Psychology Philosophy

Students and teachers alike face a dilemma: Why think deeply when we can just take a shortcut by googling something? Why read an article when we can learn from a social media headline? If, as educators, we want to encourage our students to value thoughtfulness and to embrace the effort it takes to reach deep understandings, we must model that behavior ourselves.

Today’s learners face a complex future, where multilayered technological and societal issues will require new ways of problem-solving.

Spätestens seit Lockdown und Schulausfall hinterfragen Eltern den Sinn vieler Maßnahmen rund um Schule und Kindeswohl. Zu Recht. Psychotherapeutin Gunda Frey warnt: "Wir erschaffen eine traumatisierte Generation!" Kinder werden heute von Geburt bis Schulabschluss den Zwängen eines auf "Funktionieren" optimierten Systems ausgesetzt - Rücksichtnahme auf ihre Bedürfnisse: meist Fehlanzeige! Das Ergebnis: Kinder, denen Eltern, Erzieher und Lehrer nicht das ermöglichen, was gut, gesund und nötig wäre. Die Resultate sind fatal.

Handfeste, alltagsnahe Wissenschaft von Deutschlands wichtigstem Verhaltensökonomen: Wie wir lernen können, das Gute in uns zu wecken. Würden Sie auf 100 Euro verzichten, um ein Leben zu retten? Die Antwort scheint klar. Und doch zeigt Armin Falk, dass wir oft das Gute wollen, es dann aber doch nicht tun. Warum fällt es uns so schwer, moralisch zu handeln? Was hindert uns daran, anderen zu helfen, das Klima zu schützen oder das Tierwohl zu achten? Wieso scheitern wir trotz guter Vorsätze und was können wir dagegen tun?

The research is clear: Human beings are born to play. In Game On? Brain On!, Lindsay Portnoy unpacks the games and playful experiences that invite engagement and deep learning. Using cognitive science to explore the ways in which play helps students acquire and maintain critical skills, Portnoy shows how inviting creativity and excitement into the classroom results in big gains for everyone.

Philosophy is the foundation of all of societies' thoughts, and notions of the famous thinkers percolate out to the masses. Most of philosophy has been detrimental to society because it is not thought through. War is stupid, regardless of how many great thinkers think it good. Poverty is a stupid scourge to our society, regardless of it being regarded as a necessary evil. This is a work of philosophy, but unlike historical philosophies, it does not give excuses for society as it is now, but gives plain and serious vision to how it can be.

What must I do to take away my shame? What must I do if I feel no shame? Before shame can be removed, it must be acknowledged. Shame is an emotional response to being out of sync with the integrity of my conscience. At its root, shame is about the deal I make with evil to get or do what my conscience says I must not have or do. Some say the answer to the problem of shame is to have no rules or laws for which I am to be accountable. But the lawless only change when their consequences affect themselves. The lawless have no empathy with their victims.

Existem filhos perfeitos? Não! Pois somos humanos e estamos sujeitos a errar. Vivemos fases, dificuldades, traumas, mudanças, perdas e tantas outras situações inesperadas que podem nos afetar ou causar emoções desconfortáveis.

In his sequel to Ignorance (Oxford University Press, 2012), Stuart Firestein shows us that the scientific enterprise is riddled with mistakes and errors - and that this is a good thing! Failure: Why Science Is So Successful delves into the origins of scientific research as a process that relies upon trial and error, one which inevitably results in a hefty dose of failure. In fact, scientists throughout history have relied on failure to guide their research, viewing mistakes as a necessary part of the process.

The days of teaching people to follow orders like cogs in an industrial machine are over. We must reinvent ourselves as individuals and as a culture. It is no longer possible - or even desirable - to learn one set of job skills and work your way up the ladder. Unfortunately, your current financial habits will tend to stay with you for the rest of your life and keep you stuck in a "barcode" job, unless you decide to make a change.

