Book excerpt: The Fool’s Guide to “Brain Health” Greetings fool, who did NOT know about the “top mistakes to avoid to keep brain healthy and prevent cognitive impairment”... Do you feel glitchy ever so often in your mental matrix? Meaning do you experience such “symptoms” in your system error logs: finding it harder to think and do everyday tasks that were once easy, forgetting simple things that were once part of your ingrained memory, feeling tired and sleepy for no apparent reason other than just breathing, etc. Then you are experiencing unfortunate occurrences of “cognitive impairment.” Your brain is like an organic supercomputer, and over time, it does begin to wear out with age from all the usage - or non-usage by neglecting to keep your mental hardware in check and in shape. The fact is, we all succumb to some degree of “mental decline,” thus becoming not as sharp as we once were due to our aging brains. Yet, the problem is if the process is progressively premature, happening rapidly sooner, especially if it’s a result of an injury, a degenerative disease, or other underlining health issues. Many times we make the mistake of brushing their symptoms aside, thinking they will naturally get better with rest and the brain will be good as new after waking up the next day. Sadly, that’s not the case here, because like a computer - a simple reboot will not automatically fix the hidden registry errors. However, unlike a computer - you can’t replace your brain whenever you want. That’s why it’s important that you take care of the one you have now. “Brain Health Mistakes” will run through the crucial maintenance that is not to be neglected to keep your brain optimized and performing at its optimum best. Let your chosen fool card guide you through “Brain Health Mistakes”: - Behavioral changes causing mental abilities to slip - Reckless choices putting brain at risk for damage - Substances that may be slowing down your brain - An advancing societal threat to our neuroplasticity - An antiquated art comeback to sharpen the mind - One vital thing needed to regulate neurochemistry - How to not overexert the brain to its breaking point - The easily accessible activities used to train the brain - The three main power-food fuels to amp up your brain - What effects do those around us have on brain structure And there’s a bunch more wisdom from the fool card. Our brains are our bodies’ command center, though we often fail to intervene when its system error messages are transmitted at our way, allowing not only our brains to slowly and surely deteriorate, but also our bodies to lose gradual functions. Well, no more! Regain control and restore your brain and body back to a high-octane state now!

Book excerpt: A doctor removes the normal, healthy side of a patient's brain instead of the malignant tumor. A man whose leg is scheduled for amputation wakes up to find his healthy leg removed. These recent examples are part of a history of medical disasters and embarrassments as old as the profession itself. In Medical Blunders, Robert M. Youngson and Ian Schott have written the definitive account of medical mishap in modern and not-so- modern times. Youngson and Schott cover the gamut of medical accidents, from famous quacks to curious forms of sexual healing, from blunders with the brain to drugs worse than the diseases they are intended to treat. In Medical Blunders, we find shamefully dangerous doctors, human guinea pigs, masturbation treated as a disease requiring treatment, and the legendary surgeon who was himself a craven morphine addict. The resulting picture is one which depicts medical mistakes that are incredible, misguided, arrogant, cruel, or stupendously wrong-headed. Exploring the line between the comical and the tragic, the honest mistake and the intentional crime, Medical Blunders illustrates once and for all that doctors are subject to the same political, social, historical, and personal pressures as the rest of humanity.

Book excerpt: “[This] book will convince you that forgetting helps you remember and distractions can make you more creative.” —Adam Grant, New York Times bestselling author of Originals and Give and Take, and host of TED’s WorkLife podcast “Illuminating, and a joy to read, [Scatterbrain] offers … a refreshingly accessible and relatable take on the brain’s inner workings that should appeal to both science buffs and casual readers.” —Publishers Weekly (Starred Review) In this mind-bending book, an esteemed neuroscientist explains why perfectionism is pointless—and argues that mistakes, missteps, and flaws are the keys to success. Remember that time you screwed up simple math or forgot the name of your favorite song? What if someone told you that such embarrassing “brain farts” are actually secret weapons, proof of your superiority to computers and AI? In Scatterbrain, we learn that boredom awakens the muse, distractions spark creativity, and misjudging time creates valuable memories, among other benefits of our faulty minds. Throughout, award-winning neuroscientist Henning Beck’s hilarious asides and brain-boosting advice make for delightful reading of the most cutting-edge neuroscience our brains will (maybe never) remember.

Minnesota Archive Editions uses digital technology to make long-unavailable books once again accessible, and are published unaltered from the original University of Minnesota Press editions. This is Volume II of the Minnesota Studies in the Philosophy of Science, a series published in cooperation with the Minnesota Center for Philosophy of Science at the University of Minnesota. The series editors are Herbert Feigl and Grover Maxwell, who are also co-editors, with Michael Scriven, of this volume. The ten papers by eleven authors which make up the content of this volume are the result of collaborative research of the Center in philosophical and methodological problems of science in general and psychology in particular. The contributors are Paul Oppenheim, Hilary Putnam, Carl G. Hempel, Michael Scriven, Arthur Pap, Wilfrid Sellars, H. Gavin Alexander, P.F. Strawson, Karl Zener, Herbert Feigl, and Paul E. Meehl. In addition, an extensive discussion of "Internationality and the Mental" by Wilfrid Sellars and Roderick Chisholm is presented in an appendix. In a review of this volume the journal Psychiatric Quarterly commented: "These essays will not prove easy for the layman to read, but he can hardly fail to find his effort rewarded if he is persistent. For the professional behavioral scientist increased awareness and caution-in his use of scientific language, and thinking about scientific theory-should result." One of the papers in this volume, "The 'Mental' and the 'Physical'" by Herbert Feigl, has been published by the University of Minnesota Press with further discussion by Dr. Feigl as a separate book, The "Mental" and the "Physical" The Essay and a Postscript.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Does your impulsive thinking bring only trouble? Do you often grab your head muttering "what was I thinking?" There is a reason: our first, instinctual thoughts and actions are usually irrational and self-sabotaging. The Misguided Mind will tell you why and also how can you correct it. We make thinking errors on a day-to-day basis. They come naturally, thus we don't think that we think in a distorted way, however they can have severe negative effect on our lives. Knowing what they are and how to identify them, we can help ourselves making better choices. In what area of life? All of them: personal relationships, business choices, spending habits, health-related engagements. Our minds don't work the way we think they do. The book presents the scientific background of thinking errors related to behavior, social relations, and memory through the most famous psychology experiments, behavioral economics research, neuropsychology, and the author's own observations. What remains is an entertaining but practical and informative guide to clear your mind. Become less irrational. This book aims to help you think about your thinking and find better solutions to your problems. --Why are first impressions so powerful and permanent? --Why do we rely on the first thought that pops into our mind? --How can certain advertisements make us open our wallet immediately? --How and why does our memory fool us on a daily basis? Again and again, we think we experience and understand the world as it is, but our thoughts are beset by everyday illusions. The Misguided Mind reveals the many ways our intuition can deceive us, why we succumb to these everyday brain tricks and what we can do to inoculate ourselves against their effects. Simple, clear, and always surprising, this indispensable book will change the way you think and transform your decision making. Correct the errors in your thinking habits and resist falling into your mental ambushes. -Why we take bad decisions following the opinion of the masses, -How we underestimate the power of emotions in rational decisions, -Why we need instant confirmation to support our ideas, -How ego distorts the sense of reality? Mental clarity will boost your cognitive performance and smart decision making to heights you didn't expect before. Don't let the irrationalities of your brain sabotage the life you deserve. Make fewer mistakes in your thinking - prevention is easier than correction. Improve your beliefs, social biases, and memory mix-ups by understanding how your brain works and solve your life.
