Efekt očakávania


Vedeli ste, že ľudia, ktorí veria, že starnutie prináša múdrosť, žijú dlhšie? Alebo že akceptujúci postoj k jedlu vám pomáha schudnúť? Vesmír vám nedáva to, čo chcete. Nemôžete získať bohatstvo alebo sa vyliečiť z choroby iba silou myslenia. Napriek tomu vaše vlastné očakávania a očakávania iných ovplyvňujú to, aký bude váš život. Predsudky sú ako vzduch, ktorý dýchame – sprevádzajú nás všade, no málokedy si ich uvedomujeme. Môžete predpokladať, že vaše telo je silné alebo že je veľmi náchylné na choroby. Môžete si myslieť, že stres je vždy veľmi škodlivý alebo že pod tlakom zvyšuje kreativitu. Tieto presvedčenia zásadným spôsobom formujú vaše zdravie a pohodu. Naučte sa praktické tipy, ako zmeniť spôsob myslenia tak, aby bol priaznivejší pre zlepšenie vašej všeobecnej pohody, kondície, produktivity a šťastia.

The Intelligence Trap


'A startling, provocative and potently useful book' Sunday Times What blinkered Einstein and Edison? Why did Steve Jobs and NASA make lethal errors of judgement? How might environmental disaster and social inequality be averted? It is time for us to learn a new way of thinking. The twenty-first century presents complex problems that require a wiser way of reasoning, one that recognises our current limitations, tolerates ambiguity and uncertainty, balances multiple perspectives, and bridges diverse areas of expertise. Whatever our age and experience, whether a NASA scientist or a school student, we will benefit from wielding our minds with insight, precision, social sensitivity and humility. In an exhilarating journey through current research, drawing on insight from Socrates to Benjamin Franklin and some of the world's most successful industries, award-winning science journalist David Robson shows how to build a cognitive toolkit to help us all maximise our full potential.

The Intelligence Trap


How was a brilliant physics professor tricked into carrying 2kg of cocaine across the Argentinian border? Why do doctors misdiagnose 10 to 15% of their patients? Why do Nobel Prize winners spread fake news? We assume that smarter people are less prone to error. But greater education and expertise can often amplify our mistakes while rendering us blind to our biases. This is the 'intelligence trap'. Drawing on the latest behavioural science and historical examples from Socrates to Benjamin Franklin, David Robson demonstrates how to apply our intelligence more wisely; identify bias and enhance our 'rationality quotient'; read and regulate our emotions; fine-tune our intuition; navigate ambiguity and uncertainty; and think more flexibly about seemingly intractable problems. The twenty-first century presents us with complex problems that demand a wiser way of thinking. Whether you are a NASA scientist or a school student, The Intelligence Trap offers a new cognitive toolkit to realise your full potential.
