New York Times Book Review 10 Best Books of 2018

A New York Times Notable Book 

The #1 New York Times bestseller.

A brilliant and brave investigation into the medical and scientific revolution taking place around psychedelic drugs--and the spellbinding story of his own life-changing psychedelic experiences

When Michael Pollan set out to research how LSD and psilocybin (the active ingredient in magic mushrooms) are being used to provide relief to people suffering from difficult-to-treat conditions such as depression, addiction and anxiety, he did not intend to write what is undoubtedly his most personal book. But upon discovering how these remarkable substances are improving the lives not only of the mentally ill but also of healthy people coming to grips with the challenges of everyday life, he decided to explore the landscape of the mind in the first person as well as the third. Thus began a singular adventure into various altered states of consciousness, along with a dive deep into both the latest brain science and the thriving underground community of psychedelic therapists. Pollan sifts the historical record to separate the truth about these mysterious drugs from the myths that have surrounded them since the 1960s, when a handful of psychedelic evangelists inadvertently catalyzed a powerful backlash against what was then a promising field of research.

A unique and elegant blend of science, memoir, travel writing, history, and medicine, How to Change Your Mind is a triumph of participatory journalism. By turns dazzling and edifying, it is the gripping account of a journey to an exciting and unexpected new frontier in our understanding of the mind, the self, and our place in the world. The true subject of Pollan's "mental travelogue" is not just psychedelic drugs but also the eternal puzzle of human consciousness and how, in a world that offers us both suffering and joy, we can do our best to be fully present and find meaning in our lives.

"My wife Ivy and I have been avid readers of Michael Pollan's previous articles and book-length works especially those involving healthful eating and the food industry. By way of background I am a forty-something surgeon and my wife is an author and blogger with MS who has on occasion had to cope with condition-related mood issues. Without having done much research into the psychedelics other than to ensure they are indeed medically safe (as this book discusses in more detail) a couple years back we participated in several overseas guided ayahuasca (a psychedelic plant mentioned in How to Change Your Mind) sessions. Our experiences as a couple participating both to obtain hoped-for medical benefits and for, in my case, the "betterment of well people" to quote Pollan's book have been discussed online and mirror the experiences described by Mr. Pollan and by the numerous academic professionals, researchers, and patients interviewed throughout this journalistic masterpiece. To describe this further is beyond the scope of my review but we can vouch that this book is one hundred percent serious journalism and that research investment into the study of psychedelics as medications for treatment resistant psychiatric conditions and as spiritual aids for the betterment of humanity is very much needed and is well underway as described in detail in Pollan's book.

As for the prosaic the book is over 400 pages and written at an advanced level and will engage the most curious of readers. The book is organized into six chapters. The first is a broad introduction to the topic of psychedelics and the second discusses psychedelic mushrooms which possess an active ingredient that is the topic of many current-era human research studies. The third chapter discusses the first wave of psychedelic research (I had no idea that in the 1950's these substances were academically studied and thought to hold great promise only for that research to be practically shut down as a result of the political upheaval of the late 60's) and is of great interest to anyone interested in the history of these substances even if one has no interest in their pharmacological effects. The fourth discusses the author's own personal experiences as a middle-aged adult with the psychedelics and he is spot-on with his fascinating first person descriptions of the experience. Finally, chapters five and six discuss current research, expected medical benefits and benefits to the well-person, the neuroscience behind the actual function of psychedelics in the brain, and proposed solutions for safely distributing the psychedelics to persons who could benefit.

For many readers this book will "change your mind" about the loaded term "psychedelic" and will open you up to at least the possibility the world could be a better place if these substances could be studied with as much zeal as are other pharmaceuticals and could be offered safely for the benefit of the millions of persons worldwide suffering from conditions related to dysfunction of the mind."

