From the author of The Changing Mind and The Organized Mind comes The New York Times bestseller which unravels the mystery of our perennial love affair with music***** What do the music of Bach, Depeche Mode and John Cage fundamentally have in common? Music is an obsession at the heart of human nature, even more fundamental to our species than language. From Mozart to the Beatles, neuroscientist, psychologist and internationally-bestselling author Daniel Levitin reveals the role of music in human evolution, shows how our musical preferences begin to form even before we are born and explains why music can offer such an emotional experience.In This Is Your Brain On Music Levitin offers nothing less than a new way to understand music, and what it can teach us about ourselves. ***** Music seems to have an almost wilful, evasive quality, defying simple explanation, so that the more we find out, the more there is to know . . . Daniel Levitin s book is an eloquent and poetic exploration of this paradox Sting You ll never hear music in the same way again Classic FM magazine Music, Levitin argues, is not a decadent modern diversion but something of fundamental importance to the history of human development Literary Review

THE INSTANT SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLERFrom the bestselling author of This Is Your Brain on Music and The Organized Mind, a surprising and inspiring exploration of the healing power of music. Fascinating Observer Fun and thoughtful Financial Times Eye-opening Rolling StoneWe are only just beginning to appreciate the healing power of music. In recent years, a wave of scientific research has upended everything we once knew about its effects on our brains: not only in reducing stress, but also in enhancing cognitive function, slowing the spread of neurodegenerative diseases like Parkinsonâ ™s and Alzheimerâ ™s, even strengthening our immune systems.Here, a neuroscientist and celebrated musician introduces a bold new paradigm for medical treatment, rooted in the unexpected influence of music on our minds and bodies. From explaining how â ˜rhythmic auditory stimulationâ ™ can fight multiple sclerosis, to examining why Tracy Chapmanâ ™s songs might just help cure PTSD, Professor Daniel Levitin offers surprising insights into the new science of music as medicine.Along the way, he explores how each of us can use music to calm our thoughts, repair our memories and heal our deepest psychological wounds. The result is both a surprising tour through the science of music, and a joyful celebration of humanityâ ™s oldest obsession._ For many years I have wondered why a bunch of frequencies organised into a piece of music has the ability, even without words, to make the listener cry and become emotional. Although I know this happens to me and many people, I have often wondered how this can be. Dr Levitin, in this latest book, Music as Medicine, has some fascinating insights into this great phenomenon.

Nejnovější neurovědecké výzkumy naznačují zcela nový způsob uvažování o stárnutí - o paměti, systémech vnímání, inteligenci, dokonce i o motivaci, bolesti a našem společenském životě. Daniel J. Levitin se těmito vědeckými poznatky zabývá a ukazuje čtenářům, co se můžeme naučit od těch, kteří to umí a stárnou radostně. Zároveň se dočteme, jak nejlépe přizpůsobit naši kulturu tak, aby plně využívala moudrost a zkušenosti starších lidí. Během svého zkoumání, co stárnutí skutečně znamená, Levitin odhaluje nejlepší strategii pro fyzickou a psychickou odolnost a přidává praktické rady zvyšující kognitivní schopnosti, vhodné s přibývajícím věkem pro každého. Žijeme totiž déle než lidé v minulosti a s tím přicházejí nové výzvy pro naši fyzickou i duševní pohodu. Když jsou starší lidé při ohlédnutí se za svým životem požádáni, aby řekli, kdy byli nejšťastnější, co asi řeknou? Možná v osmi letech, kdy měli málo starostí? Možná v pubertě, kdy se věnovali všem možným aktivitám a objevování sexu? Možná když chodili na vysokou nebo v prvních letech, kdy zakládali rodinu? Špatně. Věk, který se nejčastěji objevuje jako nejšťastnější období života, je osmdesát dva let! Cílem této knihy je pomoci prodloužit toto číslo o deset nebo dvacet let. Věda říká, že to jde. Co tedy můžeme udělat pro to, abychom si udrželi sílu těla, mysli a ducha a zároveň se smířili s omezeními, která nám stárnutí může přinést? Co se můžeme naučit od těch, kteří stárnou s radostí a zůstávají vitální a aktivní i po osmdesátce, devadesátce, a dokonce i déle? Jak přizpůsobit naši kulturu, aby sloužila potřebám stárnoucích generací a zároveň více využívala jejich moudrost, zkušenosti a motivaci přispívat společnosti?

