Our brains are noisy; certain regions are always grinding away at involuntary activities like daydreaming, worrying about the future, and self-chatter, taking up to forty-seven percent of our waking time. This is mindwandering—and while it can tug your attention away from the present, cognitive neuroscientist Moshe Bar is here to tell you about the method behind this apparent madness. Mindwandering is the first popular book to explore this multi-faceted phenomenon of your wandering mind and introduces you to the new, exciting research behind it.

Determinação, amor-próprio e bondade são recursos mentais que nos tornam resilientes: capazes de lidar com a adversidade, abrindo caminhos e superando os desafios em busca de oportunidades. Embora seja fundamental para nossa recuperação depois de perdas e traumas, a verdadeira resiliência oferece mais do que isso, promovendo bem-estar e uma sensação intrínseca de felicidade, amor e paz. Combinando ensinamentos da neurociência, da atenção plena e da psicologia positiva, este livro ensina como lidar com as dificuldades e ir atrás dos nossos sonhos com confiança.

Wendy Wood apresenta a fascinante ciência de como formamos hábitos e mostra como desbloquear a mente para realizar as mudanças que buscamos. Ela explica que 43% das nossas ações não são escolhas conscientes. Fazemos automaticamente, por hábito. É assim que respondemos às pessoas ao nosso redor, decidimos o que comprar, quando e como nos exercitar, comer ou beber. Mas sempre que queremos melhorar algo em nós mesmos, contamos com a força de vontade, na esperança de que a determinação seja capaz de promover mudanças positivas. Por isso é que falhamos tantas vezes.

We are taught that anxiety is dangerous and damaging, and that the solution to its pain is to eradicate it like we do any disease. Yet cutting-edge therapies, hundreds of self-help books and a panoply of medications have failed to keep debilitating anxiety at bay. That's because the anxiety-as-disease story is false—and it's harming us. Dr Tracy Dennis-Tiwary distils the latest research in psychology and neuroscience, combined with real-world stories and personal narrative, to argue that the discomfort of anxiety is a tool, rather than something to be stamped out at all costs.

Beatriz and Albert Sheldon have spent the last twenty years developing the novel therapeutic paradigm called Complex Integration of Multiple Brain Systems. They have pioneered a new methodology for "reading" and assessing emotional states using their patients' carefully observed psychophysiological phenomena as empirical evidence. Translating academic, scientific, and clinical research and successful training courses into a reference work that you can savor at leisure, the Sheldons have produced an approachable, intriguing, yet comprehensive milestone in psychotherapeutic literature.

In zahlreichen Fallgeschichten berichten sie nun erstmals aus dem breiten Spektrum der Neurologie und Psychiatrie. So begegnet ihnen eine junge Mutter, deren ALS-Diagnose bereits ihr Leben überschattet – doch ihr Schlafzimmerblick bringt die Ärzte auf eine rettende Spur.

Dark psychology tactics are used by people around us every day to manipulate, persuade, and influence us to get what they want. Dark psychology is the art and science of manipulation and mind control. While psychology is the study of human behavior and is central to our thoughts, actions, and interactions, the term "dark psychology" refers to where people use tactics of motivation, persuasion, and manipulation to get what they want.

¿Cómo reaccionamos ante las dificultades? ¿Cómo afrontamos los cambios y las incertidumbres que se suceden en la vida? ¿Cómo nos afecta lo desconocido? Las actitudes vitales que adoptamos frente a lo inesperado nacen en nuestro cerebro y al mismo tiempo lo condicionan. Son maneras de sentir y de actuar que influyen en la percepción que tenemos de nosotros mismos y en la relación con los demás.

A inteligência e a instrução acadêmica não apenas são incapazes de impedir nossos erros como podem nos tornar até mais vulneráveis a certos tipos de pensamento estúpido. As pessoas instruídas e inteligentes são menos inclinadas a aprender com seus erros ou a aceitar conselhos. E, quando erram, são mais capazes de criar argumentos elaborados que justifiquem seu racio­cínio. Embora esses fenômenos pareçam desconectados, alguns processos são comuns a todos eles: um padrão que vou chamar de “arma­dilha da inteligência”.

Does your dog get sad when you leave for the day? Does your cat purr because she loves you? Do bears attack when they’re angry? You can’t very well ask them. In fact, scientists haven’t been able to reach a consensus on whether animals even have emotions like humans do, let alone how to study them. Yet studies of animal emotion are critical for understanding human emotion and mental illness. In The Nature of the Beast, pioneering neuroscientist David J. Anderson describes a new approach to solving this problem.

Professors and husband-and-wife team Uta and Chris Frith have pioneered major studies of brain disorders throughout their nearly 50-year career. In Two Heads, their distinguished careers serve as a prism through which they share the compelling story of the birth of neuroscience and their paradigm-shifting discoveries across areas as wide-ranging as autism and schizophrenia research, and new frontiers of social cognition including diversity, prejudice, confidence, collaboration and empathy.