• This book is many things. It's entertaining to say the least. Pollan takes the heavily loaded topic of psychedelics (LSD and psilocybin) and analyzes it from the compelling perspective of a 63-year-old journalist who's "not at all sure he's ever had a single 'spiritually significant' experience." Every few pages, I stopped to wonder how this old guy (sorry, Mr. Pollan) is so much more fluent on the topic than me, a 25-year-old hippie vegan.
  
  But that's exactly what makes the book so important. Psychedelics don't need to be locked in a role as mind-expanding recreational drugs for young hippies. Research suggests they can play an important role in combating mental illness, and if properly regulated, provide psychological benefits for "the betterment of well people." If there's anyone best suited to help society move past the 1960s and take a fresh, honest look at psychedelics, it's Michael Pollan.
  
  Also consider listening to his podcast with Tim Ferriss about this new book.
• I was thrilled to learn that Michael Pollan was going to tackle the subject of psychedelics and the promising research being done by MAPS and Johns Hopkins, among others. I love his previous books. He is a skilled writer and does such a great job explaining complex topics. I got my copy one day early (thank you to 's efficient delivery service). I am only partially through it, and so far it is fascinating. His recent appearance on Tim Ferriss' podcast was tremendous and is a great introduction to the book and his careful handling of the topic. The potential value for the use of psychedelics in mental health treatment must be fully explored. I hope this book helps further that exploration.
• Last night I finished reading Michael Pollan's latest book, How to Change Your Mind - What the New Science of Psychedelics Teaches Us About Consciousness, Dying, Addiction, Depression, and Transcendence (Penguin Press, 2018). I'd ordered the book pre-publication, so they sent it to me on the day of its release. I'd been happily anticipating the book as I've admired Pollan's previous works very much. His journalism has long dealt with 'Gaia-related' topics and his even-handed, well written and researched presentations have always included the aspects of conciousness at their core. I can unhesitatingly recommend this volume. He presents both a history of modern (1950-70s) 'psychedelic' research studies & explorations and a current report of the newly resumed studies in the many uses of entheogens. This includes both overviews of clinical studies, practices of 'shamanic traditions', and his own personal experiences. I'm sure you'd recognize the names of many of the principle players & circumstances he describes; old friends of psychedelic literature & exploration.
  
  I think it's great that such a thoughtful book would be offered by this well-accomplished 'mainstream' journalist. This can only lend more weight to the general public & our authorities to developing a less reactionary and more sane view of these sacramental benefactors. Pollan, like all of us, is very concerned about how we can continue to sustainably exist as individuals, a society, a species. He sees that there may be some allies, close to hand, that have long been available to help us adjust our perceptions and continue on an evolutionary journey, to grow & to expand rather than self-destructing. "How to change your mind" is a well chosen phrase, an observation that often our 'problems' are ones of perception rather than actual unyielding obstacles. Good work, good book, good gracious.

Midnight Train to Paris City of Light Book 3 edition by Juliette Sobanet Romance eBooks Reviews

• Juliette Sobanet is a new writer for me and I found myself enjoying this book very much from the first page. The story involves twin girls who have a rather rough upbringing as their mother, a former prostitute, finds herself destitute after her husband leaves the family to fend for themselves. The girls share the common bond that many twins have, the ability to know how the other is doing emotionally. The situation goes from bad to worse when their mother returns to the only way she knows to make money. Flash forward to the present and see that one of the twins, Jillian Chambord is a successful newspaper journalist just about ready to publish her expose of the powerful DC political bigwig that ruined the lives of the twins growing up, meet the justice he so richly deserves. She is talking to her editor about the article when her ex boyfriend and former CIA investigator shows up at her office, saying that Jillian needs to leave, as her twin, Isla, has been abducted. Now a private investigator, Samuel has been hired by the wealthy Morel family of Paris to find Isla, the fiance' of their son, Fredderic. Little did Jillian know that heading to Paris and the Morel castle was just the start of the hunt for Isla.that would take the couple back to another time when another abduction had happened on the infamous and opulent Orient Express train. But Jillian will do anything in her power to save Isla from a fate that has been waiting for her for the last 75 years.
• I have absolutely loved Juliette's Paris books, so I couldn't wait to read this one. This is the first serial I've read, and it's an interesting approach. I read each one as it came out. I can't decide if I had to do it all over again if I would've waited and read it all at once. But regardless, I really enjoyed the story.
  
