The Principles of Psychology (Vol 1&2) - Enriched edition

William James

Maison d'édition: DigiCat

Synopsis

In "The Principles of Psychology" (Vol. 1 & 2), William James embarks on an ambitious exploration of the human mind, intertwining the emerging fields of psychology and philosophy. Written with a distinctive clarity and a conversational style that invites readers to ponder deep questions, James delves into topics such as consciousness, emotion, and habit, while advocating for a pragmatic approach to psychological inquiry. This seminal work serves as a cornerstone in the establishment of psychology as a rigorous, scientific discipline, situating itself within the rich intellectual currents of late 19th-century American thought, particularly influenced by pragmatism and functionalism. William James, often regarded as the father of American psychology, drew upon his extensive background in philosophy and physiology to pen this comprehensive treatise. His personal interest in the workings of the mind, coupled with his conviction that psychology should address practical life issues, propelled him to synthesize various schools of thought, aligning them with lived experiences. Influenced by his contemporaries and his own introspections, James's views on the plasticity of the mind and the importance of individual experience were groundbreaking. This work is essential for any reader interested in the foundations of psychology, offering profound insights that remain relevant today. Its engaging prose and insightful analyses make it a must-read for scholars, students, and anyone intrigued by the complexity of human thought and behavior.

Remotivation - The Remote...

Sarah Aviram

Remotivation is a vital guide to help you thrive at work and beyond - no matter where you're located! 
The book is designed to help you create your own version of success by showing you how to activate 6 key motivations to work: money, identity, routines, growth, impact, and joy. 
Sarah Aviram worked remotely as a Human Resources leader from 12 different countries in 12 months while researching the future of work - from co-working spaces in Mexico City and Medellin, to cafes in Kuala Lumpur and Kyoto. 
Many remote workers she met and interviewed, thought that having the freedom and flexibility to work from anywhere would make them feel happier and more motivated at work. But then they found themselves working from the beach in Bali still feeling stuck and unfulfilled. 
Aviram realized that being able to work from anywhere was only a band aid solution for a much bigger challenge: not being motivated by the work itself. 
Through fun inspirational stories, research, and her HR expertise, Aviram shows you how to tackle challenges that might be getting in the way of your fulfillment like the pressure of others’ expectations, the guilt you have about what you “should” be doing, and inertia of routines that don’t support your goals. You’ll also be empowered with the tools you need to create more opportunities for impact, tactics to develop new skills, and ways to do more work you enjoy – whether from the office, your home, or the beach!

Egal Malotok

This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
You hear “tariff,” and right away you think left-hand politics. 
Men in suits arguing in back rooms about trade and taxes. 
But the real game doesn’t happen there. 
It happens in bonded warehouses, in shipyards, buried deep within the small print. 
That’s where the loopholes live—In the spaces between the lines of the tax code. 
A single classification code can cost—or save—a hundred thousand dollars. 
Change it, and the shipment walks free. Leave it, and you’ve got lacerations where your green money bleeds out. 
Tariff Loopholes exposes the quiet machinery behind customs law—the slow, grinding gears that reward the few who actually understand how it’s built. 
Once you learn the system, it’s no longer magic. It’s no mystery. It’s clear as crystal.

Geratology - Understanding Old...

Mike Crawford

Geratology is the scientific study of aging, encompassing its biological, psychological, and social dimensions. While often confused with geriatrics, which focuses on medical care for older adults, geratology takes a broader approach, examining aging as a lifelong process that affects individuals and societies in complex ways. Understanding geratology is crucial as global life expectancy rises and aging populations reshape economic, healthcare, and social structures. 
The origins of geratology trace back to early philosophical and medical inquiries into longevity. Ancient Greek and Roman scholars explored aging as a natural phenomenon, while modern scientific advancements have provided deeper insights into the mechanisms of aging. Over the past century, geratology has evolved into an interdisciplinary field, drawing from biology, psychology, sociology, and public health to analyze how people age and how societies can better support aging populations. 
At its core, geratology investigates the biological changes that occur with age. These include cellular senescence, genetic factors, and the gradual decline of organ function. Research into longevity has uncovered key processes such as telomere shortening, oxidative stress, and the role of inflammation in age-related diseases. While aging is an inevitable process, scientific advancements continue to explore ways to slow its progression and improve quality of life in later years.
