For as long as we've studied the mind, we've believed that our senses determine what our mind perceives. But as our understanding of neuroscience and psychology has advanced in the last few decades, a new view has emerged that has proven to be both provocative and hugely powerful-that the mind is not a passive observer, but an active predictor. At the forefront of this cognitiv...(展开全部)

一个全新的、颠覆我们对大脑与世界互动方式的理解的绝妙心智理论 自从我们研究人类认知以来，我们就一直相信我们的感官让我们能够直接接触世界。我们看到的就是真实存在的——或者至少人们的想法是这样的。但神经科学和心理学的新发现颠覆了这一假设。如果你的大脑不是被动地感知现实，而是主动地预测现实，会怎么样？ 广受赞誉的哲学家和认知科学家安迪·克拉克揭示了这一具有挑衅性的新理论，即大脑是一个强大的动态预测引擎，调节我们对身体和世界的体验。从平凡的经历到崇高的体验，我们所知道的现实是感官信息和期望的复杂综合。通过探索其迷人的机制以及对我们的生活、心理健康和社会的重大影响，克拉克巧妙地说明了预测性大脑如何塑造所有人类体验。慢性疼痛和精神疾病被证明与我们的潜意识预测的微妙故障有关，这为更有效、更有针对性的治疗指明了方向。在重新审视之下，我们与外部世界之间的界限消失了，表...(展开全部)

A brilliant new theory of the mind that upends our understanding of how the brain interacts with the world “This thoroughly readable book will convince you that the brain and the world are partners in constructing our understanding.” —Sean Carroll, New York Times bestselling author of The Biggest Ideas in the Universe: Space, Time, and Motion For as long as we’ve studied human ...(展开全部)

Neither plant nor animal, it is found throughout the earth, the air and our bodies. It can be microscopic, yet also accounts for the largest organism ever recorded – covering ten square kilometres, weighing 35,000 tons and estimated to be over 2,000 years old. Its ability to digest rock enabled the first life on land, and for 40 million years its towering structures dominated e...(展开全部)

From a New York Times investigative reporter, this “authoritative and devastating account of the impacts of social media” (New York Times Book Review) tracks the high-stakes inside story of how Big Tech’s breakneck race to drive engagement—and profits—at all costs fractured the world. The Chaos Machine is “an essential book for our times” (Ezra Klein). We all have a vague sens...(展开全部)

There is more than one truth about most things. The Internet disseminates knowledge but it also spreads hatred. Eating meat is nutritious but it's also damaging to the environment. When we communicate we naturally select the truths that are most helpful to our agenda. We can select truths constructively to inspire organizations, encourage children, and drive progressive change....(展开全部)

When we think of fungi, we likely think of mushrooms. But mushrooms are only fruiting bodies, analogous to apples on a tree. Most fungi live out of sight, yet make up a massively diverse kingdom of organisms that supports and sustains nearly all living systems. Fungi provide a key to understanding the planet on which we live, and the ways we think, feel, and behave. In Entangle...(展开全部)

You make hundreds of decisions every day, from what to eat for breakfast to how you should invest, and not one of them could be made without the essential component of emotion. It has long been held that thinking and feeling are separate and opposing forces in our behavior. But as best-selling author of Subliminal Leonard Mlodinow tells us, extraordinary advances in psychology ...(展开全部)