  Juliette's other Paris books are probably considered chicklit or women's fiction. This book was quite a departure though. I would call this a time travel romantic mystery. What I loved the most about this story is that it was totally unique! I kept constantly thinking, where did she come up with this? I literally felt transported from present day to Paris in 1937.
  
  Juliette has a strong voice and it worked really well in this story. I absolutely loved Samuel. I'm very impressed at Juliette being able to pull off a story like this and make it work. Would highly recommend.
• The Midnight Train to Paris by Juliette Sobanet
  
  This story takes you on a ride of a most famous train and through time and back again to the present.
  When one can put one's life in danger to save others the harmful effects of the past nightmares and mysteries.
  Where a newspaper journalist and an ex-boyfriend are reunited and thrown together in a case, set out to find the answers of several mysteries of the past. Set in beautiful backgrounds of France, Paris's country sides, the mountains of the Alps and surrounding areas and also set on the famous Orient Express train.. Mysteries told and webs unwound to find answers and help find out about deaths committed long ago and save them from happening again in the present.
  
  A whirlwind story of adventure, life, love and excitement. Where it will take this couple in future stories will be up to this wonderful story telling author. She will have you wanting more. I will definitely look forward to reading more of her book.
  
  Thank you for a enjoyable read.
• I received this book in installations as the author wrote it. That is the first time I have ever read a Serial Book and I
  found it quite appealing. Will do it again, that is for sure.
  
  This is one of those books that takes the characters back in time via the Orient Express to solve a European Murder
  75 years earlier. If they can not get their in time....generations of people's lives will be forever be affected in a tragic way.
  
  I loved this Author's writing style. and will want to read the rest of her books that will come out in July.
  
  If you have never tried a serial read...do yourself a favor and give it a try. Oh, you must have an e-reader to do so.
• I enjoyed all the twists and turns that were so unexpected. Very fast paced on the edge of your seat story. Just when you think you have it figured out, something else is thrown into the mix. If there is a sequel, I WILL be reading it. I highly recommend this book.
• I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this book. Love Tanya Eby as narrator. The story had me so entranced while at work that it kept me focused and my daynflew by.
• Good story. Well written. The book has way too much repetitive lurid detail in the violence scenes. Same with sex.-- too much and too repetitive. The story line, however, is valid, imaginative, and worth exploring.
• This is about a young woman who must travel back in time to save her abducted twin today. It has mystery, romance, betrayal and murder.
  
  Although it takes more than an hour to read it, it is so worth it

Download As PDF : Mind and Matter A Life in Math and Football John Urschel Louisa Thomas Books

For John Urschel, what began as an insatiable appetite for puzzles as a child developed into mastery of the elegant systems and rules of mathematics. By the time he was thirteen, Urschel was auditing a college-level calculus course. But when he joined his high school football team, a new interest began to eclipse the thrill he felt in the classroom. Football challenged Urschel in an entirely different way, and he became addicted to the physical contact of the sport. After he accepted a scholarship to play at Penn State, his love of math was rekindled. As a Nittany Lion, he refused to sacrifice one passion for the other. Against the odds, Urschel found a way to manage his double life as a scholar and an athlete. While he was an offensive lineman for the Baltimore Ravens, he simultaneously pursued his PhD in mathematics at MIT.

Weaving together two separate narratives, Urschel relives for us the most pivotal moments of his bifurcated life. He explains why, after Penn State was sanctioned for the acts of former coach Jerry Sandusky, he declined offers from prestigious universities and refused to abandon his team. He describes his parents’ different influences and their profound effect on him, and he opens up about the correlation between football and CTE and the risks he took for the game he loves. Equally at home discussing Georg Cantor’s work on infinities and Bill Belichick’s playbook, Urschel reveals how each challenge—whether on the field or in the classroom—has brought him closer to understanding the two different halves of his own life, and how reason and emotion, the mind and the body, are always working together. “So often, people want to divide the world into two,” he observes. “Matter and energy. Wave and particle. Athlete and mathematician. Why can’t something (or someone) be both?”

