National BestsellerCNBC and Strategy + Business Best Business Book of the YearIt’s the biggest revolution you’ve never heard of, and it’s hiding in plain sight. Over the past decade, Silicon Valley executives like Eric Schmidt and Elon Musk, Special Operators like the Navy SEALs and the Green Berets, and maverick scientists like Sasha Shulgin and Amy Cuddy have turned everything we thought we knew about high performance upside down. Instead of grit, better habits, or 10,000 hours, these trailblazers have found a surprising short cut. They''re harnessing rare and controversial states of consciousness to solve critical challenges and outperform the competition. New York Times bestselling author Steven Kotler and high performance expert Jamie Wheal spent four years investigating the leading edges of this revolution—from the home of SEAL Team Six to the Googleplex, the Burning Man festival, Richard Branson’s Necker Island, Red Bull’s training center, Nike’s innovation team, and the United Nations’ Headquarters. And what they learned was stunning: In their own ways, with differing languages, techniques, and applications, every one of these groups has been quietly seeking the same thing: the boost in information and inspiration that altered states provide. Today, this revolution is spreading to the mainstream, fueling a trillion dollar underground economy and forcing us to rethink how we can all lead richer, more productive, more satisfying lives. Driven by four accelerating forces—psychology, neurobiology, technology and pharmacology—we are gaining access to and insights about some of the most contested and misunderstood terrain in history. Stealing Fire is a provocative examination of what’s actually possible; a guidebook for anyone who wants to radically upgrade their life.

The New York Times bestselling author and human performance expert tests his knowledge and theories on his own aging body in a quest to become an expert skier at age fifty-three.Gnar: adjective, short for “gnarly,” def: any environment or situation that is high in perceived risk and high in actual risk.Country: noun, def: any defined territory, landscape or terrain, fictitious or real.Cutting-edge discoveries in embodied cognition, flow science, and network neuroscience have revolutionized how we think about peak performance aging. On paper, these discoveries should allow older athletes to progress in supposedly “impossible” activities like park skiing (think: jumps and tricks.) To see if theory worked in practice, Kotler conducted his own ass-on-the-line experiment in applied neuroscience and later-in-life skill acquisition: He tried to teach an old dog some new tricks.Recently, top pros have been performing well past a previously considered prime: World-class athletes such as Kelly Slater, the greatest surfer of all time, is winning competitions in his fifties; Tom Brady can beat players half his age. But what about the rest of us?Steven Kotler has been studying human performance for thirty years, and taught hundreds of thousands of people at all skill levels, age groups, and walks of life, how to achieve peak performance. Could his own advice work for him?Now in paperback, Gnar Country is the chronicle of his experience pushing his own aging body past preconceived limits. It’s a book about goals and grit and progression. It’s an antidote for weariness that is inspiring, practical, and, often hilarious. It is about growing old and staying rad. It’s a feverish reading experience that makes you put down the book, get out there, and move. Whether hurtling down a mountain side, running your first 10K race, or taking your career to new heights, Kotler challenges us to test ourselves, surpass our limits, and achieve our own impossible, whatever it might be. Part personal journey, part science experiment, part how-to guide, Kotler takes us on his punk rock, high-velocity joy-ride for a better life in spite—and often in defiance of—the perceived limitations of the aging human body.

A razor-sharp analysis of how record-breaking exploits in extreme sport are redefining the limits of being human.Right now, more people are risking their lives for their sports then ever before in history. As Thomas Pynchon once put it in Gravity''s Rainbow, ''it is not often that Death is told so clearly to f@%* off''. Over the past three decades, the bounds of the possible in action and adventure sports - from sky-diving to motocross to surfing and beyond - have been pushed farther and faster. A generation''s worth of iconoclastic misfits have rewritten the rules of the feasible; not just raising the bar, but obliterating it altogether. Along the way, they have become a force pushing evolution relentlessly onward. In a thrilling narrative that draws on biology, psychology, and philosophy, Steven Kotler asks why, at the tail end of the 20th century and the early portion of the 21st, are we seeing such a multi-sport assault on reality? Did we somehow slip through a wormhole to another universe where gravity is optional and common sense obsolete? And where - if anywhere - do our actual limits lie?

