DER HABENULA-CODE: IMMUN WERDEN GEGEN MISSERFOLGE In "Unstoppable Brain" führt die Verhaltensforscherin Dr. Kyra Bobinet in eines der faszinierendsten, bislang kaum bekannten Hirnareale ein: die Habenula - ein Schalter in unserem Gehirn, der Motivation ausknipsen kann, wenn wir etwas als Scheitern ("gescheitert") bewerten. Doch genau das lässt sich ändern. Bobinet zeigt, wie wir durch einen Perspektivwechsel, kreative Lösungsansätze und die Kraft der Iteration neue Wege einschlagen - und dabei selbst Rückschläge als wichtigen Teil des Prozesses begreifen können. Das Wissen um die Habenula und ihre Funktionsweise wirkt sich auf viele wichtige Bereiche unseres Lebens aus: Gesundheit, Stimmung/Stressbewältigung, Gewichtsmanagement/Abnehmen, Berufsleben, persönliche Beziehungen und vieles mehr. Wissenschaftlich fundiert, verständlich erklärt und berührend lebensnah ist dieses Buch eine Offenbarung - endlich gelingen dauerhafte, positive Veränderungen! Denn wer nicht aufgibt, kann nicht scheitern. Und wer iteriert, ist unaufhaltbar. "Für so viele von uns, die sich vielleicht fragen, warum sie emotional, körperlich oder seelisch feststecken - Dr. Bobinets 'Unstoppable Brain' liefert den Schlüssel. Praxisnah, verständlich und wichtig - dieses Buch ist ein echtes Juwel." DR. MAYIM BIALIK, Neurowissenschaftlerin und Schauspielerin (bekannt als "Dr. Amy Farrah Fowler" aus "The Big Bang Theory") "In 'Unstoppable Brain' verschmilzt Dr. Kyra Bobinet Bahnbrechendes aus den Neurowissenschaften mit brauchbaren Erkenntnissen und bietet damit einen revolutionären Ansatz für Verhaltensänderungen. (...) Eine unverzichtbare Lektüre für Fachleute im Gesundheitswesen, Pädagogen und alle, die sich danach sehnen, ihr unstoppable brain zu befreien." LARRY CHU, Professor der Stanford School of Medicine "Dr. Bobinets Schreibstil ist klar und präzise, sodass es leichtfällt, die Konzepte zu verstehen und auf sein eigenes Leben anzuwenden. Sie reduziert alles ganz wunderbar auf eine Reihe machbarer Schritte, die jedem dabei helfen werden, seine Ziele zu erreichen. So ist 'Unstoppable Brain' ein Muss für alle, die ein gesünderes und erfüllteres Leben führen möchten." JOSEPH KVEDAR, Professor der Harvard Medical School "Dieses bahnbrechende Buch untersucht die Biologie des Scheiterns und kann dabei helfen, Scham und Schuldgefühle einzuordnen, die unweigerlich auftreten, wenn wir mal wieder feststecken. Mehr noch, es gibt uns einen Plan an die Hand, wie wir anders mit uns umgehen können, um dauerhaft Erfolg zu haben. Dr. Bobinet verwebt die Wissenschaft kunstvoll zu einem Leitfaden, der uns hilft, besser zu verstehen, wie unser Gehirn gegen uns arbeiten kann, und wie wir uns mit ihm verbünden können, um ein gutes Leben zu führen." SUSAN WOLVER, Außerordentliche Professorin für innere Medizin "Treffend, fesselnd und eindringlich!

The New York Times bestselling author of Darwin’s Doubt, Stephen Meyer, presents groundbreaking scientific evidence of the existence of God, based on breakthroughs in physics, cosmology, and biology. Beginning in the late 19th century, many intellectuals influenced by scientific materialism began to insist that scientific knowledge conflicts with traditional theistic belief—that science and belief in God are "at war." Philosopher of science Stephen Meyer challenges this view by examining three scientific discoveries with decidedly theistic implications. Building on the case for the intelligent design of life that he developed in Signature in the Cell and Darwin’s Doubt, Meyer demonstrates how discoveries in cosmology and physics coupled with those in modern biology help to establish the identity of the designing intelligence behind life and the universe. Meyer argues that theism—with its affirmation of a transcendent, intelligent and active creator—best explains the evidence we have concerning biological and cosmological origins. Previously Meyer refrained from attempting to answer questions about "who" might have designed life. Now, in a powerful case for the God hypothesis, he provides an evidence-based answer to perhaps the ultimate mystery of the universe. In so doing, he reveals a stunning conclusion: the data support not just the existence of an intelligent designer of some kind—but the existence of a personal God. Three Scientific Discoveries: Meyer reveals how breakthroughs in cosmology, physics, and biology point directly toward a transcendent, intelligent creator. The Big Bang Theory: Uncover the theistic implications of a universe with a definite beginning, a discovery that challenges the core assumptions of a purely materialistic worldview. Cosmological Fine-Tuning: Explore the breathtaking precision of the universe’s initial conditions and physical constants, which appear exquisitely set from the start to allow for life. The DNA Enigma: Delve into the origin of the digital code within our cells, a profound mystery that the case for intelligent design directly addresses.

