"Animals in Translation" is the culmination of Temple Grandin's
extraordinary life's work, drawing upon the latest research, her
distinguished career as an animal scientist and her own experience
of being autistic. With co-author Catherine Johnson, Grandin argues
that while 'normal people' convert experience into words and
abstractions, animals and autistics process the world as sensory
information - specific pictures, sights and sounds. This difference
is the key to understanding how animals see, think and feel. As
much a revelation about life with autism as it is about life with
animals, "Animals in Translation" explores pain, fear, aggression,
love, friendship, communication and learning in a startling book
that will change the way you think about animals.

one. Invaluable, informative, funny and life-changing, 7 SECRETS OF

Beliefism (noun): Discrimination against people who disagree with us.
Do you avoid people who are strongly against immigration? Or strongly for trans rights? Against abortion? For drug legalisation? We might like to think that we're tolerant, but many of us struggle to engage with people whose opinions differ strongly from our own, even if they might have something useful to contribute to the debate. That means we're falling victim to what behavioural scientist Professor Paul Dolan defines as Beliefism: discrimination against those with different beliefs to us.
Drawing on the evidence from across the social sciences, Dolan shows how easy it is for us to divide ourselves into opposing camps - and how harmful that can be. Using the central metaphor of the duck-rabbit illusion - where the same image can be viewed as one animal or the other - the book shows that looking at an issue from only one perspective can lead to bad decisions and unnecessary conflict. The world would be a better place if there was less beliefism and Dolan shows how more tolerance is only possible "by design". We need to embed less beliefism into our organisations and lives and he provides a checklist called EMBRACE to help us do that.
Combining curiosity, irreverence and warmth, Beliefism is a definitive behavioural science take by a leader in his field. Whether it's among friends, at university or at work, being less beliefist will make you a better partner or parent, and a more effective buddy or boss.