An original and scientifically rigorous exploration of the darkest recesses of the human mind.

What is it about evil that we find so compelling? From our obsession with serial killers to violence in pop culture, we seem inescapably drawn to the stories of monstrous acts and the aberrant people who commit them. But evil, Dr. Julia Shaw argues, is all relative, rooted in our unique cultures. What one may consider normal, like sex before marriage, eating meat, or being a banker, others may find abhorrent. And if evil is only in the eye of the beholder, can it be said to exist at all? 

In Evil, Dr. Shaw uses case studies from academia, examples from popular culture, and anecdotes from everyday life to break down complex information and concepts, such as the neuroscience of evil, the psychology of bloodlust, and workplace misbehavior. In grappling with thorny dilemmas - from "Would I kill baby Hitler?" to "Why do I want to murder my spouse?" - Dr. Shaw offers listeners a better understanding of the world, ourselves, and our Google search histories.

• Very rarely, I hear a phrase so poignant it is able to stop time., It leaves me frozen, and emotions once pushed down rush to the surface and explode, all superficial thoughts stopping for the briefest of moments. In this place appears a gap in time, an immeasurable space experienced by everyone at some point in their lives, the moment where it becomes clear a change is necessary. Most often, when this happenesd to me, it’s not truly the phrase that is unusual, instead, it’s a simple “run of the mill” utterance for many who hear it; it passes other people by as if it were floating on the breeze. But, for me, that sentence cut me, it went in, fast, deep straight to my heart.That phrase manifested not as a thought but as a feeling, a visceral physical reaction, something my body once had but lost. It was once there, but from a place both forgotten and neglected, this phrase bought it back. This feeling was brought back while watching the Kindness Diaries and then more so again and again while reading “Go be Kind”. These reactions seeped deep into my consciousness and would not be shaken, they had taken hold and would only grow.
  
  “Go Be Kind” is the book by the Leon Logothetis, who is also the creator of the Netflix and Prime show The Kindness Diaries. The show is Leon traveling the world with no money relying solely on the kindness of others for this survival (he does not accept money only kindness). “Go Be Kind” is a more detailed journal that is independent of the TV series, but makes many references to the show in its text. In a sense, it gives the reader a road map to their own kindness journey.
  