Is it in our nature to be altruistic, or evil, to make art, use tools, or create language? Is it in our nature to think in any particular way? For Daniel L. Everett, the answer is a resounding no: it isn t in our nature to do any of these things because human nature does not exist at least not as we usually think of it. Flying in the face of major trends in Evolutionary Psychology and related fields, he offers a provocative and compelling argument in this book that the only thing humans are hardwired for is freedom: freedom from evolutionary instinct and freedom to adapt to a variety of environmental and cultural contexts. Everett sketches a blank-slate picture of human cognition that focuses not on what is in the mind but, rather, what the mind is in namely, culture. He draws on years of field research among the Amazonian people of the Piraha in order to carefully scrutinize various theories of cognitive instinct, including Noam Chomsky s foundational concept of universal grammar, Freud s notions of unconscious forces, Adolf Bastian s psychic unity of mankind, and works on massive modularity by evolutionary psychologists such as Leda Cosmides, John Tooby, Jerry Fodor, and Steven Pinker. Illuminating unique characteristics of the Piraha language, he demonstrates just how differently various cultures can make us think and how vital culture is to our cognitive flexibility. Outlining the ways culture and individual psychology operate symbiotically, he posits a Buddhist-like conception of the cultural self as a set of experiences united by various apperceptions, episodic memories, ranked values, knowledge structures, and social roles and not, in any shape or form, biological instinct. The result is fascinating portrait of the dark matter of the mind, one that shows that our greatest evolutionary adaptation is adaptability itself.

Současná informační doba nás zahlcuje nebývalou záplavou nejrůznějších informací. Zároveň se od nás očekává, že budeme o svých životech rozhodovat zodpovědně a rychleji než kdykoli jindy v lidské historii. Není proto divu, že běžní lidé velice často uvádí, že neustále ztrácí klíče od auta či brýle, že nestíhají schůzky a že se cítí vyčerpanější než dříve. Velkou námahu je stojí pouze udržet krok s neustálými změnami a novými podněty. Někteří výjimeční lidé ale tento tok informací zvládnout dokáží a získávají tím oproti jiným velkou výhodu. V knize Organizovaná mysl doktor Daniel J. Levitin představuje nejnovější poznatky z kognitivní neurovědy, na kterých ukazuje, čím úspěšní lidé vynikají a díky jakým metodám se to mohou naučit opravdu všichni. Často stačí pouze změnit způsob, jakým si organizujeme domov, pracoviště a volný čas. V mnoha zábavných kapitolách začínajících od organizace kuchyňské zásuvky k různému harampádí, přes péči o vlastní zdraví k novým pracovním postupům v kancelářích odhaluje praktické použití těchto výzkumů. Kniha Organizovaná mysl ukazuje, jak se s neurovědeckou perspektivou orientovat v přívalu informací v jednadvacátém století a čelit výzvám našeho každodenního života. Tento text pojednává o nejrůznějších aspektech uspořádání naší mysli. Probereme historii organizačních systémů, vyzkoušených lidmi v průběhu staletí, abychom viděli, které z nich uspěly, které ne a proč. Vysvětlíme si, proč vůbec věci ztrácíme a jak se tomu snaží bránit ti chytřejší a svědomitější. Připomeneme si, jak jsme si věci osvojovali v dětství a jak to můžeme využít i dnes. Lepší organizace času, nám pomůže nejen k vyšším výkonům, ale poskytne nám i víc prostoru na zábavu, hry, blízké vztahy a tvořivost.

This highly innovative new book reconsiders the structure of basic emotions, the self and the mind. It clinically covers mental disorders, therapeutic interventions, defense mechanisms, consciousness and personality and results in a comprehensive discussion of human responses to the environmental crisis.For openers, a novel psychodynamic model of happiness, sadness, fear and anger is presented that captures their object relational features. It offers a look through the eyes of these specific emotions and delineates how they influence the interaction with other persons. As regulation of the emotional state is the core task of the self, dysregulation can lead to mental disorders. Clinical cases of post-traumatic stress disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder and depression are discussed, using the model to outline the emotional turbulence underneath. Finally, the elaborated theory is used to analyse personal responses to the environmental crisis and political strategies that capitalise on them. This book will appeal to scholars, psychotherapists and psychiatrists with an interest in emotions and who wish to challenge their own implicit theory of emotion with an explicit new model. It will also be of interest for academic researchers and professionals in fields where emotional processes play a pivotal role.

