Así es la puta vida: El libro de ANTI-autoayuda
by Jordi WildEl esperado libro de Jordi Wild, uno de los youtubers más populares de España y creador de The Wild Project, el pódcast más escuchado. Ni eres el centro del universo ni todos tus sueños van a cumplirse. Olvídate de las chorradas de los libros de autoayuda y de los gurús baratos que intentan hacerte creer que «si quieres, puedes»; de los crypto bros que te harán millonario sin trabajar y de los que te dicen que seas tu propio jefe mientras se graban en la piscina de la casa de sus padres. Aquí no encontrarás recetas mágicas ni los cinco pasos que tienes que seguir para SER FELIZ. Eso se lo dejo a los que se quieren aprovechar de ti. En este libro te voy a contar lo que para mí es la vida de verdad, sin edulcorantes ni azúcares añadidos; la jodida (y maravillosa) lucha que tienes que librar cada día para poder disfrutar y realizarte. La vidate dará una buena somanta de hostias, eso es inevitable, pero de ti depende levantarte y seguir guerreando. Vale la pena, te lo aseguro. ASÍ ES LA PUTA VIDA. ESPERO QUE ESTÉS PREPARADO PARA ACEPTARLO.
Convence sin abrir la boca: Claves del lenguaje no verbal para persuadir a cualquier audiencia
by Jordi RecheDescubre las claves del lenguaje no verbal para cautivar y persuadir a cualquier audiencia y en cualquier situación. En el entorno personal y profesional, nuestros gestos, miradas, posturas, sonrisas... dicen más de nosotros que las palabras que pronunciamos. Porque el lenguaje del cuerpo es revelador: cómo nos sentamos, cómo caminamos, cómo saludamos..., todo comunica. Los demás interpretan y recuerdan nuestros mensajes por lo que transmitimos a nivel visual mucho más que por lo que decimos. Pero ¿sabes qué expresas con tu cuerpo? Jordi Reche te descubre los secretos del lenguaje no verbal: qué significa cada gesto, por qué lo haces y cómo interpretarlo tanto en ti mismo como en los demás. Convence sin abrir la boca te proporciona las herramientas para dominar el lenguaje corporal y conectar con tus interlocutores. Aprende a utilizarlas para ser más convincente y persuasivo, transmitir mayor seguridad y confianza, y ganar influencia entre quienes te rodean. En este libro aprenderás: * A comunicar mejor, reforzando tu mensaje hablado con tu gestualidad. * A tener mayor consciencia de tu cuerpo y a utilizarlo para sentirte mejor y para que, quienes te rodean, te vean mejor. * A leer en los gestos de los demás información que han decidido no darte u ocultarte, o simplemente a descifrar que te están mintiendo.* A descubrir que tu poder de persuasión puede aumentar de manera significativa si cuidas tu lenguaje no verbal de líder. * A conocer mejor los mensajes que envían tus fotos de perfil, tus fotos grupales o los vídeos que cuelgas en las redes. * A detectar las emociones reales de una persona, más allá de lo que nos cuente con sus palabras. * A aumentar tu capacidad de seducción y a leer en el cuerpo de las personas con las que te relacionas si estás atrayendo su atención de manera positiva o no. Reseñas:«Con el libro de Jordi puedes aprender tanto a leer a los demás como a mejorar tu comunicación de una forma amena y entretenida.

The Other Side of Normal: How Biology Is Providing the Clues to Unlock the Secrets of Normal and Abnormal Behavior
by Jordan SmollerPsychiatry has ignored the normal. The focus on defining abnormal behavior has obscured what turns out to be a more fundamental question—how does the biology of the brain give rise to the mind, which in turn gives rise to everything we care about: thoughts, feelings, desires, and relationships? In The Other Side of Normal, Harvard psychiatrist Jordan Smoller shows us that understanding what the mind was designed to do in the first place demystifies mental illness and builds a new foundation for defining psychiatric disorders—from autism to depression. Smoller argues there are no bright lines between normal and abnormal. Psychiatric disorders are variations of the same brain systems that evolved to help us solve the challenges of everyday life. How do we become who we are? Smoller explains where our personalities come from, and how the temperaments we had as infants actually stay with us into adulthood. Why do we choose to date, love, and marry the people we do? Why do some of us form healthy relationships while others form unstable ones? Our relationships are shaped by the biology that drives two imperatives: maternal-child bonding and child-parent attachment. Along the way, Smoller tackles an even greater question—what do we mean by "normal"?—as he explores the puzzles behind the epidemics of multiple personalities and koro, the shocking phobia that one's penis is shrinking. He also looks at the controversial history of psychiatric classification and the explosive debates over how much early experiences influence our minds and to what degree genetics affect our temperaments, personalities, and emotional lives. Throughout this examination, Smoller explores the hidden sides of such questions as: How are trust and love rooted in biology? How much does sexual attraction stem from biology rather than culture? And what can the scientific study of normal behavior tell us about what it means to be human?Based on the author's groundbreaking research and personal experiences treating psychological disorders, The Other Side of Normal changes the way we think about the human condition.
The New Childhood: Raising Kids to Thrive in a Connected World