  Yes, there was another truth when I first received the “Go be Kind book”. To be completely honest, I thought it was absolute garbage! I skimmed it and was put off by the font. Yes, that’s right, the font offended me, you see, I am a 12 point Arial Font guy and this “Diary of a Wimpy Kid” style font looked liked a kids book to me. I stopped at a couple of pages and thought it was simply recycled content from the TV show It appeared to me that Leon was trying to squeeze some extra pennies out of his show by writing a book.
  Needless to say, I left it where I skimmed it, in the bathroom. But, on a later visit, I decided it might be worth a second chance. After watching the netflix series, I knew Leon was not a penny squeezing kind of guy. so I picked it up and started to read it! Imagine that. And, with a new perspective and an open mind, my feelings changed. Each chapter is organized into unique “adventures” and if you read and try and follow the exercises, it really probes deep and forces you to think, to examine who you are and what it really means to be kind.
  In order to help its readers, the text is written in a supportive style, and, often, it preemptively has an answer to the challenges the “adventures” present. Similar to the overall theme of the book, it seems to treat the reader with the same compassion and kindness it teaches. However, some of the adventures are particularly challenging. For example, the third adventure asks the reader to find people who might appear lonely, or someone who looks different that you, and give them a genuine compliment. It sounds simple right? However, for me, and I’m sure for many others who picked this book up with the intention of learning to be more kind, while simple, it was not easy at all. Nevertheless, perseverance delivers. Actually following through with the exercise feels uplifting and freeing!
  Some of the adventures are more straightforward, while others are considerably more difficult, such as approaching and talking to strangers about kindness. Boy, that was a tough one, yet the exercise playing cell phone roulette and just calling someone and connecting seamed easier, but no less meaningful. Lots of adventures involve going out into the world and connecting with those around you, but quite a few are reflective, almost therapeutic exercises such as examining when and why you treated someone poorly.
  It is clear that Leon has really thought this book through, it’s a journey in of itself. I would guess these are all activities that Leon performed and meditated on himself over the past years on his journey to being kind both with himself and others. In addition, throughout the book, there are references to being lonely or feeling like an outsider. It’s certainly a book for us outsiders, people who feel isolated, or at least have at some point in their lives. Leon shares how this happened to him at school and how it changed and shaped his life.
  In summary, the book will continue to change me and others who read it. It has given me the gap that only kindness will, the gap between an event and my reaction to it, one that will help me deal first with myself, then with my family, and finally to engage with the world with a greater sense of connection, compassion and kindness.
  Read the book, do the exercises, ignore the font, you will grow to love it!, watch the show, and be kind- starting with yourself.
• This is not just a book or journal. It's more of an action guide to a kindness adventure! The world around us keeps giving us messages that things are dark, sad, hopeless, and just downright horrible. I found Leon’s Netflix show "The Kindness Diaries" (check it out!) a few months back when I was feeling pretty low. I cried every episode; they were tears of deep gratitude and connection. Connection because I was reminded that there is kindness everywhere around us and we have more in common than we realize, and gratitude because Leon and his crew were out there finding ways to remind all of us that kindness matters and is possible every day, in ways big and small. I’ve always been told by others that I’m a kind person, but through Leon’s show and Facebook page, I've begun to realize I have become rather self absorbed in my own problems and worries. I was so bogged down with work and life and worry that I had stopped going outside my comfort zone to really reach out to others. Let’s face it – we can all find ourselves stuck there! When this book arrived in the mail, I wasn’t sure what to expect. Would it be tiny print text of narrative, with a few exercises thrown in at the end of each chapter? Nope! I should have known that with Leon’s engaging style and adventurous spirit, it would be something far different! I was thrilled to open it up and begin looking through it. It’s A KINDNESS ADVENTURE ACTION GUIDE, easy to read and follow, full of energizing and meaningful words of wisdom and guides for putting kindness into action.
  
  I highly recommend the hardcover version, since it is designed for you to draw, write, color, journal in, etc.
  
  Get this book – buy one or a few to share with others – and be part of the change the world needs. Go Be Kind! It’s up to us to make the world the kind place we want it to be. Kindness matters and love wins. See you on the journey!

Silent No More How I Became a Political Prisoner of Mueller "Witch Hunt" Jerome R Corsi PhD 9781642932171 Books Reviews

