Our thought lives have incredible power over our mental, emotional, and
even physical well-being. In fact, our thoughts can either limit us to
what we believe we can do or release us to experience abilities well
beyond our expectations. When we choose a mindset that extends our
abilities rather than placing limits on ourselves, we will experience
greater intellectual satisfaction, emotional control, and physical
health. The only question is . . . how?
Dr. Leaf shows readers how to combine these powerful tools in order to improve memory, learning, cognitive and intellectual performance, work performance, physical performance, relationships, emotional health, and most importantly a meaningful life well lived. Each of us has significant psychological resources at our fingertips that we can use in order to improve our overall well-being. Dr. Leaf shows us how to harness those resources to unlock our hidden potential.
The Sunday Times bestseller ‘A monumental, gripping book … Outstanding’ Sunday Times Wherever there is human judgement, there is noise. ‘Noise may be the most important book I've read in more than a decade. A genuinely new idea so exceedingly important you will immediately put it into practice. A masterpiece’ Angela Duckworth, author of Grit ‘An absolutely brilliant investigation of a massive societal problem that has been hiding in plain sight’ Steven Levitt, co-author of Freakonomics From the world-leaders in strategic thinking and the multi-million copy bestselling authors of Thinking Fast and Slow and Nudge, the next big book to change the way you think. Imagine that two doctors in the same city give different diagnoses to identical patients – or that two judges in the same court give different sentences to people who have committed matching crimes. Now imagine that the same doctor and the same judge make different decisions depending on whether it is morning or afternoon, or Monday rather than Wednesday, or they haven’t yet had lunch. These are examples of noise: variability in judgements that should be identical. In Noise, Daniel Kahneman, Olivier Sibony and Cass R. Sunstein show how noise produces errors in many fields, including in medicine, law, public health, economic forecasting, forensic science, child protection, creative strategy, performance review and hiring. And although noise can be found wherever people are making judgements and decisions, individuals and organizations alike commonly ignore its impact, at great cost. Packed with new ideas, and drawing on the same kind of sharp analysis and breadth of case study that made Thinking, Fast and Slow and Nudge international bestsellers, Noise explains how and why humans are so susceptible to noise and bias in decision-making. We all make bad judgements more than we think. With a few simple remedies, this groundbreaking book explores what we can do to make better ones.
In the 21st century people live on their wits. What determines how successful they are in whatever they do is their mental ability and, to a large extent, that depends on their memory quality. The author and colleagues of London University discovered that memory quality has even replaced IQ as the dominant predictor of school outcomes. Deriving from such research, this book, now in its third edition, contains a powerful system for enhancing memory quality. Written in plain, concise language, it is simple, effective and comprehensive in its application. It has been tested over and over again on the young, the old, the bright and the not so bright and it can be mastered in just 7 - 10 hours.
Hoe en wat ons dink, het ’n geweldige invloed op ons verstandelike,
emosionele en selfs fisieke welsyn. Om die waarheid te sê, ons denke
kan ons beperk tot dit wat ons glo ons kan doen, of dit kan ons dinge
laat ervaar waarvan ons nooit kon droom nie. Wanneer ons ’n denkwyse
kies wat ons vermoëns verruim, sal ons groter intellektuele
satisfaksie, emosionele beheer en fisieke gesondheid ervaar. Die vraag
is net: Hoe?
Dr. Leaf wys lesers hoe om hierdie kragtige hulpmiddels te kombineer om beter te vaar op die gebied van geheue, leer, intellektuele prestasie, werkprestasie, fisieke prestasie, verhoudings, emosionele gesondheid en – die belangrikste van alles – ’n lewe vol sin en betekenis te ervaar.
Chris Hare 'The Mindboggler' performs as a professional memory man entertainer. On several occasions he has memorised the birthdays of over 300 cruise ship passengers and correctly recalled them instantly. He once recorded the highest viewing figures on Maltese television where he memorised the names of the entire studio audience of over 100 people. The techniques taught in Sensational Memory have been tried and tested under the glare of the spotlight and the watchful eyes of a public audience. Every aspect of memory has been covered from memorising numbers, dates, text, playing cards, names and faces.
