Sinopsis

Focus Hacks: Cognitive Science Secrets for Peak Productivity flips traditional productivity advice on its head by arguing that managing attention—not time—is the key to unlocking true efficiency. Grounded in neuroscience and cognitive psychology, the book tackles modern distractions head-on, revealing how our average focus span has plummeted to just 47 seconds per task. Its central premise challenges "grind culture," showing how aligning habits with the brain’s natural rhythms—like leveraging neuroplasticity for habit change or optimizing cognitive load—yields better results than sheer hustle.

What sets Focus Hacks apart is its "brain-first" approach. Instead of generic tips, it offers diagnostic tools to identify personal focus styles, whether "spotlight" (intense concentration) or "lantern" (broad awareness). The book blends cutting-edge research—like EEG data showing brainwave shifts during focus techniques—with practical strategies. For instance, it reimagines the Pomodoro method using "micro-restoration" breaks backed by sleep science, and explains how environmental tweaks (like reducing visual clutter) can shield attention. Case studies add real-world punch, like a developer who tripled coding output using gradual "attention scaffolding."

Structured for action, the book progresses from cognitive foundations to habit-building and environmental design. Early chapters decode why multitasking fails (hint: attentional blink), while later sections provide tailored fixes for remote workers, students, and creatives. By translating complex concepts like dopamine cycles into relatable metaphors—and pairing them with QR-linked exercises—Focus Hacks makes neuroscience accessible. It’s a manual for reclaiming focus not through willpower, but through science-backed systems that turn scattered minds into sustained, purposeful attention.

Twilight of the Idols On Truth...

Friedrich Nietzsche

Though Twilight of the Idols (written in a week in 1888 and subtitled How to Philosophise with a Hammer) came near the end of Nietzsche’s creative life, he actually recommended it as a starting point for the study of his work. This was because from the beginning he viewed it as an introduction to his wide-ranging views.

After an opening chapter of aphorisms - ‘Maxims and Arrows’ – he takes a challenging look at ‘The Problem of Socrates’, continues to buck the trend with ‘Morality as Anti-Nature’, and ‘The Four Great Errors’ (starting with ‘The Error of Confusing Cause and Effect’). He makes a scathing attack on conventional morality in ‘The Improvers of Mankind’ and finishes with a critical look at his own nation in ‘What Germans Lack’.

He roams freely over icons of European culture, dispensing judgment without favour on writers, philosophers, composers and the like in a lively and characteristically Nietzschean torrent: Caryle, Emerson, Rousseau, George Eliot, Dante, Sainte Beuve, The Imitation of Christ, psychology, all fall under his pen; while he gives time to those he continues to admire, such as Schopenhauer, ‘the last German worthy of consideration’, and Dostoyevsky, ‘the only psychologist from whom I had something to learn’. He also looks back to where he began in ‘What I Owe to the Ancients’.

Vigorous and intensely human, Twilight of the Idols (a nod to Wagner’s Götterdämmerung) is certainly instructive, argumentative and good fun! The shorter essay ‘On Truth and Lies in a Nonmoral Sense’ comes from an earlier stage in Nietzsche’s career (1873), though it was not published until two decades later. It has significantly influenced postmodernists of the 20th century. Twilight of the Idols is translated by Thomas Cannon. ‘On Truth and Lies in a Nonmoral Sense’ is translated by W. A. Haussman.

Korea - A New History of South...

Victor Cha, Ramon Pacheco Pardo

A major new history of North and South Korea, from the late nineteenth century to the present day 
 
 
  
Korea has a long, riveting history—it is also a divided nation. South Korea is a vibrant democracy, the tenth largest economy, and is home to a world-renowned culture. North Korea is ruled by the most authoritarian regime in the world, a poor country in a rich region, and is best known for the cult of personality surrounding the ruling Kim family. But both Koreas share a unique common history. 
 
 
  
Victor Cha and Ramon Pacheco Pardo draw on decades of research to explore the history of modern Korea, from the late nineteenth century, Japanese occupation, and Cold War division to the present day. A small country caught amongst the world's largest powers—including China, Japan, Russia, and the United States—Korea's fate has been closely connected to its geography and the strength of its leadership and society. This comprehensive history sheds light on the evolving identities of the two Koreas, explaining the sharp differences between North and South, and prospects for unification.

The Scientific Approach to...

Francis Story

This is an audiobook of Bodhi Leaves No. 55 by Francis Story (Anāgārika Sugatānanda), The Scientific Approach to Buddhism and The Appeal of Buddhism, two essays narrated by Christa Michel. The print edition can be found in the Pariyatti Edition of Collected Bodhi Leaves Vol. 2. The eBook of Bodhi Leaves No. 55 can be downloaded from the BPS website.
Excerpt from The Scientific Approach to Buddhism:
At present it may look as though man has only searched out the secrets of the universe in order to destroy himself with the power he has acquired; and of that there is certainly a danger. But I believe that a change in outlook is beginning to dawn, and that science itself, having destroyed the basis of much wrong thinking, is drawing us ever nearer to the realisation of the truth proclaimed by the Enlightened One. This is what I mean by “the scientific approach to Buddhism;” without being aware of it, the modern scientist and philosopher are being propelled irresistibly in the direction of Buddhism. Their uncertainties and doubts are spiritual “growing pains;” but a time will come quickly when they will realise that, although they have had to reject everything on which their ordinary religious and moral beliefs are founded, there is a higher religion—one based upon systematic investigation and the sincere search for truth—which will restore their lost faith in the universal principles of justice, truth and compassion. Those who now believe that man has come to the end of his tether will then see the opening up of vistas into the future that they only dimly suspect, and will recognise, beyond it all, the final goal of complete emancipation from the fetters of ignorance and delusion.
