In this startling study of human emotion, Dacher Keltner investigates an unanswered question of human evolution: If humans are hardwired to lead lives that are "nasty, brutish, and short," why have we evolved with positive emotions like gratitude, amusement, awe, and compassion that promote ethical action and cooperative societies? Born to Be Good takes us on a journey through scientific discovery, personal narrative, and Eastern philosophy.

The iron in your blood was forged in the nuclear furnace of a dying star. The gold in your jewelry was born in the collision of neutron stars so violent it sent ripples through spacetime itself. The carbon in your DNA survived a stellar explosion and a billion-year journey through space before becoming part of you. Born from Catastrophe reveals the extraordinary truth behind these statements: we are not just made of stardust, but of stardust created through the most violent events in the universe.

More than half a billion years ago, our world was completely covered by glaciers, a "Snowball Earth" that persisted for millions of years. Incredibly, this unimaginable cold led to the remarkable diversification of life on earth known as the Cambrian explosion. With a geologist's eye and a knack for storytelling, Graham Shields explores when and how such inhospitable conditions enabled animals to evolve, radiate, and diversify into our earliest ancestors.

Why are we the way we are? Why do some of us find it impossible to calm a quick temper or to shake anxiety?

No more. In Natural Born Learners, Alex Beard takes us on a dazzling tour of the future of learning.

Cette concentration se mesure en « Parties Par Million ». Depuis la révolution industrielle, ce taux ne cesse d’augmenter, de plus en plus vite contribuant fortement au dérèglement climatique en cours. En 2022, le taux de concentration...

This audiobook is for those people who are fed up with "horoscopism," who are tired of listening to nonsense about themselves and other people from psychologists or their "all-knowing" relatives, friends, and acquaintances. It will help you save not just some time in your life, but your whole life, because otherwise you will spend your entire life on something that is impossible. And, it is impossible not because you are idiots, but because Homo Sapiens cannot fully know themselves and other people without an external (and most importantly, objective) source.