A tour de force of science and history writing by one of our most important psychiatric leaders. John H. Krystal M.D., Professor of Psychiatry, Yale University A riveting read - told through the eyes of one of the world s most accomplished and compassionate psychiatrists. Professor Karl J. Friston, Queen Square Institute of Neurology, University College London Edward Bullmore has given us a profoundly important book for family members, students, and professionals interested in mental health and mental illness. Dr. Thomas R Insel, Former Director of U.S. National Institute of Mental Health Perhaps if more politicians read this book and understood what goes wrong in the minds of people with schizophrenia, they might be more willing to devote sufficient resources to get people better. Sir Robin MacGregor Murray, Professor of Psychiatric Research at the Institute of Psychiatry, King s CollegeFor centuries, mental and physical health have been divided and disorders of the mind and body have been treated as if they were poles apart. This deep-rooted division has shaped medicine, psychiatry, and society. But what if this mind/body split is not only outdated - but dangerously misleading?In this groundbreaking follow-up to his bestselling The Inflamed Mind, psychiatrist and neuroscientist Edward Bullmore challenges one of medicine s most enduring assumptions.Through the lens of schizophrenia - perhaps the most misunderstood of all psychiatric disorders - Bullmore explores what he calls the original schism and the under-examined history of psychiatry itself.Taking readers on a gripping journey through the evolving science of schizophrenia, illuminated by his personal experiences as a researcher and clinician, Bullmore lifts the lid on psychiatry s dark past. He highlights how the horror of the Nazi eugenics programme magnified a split between brain and mind theories which persists to this day. And he expertly introduces some of the new science that is building the case for a radical rethink of how we understand - and treat - so-called mental illness in the 21st century.The Divided Mind shows us why and how we can now change our minds about the origins of one of the most mysterious and stigmatised disorders in medicine. It challenges us all to escape from our history to a more joined-up future for mental and physical health.

A brilliant, no-nonsense profile of the criminal mind, newly updated in 2022 to include the latest research, effective methods for dealing with hardened criminals, and an urgent call to rethink criminal justice from expert witness Stanton E. Samenow, Ph.D. “Utterly compelling reading, full of raw insight into the dark mind of the criminal.”—John Douglas, author of the #1 New York Times bestseller Mind HunterLong-held myths defining the sources of and remedies for crime are shattered in this groundbreaking book—and a chilling profile of today’s criminal emerges. In 1984, Stanton Samenow changed the way we think about the workings of the criminal mind, with a revolutionary approach to “habilitation.” In 2014, armed with thirty years of additional knowledge and insight, Samenow explored the subject afresh, explaining criminals’ thought patterns in the new millennium, such as those that lead to domestic violence, internet victimization, and terrorism.Since then the arenas of criminal behavior have expanded even further, demanding this newly updated version, which includes an exploration of social media as a vehicle for criminal conduct, new pharmaceutical influences and the impact of the opioid crisis, recent genetic and biological research into whether some people are “wired” to become criminals, new findings on the effectiveness of cognitive behavioral therapy, and a fresh take on criminal justice reform. Throughout, we learn from Samenow’s five decades of experience how truly vital it is to know who the criminals are and how they think. If equipped with that crucial understanding, we can reach reasonable, compassionate, and effective solutions.From expert witness Dr. Stanton E.

Neurological and psychiatric disorders have long been regarded as fundamentally different, depending on whether they appear to affect the brain or the mind. In reality, the brain and the mind are inseparable. Both types of disorder can affect every aspect of brain function: from perception, action, memory and emotion to empathy, social interaction, attention and consciousness. It is easy to view brain disorders as simply tragic or frightening. However, studying where these functions go wrong provides a window on the workings of the healthy brain, and makes it more likely that scientists and clinicians will be able to develop effective treatments or preventative strategies. As individuals, and as a society, we are also able to better empathise with people with disorders of the mind.Building on his pioneering research, Eric R. Kandel illustrates how breakthrough studies of brain disruptions can deepen our understanding of thought, feeling, behaviour, memory and creativity, and perhaps in the future will transform medical care and lead to the development of a unified theory of mind.

A rich and surprising exploration of the intelligence of bees Most of us are aware of the hive mind—the power of bees as an amazing collective. But do we know how uniquely intelligent bees are as individuals? In The Mind of a Bee, Lars Chittka draws from decades of research, including his own pioneering work, to argue that bees have remarkable cognitive abilities. He shows that they are profoundly smart, have distinct personalities, can recognize flowers and human faces, exhibit basic emotions, count, use simple tools, solve problems, and learn by observing others. They may even possess consciousness.Taking readers deep into the sensory world of bees, Chittka illustrates how bee brains are unparalleled in the animal kingdom in terms of how much sophisticated material is packed into their tiny nervous systems. He looks at their innate behaviors and the ways their evolution as foragers may have contributed to their keen spatial memory. Chittka also examines the psychological differences between bees and the ethical dilemmas that arise in conservation and laboratory settings because bees feel and think. Throughout, he touches on the fascinating history behind the study of bee behavior.Exploring an insect whose sensory experiences rival those of humans, The Mind of a Bee reveals the singular abilities of some of the world’s most incredible creatures.

