A fresh look at health, habits and longevity from internationally-bestselling author, Nicklas Brendborg - perfect for fans of Ultra-Processed People"Highly readable" DAILY MAIL"Brilliantly unpacks how modern life hijacks our ancient biology." DR JENNA MACCIOCHI"An informative and engaging read that will appeal to anyone with a bad habit - which must widen the net to everyone." IRISH INDEPENDENT"Intriguing ... makes some shocking revelations." SUNDAY TIMES------IT''S NOT YOU. IT''S YOUR BIOLOGY.Modern society is plagued by health epidemics: obesity, record levels of loneliness, increasing mental health problems and various forms of addiction. From the outside, all these issues might seem unrelated. But a single phenomenon actually ties them all together: superstimuli.Superstimuli are exaggerated, unnatural versions of things we have evolved to want and need such as food, sex and social recognition. This hard wired evolutionary response is why we binge on fake ultra-processed food, lust after airbrushed people online, and struggle to stop scrolling on social media, even when it makes us feel bad. Our lack of control isn''t because we are weak. It''s because powerful companies spend billions creating superstimuli that manipulate our biology for profit, leaving us unhealthy and unhappy as a consequence. Super Stimulated shows how we can resist this hijacking of our natural instincts, recognise superstimulus traps, and take control of our bad habits to live longer, healthier lives.

Red Flags is a visual field guide to modern behaviour — part satire, part mirror, and part survival manual. Created by Belgian designer and visual storyteller Bart Kiggen, the book unpacks the characters, archetypes, and micro-cultures that shape our digital and emotional lives. From the Ghoster to the Apex Pretender, from the Brand Messiah to the Yuppie Mephistopheles, each red flag is drawn, described, and decoded with wit and precision. Blending staged photography, cultural critique, and design, Red Flags turns online performance into visual anthropology. It examines how attention became identity and how charisma, care, or confidence can all tip into manipulation. Each portrait is both absurd and familiar, reminding us that the red flags we recognise in others often reflect our own. In this carefully composed and conceptually sharp book, Bart Kiggen uses imagery, humour, and typography to explore the psychology of the age of exposure. Red Flags invites readers to look closer, laugh more softly, and perhaps notice a few signals in themselves before it’s too late.

If yo? e ever hit rock bottom and then completely changed how you live and do things, yo? e gone through an Ego Degradation. If yo? e ever had physical symptoms that you could? explain -?your personality becoming unrecognizable to your friends and family -?yo? e gone through an Ego Degradation. If yo? e ever felt like you were losing your mind but came out more spiritual, more aware, more connected, then yo? e gone through an Ego Degradation. Ego Degradatio? s the 'how'?to awakening, and it is the reason awakening comes with so many physical symptoms: when the mind can no longer take its falsely understood existence and thereby strips itself of programming. Utilizing science and psychology to explain how the brain and society create programming within the ego, as well as philosophy and spirituality to give step-by-step actions on how to overcome emotions and feelings that surface with trauma and triggers, Ego Degradatio? xplains that what is experienced by who you believe yourself to be is, truly, mere perception.

Názov knihy Čo je psychická porucha? sa končí otáznikom a otázniky vyvoláva. Ako si môže klásť takúto otázku psychiater s dlhou klinickou praxou, psychiater, ktorý by mal mať túto otázku dávno jednoznačne zodpovedanú a o tom, čo sú psychické poruchy, by mal učiť iných? Odpoveď je v texte. Dá sa čítať ako celok, dajú sa čítať aj jednotlivé kapitoly, ktoré často nadobúdajú hĺbavý, niekedy esejistický charakter s presahom do filozofie. Text nás zavedie predovšetkým ku Karlovi Jaspersovi a jeho Všeobecnej psychopatológii, knihe, ktorá, aj keď bola publikovaná pred vyše sto rokmi, stále tvorí jeden z koncepčných pilierov psychopatológie. Stretneme sa s problémom subjektivity prežívania psychického života a jeho transformácie v prítomnosti psychickej poruchy. Autor analyzuje a pomerne radikálne sa snaží vyrovnávať s konfliktom medzi zjednodušujúcimi neurobiologickými interpretáciami psychických porúch a podstatou psychického prežívania subjektu, ktoré, napriek tomu, že je zaiste reálne, je z pohľadu tretej osoby vo svojej podstate značne efemérne. Opisuje a interpretuje dôležitosť vzťahu medzi psychiatrom a pacientom pri identifikácii symptómov a tvorbe diagnostických záverov a úlohu empatie (v jej rozšírenom chápaní) v tomto procese. Zamýšľa sa nad koncepciou kategoriálneho a dimenzionálneho charakteru klasifikačných systémov. Ponúka interpretácie a veľmi ilustratívne príklady problému zrozumiteľného a nezrozumiteľného pri diagnostike psychických porúch – vývoja a procesu, porozumenia a vysvetlenia podľa Jaspersovej konceptualizácie týchto pojmov. Okrem toho môže čitateľ čerpať z uvedenia a spracovania množstva komplikovaných konceptov (s ich špecifickou terminológiou) spojených so všeobecnou teóriou poznania. Tieto koncepty sú v jednotlivých kapitolách aplikované na klinickú prax a výskum v psychiatrii. Kniha nie je učebnicou, rozhodne nie je kritikou klinickej psychiatrie, je fundovaným zamýšľaním sa nad podstatnými otázkami nášho odboru a bude iste inšpiráciou pre premýšľavých. V kontexte našej odbornej literatúry je jedinečná a okrem obsahovej hodnoty ponúka premostenie k mnohým významným dielam svetovej odbornej literatúry.