The New Childhood: Raising kids to thrive in a digitally connected world
by Jordan ShapiroIT'S TIME FOR A NEW APPROACH TO SCREEN TIME.Jordan Shapiro believes we need to rethink parental attitudes to technology. There's a damaging orthodoxy that presents screen-time as the ultimate modern parenting evil and the only acceptable response to it is restriction. Shapiro, psychologist, educational pioneer and father of two, draws on cutting-edge research in education, philosophy, neuroscience and psychology to show we've let fear and nostalgia stand in the way of our children's best interests. In his optimistic, inspiring and practical guide to the new, digital frontier of childhood, he reframes gaming, social media and smartphones to offer fresh, evidence-based advice on how to take a more progressive approach.*Winner of the Spirituality & Practice Book Award as one of the 50 Best Spiritual Books of 2018.*'Shapiro successfully transforms our worst fears about screen time into excitement about the potential for redesigning childhood around our latest technologies ...

Ethical Artificial Intelligence from Popular to Cognitive Science: Trust in the Age of Entanglement
by Jordan Richard SchoenherrThis book offers a unique interdisciplinary perspective on the ethics of 'artificial intelligence' – autonomous, intelligent, (and connected) systems, or AISs, applying principles of social cognition to understand the social and ethical issues associated with the creation, adoption, and implementation of AISs. As humans become entangled in sociotechnical systems defined by human and artificial agents, there is a pressing need to understand how trust is created, used, and abused. Compounding the difficulty in answering these questions, stakeholders directly or indirectly affected by these systems differ in their motivations, understanding, and values. This volume provides a comprehensive resource to help stakeholders understand ethical issues of designing and implementing AISs using an ethical sensemaking approach. Starting with the general technical affordances of AIS, Dr. Jordan Richard Schoenherr considers the features of system design relating data integrity, selection and interpretation of algorithms, and the evolution processes that drive AISs innovation as a sociotechnological system. The poles of technophobia (algorithmic aversion) and technophilia (algorithmic preference) in the public perception of AISs are then described and considered against existing evidence, including issues ranging from the displacement and re-education needs of the human workforce, the impact of use of technology on interpersonal accord, and surveillance and cybersecurity. Ethical frameworks that provide tools for evaluating the values and outcomes of AISs are then reviewed, and how they can be aligned with ethical sensemaking processes identified by psychological science is explored. Finally, these disparate threads are brought together in a design framework. Also including sections on policies and guideline, gaming and social media, and Eastern philosophical frameworks, this is fascinating reading for students and academics in psychology, computer science, philosophy, and related areas, as well as professionals such as policy makers and those working with AI systems.

