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?
Backed by up-to-date scientific research and biblical insight, Dr.
Caroline Leaf empowers readers to take control of their thoughts in
order to take control of their lives. In this practical book, readers
will learn to use
- The 5-step Switch on Your Brain Learning Program, to build
memory and learn effectively
- The Gift Profile, to discover the unique way they process
information
- The Mindfulness Guide, to optimize their thought life and
find their inner resilience
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.
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. Caroline Leaf gebruik wetenskaplike navorsing en Bybelse insig om
lesers te inspireer om beheer te neem van hulle gedagtes sodat hulle
sodoende beheer kan neem van hulle lewens. Hierdie praktiese boek bevat
die volgende:
- ’n 5-stap-leerprogram om geheue te verbeter en effektief te
leer
- ’n profiel om die unieke manier te ontdek waarop elke leser
inligting verwerk
- ’n gids om hulle gedagtewêreld optimaal te leer benut
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.

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.
