If reason is what makes us human, then why do we humans often behave so irrationally? Taking us from desert ants to Aristotle, cognitive psychologists Hugo Mercier and Dan Sperber explore how our 'flawed superpower' of reason works, how it doesn't, and how it evolved to help us develop as social beings. 'Original and provocative ... likely to have a big impact on our understanding of ourselves' Steven Pinker 'Brilliant, elegant and compelling ... turns reason's weaknesses into strengths, arguing that its supposed flaws are actually design features that work remarkably well ... A timely and necessary book' Julian Baggini, Financial Times 'Hugo Mercier and Dan Sperber have solved one of the most important and longstanding puzzles in psychology' Jonathan Haidt 'Reason is more likely to confirm things that we want to be true, or which we already believe. So why does it exist? This book provides the answer' Alex Dean, Prospect

Home remedies have become increasingly popular as the expense and hassle of conventional medicine continues to rise. Today herbs are catching a lot of attention due to their very nature of cure: simple, no side effects, no chemicals, inexpensive, plus the ability of being able to cure yourself. Traditionally, in India, plants with medicinal value were used effectively as self help remedies for managing common ailments, such as to boost your child's immune system, preventing avoiding hair loss, treating persistent acne or dandruff, treating aches, pains or cuts and burns. This book describes the ailments and prescribes various medications based on readily available products. ) #v&spublishers

If there are areas in your life that are rife with stress, unfulfillment and disharmony (whether it be in your relationship, health, career or finances), they are just mirrors indicating the presence of conflicted thoughts within you. It may not be pleasant to bring the light of awareness to the conflicts present in oneself. It feels much easier to just distract oneself from having to face it, and hope that it gets diffused on its own. But the more you try to run away from facing the conflicts in you, the more you will be at the mercy of a fluctuating mindset. If you want to have a harmonious mind, with a stability in your being, it's imperative to dissolve conflicted thoughts within you. Nothing can really change unless a conscious awareness is brought to the fore. The author Dr.Ram Shankar Tiwari brings to the forefront the importance of conscious awareness for an individual through eight chapters namely, Tsunami of Mind, Dimensions of Unhappiness, Structure of Karma, Meditation The Gateway to Freedom, Pathways to Enlightenment, Infinite Energy to the Cosmos, Ascent of Spiritual Evolution, Towards Nirvana to bring clarity, relief and comfort for fulfilling peace of mind so that mind is not distracted from outside influences.

Traditional thinking habits of businesses need to be greatly improved. Analysis and judgement are no longer enough to make important corporate decisions; you can analyse the past but you have to design the future. Corporate decisions depend on values. Disputes and conflicts often arise because of a clash of those values; each party in the dispute wants to pursue its own values, often at the expense of the other party. It is therefore essential that companies, managers and employees have a full understanding of the values of everyone involved to design a way forward that benefits all parties.;From the bestselling author of How to Have a Beautiful Mind and Six Thinking Hats, this groundbreaking book provides a basis for value assessment, an essential tool in decision-making for 21st century corporations. De Bono demonstrates that values come into all areas of thinking, behaviour and decision-making and outlines a framework to focus employees' attention on a variety of values including human values, organisational values, cultural values and perceptual values. By introducing a scoring system to rate different values as strong, sound, weak or remote de Bono helps readers to prioritise and make executive decisions that count.