The Feeling of Teaching is part of a larger project, Teaching through Emotions (TTE), developed by the author, Elizabeth Burris. Throughout the book, listeners are shown the power of emotion work: practicing self-awareness, describing, looking for good reasons, guessing, self-disclosing, listening, and planning. By doing emotion work, teachers can take full advantage of the emotional and relational data their students are constantly providing to shift their teaching and better attune with the learners in their classrooms.

In this unabridged audiobook version of his acclaimed book, David Didau reignites the nature versus nurture debate around intelligence and offers research-informed guidance on how teachers can help their students acquire a robust store of knowledge and skills that is both powerful and useful.

El legado de los grandes filósofos puede ayudarnos enormemente en ese reto. Es un ejercicio mental que se practica a cualquier edad y que se perfecciona a medida que uno logra desprenderse de los prejuicios y malos hábitos adquiridos a lo largo de la vida. Hábitos que, en el fondo, no son otra cosa que los kilos de más que nos impiden desenvolvernos con soltura y enfrentarnos con garantías al día a día. De ese modo, tanto nuestros hijos o alumnos, como nosotros mismos gozaremos del factor determinante para llevar una vida feliz: la higiene mental.

You have just bumped into a great deal with a unique combo of two different books, which cover topics on critical thinking, rationality, and using intelligence as a moral compass.This is one of the best books about these particular sub-topics.

The Marvel of Martyrdom takes a broad perspective on self-sacrifice and martyrdom, bringing together religion, popular culture, history, psychology, and mythology. Stories of individuals both famous (Gandhi) and obscure (Rodrigo Rosenberg) intertwine with research on altruism, happiness, and radicalization to terrorism. The changing landscape of the book's setting - from The Roman Empire to 19th-century Russia to Nazi Germany to post-World War II India to present day Ukraine - makes the power of self-sacrifice and martyrdom come alive.

Have you always wanted to sharpen up your memory? Think faster? Or even absorb information twice as fast? If this sounds like you, then you’ve come to the right place. You see, self-improvement is something that we all strive for, but fixing our flaws and weaknesses is something we often tend to avoid, when really we shouldn’t. By simply implementing the practical and highly effective methods of speed reading, critical thinking, and memory improvement taught in these books, you will finally be on your way to becoming the ultimate version of yourself.

La liberazione dell'eros nelle sue forme neglette e represse è il solo serio antidoto al predominio mortifero della Norma e del capitalismo. Si tratta, dice Mieli, di aprire una breccia nella psiche mutilata dalla dittatura della normalità per lasciar emergere la transessualità sepolta in ciascuno di noi, "l'ermafroditismo originario e profondo di ogni individuo".

Reputation touches almost everything, guiding our behavior and choices in countless ways. But it is also shrouded in mystery. Why is it so powerful when the criteria by which people and things are defined as good or bad often appear to be arbitrary? Why do we care so much about how others see us that we may even do irrational and harmful things to try to influence their opinion? In this engaging book, Gloria Origgi draws on philosophy, social psychology, sociology, economics, and more to offer an illuminating account of an important yet oddly neglected subject.

With the lucid verve and solid scientific grounding of an Oliver Sacks or Malcolm Gladwell, Dr. Brian Boxer Wachler guides listeners on a fascinating tour of the bedrock of our existence - the way our senses perceive everything and everyone in the world around us. Why does one person see Jesus in a shower curtain, get a "bad feeling" about someone they've just met, or hear a conversation so differently than the other person? Boxer Wachler describes some of the mysterious medical conditions that cause non-psychiatric hallucinations and neurological mix-ups.

To call these unsettling times is an understatement: our political leaders are less and less respectable; in the realm of business, cheating, lying, and stealing are hazily defined; and in daily life, rapidly changing technology offers permission to act in ways inconceivable without it. Yet somehow this hasn't quite led to a complete free-for-all - people still draw lines around what is acceptable and what is not. Collinsworth sets out to understand how and why.
