Sinopsis

The Molecule of More by Daniel Z. Lieberman,MD & Michael E. Long


In the introductory section, we gain insights into how our brain operates, driven by a complex interplay of various chemicals. These chemicals can be categorized into two groups: "down chemicals," which dictate our ability to either savor the current moment or resist it, and "up chemicals," which fuel our innate desire to seek new experiences. They offer rewards when we fulfill these desires and penalties when we fall short.
One of the key "up chemicals" is dopamine, a substance residing in our brain. Dopamine not only provides pleasurable sensations but also plays a pivotal role in the process of learning. It serves as the driving force behind our motivation to explore and seek out novel opportunities, effectively earning its title as the "molecule of more."
Delving into the realm of science, particularly concerning the brain, reveals a complex and sometimes contradictory landscape. Despite years of experimentation and research, the intricacies of how the brain functions continue to elude complete understanding.

       Humanity has been given the unique capacity for developing higher consciousness. In “Where in the World is God”, I observe the life of humanity in the culture of today’s world, and assess the most energetic movements of the Universe being lived out through humanity. These movements reflect the current consciousness of humanity. 
        The book is compiled of three parts. Part 1 traces the development of religion, its encounter with science, and the later merging of both with psychology at the point of consciousness. Part 2 examines the most energetic movements of the Universe being lived out through humanity today. Part 3 draws together the findings explored in Part 2, teasing out the main “living ideas” that appear throughout the chapters. This section is more philosophical, reflecting on deeper movements within the ideas, choices, actions and processes of humanity as a whole.

    Forged during the tumultuous aftermath of Partition in 1947, the Inter-Services Intelligence Directorate (ISI) has grown to become the preeminent intelligence service in Pakistan. Its capabilities are comprehensive, its remit covers both foreign and domestic intelligence, and it is one of the most feared and respected agencies of the Global South. 
     
     
     
    Pakistan's ISI provides an up-to-date and detailed introduction to the ISI and its historical evolution. The narrative is rooted in a deep and wide-ranging contextualization of the state of Pakistan and its security environment. The story is one of an agency that grew from humble beginnings into an extremely capable and robust force at the heart of power in the state. The ISI utilizes broad human intelligence networks and employs covert action and support for militants, particularly in its rivalry with India. As a crucial intelligence partner for the West during the Cold War and into the contemporary era, the ISI has been both an essential ally and problematic partner. The shadow of this agency continues to loom over Pakistan's democratic institutions. 
     
     
     
    This book will appeal to students, scholars, and general listeners interested in intelligence and the politics and history of South Asia.

    Laws is Plato's last and longest dialogue. It is generally agreed that Plato wrote this dialogue as an older man, having failed in his effort in Syracuse on the island of Sicily to guide a tyrant's rule, instead having been thrown in prison 
     
    The Classical Greek philosopher Plato was instrumental in the development of Western philosophy and science. Plato was born to an aristocratic family and was well-educated. He founded the Academy, one of the first institutions of higher learning, around 385 BC. Plato was highly influenced by his teacher, Socrates. Socrates was condemned to death after being accused of corrupting his young followers. After Socrates' death, Plato recorded several dialogues detailing what he remembered from Socrates' teachings and interactions with others. Almost everything known about Socrates comes from Plato's dialogues. Plato's writings have been revised and interpreted by a variety of publishers.