It has been said that if we wish to make God laugh, all we have to do is make plans. The enthusiastic participation of the audience contributes an important dimension to the dynamic quality of the two seminars in this volume, a reprint of the original CPA Press version, which focus on Uranus, that most unpredictable and disruptive of astrological symbols, and one of the most misunderstood. Part One explores Uranus in the natal chart, examining the mythic images of Ouranos the sky-god and Prometheus the Titan, bringer of cosmic fire, and investigating the psychological dynamics of the outlaw, the revolutionary, and the collective urge toward evolution and perfection. Part Two deals with the 84-year transit cycle of Uranus and how it is expressed psychologically and through external events and relationship patterns. This important cycle is also explored in relation to the cycle of Saturn, which closely shadows Uranus throughout the individual''s life. The Art of Stealing Fire is often highly provocative, challenging our conventional astrological assumptions about Uranus and asking us to reflect on those times when we must find a way to balance our individual values with the great collective urge toward progress of which this planet is a symbol. This book is accessible to astrological students at every level, but it will also prove revelatory to experienced astrological practitioners.

For six days the Spartans held the invaders at bay. In the final hours - their shields broken, swords and spears shattered - they fought with their bare hands before being overwhelmed . . .

Steven Pinker, the bestselling author of The Language Instinct, deploys his gift for explaining big ideas in The Sense of Style - an entertaining writing guide for the 21st centuryWhat is the secret of good prose? Does writing well even matter in an age of instant communication? Should we care? In this funny, thoughtful book about the modern art of writing, Steven Pinker shows us why we all need a sense of style.More than ever before, the currency of our social and cultural lives is the written word, from Twitter and texting to blogs, e-readers and old-fashioned books. But most style guides fail to prepare people for the challenges of writing in the 21st century, portraying it as a minefield of grievous errors rather than a form of pleasurable mastery. They fail to deal with an inescapable fact about language: it changes over time, adapted by millions of writers and speakers to their needs. Confusing changes in the world with moral decline, every generation believes the kids today are degrading society and taking language with it. A guide for the new millennium, writes Steven Pinker, has to be different.Drawing on the latest research in linguistics and cognitive science, Steven Pinker replaces the recycled dogma of previous style guides with reason and evidence. This thinking person''s guide to good writing shows why style still matters: in communicating effectively, in enhancing the spread of ideas, in earning a reader''s trust and, not least, in adding beauty to the world. Eye-opening, mind-expanding and cheerful, The Sense of Style shows that good style is part of what it means to be human.

Sourozenci Melanie, Annie a Steven Fordovi zažili to, co zažívá mnoho dětí – jejich rodiče se rozvedli. Ve své knize popisují, čím si prošli, co se naučili zvládnout a jak vnímali to, že se jejich rodiče rozešli. „Co mám dělat, když se rodiče hádají?“ „Co to znamená, když se rozvedou?“ „Jak to, že mi nedokážou říci, že se budou rozvádět?“ „Můžu to nějak zastavit?“ Kde budu bydlet, co se mnou bude?“ „Táta si našel přítelkyni. Jak se k ní mám chovat?“ a podobné otázky se honí hlavou většině dětí, jejichž rodiče procházejí rozvodem. Melanie, Annie a Steven na ně dokážou odpovědět, protože to také zažili. Knihu zapsala Jann Blackstone-Ford, mediátorka specializující se na rozvody a konflikty v nevlastních rodinách. Založila neziskovou organizaci Bonus Families, která se věnuje tématu komunikace mezi rozvedenými partnery a jejich novými rodinami.