• Once again Dr Corsi gives us a great read. This one is full of personal stories and background information even going back to his father's work with the Democrat party and the railroad unions.
  Dr Corsi gives us a first person account of his dealing with the Mueller special counsel. After George Papadapolous. Carter Page and General Flynne have dispelled the Russian collusion delusion we know have an in depth detailed day by day personal account of how his own information voluntarily given to the investigation was used against him in a purgery trap. When the prosecuters have printed documents of all your email and phone texts and Verizon refuses to give you print outs of your phone texts you are totally at the mercy of your memory to go against the prosecuters that have every single word you have texted. Needless to say these prosecutors will use anything you have forgotten to tell the world that you have lied to the FBI.
  Read the book and decide for yourself. End the witch hunt Mueller is only interested in a set up to impeach President Trump our duly elected leader.
• Disregard the trolls. Yes, I was surprised at finding misspellings but look past that to the larger meaning because the message of the book is too close to what happens before a communist take-over of a formerly free country. This book is instructive in that it corroborates what happened in License to Lie by Sidney Powell. Federal prosecutors took down and entire company with hundreds of employees (Arthur Anderson) only to have the conviction reversed after it totally destroyed many lives. That is a fact, not a conspiracy. There were several heartbreaking stories that this scenario happened to. And no recourse for the victims because it is the government. Corsi's example is chilling because it has to do with the highest form of constitutionally protected speech - political speech. That is how Corsi makes his living. Expecting a 72 year old to remember a single e-mail out of 65,000 emails two years ago without the benefit of "memory refreshed" is bad. But to use this scenario to create a perjury charge to coerce a false confession consistent with a prosecutor's theory of the case is unconscionable. They brought the full force of the DOJ, FBI and CIA down on Corsi and broke him down for 40 hours of intensive, exhaustive questioning by 3 of Mueller's top prosecutors when Corsi wasn't even charged with a crime. He was a potential witness.
• Needs proof reading for dates and times and redundant in places but a must read.
  My logical conclusion is Seth Rich not the Russians leaked the DNC emails and Mueller"s team is worse than imaginable at trying to prove forgone conclusions.
• Sure, the book could use a good editor to correct some mistakes. My guess is the digital manuscript was rushed to release. Looking past that this first-hand story reveals an over-zealous prosecutorial effort focused on validation rather than seeking the truth. Mueller's team attempted to negotiate a plea deal to a dubious process crime in order to work their way up the food chain. So far they've failed.
  
  My hope is that Dr. Corsi and his wife stand strong. I admire his courage to honor the truth, and I can't say my memory of events years old would be much better under the grueling circumstances presented in the book.
  
  Dr. Corsi, you're 72 with a weakened heart and feeling vulnerable. But you have expressed a strong faith and a love for our country. I'm confident that no matter what happens the truth will set you free. The American people respect a fighter and underdog so keep believing in us and do what you know is right in your heart. Take the advice of the limo driver when you drove past the NBC interview.
• Anyone naive enough to believe that government is always here to help MUST read this book. It documents efforts by a consolidation of special interests to cover for the incompetence, chicanery, and outright crimes of who pervert our rights for power and financial gain. What has been happening to Dr. Corsi is unethical, immoral, and quite certainly criminal.
  
  By exposing the intimidation and persecution of innocent Americans by rogue elements of the Department of Justice we are all indebted Dr. Corsi.
• As I stated once before after reading one of his books,
  It is worth reading and every true American should read it.
  I think most Americans are believing the lies on the media or just not interested (or even lack the time). Hard to say.
  I admire Dr. Corsi and he deserves our back. Read this to learn the truth.
• Great book and very informative. But for goodness sake, please do some gammar-checking. There are numerous misspellings, punctuation errors, and even a wrong date or two. Example - "Starting October 7, 2018, Assange dropped 57,153 emails in the Podesta file over in thirty-four parts". This meant to say October 7, 2016...not 2018. Little errors like this make the story confusing if you don't realize it is an error. All in all, great read though!
• It's a great book, the story in itself is scary tough.

Per un tragico errore della Prefettura, i bonifici della meritata pensione di Ferruccio Pammattone, Eugenio Mignogna e Luc Santoro, alias Semolino, Kukident e Maalox, sono saltati, scaraventando i tre ex poliziotti in un mondo a loro sconosciuto, quello di chi si arrabatta per mettere insieme il pranzo con la cena. La temporanea indigenza, però, permette loro di guardare con occhio più comprensivo certi «stratagemmi» per tirare a campare, che nella «pancia» più povera di Genova pare siano all’ordine del giorno. Negli ultimi tempi, poi, in quei quartieri dai fragili equilibri sociali si notano strani movimenti di speculatori, costruttori, uomini d’affari ed esponenti politici. I nostri tre eroi vengono così a conoscenza, per caso, di uno squallido piano dei famigerati «poteri forti» per l'appropriazione di un pezzo significativo del centro storico. Tra l’altro, chi ha provato a denunciarli ci ha rimesso la vita…
Sembra uno scontro impari, una partita persa in partenza tre poliziotti in pensione contro una banda di giganti ricchi e potenti. Ma Semolino, Kukident e Maalox non si arrenderanno e sapranno mettere in campo vecchie esperienze e nuove competenze per riscattare quella fetta di popolazione senza voce.

