Описание: Renowned psychologists describe the five most useful insights from social psychology that will help make you wise: wise about why we behave the way we do, and wise about how to use that knowledge to understand others and change ourselves for the better. When faced with a challenge, we often turn to those we trust for words of wisdom. Friends, relatives, and colleagues: someone with the best advice about how to boost sales, the most useful insights into raising children, or the sharpest take on a political issue. In "The Wisest One in the Room," renowned social psychologists Thomas Gilovich and Lee Ross ask: Why? What do these people know? What are the foundations of their wisdom? And, as professors and researchers who specialize in the study of human behavior, they wonder: What general principles of human psychology are they drawing on to reach these conclusions? They find that wisdom, unlike intelligence, demands some insight into people their hopes, fears, passions, and drives. It s true for the executive running a Fortune 500 company, the candidate seeking public office, the artist trying to create work that will speak to the ages, or the single parent trying to get a child through the tumultuous adolescent years. To be wise, they discover, one must be psych-wise when dealing with everyday challenges. In "The Wisest One in the Room" Gilovich and Ross show that to answer any kind of behavioral question, it is essential to understand the details especially the hidden and subtle details of the situational forces acting upon us. Understanding these forces is the key to becoming wiser in the way we understand the people and events we encounter, and wiser in the way we deal with the challenges that are sure to come our way. With the lessons gleaned here, you can learn the key to becoming the wisest one in the room. "

A fascinating exploration of how insights from computer algorithms can be applied to our everyday lives, helping to solve common decision-making problems and illuminate the workings of the human mind
All our lives are constrained by limited space and time, limits that give rise to a particular set of problems. What should we do, or leave undone, in a day or a lifetime? How much messiness should we accept? What balance of new activities and familiar favorites is the most fulfilling? These may seem like uniquely human quandaries, but they are not: computers, too, face the same constraints, so computer scientists have been grappling with their version of such issues for decades. And the solutions they've found have much to teach us.
In a dazzlingly interdisciplinary work, acclaimed author Brian Christian and cognitive scientist Tom Griffiths show how the algorithms used by computers can also untangle very human questions. They explain how to have better hunches and when to leave things to chance, how to deal with overwhelming choices and how best to connect with others. From finding a spouse to finding a parking spot, from organizing one's inbox to understanding the workings of memory, "Algorithms to Live By" transforms the wisdom of computer science into strategies for human living.

Описание:
It was every immigrant's dream.
Within ten years of his 1906 arrival in the U.S., Henry Lehrman had achieved both fame and fortune in the fledgling film industry. Widely acknowledged as the creator of frenetic comedies of unusual artistry and unparalleled mayhem, Lehrman's guidance and creativity ushered newcomer Charles Chaplin to international popularity at Mack Sennett's Keystone. Roscoe Arbuckle, Ford Sterling, and numerous others benefited immeasurably from his direction as well, at Keystone and later at Lehrman's own Sterling, L-Ko, and Fox Sunshine companies. By 1919, Lehrman's meteoric rise led to the realization of his dreams: full independence and artistic control with his Henry Lehrman Comedies.
And then it all collapsed. Lehrman's career hit the skids with the studio's failure, followed by his involvement in the era's most notorious scandal: the alleged rape and subsequent death of Lehrman's fianc , Virginia Rappe, at the hands of his friend Arbuckle.
MR. SUICIDE: HENRY "PATHE" LEHRMAN AND THE BIRTH OF SILENT COMEDY is a riveting cautionary tale for all aspiring artists whose dreams exceed their grasp.

Описание: This is not a facsimile reproduction nor is it the Jefferson Bible that you may be familiar with. Originally edited by Henry E. Jackson in 1923 and titled "The Jefferson Bible - The Undiscovered Teachings of Jesus," he instead interpreted the version of Richard Francis Weymouth's - Jefferson's Bible translation in the form of prose. It is quite simply a hand book on applicable common sense governance for individuals as well as government and world affairs. Jackson's contribution to the Weymouth translation is in fact a book in and of itself. In finding Jackson's work fascinating and after subsequent research on his background, we find there is very little that sheds any light on Jackson. The miniscule amount that is available explains how and why Jackson was able to elucidate the selections in the manner he did, truly making this the "Undiscovered Teachings of Jesus." Henry E. Jackson was an American clergyman, born on February 21, 1869 in Chester County, PA., the son of Oliver Cloud and Margaret (Hamilton) Jackson. He was Educated at York (Pennsylvania) Collegiate Institute, 1889 - 1890, a Bachelor of Arts, Lafayette College - 1893, as well as an M.A. from Princeton in 1896, finally Graduating Princeton Theological Seminary, 1896. He was an Ordained a Presbyterian minister in 1896. He was the founder and pastor of the Presbyterian Church, Swarthmore, PA., from 1896 - 1907. He was Pastor of Christian Union Congressional Church, Upper Montclair, N.J. from 1907 - 1915. Interestingly, Jackson was a special lecturer to the students of China, under appointment of a committee of Princeton University, 1915. Further, he was a Special Agent in community organization for the United States Bureau of Education, Washington, D.C. from 1916-1920. Of note, there was one book review article written in the year the book was originally published which follows: The hard-shelled mind of the eighteenth century, that only a heavy hammer and a stone could open, speaks in this book to the paper-shelled twentieth that can be split by the pressure of a child's two thumbs. To read the Thomas Jefferson Bible is an excursion in a closed carriage, sedately driven, to the house of a Roman tetrarch in the center of ancient Jerusalem. Outside the faiths swarm and clash and spit venom, embrace and propagate, gnaw at the ankles of the carpenter's son. Inside the muting walls the cool steel threads of logic spin from the legal lips. We listen to the last word, bow our respect, decline in moderation the closed carriage, and walk home through the clamorous streets, disarmed to fragrant partialities. For, with all respect due to the competent Jefferson, we prefer our Christ with to without, that is, decorated with miracle, like Dionysus garlanded with vine leaves, to the bones cleaned by acid and carbolic soap. Miracle does not decay except in closed minds. The mystic lover opens his veins and lets the sap fill the depleted channels, and green leaves shoot forth. There is a better wisdom in the perfumed chat between Jesus and the woman of Samaria, omitted in the Jefferson anthology, than in all his odorless selections lumped together. Jefferson eliminates, and misses, the essential element of Christianity, that it is the story of a failure, or, as a disappointing contemporary has phrased it, peace without victory. 'Christianity is and has always been unpopular because the world prefers success to failure, riches to poverty, pleasure to pain. It has but acquired a certain sanction from the defeated majority. When the world is turned topsy-turvy Christianity will come into its universal rule. Nevertheless the personality of the Christ is the yeast that defies the Volstead Act and every other form of benzoate, a chemical that would, if universally administered, render the world eternally conscious of the distinction between success and failure.