Odehrál třetí nejvyšší počet zápasů za reprezentaci v historii anglického fotbalu. Byl pravděpodobně nejlepším a zcela jistě nejzanícenějším britským sportovcem své generace. Ale kdo je vlastně Steven Gerrard? Za svůj milovaný Liverpool odehrál více než 700 zápasů a za národní tým Anglie dalších 114. Steven Gerrard je sportovec, jemuž se nikdo nevyrovná v oddanosti spoluhráčům, a je nezpochybnitelným vzorem. Ale díky čemu se stal tím, kým je? A díky čemu se mu podařilo zůstat tak dlouho na vrcholu v nejtěžší lize světa? V knize Můj příběh vypráví Gerrard upřímně o své mimořádné kariéře, klíčových zápasech a momentech, na něž nám nabízí vlastní pohled ze hřiště. Ať už je to úžasný obrat Liverpoolu ve finále Ligy mistrů 2005 nebo jeho starty na mistrovstvích světa a Evropy, podává nám vzrušující obraz výher – a proher – před desítkami tisíc bouřících fanoušků. A především je to úžasný a velmi vzácný osobní příběh o tom, jaké to je zůstat věrný jedinému klubu v časech dobrých i zlých. Bez vytáček, odvážně a upřímně se v knize Stevena Gerrarda Můj příběh vypráví o typu hráčů, kteří už vymírají – o muži, jenž drží slovo a jenž je věrný svému klubu i sám sobě.

STEVEN GERRARD odohral za reprezentáciu Anglicka tretí najvyšší počet zápasov v jej histórii. Možno ho považovať za najväčšieho a nepochybne najoddanejšieho britského športovca jeho generácie. No kto je v skutočnosti Steven Gerrard? Predovšetkým je to jeden z najpríťažlivejších športových vzorov. Za svoj milovaný Liverpool odohral viac než sedemsto zápasov a ďalších stoštrnásť v drese anglického národného tímu. Ako sa však stal tým, kým bol? Ako sa mu podarilo udržať tak dlho v špičke najťažšej futbalovej ligy sveta? V knihe Môj príbeh hovorí Steven Gerrard otvorene o svojej výnimočnej futbalovej kariére, o pozadí kľúčových zápasov a prináša zaujatý pohľad hráča priamo na ihrisku. Či rozpráva o ohromujúcom triumfe Liverpoolu v Lige majstrov v roku 2005, alebo o svojich výkonoch na mnohých svetových a európskych turnajoch, zakaždým nám sprostredkúva vzrušujúci zážitok z prežívania výhier – i prehier – pred zrakmi desiatok tisícov rozvášnených divákov. Nadovšetko však spoznávame neuveriteľný a zriedkavý osobný príbeh o lojalite k jednému klubu v dobrom i v zlom, nech bola cena akákoľvek. Kniha Môj príbeh je poslednou bodkou odvážneho, statočného, poctivého, no i chybujúceho futbalistu, akí sa už nerodia, je príbehom muža, ktorý si stál za svojím slovom, za svojím klubom a bol vždy sám sebou.