Download As PDF : Guarigione da Disordini e Malattie Italian Edition eBook Vianna Stibal

In questo libro sono inseriti i Programmi, i Sistemi di Convinzione, le visioni intuitive, i rimedi la cui validità per alcune malattie e alcuni disturbi è stata comprovata da Vianna in oltre 47.000 sedute.

Guarigione da Disordini e Malattie è tratto dal manoscritto di Vianna, e si accompagna ai due libri Theta Healing e Theta Healing Avanzato. Questo libro non include passo per passo i processi specifici descritti dettagliatamente nei due libri precedenti. Ecco perché, al fine di utilizzarlo al meglio, è necessario avere raggiunto una conoscenza adeguata di tali processi.

Il Theta Healing è una modalità di potenziamento energetica fondato da Vianna Stibal. E' concepito come una guida terapeutica per sviluppare autonomamente labilità di apportare cambiamenti a tutti i livelli, fisico, mentale, emotivo e spirituale, utilizzando le onde cerebrali di tipo theta.

Il Theta Healing è famoso in particolare per il Lavoro sulle Convinzioni e i Sentimenti. Grazie alle dimostrazioni scientifiche sempre più numerose, che attestano quanto lemozione nociva possa contribuire ad avviare la malattia, e alla maggiore consapevolezza che le emozioni, i sentimenti e il potere del pensiero hanno un effetto diretto sulla salute fisica, vi è un interesse sempre più marcato nel comprendere come modificare linfluenza che la mente ha sul corpo per ottenere una salute ottimale.

"Credo che il ThetaHealing sia la tecnica più potente e più profonda esistente in questo momento sul pianeta. La lettura di questo libro è fondamentale. Questa tecnica insegna al lettore come recuperare il completo benessere a ogni livello dellessere. La conoscenza che Vianna Stibal condivide in questo libro con il mondo è un dono. Dopo averlo letto, la persona può assumere totalmente il potere di governare e utilizzare la bussola del proprio Modello Genetico per riacquisire totalmente la salute emotiva, mentale, fisica, fisiologica, psicologica e spirituale. Io ne sono la prova vivente così come i miei colleghi, i miei clienti e i miei allievi. Ti voglio bene Vianna per essere come sei e per il fatto di insegnare il ThetaHealing al mondo."
Marine Rose - Mediatrice e Insegnante ThetaHealing
Direttrice della Scuola di ThetaHealing - Los Angeles, New York, Inghilterra, Australia, Costa Rica.

Vianna Stibal ha il dono sorprendente di insegnare come rispettare e apprezzare il corpo umano e la sua infinita saggezza. Questa visione è ciò che prima mi mancava anche se sono cresciuta in una famiglia di medici. Attraverso i suoi insegnamenti, ho potuto sperimentare meravigliosi cambiamenti nel mio corpo e nella mia vita. Questo incredibile volume di saggezza demistifica e insegna le ragioni dellesistenza della malattia e come ripristinare larmonia vibrazionale, riacquisendo lequilibrio fisico, emotivo e spirituale. Il fascino diretto del contenuto di questo libro investe chiunque sia pronto a compiere il cambiamento.

Download As PDF : Coders The Making of a New Tribe and the Remaking of the World Audible Audio Edition Clive Thompson René Ruiz Penguin Audio Books

Hello, world.

Facebook's algorithms shaping the news. Self-driving cars roaming the streets. Revolution on Twitter and romance on Tinder. We live in a world constructed of code - and coders are the ones who built it for us. From acclaimed tech writer Clive Thompson comes a brilliant anthropological reckoning with the most powerful tribe in the world today, computer programmers, in a book that interrogates who they are, how they think, what qualifies as greatness in their world, and what should give us pause. They are the most quietly influential people on the planet, and Coders shines a light on their culture. 

