      Jak by na vás asi zapůsobil Andělský koktejl namíchaný z dopaminu, serotoninu a endorfinů? Nebo byste si raději dali Ďábelský koktejl, jehož hlavní složkou je kortizol? Kniha vás seznámí s tím, jak na lidský organismus působí šest klíčových látek – dopamin, oxytocin, serotonin, kortizol, endorfin a testosteron – neurotransmitery, které si lidský organismus dokáže sám vyrábět. Tato kniha vám ukáže, jak je možné ovládat fungování chemické továrny vašeho vlastního těla i jak se naučit využívat plný potenciál své mysli a stát se tak tou nejlepší verzí sebe samého. Anebo taky ne. David JP Phillips se celý svůj dospělý život věnoval studiu a přednášení o komunikaci založené na poznatcích z neurovědy, biologie a psychologie. Spolu se svým výzkumným týmem identifikoval 110 různých způsobů, kterými spolu lidé navzájem komunikují. Ale až poté, co si prošel dlouhým obdobím depresí, vyvinul svoji metodu sebe-řízení, založenou na pochopení schopnosti člověka komunikovat sám se sebou. Jeho 3 přednášky na TEDx patří s 10 miliony zhlédnutí k těm nejúspěšnějším. Kniha vyšla nejdříve ve švédštině, ale autorská práva na její překlad byla během pěti měsíců prodána do více jak dvaceti zemí.

    • Order out of Chaos

      • 240 páginas

      Order out of Chaos explains why Iraqis turned to the mosque after state collapse. In 2003, the US-led invasion of Iraq destroyed the Bathist state. Yet, despite this, the citizens of Basra established predictable routines of daily life and social order as the familiar and customary structures of state-imposed order collapsed. What enabled individuals in Basra to work together to produce order amid anarchy? The answer: the Friday mosque. A week after the regime fell, Shii imams introduced Friday congregational prayers and associated sermons for the first time in most places since the 1950s. These sermons facilitated the spread of common knowledge and coordination, both locally and nationally, and contributed to the emergence of a relatively cohesive imagined community of Iraqi Shia that came to dominate Iraq's political order. Combining rational choice approaches, ethnographic understanding, and GIS analysis, David Patel reveals the interconnectedness of the enduring problem of how societies create social order in a stateless environment, the origins and limits of political authority and leadership, and the social and political salience of collective identity.
