Download or read book Self-Insight written by David Dunning and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2012-10-12 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: People base thousands of choices across a lifetime on the views they hold of their skill and moral character, yet a growing body of research in psychology shows that such self-views are often misguided or misinformed. Anyone who has dealt with others in the classroom, in the workplace, in the medical office, or on the therapist’s couch has probably experienced people whose opinions of themselves depart from the objectively possible. This book outlines some of the common errors that people make when they evaluate themselves. It also describes the many psychological barriers - some that people build by their own hand - that prevent individuals from achieving self-insight about their ability and character. The first section of the book focuses on mistaken views of competence, and explores why people often remain blissfully unaware of their incompetence and personality flaws. The second section focuses on faulty views of character, and explores why people tend to perceive they are more unique and special than they really are, why people tend to possess inflated opinions of their moral fiber that are not matched by their deeds, and why people fail to anticipate the impact that emotions have on their choices and actions. The book will be of great interest to students and researchers in social, personality, and cognitive psychology, but, through the accessibility of its writing style, it will also appeal to those outside of academic psychology with an interest in the psychological processes that lead to our self-insight.

Download or read book Know Thyself written by Mitchell S. Green and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-11-28 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Know Thyself: The Value and Limits of Self-Knowledge takes the reader on tour of the nature, value, and limits of self-knowledge. Mitchell S. Green calls on classical sources like Plato and Descartes, 20th-century thinkers like Freud, recent developments in neuroscience and experimental psychology, and even Buddhist philosophy to explore topics at the heart of who we are. The result is an unvarnished look at both the achievements and drawbacks of the many attempts to better know one’s own self. Key topics in this volume include: Knowledge – what it means to know, the link between wisdom and knowledge, and the value of living an "examined life" Personal identity – questions of dualism (the idea that our mind is not only our brain), bodily continuity, and personhood The unconscious — including the kind posited by psychoanalysis as well as the form proposed by recent research on the so-called adaptive unconscious Free will – if we have it, and the recent arguments from neuroscience challenging it Self-misleading – the ways we willfully deceive ourselves, and how this relates to empathy, peer disagreement, implicit bias, and intellectual humility Experimental psychology – considerations on the automaticity of emotion and other cognitive processes, and how they shape us This book is designed to be used in conjunction with the free ‘Know Thyself’ MOOC (massive open online course) created through collaboration of the University of Connecticut's Project on Humility and Conviction in Public Life, and the University of Edinburgh’s Eidyn research centre, and hosted on the Coursera platform (https://www.coursera.org/learn/know-thyself). The book is also suitable as a text for interdisciplinary courses in the philosophy of mind or self-knowledge, and is highly recommended for anyone looking for a short overview of this fascinating topic.

Book Synopsis The Heart of the Dragon by : Bonny Smith
Download or read book The Heart of the Dragon written by Bonny Smith and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-11-17 with total page 568 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Heart of the Dragon is the story of Eleanor and Victoria Robinson, a mother and her young daughter, two Americans vacationing in Hong Kong. It is a harrowing tale of forced abduction and sexual slavery. The two women are kidnapped by a corrupt customs official and sold to an evil doctor, through whose clinic pass hundreds of trafficked women and children each year. Juxtaposed against the horrible plight of Eleanor and Victoria are the desperate efforts of two Interpol agents, Gabriel Benson and Nasih Kubasi, who struggle against a closing window of time to interpret a handful enigmatic clues as to what has become of the two women. A mysterious coded list of possible transfer points and a list of Swiss bank accounts are all the Interpol agents and the parade of local detectives, criminologists and crime fighters around the globe have to aid them in their desperate attempt to rescue the two women. Gabe and Nasih always seem to be one step behind in their frantic effort to rescue Eleanor and Victoria from the black world of Human Trafficking and the Global Sex Trade. From Washington DC and Hong Kong, the story wends its way through China, Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia, India, Egypt, and finally, to its heartbreaking climax in Morocco. In The Heart of the Dragon, two lives hang in the balance and Gabe and Nasih cannot afford to make any mistakes. This compelling novel of international intrigue brings to vivid life the dark underworld of Human Trafficking, Black Market Organ Trafficking, and White Slavery. Although The Heart of the Dragon is a work of fiction, it is based on contemporary crimes that are very real and that, unfortunately, happen every day all over the world. The reader cannot fail to be moved by the sheer misery engendered by these crimes against humanity.

Book Synopsis Be True to Yourself by : Matt Fuller
Download or read book Be True to Yourself written by Matt Fuller and published by The Good Book Company. This book was released on 2020-01-01 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hear what the Bible says about how to be true to yourself. Our culture tells us that the way to be happy is to "be true to yourself". It’s posted on social media, promoted in adverts, taught in schools and, even, expressed in churches. But what does that mean, and does it actually work? Matt Fuller explores how true happiness, wholeness and freedom can be found not by turning inwards and listening to our fluctuating feelings, but by listening to our creator and allowing ourselves to be shaped by who the Bible says we are. In the process, this book draws on a broad range of fascinating research and examples to give us a fresh biblical take on some of today's biggest hot-button issues. By cutting through the confusion and showing us what the Bible says, this is a book to help every Christian live with confidence in today's culture.

Book Synopsis With Thine Own Eyes by : Ronald Tomanio
Download or read book With Thine Own Eyes written by Ronald Tomanio and published by George Ronald Publisher Limited. This book was released on 2015-09-07 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this wonderfully practical and human book, we are invited to turn our attention towards investigating our spiritual reality. Ronald Tomanio, Diane Iverson and Phyllis Ring describe how that experience is met and encountered and why it is indescribably fulfilling - the very purpose for which we were created. Drawing on a letter of the Universal House of Justice of 19 November 1974 that provides a possible sequence that such an investigation of reality might follow, the authors explore the process - and pitfalls - that we can encounter along the way. Some of the steps identified by the authors that can guide the soul safely along the road of development include: * setting aside blind imitation of the past * learning to build the good rather than fighting evil * choosing acts of service commensurate with our spiritual understanding * listening carefully to our intuitive voice * knowing our purpose * regarding our fears as illusory and * acquiring a sin-covering eye.

Download or read book Authentic written by Stephen Joseph and published by Piatkus. This book was released on 2019-12-10 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The hunger for authenticity guides us throughout our lives. People strive for joined-up living, where on the one hand what they say and do reflects what they think and feel, and on the other what they think and feel reflects who they are. Stephen Joseph has pioneered developments in research into authenticity, drawing on the solid science of positive psychology to develop what has become one of the gold-standard tests for assessing authenticity. His and others' findings reveal that when people are in relationships in which they feel accepted, understood and valued, they drop their defences. They naturally begin to examine themselves psychologically, accommodate new information and live more authentically. What's more, the latest studies reveal that it is authenticity that leads to true happiness. In Authentic, Stephen Joseph presents his fresh and inspiring perspective on the psychology of authenticity alongside practical advice and exercises for the reader. Drawing on the wisdom of existential philosophers, the insights and research of psychologists, and case studies from his own and others' clinical experiences, he shows how authenticity is the foundation of human flourishing - as well as how the ideas relate to debates about the importance of happiness.
