Can mind-body practices from the East help us become well? When it comes to healing, we believe we must look beyond doctors and drugs; we must look within ourselves.

Reenchanted Science: Holism in German Culture from Wilhelm II to Hitler
ISBN: 9780691050508 / Angielski / Miękka / 1999 / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych. By the 1920s in Central Europe, it had become a truism among intellectuals that natural science had "disenchanted" the world, and in particular had reduced humans to mere mechanisms, devoid of higher purpose. But could a new science of "wholeness" heal what the old science of the "machine" had wrought? Some contemporary scientists thought it could. These years saw the spread of a new, "holistic" science designed to nourish the heart as well as the head, to "reenchant" even as it explained. Critics since have linked this holism to a German irrationalism that is supposed to have paved the...

The Placebo Effect: An Interdisciplinary Exploration
ISBN: 9780674669864 / Angielski / Miękka / 1999 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. A mere "symbol" of medicine--the sugar pill, saline injection, doctor in a white lab coat--the placebo nonetheless sometimes produces "real" results. Medical science has largely managed its discomfort with this phenomenon by discounting the placebo effect, subtracting it as an impurity in its data through double-blind tests of new treatments and drugs. This book is committed to a different perspective--namely, that the placebo effect is a "real" entity in its own right, one that has much to teach us about how symbols, settings, and human relationships literally get under our...

Behavioral Economics and Nuclear Weapons
ISBN: 9780820364834 / Angielski / Miękka / 2023 / 232 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Recent discoveries in psychology and neuroscience have improved our understanding of why our decision making processes fail to match standard social science assumptions about rationality. As researchers such as Daniel Kahneman, Amos Tversky, and Richard Thaler have shown, people often depart in systematic ways from the predictions of the rational actor model of classic economic thought because of the influence of emotions, cognitive biases, an aversion to loss, and other strong motivations and values. These findings about the limits of rationality have formed the basis of behavioral...