"Zlomový okamžik v životě Vladimira Vladimiroviče Putina nastal na podzim roku 1989 v Drážďanech. Před místní rezidenturou KGB, kde mladý Putin sloužil, se shromáždil dav protestujících, kteří chtěli vzít nenáviděnou organizaci útokem. Bez vojenské podpory nemohl Putin budovu dlouho udržet. Rozhodl se tedy blafovat. Vyšel neozbrojen před bránu a prohlásil: "Moji vojáci mají zbraně. Vydal jsem jim rozkazy: pokud někdo vkročí do objektu, mají zahájit palbu." Zástup protestujících se rozešel. Ve své knize Nový car: Vzestup a vláda Vladimira Putina předkládá americký investigativní novinář Steven Lee Myers barvitý obraz muže, který se z řadového agenta KGB vyšvihl až na vrchol vládní pyramidy - stal se ruským prezidentem. V důkladně rešeršovaných kapitolách rozebírá Putinovu rodinu a dětství, jeho kariérní růst i kontroverzní rozhodnutí v pozici prezidenta. Výsledkem je přesvědčivý a živý psychologický portrét člověka, jehož prvotní motivací je zachování zdání autority za každou cenu, člověka, který nedává najevo slabost, který improvizuje i chladně kalkuluje a u něhož se cílevědomost váže s výkonností a flexibilitou. O autorovi: Steven Lee Myers je americký investigativní novinář, který od roku 1989 pracuje v listu The New York Times. Od roku 2002 strávil během dvou pobytů více než sedm let jako zahraniční korespondent v Rusku a referoval o druhé čečenské válce, ukrajinské oranžové revoluci, zimní olympiádě v ruském Soči i anexi Krymu. Předtím pracoval jako novinář v New Yorku, Washingtonu a za války v Iráku také v Bagdádu. Nyní se specializuje na zahraniční záležitosti a bezpečnostní témata. Nový car: Vzestup a vláda Vladimira Putina je jeho první knihou. Citace: "Nový car je strhujícím a nesmírně podrobným životopisem Vladimira Putina, v němž Myers zevrubným, až shakespearovským způsobem vysvětluje, proč Putin jedná právě tak, jak jedná." - Robert D. Kaplan, geopolitický analytik "Velmi působivý portrét děsivě mocného autokrata." - Kirkus Review "Nový car Stevena Leeho Myerse není prvním Putinovým životopisem, ale do dnešního data je životopisem nejsolidnějším. Uvážlivým a komplexním způsobem odhaluje pravou tvář jednoho z nejuzavřenějších světových vůdců." - Daniel Treisman, The Washington Post "Myers předkládá obraz člověka, který přechází od jedné krize ke druhé s jediným cílem: aby z něj vyzařovala síla. Zasvěcený a detailní životopis." - Gal Beckerman, The New York Times Book Review "V životopise Vladimira Putina Steven Lee Myers geniálně kombinuje vyprávěcí umění, psychologickou sondu i politickou analýzu." - Nina Lvovna Chruščovová, americká politoložka, pravnučka Nikity Chruščova"

Audiokniha: Odblokujte svou kreativitu a vyhrajte tvůrčí bitvy Žádná jiná kniha mě na válečné stezce proti vlastním slabostem neposunula ke 100% profesionalitě tak jako Válka umění. Odhaluje nejhlubší podstatu toho, oč by měl usilovat každy´ tvůrce, umělec či profesionál.“ — Robert Vlach, autor knihy Na volné noze. Měli jste někdy v noci před spaním vizi člověka, kterým byste se mohli stát, práce, které byste mohli dosáhnout, díla, které byste chtěli vytvořit? Jste spisovatel, který nepíše, malíř, který nemaluje, nebo podnikatel, který nikdy nezaložil podnik? Potom znáte Odpor: temnou sílu, bránící kreativitě a úspěchu. Steven Pressfield vyhlásil Odporu válku a ve své přísné, strohé a zároveň zábavné knize vás naučí, jak tohoto nepřítele porazit a rozbít tak bloky, které dusí vaši tvořivost. Po poslechu Války umění o sobě mnohé pochopíte. Několik dní jí budete mít plnou hlavu, a pak možná změníte svůj život. Autorův odkaz na Umění války od Sun-c’ je naprosto na místě, neboť Pressfield považuje tvorbu a umění za boj tvůrce se sebou samy´m. Válka umění vyšla poprvé v roce 2002. Od té doby se dočkala překladů do mnoha světovy´ch jazyků a stále patří mezi nejprodávanější knihy o kreativitě. Inspirovala a stále inspiruje statisíce čtenářů z celého světa. Slovy autora: „ Většina z nás má dva životy. Ten, ktery´ žijeme, a potom nežity´ vnitřní život.” Není to škoda? Steven Pressfield (*1943) Steven Pressfield je romanopisec, scenárista i autor příruček o tvorbě a kreativitě. Narodil se na Trinidadu, po službě u americké námořní pěchoty vystudoval psychologii na Dukeově univerzitě a poté pracoval v mnoha pomocny´ch profesích. Trvalo mu dlouhy´ch 17 let, než byl schopen uživit se samotny´m psaním. A kdo jiny´ by měl o tvorbě psát než ten, kdo dokázal překonat tvůrčí bloky, nevzdal se a dosáhl úspěchu?