A New York Times bestseller! Celebrated actor, personality, and all-around nerd, Wil Wheaton updates his memoir of collected blog posts with all new material and annotations as he reexamines one of the most interesting lives in Hollywood and fandom--and now for the first time in audio, narrated by Wil himself! From starring in Stand by Me to playing Wesley Crusher on Star Trek: The Next Generation to playing himself, in his second (third?) iconic role of Evil Wil Wheaton in The Big Bang Theory, to becoming a social media supernova, Wil Wheaton has charted a career course unlike anyone else, and has emerged as one of the most popular and well respected names in science fiction, fantasy and pop culture. Back in 2001, Wil began blogging on wilwheaton.net. Believing himself to have fallen victim to the curse of the child actor, Wil felt relegated to the convention circuit, and didn’t expect many would want to read about his random experiences and personal philosophies. Yet, much to his surprise, people were reading. He still blogs, and now has an enormous following on social media with well over 3 million followers. In Still Just a Geek, Wil revisits his 2004 collection of blog posts, Just a Geek, filled with insightful and often laugh-out-loud annotated comments, additional later writings, and all new material written for this publication. The result is an incredibly raw and honest memoir, in which Wil opens up about his life, about falling in love, about coming to grips with his past work, choices, and family, and finding fulfillment in the new phases of his career. From his times on the Enterprise to his struggles with depression to his starting a family and finding his passion--writing--Wil Wheaton is someone whose life is both a cautionary tale and a story of finding one’s true purpose that should resonate with fans and aspiring artists alike.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • From the author of The Power of Habit, a fascinating exploration of what makes conversations work—and how we can all learn to be supercommunicators at work and in life “A winning combination of stories, studies, and guidance that might well transform the worst communicators you know into some of the best.”—Adam Grant, author of Think Again and Hidden Potential ONE OF NPR’S BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR • FINALIST FOR THE SABEW BEST IN BUSINESS BOOK AWARD Come inside a jury room as one juror leads a starkly divided room to consensus. Join a young CIA officer as he recruits a reluctant foreign agent. And sit with an accomplished surgeon as he tries, and fails, to convince yet another cancer patient to opt for the less risky course of treatment. In Supercommunicators, Charles Duhigg blends deep research and his trademark storytelling skills to show how we can all learn to identify and leverage the hidden layers that lurk beneath every conversation. Communication is a superpower and the best communicators understand that whenever we speak, we’re actually participating in one of three conversations: practical ( What’s this really about?), emotional ( How do we feel?), and social ( Who are we?). If you don’t know what kind of conversation you’re having, you’re unlikely to connect. Supercommunicators know the importance of recognizing—and then matching—each kind of conversation, and how to hear the complex emotions, subtle negotiations, and deeply held beliefs that color so much of what we say and how we listen. Our experiences, our values, our emotional lives—and how we see ourselves, and others—shape every discussion, from who will pick up the kids to how we want to be treated at work. In this book, you will learn why some people are able to make themselves heard, and to hear others, so clearly. With his storytelling that takes us from the writers’ room of The Big Bang Theory to the couches of leading marriage counselors, Duhigg shows readers how to recognize these three conversations—and teaches us the tips and skills we need to navigate them more successfully. In the end, he delivers a simple but powerful lesson: With the right tools, we can connect with anyone.

One of the Best Holy Quran Translations Currently Available. This is a simpler, clearer and easier to read translation than many of the popular ones which proceeded it. Saheeh International has reviewed each verse in Arabic with reference to several works of Arabic tafseer and grammar, choosing contemporary wording and carefully placing them in order similar to that of the original Arabic whenever possible. The Qur'an is the word of the Ever-living God, It has been sent down to guide humanity for all times to come. No book can be like it. As you come to the Qur'an, God speaks to you. To read the Qur'an is to hear Him, converse with him and walk in his ways. Is is the encounter of life with the Life-giver. 'God - there is no deity except Him, the Ever-living, the Sustainer of existence. He has sent down upon you, [O Muhammad], the book in truth ....as guidance for the people' [Quran 3:2-3]'No person can afford to be ignorant of the Qur'an, for it is the constitution revealed by God (Allah) to regulate and govern human life. It speaks with perfect knowledge of the Creator about his creation. It exposes the truth. It contains important information about human destiny and that of the individual. It educates and raises men to the highest moral, intellectual and social level when they strive to comprehend it and apply its teachings to life.'

In the Beginning when nothing was created yet, God created NUMBER ... " Classical Occultism - i.e. Spiritual Tradition - very often rests on imitation of old usages and forgotten rituals - or on texts and images the inner (i.e. esoteric) content of which is recognized only by Initiates. This most typically applies for old sacred scriptures where cosmic and supracosmic processes are commented on under the veils of ciphers, myths, pseudo-history, and tales about countries or family clans. Creation myths of all cultures throughout space and time most clearly illustrate this fact: They report how a God - or a community of gods - conjure "out of nothing" a Universe along with its physical and spiritual processes that are, usually, consciously perceived again only by Initiates. Modern Science since the century of "Enlightenment" has always tried to supplant such myths by so-called "objective" discoveries and "facts". However, it has become clear, more and more, that those "scientific" views are just another myth - but which remains blind to the essence of things, namely: to what we call Spirit, Light and Life. The popular myth of the "Big Bang" - so typical for noise and aggression in our modern world - is the grossest cankerous outgrowth thereof. The present book brings a Genesis in twelve Theses, in a modern language on the basis of the simplest symbols ever. Its elucidations by P. Martin, occasionally using some neologisms for relations never described before, include the paradigmata of oldest myths, but in the meantime formulate a consequent synthesis of modern Physics and classic spirituality: It also shows where the fundamental Hermetic laws come from; how divine idea-forms grow into material realities; how the Kingdoms of Nature came forth - and the principles of the spiritual Path of Transfiguration leading to the redemption of Humanity. Besides the Aquarius Genesis this book contains two tales in a typical mythic style, making visible the inner Plan of the Universe, along with a scenic dialogue and a classic philosophical treatise: "About the Essence of Being" is a modern theory of ideas which - authored 60 years ago - already achieves to reduce all processes to vibration cycles, and to Energy. Numerous pictures, some of them full-page, and in-depth Notes explaining further the text and images complete this book.