Economic growth is the religion of the modern world. It promises a solution to the most basic drama of our human existence: wanting what we donâ ™t have. But we live in a time when the frenzied pursuit of economic growth is jeopardizing the planetâ ™s viability and our very survival as a species. How did we get to this point in human history? How did we allow the pursuit of growth to become the apotheosis of human development?To answer these questions, the distinguished economist Daniel Cohen takes us on a journey to understand human desire and the different registers on which it has expressed itself throughout history. He brings his panoramic grasp of the subject to bear on the key stages of social and economic development, from the Neolithic revolution to the digital age. The ideas of the great economists â “ from Adam Smith and Karl Marx to Joseph Schumpeter and John Maynard Keynes â “ are situated in their historical contexts and explained clearly and concisely. The result is a triumph of ambition and brevity: a history of the economy in 100 pages. This book â “ the final work written by Daniel Cohen â “ will appeal to anyone interested in the economy and in the tension between a limited world and unlimited desires that lies at the heart of the great challenges we face today.

An intelligently provocative book about Darwinâ ™s â ˜otherâ ™ theory discusses the curious ways in which sexual attraction has influenced the evolution of the human mind.Many aspects of the human mind remain mysterious. While Darwinian natural selection can explain the evolution of most life on earth, it has never seemed fully adequate to explain the aspects of our minds that seem most uniquely and profoundly human - art, morality, consciousness, creativity and language. Yet these aspects of human nature need not remain evolutionary mysteries. Until fairly recently most biologists have ignored or rejected Darwin s claims for the other great force of evolution - sexual selection through mate choice, which favours traits simply because they prove attractive to the opposite sex. But over recent years biologists have taken up Darwin s insights into how the reproduction of the sexiest is as much a focus of evolution as the survival of the fittest.Witty, powerfully-argued and continually thought-provoking, Miller s cascade of ideas bears comparison with such critical books as Richard Dawkins The Selfish Gene and Steven Pinker s The Language Instinct. It is a landmark in our understanding of our own species.

For decades, the conventional wisdom of neuroscience held that the hardware of the brain is fixed - that we are stuck with what we were born with. But recent pioneering experiments in neuroplasticity reveal that the brain is capable not only of altering its structure but also of generating new neurons, even into old age. The brain can adapt, heal, renew itself after trauma and compensate for disability. In this groundbreaking book, highly respected science writer Sharon Begley documents how this fundamental paradigm shift is transforming both our understanding of the human mind and our approach to deep-seated emotional, cognitive and behavioural problems. These breakthroughs show that it is possible to reset our happiness meter, regain the use of limbs disabled by stroke, train the mind to break cycles of depression and OCD and reverse age-related changes in the brain.

From legendary investor Ray Dalio, author of the international bestseller Principles, who has spent half a century studying global economies and markets, Principles for Dealing with the Changing World Order examines history’s most turbulent economic and political periods to reveal why the times ahead will likely be radically different from those we’ve experienced in our lifetimes - but similar to those that have happened many times before. A few years ago, Ray Dalio noticed a confluence of political and economic conditions he hadn’t encountered before. They included huge debts and zero or near-zero interest rates that led to massive printing of money in the world’s three major reserve currencies; big political and social conflicts within countries, especially the US, due to the largest wealth, political and values disparities in more than 100 years; and the rising of a world power (China) to challenge the existing world power (US) and the existing world order. The last time that this confluence occurred was between 1930 and 1945. This realisation sent Dalio on a search for the repeating patterns and cause/effect relationships underlying all major changes in wealth and power over the last 500 years. In this remarkable and timely addition to his Principles series, Dalio brings readers along for his study of the major empires - including the Dutch, the British and the American - putting into perspective the #39;Big Cycle #39; that has driven the successes and failures of all the world’s major countries throughout history.Dalio reveals the timeless and universal forces behind these shifts and uses them to look into the future, offering practical principles for positioning oneself for what’s ahead.

In The Story of the Human Body, Daniel Lieberman, Professor of human evolutionary biology at Harvard, shows how we need to change our world to fit our hunter-gatherer bodies This ground-breaking book of popular science explores how the way we use our bodies is all wrong. From an evolutionary perspective, if normal is defined as what most people have done for millions of years, then it s normal to walk and run 9 -15 kilometres a day to hunt and gather fresh food which is high in fibre, low in sugar, and barely processed. It s also normal to spend much of your time nursing, napping, making stone tools, and gossiping with a small band of people. Our 21st-century lifestyles, argues Daniel Lieberman, are out of synch with our stone-age bodies. Never have we been so healthy and long-lived - but never, too, have we been so prone to a slew of problems that were, until recently, rare or unknown, from asthma, to diabetes, to - scariest of all - overpopulation.