"If anyone can save capitalism from the capitalists, it's Steven Pearlstein. This lucid, brilliant book refuses to abandon capitalism to those who believe morality and justice irrelevant to an economic system." -Ezra Klein, founder and editor-at-large, VoxPulitzer Prize-winning economics journalist Steven Pearlstein argues that our thirty year experiment in unfettered markets has undermined core values required to make capitalism and democracy work.With a New Introduction by the AuthorThirty years ago, "greed is good" and "maximizing shareholder value" became the new mantras woven into the fabric of our business culture, economy, and politics. Although, around the world, free market capitalism has lifted more than a billion people from poverty, in the United States most of the benefits of economic growth have been captured by the richest 10%, along with providing justification for squeezing workers, cheating customers, avoiding taxes, and leaving communities in the lurch. As a result, Americans are losing faith that a free market economy is the best system.In Moral Capitalism, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Steven Pearlstein chronicles our descent and challenges the theories being taught in business schools and exercised in boardrooms around the country. We're missing a key tenet of Adam Smith's wealth of nations: without trust and social capital, democratic capitalism cannot survive. Further, equality of incomes and opportunity need not come at the expense of economic growth.Pearlstein lays out bold steps we can take as a country: a guaranteed minimum income paired with universal national service, tax incentives for companies to share profits with workers, ending class segregation in public education, and restoring competition to markets. He provides a path forward that will create the shared prosperity that will sustain capitalism over the long term.Previously published as Can American Capitalism Survive?

A fascinating and incisive examination of our language instinct from award-winning science writer Steven Mithen.Along with the concepts of consciousness and intelligence, our capacity for language sits right at the core of what makes us human. But while the evolutionary origins of language have provoked speculation and impassioned debate, music has been neglected if not ignored. Like language it is a universal feature of human culture, one that is a permanent fixture in our daily lives.In THE SINGING NEANDERTHALS, Steven Mithen redresses the balance, drawing on a huge range of sources, from neurological case studies through child psychology and the communication systems of non-human primates to the latest paleoarchaeological evidence.The result is a fascinating and provocative work and a succinct riposte to those, like Steven Pinker, who have dismissed music as a functionless and unimportant evolutionary byproduct.

''I believe this book will change the conversation in schools on children''s behaviour.'' - Dr Luna CentifantiA School Without Sanctions offers an innovative approach to behaviour management in schools, prioritising compassion and behaviour modification over punishment. Drawing on their award-winning methods, Steven Baker and Mick Simpson explain why challenging behaviour occurs and provide a toolbox of non-confrontational approaches that will benefit the whole school community.When Steven and Mick set out to transform their school''s approach to behaviour, it changed everything. With the help of Dr Alice Jones Bartoli at Goldsmiths, they developed a sanction-free approach in their special school for boys with social, emotional and mental health (SEMH) difficulties. Far from descending into anarchy, lessons began to improve and student–staff relationships flourished. The school is now rated outstanding in all areas, and more importantly, student outcomes have been remarkable.Steven and Mick apply this experience, as well as their work in pupil referral units and young offender institutions, to explore their strategies for managing behaviour without the need for zero tolerance, discussing exclusions, trauma, motivation and engagement along the way. Rooted in neuroscience and evolutionary psychology, this book will revolutionise the way you think about behaviour management, help boost student mental health and academic achievement, and protect teacher wellbeing.