Publikácia Psychopatológia, symptómy psychických porúch ponúka ucelený pohľad na psychopatológiu ako základnú disciplínu psychiatrie. Autor predstavuje jej historické korene, vývoj terminológie a jej prepojenie s kultúrnym dedičstvom antiky, pričom sleduje, ako sa tento odborný jazyk vyvíjal až do súčasnosti pod vplyvom modernej psychiatrie a anglickej odbornej literatúry. Kniha zdôrazňuje význam psychopatológie ako nástroja na porozumenie, opis a klasifikáciu porúch psychických procesov – napriek technologickému pokroku v neurovedách zostáva práve ona základom diagnostiky duševných porúch. Publikácia je určená hlavne študentom medicíny a psychológie, psychiatrom, psychológom a predstaviteľom všetkých pomáhajúcich profesií, ktorí hľadajú prehľadné, systematické a kultúrno-historicky ukotvené zhrnutie poznatkov o psychopatológii.

When a chatbot lies about an airline's bereavement policy, who is to blame? When an AI-generated painting wins a state art competition, what does it mean to be a creator? Our relationship with artificial intelligence is not just technical; it's profoundly human. Smarter Together is your essential guide to the hidden psychology behind the AI revolution. Drawing on insights from neuroscience, behavioral science, and their popular NYU courses, the authors reveal how intelligent systems are designed to mirror our thinking, feeling, and decision-making. Through unforgettable case studies, this book unpacks the new equations of trust, the cognitive biases that shape our choices, and the cultural forces defining AI's promise and challenge. Moving from theory to practice, it provides a vital toolkit for designing and marketing AI products that augment, rather than replace, human intelligence.

A unique look at emophilia--the tendency to fall in love fast, easily, and often--and the profound impact it has on our lives and the lives of those around us. Why do some people fall in love in an instant--again and again--while others take months or even year? cross cultures, the concept of "love at first sight" has captivated us across recorded history. We all seem to know at least one hopeless romantic who falls quickly and easily, and while it's easy to dismiss this, only recently have we begun to study it from a psychological standpoint. In this book, social and personality psychologist Daniel N. Jones explores the fascinating science behind the tendency to fall in love fast, easily, and often. This groundbreaking book introduces emophilia--a powerful but often overlooked personality trait that influences how we connect, commit, and sometimes crash in our romantic lives. It draws upon cutting-edge research to explore topics like why some people are wired for whirlwind romances, risks behind what is known as "emotional promiscuity"--including infidelity and toxic partners--and impacts on emotional wellbeing. With its fresh lens on love, intimacy, and the psychology of connection, this insightful, provocative, and deeply human book, offers a refined understanding of people who fall in love quickly and deeply--and sometimes out of love just as fast.

In A Billion Years of Sex Differences, evolutionary psychologist Steve Stewart-Williams tackles some of science’s most controversial questions: How do men and women differ? Where do the differences come from? And how do they shape modern lif? he result is the most up-to-date, balanced, and engaging account of human sex differences yet written, covering everything from dating and mating to aggression and parenting, from children’s toy preferences and workplace gender gaps to mental health and the politics of equality. Drawing on a century of research - and a billion years of evolution - Stewart-Williams explains why many sex differences appear despite socialization, not because of it; why in our mating and parenting patterns, humans are more like the average bird than the average mammal; and why sex differences are sometimes a sign of societal health rather than injustice. With more than two decades of research in evolutionary psychology and an international reputation in the field, Steve Stewart-Williams is uniquely positioned to challenge prevailing views in this fraught debate. Avoiding the extremes of either overstating or denying the differences, he argues that, rather than trying to make men and women identical, we should strive for a world where bias and barriers are eliminated, and where people are free to be themselves whether they conform to gender norms or defy them.

