Changing My Mind - Julian Barnes

A new book from one of our most acclaimed writers. ‘We always believe that changing our mind is an improvement, bringing a greater truthfulness to our dealings with the world and other people. It puts an end to vacillation, uncertainty, weak-mindedness. It seems to make us stronger and more mature. Well, we would think that, wouldn't we?’In this engaging and erudite essay, critically acclaimed writer Julian Barnes explores what is involved when we change our minds: about words, about politics, about books; about memories, age and time.

Such work can be undone only by acts of reclamation.’In a collection of essays, critiques and interviews, bell hooks responds to the ongoing dialogues about producing, exhibiting and criticising art and aesthetics in a world increasingly concerned with identity politics. hooks shares her own experience of the transformative power of art whilst exploring topics ranging from art in education and the home to the politics of space and imagination as a revolutionary tool.

How Confucius Changed My Mind - Charles B. Jones

A compelling exploration of humanity, morality, religious practice, and leading a good life based on traditional Confucian thought.In this exploration of humanity, morality, religious practice, and leading a good life based on traditional Confucian thought, you are invited on a path of transformation. The unexpected depths to be found in Confucianism surprised author Charles Jones when he began teaching East Asian religions to undergraduate students thirty years ago. It raised fascinating questions relevant to life today, like what does it mean to be human? To understand the Confucian answers to these questions, Jones familiarizes us with Confucius, his main successors, and the situations to which their writings responded.But this is not another textbook introduction to Chinese religion and thought. Jones is an engaging, inquisitive scholar and thought provocateur whose ideas address problems all of us face throughout our lives. By engaging with the Confucian ideas explored in this book, like rethinking “human nature” and uncovering cultural presuppositions previously unnoticed, you might discover new horizons and possibilities for your life that previously you never could have imagined. And you will discover Confucius in an all-new light as a profound shaper of modern thought as much as Aristotle and Lao-tzu—whose revolutionary ideas ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Light the touchpaper and stand well back'' New ScientistWe all like to think we have a hidden inner life. Most of us assume that our beliefs and desires arise from the murky depths of our minds, and, if only we could work out how to access this mysterious world, we could truly understand ourselves.

Changing Minds - Howard Gardner

Think about the last time you tried to change someone’s mind about something important: a voter’s political beliefs; a customer’s favorite brand; a spouse’s decorating taste. Chances are you weren’t successful in shifting that person’s beliefs in any way. In his book, Changing Minds, Harvard psychologist Howard Gardner explains what happens during the course of changing a mind – and offers ways to influence that process.Remember that we don’t change our minds overnight, it happens in gradual stages that can be powerfully influenced along the way. This book provides insights that can broaden our horizons and shape our lives.

Republished to celebrate the centenary of his birth, here is Gerald Durrell’s legendary account of his coming-of-age as a reader, writer and budding naturalist at Whipsnade Zoo.He joyfully recaptures the glory of this single formative year where, in the crucible of muck, operatic brown bears, and reading Pliny by night and tending to the lions by day, the passionate worldview of one of the century’s great animal-loving renegades came into full view.