He’s back! In this second instalment of Steven Froelich’s Latin American odyssey, the Man Without a Plan lands in Belize, a country he knows nothing about. But Froelich has a talent for making himself at home wherever he is, amassing an impressive array of new friends in a short time – some of whom can even match his penchant for being in a near-constant buzz from industrial-quantity drugs and drink.As ever, the cock-a-hoop characters Steven ingratiates himself with become his surrogate dysfunctional family. But Tracey, Devonais, Ask Bobby!, Valentino and a pack of feral kids led by the gleefully destructive Molokai soon have Steven wondering whether or not his cheerfully transactional relationships are, in fact, binding him ever more tightly in a web of scams that threatens to leave him broke and stranded in this shabby paradise. Is his paranoia justifiable, or is that just the continuous cocaine use? His response is to agree to renting an SUV and embarking all together on a road trip along the coast, taking in shantytowns, fine hotels, beaches and, at a low ebb, jail. Why do ‘mechanics’ keep appearing every time the truck mysteriously fails? Why are his credit cards failing just as frequently? Who’s zoomin’ who?Coarse, irresponsible and wilfully ignorant, Froelich is nevertheless observant and caring at heart – and Belize is about the ways in which chaotic, complex human beings find community, no matter where they’re from or where they’re headed.Features twelve full-colour illustrations by Froelich’s collaborator Oscar Zárate.

Jak fotografie přivodila sociální reformu?Co spojuje chlazení potravin s Hollywoodem?A jak náš boj se špínou pomohl vytvořit chytré telefony?V tomto příběhu o důvtipných průlomech a neopěvovaných hrdinech zkoumá Steven Johnson zásadní inovace, které změnily svět a to, jak v něm žijeme. V tomto ilustrovaném svazku zkoumá Steven Johnson historii inovací během staletí. Sleduje vývoj šesti klíčových technologií moderního života (chlazení, hodiny, čočky, čištění vody, zaznamenávaný zvuk a umělé světlo) od doby, kdy je stvořili amatéři a podnikatelé až po jejich nezamýšlené historické důsledky. Knihu doplňují překvapivé příběhy o náhodných géniích a brilantních omylech - o francouzském vydavateli, který vynalezl fonograf před Edisonem, ale zapomněl k němu přidat i přehrávání; o „ledovém králi“ 19. století, který vydělal jmění na dovozu zmrzlé vody z jezer v Nové Anglii do Ria a Bombaje. Šest inovací, které stvořily moderní svět zkoumá skrytou historii za každodenními předměty současného života. Svým nezaměnitelným stylem zkoumá Johnson nečekané souvislosti mezi zdánlivě nesouvisejícími obory: jak vynález klimatizace umožnil největší migraci lidí v dějinách druhu do jinak nehostinných měst jako Dubaj a Phoenix, jak kyvadlové hodiny pomohly dát do pohybu průmyslovou revoluci a jak čistá voda umožnila vyrábět počítačové čipy. Šest inovací, které stvořily moderní svět je příběhem o spolupracujících sítích, které budují moderní svět. Kniha je napsaná provokativně, informativně a zaujme stejně jako předchozí tituly, které Johnsonovi získaly fanoušky po celém světě.

One woman's quest for truth reveals a dark family secret long buried in Prague's Nazi past. WINNER: Pinnacle Book Achievement Award, Fall 2015 -- Best Books in Fiction "Imagine Stephen King wrote Schindler's List..." Nikki [Historical, Thriller, Literary, Holocaust] Every family holds to secrets, but some are far darker, reach deeper, and touch a rawer nerve than others. Vanesa Neuman is the daughter of Holocaust survivors, and her childhood in the cramped intimacy of south Tel Aviv is shadowed by her parents' unspoken wartime experiences. The past for her was a closed book... until her father passes away and that book falls literally open. Vanesa must now unravel the mystery of the diary she has received--and the strange symbol within--at all costs. Set against the backdrop of the Nazi occupation and the Jewish Museum of Prague--Adolf Eichmann's "Museum of an Extinct Race"--Galerie is fast-paced historical fiction in the tradition of Tatiana De Rosnay's Sarah's Key. From Jerusalem's Yad V'Shem Holocaust research center, to the backstreets of Prague, and into the former "paradise ghetto" of Theresienstadt, Vanesa's journey of understanding will reveal a darker family past than she ever imagined--a secret kept alive for over half a century. PERFECT FOR BOOK CLUBS: A book club guide is included at the end of the story. Galerie by Steven Greenberg Evolved Publishing presents a thrilling work of historical fiction that examines how Holocaust horrors still resonate generations later, and how even deep wounds of betrayal can ultimately heal.