From Self-Care to We-Care: The New Science of Mindful Boundaries and Caring from an Undivided Heart
by Jordan QuagliaLearn to harmonize self-care with caring for others through we-care, a science-based approach designed to enhance personal and social well-being, promote healthy boundaries, and offer a path of healing and transformation.Too many of us are familiar with the burnout that can come from overextending ourselves for others. Self-care is often promoted as the solution to this imbalance, but there are growing concerns that an overemphasis on self-care is exacerbating interpersonal challenges, fraying the fabric of our communities, and diminishing our responsiveness to broader social issues. In a world where time can feel increasingly scarce, we find ourselves in a dilemma: should we prioritize ourselves or others? Yet as psychologist and compassion scientist Jordan Quaglia demonstrates, this choice is based on a false dichotomy. The emerging science and practice of we-care reframes the very concept of care as a social force that includes both self and other. Through personal stories, guided inquiries, practical social exercises, and insights from cutting-edge neuroscience, Quaglia offers a framework and toolset designed to help you find a more balanced way to express your innate sense of compassion. This holistic approach sparks transformative changes across your health, relationships, and work—uplifting yourself and others while supporting a stronger, more connected society for us all.
Deconstructing Happiness: Critical Sociology and the Good Life (Routledge Studies in Social and Political Thought #109)
by Jordan McKenzieThis book offers an original account of the good life in late modernity through a uniquely sociological lens. It considers the various ways that social and cultural factors can encourage or impede genuine efforts to live a good life by deconstructing the concepts of happiness and contentment within cultural narratives of the good life. While empirical studies have dominated the discourse on happiness in recent decades, the emphasis on finding causal and correlational relationships has led to a field of research that arguably lacks a reliable theoretical foundation. Deconstructing Happiness offers a step toward developing that foundation by offering characteristically sociological perspectives on the contemporary fascination with happiness and well-being. In doing so, it seeks to understand the good life as a socially mediated experience rather than a purely personal or individually defined way of living. The outcome is a book on happiness, contentment and the good life that considers the influence of democracy, capitalism and progress, while also focusing on the more theoretical challenges of self-knowledge, reason and interaction.
Your Symphony of Selves: Discover and Understand More of Who We Are
by James Fadiman Jordan GruberWhy you are a different you at different times and how that&’s both normal and healthy • Reveals that each of us is made up of multiple selves, any of which can come to the forefront in different situations • Offers examples of healthy multiple selves from psychology, neuroscience, pop culture, literature, and ancient cultures and traditions • Explores how to harmonize our selves and learn to access whichever one is best for a given situation Offering groundbreaking insight into the dynamic nature of personality, James Fadiman and Jordan Gruber show that each of us is comprised of distinct, autonomous, and inherently valuable &“selves.&” They also show that honoring each of these selves is a key to improved ways of living, loving, and working. Explaining that it is normal to have multiple selves, the authors offer insights into why we all are inconsistent at times, allowing us to become more accepting of the different parts of who we and other people are. They explore, through extensive reviews, how the concept of healthy multiple selves has been supported in science, popular culture, spirituality, philosophy, art, literature, and ancient traditions and cite well-known people, including David Bowie and Beyoncé, who describe accessing another self at a pivotal point in their lives to resolve a pressing challenge. Instead of seeing the existence of many selves as a flaw or pathology, the authors reveal that the healthiest people, mentally and emotionally, are those that have naturally learned to appreciate and work in harmony with their own symphony of selves. They identify &“the Single Self Assumption&” as the prime reason why the benefits of having multiple selves has been ignored. This assumption holds that we each are or ought to be a single consistent self, yet we all recognize, in reality, that we are different in different situations. Offering a pragmatic approach, the authors show how you can prepare for situations by shifting to the appropriate self, rather than being &“switched&” or &“triggered&” into a sub-optimal part of who you are. They also show how recognizing your selves provides increased access to skills, talent, and creativity; enhanced energy; and improved healing and pain management. Appreciating your diverse selves will give you more empathy toward yourself and others. By harmonizing your symphony of selves, you can learn to be &“in the right mind at the right time&” more often.
The Neural Basis of Human Belief Systems (Contemporary Topics in Cognitive Neuroscience)
by Jordan Grafman Frank KruegerIs the everyday understanding of belief susceptible to scientific investigation? Belief is one of the most commonly used, yet unexplained terms in neuroscience. Beliefs can be seen as forms of mental representations and one of the building blocks of our conscious thoughts. This book provides an interdisciplinary overview of what we currently know about the neural basis of human belief systems, and how different belief systems are implemented in the human brain. The chapters in this volume explain how the neural correlates of beliefs mediate a range of explicit and implicit behaviours ranging from moral decision making, to the practice of religion. Drawing inferences from philosophy, psychology, psychiatry, religion, and cognitive neuroscience, the book has important implications for understanding how different belief systems are implemented in the human brain, and outlines the directions which research on the cognitive neuroscience of beliefs should take in the future. The Neural Basis of Human Belief Systems will be of great interest to researchers in the fields of psychology, philosophy, psychiatry, and cognitive neuroscience.

Peterson offered an antidote to the chaos in our lives: eternal truths applied to modern anxieties. His insights have helped millions of readers and resonated powerfully around the world. Now in his long-awaited sequel, Peterson goes further, showing that part of life's meaning comes from reaching out into the domain beyond what we know, and adapting to an ever-transforming world.

Peterson helped millions of readers impose order on the chaos of their lives. Now, in this bold sequel, Peterson delivers twelve more lifesaving principles for resisting the exhausting toll that our desire to order the world inevitably takes. In a time when the human will increasingly imposes itself over every sphere of life—from our social structures to our emotional states—Peterson warns that too much security is dangerous. What&’s more, he offers strategies for overcoming the cultural, scientific, and psychological forces causing us to tend toward tyranny, and teaches us how to rely instead on our instinct to find meaning and purpose, even—and especially—when we find ourselves powerless. While chaos, in excess, threatens us with instability and anxiety, unchecked order can petrify us into submission. Beyond Order provides a call to balance these two fundamental principles of reality itself, and guides us along the straight and narrow path that divides them.

Maps of Meaning: The Architecture of Belief
by Jordan B. Peterson<p>Why would people in different places and times formulate myths and stories with similar symbols and meanings? Are groups of people with different religious or ideological beliefs doomed to eternal conflict? Are the claims of science and religion truly irreconcilable? What might be done to decrease the individual propensity for group-fostered cruelty? <p><i>Maps of Meaning</i> addresses these questions with a provocative new hypothesis that explores the connection between what modern neuropsychology tells us about the brain and what rituals, myths and religious stories have long narrated.