Women and girls with ADHD are often left feeling misunderstood and inadequately supported by health care. This comes as no surprise when research has historically almost exclusively been conducted on boys and men, leading to a lack of understanding around female specific ADHD challenges.For the first time, this book from two experienced doctors and ADHD experts, connects the latest science on ADHD and the influence of sex hormones, to the everyday lives of women and girls with ADHD. Chapters provide vital knowledge on the ADHD brain and female sexual and reproductive development whilst also introducing five fictional women at different hormonal phases of their lives from puberty through to post-menopause to give insight into the lived experience of ADHD. Readers are also introduced to an ''ADHD 24/7 language'' which provides a tailored approach to self-care for ADHD women and girls, allowing them to better advocate for themselves and enabling those supporting them to understand the challenges they face.Exploring everything from ADHD and common cooccurring conditions like anxiety, eating disorders and PCOS, to hormonal treatments and contraception, this book moves us one step closer to a world where the health and wellbeing of women and girls is prioritised.

The Handbook of Transitions brings together inone book some of the key passages on change and transitions from LouiseMichelle Bomber’s best loved writing, updated for today’s demands anduncertainties. So that when you are thinking about transitions a child or youngperson may be facing, or if you have recognised that a child or young personyou know is generally struggling with transitions at the moment, you’ll readilyfind thoughts and ideas to help you. Themes include the need for a deep sense of felt safety, through accessto consistent, reliable, empathic adults, and a safe base: structure, issuessuch as power, choice and control, timing, transitional objects and rituals,interruptions, moving school, handling exclusions, and much more.  You’ll also find thoughts around what thesepupils need from the adults around them to support them to navigatetransitions. Andrea Perry’s introduction and additional annotationaround Louise’s writing highlights the significance of her often prescientthinking and suggestions in the light of social change over the last decade orso, which have created additional challenges for our already vulnerablechildren and young people.  Indeed, current government policyfocuses strongly on the transition from primary to secondary schoolingemphasizing the need to manage that change empathetically and retain inclusionin mainstream education. For nearly 20 years, Louise Michelle Bomber hasconsistently provided informed, thoughtful and inspiring writing full ofinnovative, practice-evidenced and practical ideas for educators, parents andcarers who face challenges in schools.  Inher many books she has written about transitions in school from many angles,drawing on biology, neuroscience, attachment aware, trauma responsiveapproaches and her extensive frontline experience of working with children andyoung people.   The capacity we develop as children to cope with transitionslays the foundation for our ability to cope with change and transition in the future.  Some children and young people in our schoolstoday find transitions extremely difficult, whether that involves coming intoschool each morning, or even coming into school at all.  In school there are transitions throughoutthe day, different subjects, different people, different styles of learning,different kit needed - together with the huge transition from primary tosecondary.  This transition may be ofparticular concern to families where a child needs specialist provision (SEND),and is not sure what support will be available to them at the next school. A number of childrenand young people struggle with shift from one focus to another: or with beingorganised, with managing uncertainty and unstructured time, with managing largegroups rather than small numbers - so many things to navigate.  If children are already experiencingdifficulties because of relational trauma and losses, and/or because of themany intersectional challenges facing families today, transitions in school cancreate dysregulation and enormous stress. Louise encourages staff to be proactive in supporting them to managetransitions, enabling them to feel safe, empowered and able to make the most ofeverything school offers, as well as creating a healthy template for theirfutures.  This book provides practical, evidence-based help, and hope.

'Swayne deserves to join Oliver Sacks and Henry Marsh on the list of top popular neuroscience writers' - Melanie Reid, The Times 'Beautifully observed, beautifully written . . . an extraordinary journey in science, medicine, and creativity' - Rory Stewart'An incredible voyage of discovery . . . intensely moving and awe-inspiring' - Marina Hyde'Full of detailed reality . . . a tribute to the spirit of people faced with calamity' - Literary Review'In How to Use a Fork, the beautiful science of brain plasticity meets remarkable human stories of survival and recovery. We discover the woman who thought her arm was a baby, the man who saw mannequins peering at him through the dark, and the patient who found his way back to human interaction through music. As a medical student, Orlando Swayne was taught that a broken brain doesn’t mend. But as a junior doctor, he began to meet patients for whom this was clearly not the case. Intrigued by what he saw, he delved deep into the emerging neuroscience of brain reorganisation, and discovered that over time brain tissue creates new networks and regenerates. Developments in neurology continue to reveal new capabilities that allow functions we thought to be lost to be restored. The key to recovery, a return to some semblance of our previous selves after brain injury, lies in neurorehabilitation: painstaking work that rebuilds shattered lives. Irresistible to anyone who is curious about the mysteries of the brain, How to Use a Fork is a fascinating journey into the outer reaches of human experience.

As learning is the purpose of teaching, learning theory ought to provide a strong theoretical basis for pedagogical practice. But learning theorists do not speak with one voice, and education has struggled for generations with multiple learning theories developed across the various branches of psychology. Looking back at this history reveals a hidden imperative to characterize learning as a unified construct – a drive that has blinded us to the simplest and most obvious solution to the problem of multiple learning theories. That solution is to recruit separate theorizations of learning to the long-established educational goals of teaching skills, teaching concepts, and teaching cultural practices. Employing this strategy, Genres of Teaching delivers a stable and cumulative knowledge base for teaching.
