The book progresses by first establishing a theoretical framework based on misidentification and symbolic representation. Then, it examines specific case studies, such as the Cyclops, exploring potential origins in fossil discoveries and cultural narratives. Finally, it broadens the scope to analyze how widespread environmental phenomena and cultural archetypes contributed to similar mythical creatures across different cultures, before reflecting on the lasting influence of these creatures on contemporary culture.

    Psychological trauma refers to the emotional, mental, and psychological injury that results from an overwhelming or distressing event. Unlike physical trauma, which can often be seen and treated directly, psychological trauma is more subtle, affecting the mind and emotions in profound ways. It can arise from various experiences, such as accidents, violence, abuse, loss, or even long-term stressors. The effects of trauma are far-reaching and can impact an individual’s life for many years, manifesting in different forms depending on the person’s resilience, support system, and coping mechanisms. 
    At its core, trauma can alter an individual's perception of the world, themselves, and their relationships. It often creates a sense of helplessness, loss of control, and an inability to feel safe or secure. The distress from trauma can be so severe that it leads to lasting mental health issues such as anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and other emotional disorders. Understanding the nature of psychological trauma involves recognizing how these experiences affect the brain and the body. Trauma is not merely an emotional reaction; it is a complex response involving neurological, biological, and psychological processes. The brain’s response to trauma can involve changes in brain structures and functions, particularly in areas like the amygdala (responsible for processing emotions) and the hippocampus (which processes memories). These changes can result in heightened fear responses, emotional instability, and difficulty processing memories related to the traumatic event. 
    Furthermore, trauma is often misunderstood or underestimated due to the invisible nature of its impact. While a broken bone is easily visible and can be treated, the effects of trauma are not always immediately apparent.

    In our culture, we do not know how to deal with grief, and we see it as something to fix, not something that needs tending. Grieving people feel misunderstood and hopeless, while those who want to help them feel lost and clueless. Megan Devine, a psychotherapist, had been trying to help people deal with grief for a decade before suddenly losing her partner and realizing that her understanding of grief was broken. In It’s OK That You’re Not OK (2017), she re-examines the often chaotic process of grief, based on extensive research and her own experience. Building on her new understanding, Devine offers reassurance and guidance for anyone who is grieving and those who want to help them.

    Three-time New York Times bestselling author Dan Ariely teams up with legendary The New Yorker cartoonist William Haefeli to present an expanded, illustrated collection of his immensely popularWall Street Journal advice column, “Ask Ariely”. 
    Behavioral economist Dan Ariely revolutionized the way we think about ourselves, our minds, and our actions in his books Predictably Irrational, The Upside of Irrationality, and The Honest Truth about Dishonesty. Ariely applies this scientific analysis of the human condition in his “Ask Ariely” Q & A column in the Wall Street Journal, in which he responds to readers who write in with personal conundrums ranging from the serious to the curious:   What can you do to stay calm when you’re playing the volatile stock market?   What’s the best way to get someone to stop smoking?   How can you maximize the return on your investment at an all-you-can-eat buffet?   Is it possible to put a price on the human soul?   Can you ever rationally justify spending thousands of dollars on a Rolex? 
    In Ask Ariely, a broad variety of economic, ethical, and emotional dilemmas are explored and addressed through text and images. Using their trademark insight and wit, Ariely and Haefeli help us reflect on how we can reason our way through external and internal challenges.  Readers will laugh, learn, and most importantly gain a new perspective on how to deal with the inevitable problems that plague our daily life.