Môže nám kniha pomôcť byť racionálnejší? Môžeme vďaka nej pochopiť, prečo je všade okolo nás toľko iracionality? Odpovede nielen na tieto otázky a mnohé ďalšie zaujímavé informácie nájdeme práve tu, v knihe autora bestsellerov New York Times Stevena Pinkera.Ľudstvo dnes disponuje priam nevídanými vedomosťami a znalosťami, no zároveň paradoxne akoby prichádzalo o zdravý rozum. Ako je možné, že druh, ktorý dokázal za necelý rok vyvinúť vakcíny proti ochoreniu COVID-19, verí toľkým nezmyslom, šarlatánstvam a konšpiráciám?Steven Pinker rázne odmieta klišé, že ľudia sú jednoduché tvory pochádzajúce z jaskýň, ktorých život riadia povery, skreslenia a omyly. Koniec koncov, objavili sme zákony prírody, skrotili planétu, predĺžili a uľahčili si život a v neposlednom rade sme zadefinovali aj pravidlá racionality. Dokážeme fungovať v neakademickom a netechnokratickom prostredí, kde trávime väčšinu času, no akosi nie sme schopní využívať na uvažovanie nástroje, ktoré sme objavovali celé tisícročia: logiku, kritické myslenie, pravdepodobnosť, koreláciu a kauzalitu. Nevieme optimálne reagovať na nové poznatky, prispôsobiť im svoje názory či správne sa rozhodovať jednotlivo aj kolektívne. Tieto nástroje jednoducho nepatria do našej bežnej výbavy. A navyše nám ich doteraz nikto zrozumiteľne nevysvetlil.Kniha Racionalita skúma aj opak, teda iracionalitu. Steven Pinker v nej vysvetľuje, ako racionálne presadzovanie sebeckých cieľov, sektárska solidarita a mytológia ničia kolektívnu racionalitu a mrzačia spoločnosť. Kolektívna racionalita sa opiera o normy, ktorých cieľom je poznanie objektívnej pravdy.Racionalitu potrebujeme ako soľ. Vďaka nej sa lepšie rozhodujeme v súkromí aj vo verejnom živote.

Dr. Steven R. Gundry, the New York Times bestselling author of the groundbreaking Plant Paradox series, shares compelling evidence that our gut microbiome is driving our thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and our mental, emotional, and neuronal health—and shows us how to heal our microbiomes to take back control of our minds.In his previous bestselling books, Steven R. Gundry taught readers how to reverse disease and improve health and well-being by preventing and repairing leaky gut. In The Gut-Brain Paradox, he delves even more deeply into the mysterious and long misunderstood world of the human microbiome. Here Dr. Gundry uncovers the complex and multifaceted ways in which our microbes are controlling the health and functioning of our brains, and how the gut-brain connection is made long before we are even born.The Gut-Brain Paradox shines a fascinating light on how the one-two punch of leaky gut and gut dysbiosis, together driven by western diets, overuse of antibiotics and other medications, and environmental toxins allow pathogenic bacteria to take over. These “bad bugs” cause inflammation and hijack the intricate messaging systems that run from the gut to the brain, setting the stage for neurological changes, brain fog, neurodegeneration, mental health issues, personality alterations, and even addiction.However, these changes are reversible. Featuring the latest science, easy-to-follow recipes, and supplement guides, The Gut-Brain Paradox shows us how to eat to restore not only our inner balance, but our mental energy and well-being, too.