In pop culture and media, the people who create the code that rules our world are regularly portrayed in hackneyed, simplified terms, as ciphers in hoodies. Thompson goes far deeper, dramatizing the psychology of the invisible architects of the culture, exploring their passions and their values, as well as their messy history. In nuanced portraits, Coders takes us close to some of the great programmers of our time, including the creators of Facebook's News Feed, Instagram, Google's cutting-edge AI, and more. Speaking to everyone from revered "10X" elites to neophytes, back-end engineers, and front-end designers, Thompson explores the distinctive psychology of this vocation - which combines a love of logic, an obsession with efficiency, the joy of puzzle-solving, and a superhuman tolerance for mind-bending frustration. 

Along the way, Coders thoughtfully ponders the morality and politics of code, including its implications for civic life and the economy. Programmers shape our everyday behavior When they make something easy to do, we do more of it. When they make it hard or impossible, we do less of it. Thompson wrestles with the major controversies of our era, from the "disruption" fetish of Silicon Valley to the struggle for inclusion by marginalized groups.

In his accessible, erudite style, Thompson unpacks the surprising history of the field, beginning with the first coders - brilliant and pioneering women, who, despite crafting some of the earliest personal computers and programming languages, were later written out of history. Coders introduces modern crypto-hackers fighting for your privacy, AI engineers building eerie new forms of machine cognition, teenage girls losing sleep at 24/7 hackathons, and unemployed Kentucky coal-miners learning a new career. 

At the same time, the book deftly illustrates how programming has become a marvelous new art form - a source of delight and creativity, not merely danger. To get as close to his subject as possible, Thompson picks up the thread of his own long-abandoned coding skills as he reckons with what superb programming looks like. 

To understand the world today, we need to understand code and its consequences. With Coders, Thompson gives a definitive look into the heart of the machine.

"This is a good history of programming and programmers. I have read much of the historical material before in other books but this book manages to present new material in every chapter. This book seems to be targeted for the non-programmer or maybe someone who works with programmers and wants to figure out why they do things the way they do. First - there is not one programmer type but they good programmers share some common qualities that the book delves into for the reader. When my son wanted to become a programmer I feared there was one quality he did not have - ability to deal with frustration. The book details why that ability is essential for all good programmers to survive and thrive. I loved the book so much I purchased copies to give out to co-workers that have to work with coders."

Coders The Making of a New Tribe and the Remaking of the World Audible Audio Edition Clive Thompson René Ruiz Penguin Audio Books Reviews

• Clive Thompson’s new behind the screen look at the tribe of coders is by no means perfect. A journalist by profession, Thompson’s chapters somewhat read like a series of loosely connected articles for the New York Times magazine. But these glances at different aspects of the computer programming world do incisively capture the culture for both good and ill.
  
  Written primarily for those who are not members of the tribe, as a data scientist I cannot say I learned much by reading it. But its depiction of the hyper-masculine, intellectually preoccupied, socially inept world of programming did resonate. Of course, Thompson is not the first writer to depict this world. Nor is he the first to opine that the immense amount of harm caused by these new technologies is the result of the blindnesses of this monoculture. But updating readers on the cultural changes in computing from the 1950s to the 1990s to 2019 is important for everyone who has to live in the partially online modern world.
  
  Thompson also makes a concerted argument that the lack of women and minorities in computers is the result of cultural bias and not in any sense genetic. Though largely relying on anecdotal evidence the argument grows increasingly persuasive as the book advances. I wish Thompson had relied more on data and less on personal testimony. Given, however, that this is an issue with significant cultural and financial implications, it’s encouraging to see this position well-articulated.
  
  I ended up thinking after reading it through that the book is a light and mostly pleasant way for those not in coding to understand something of this ever growing part of modernity. Not a must-read but something that non-coders will both benefit from and enjoy.
• <em>Coders</em> is a sign of its times instead of comprehensively covering the topic of code, how it works, and where it comes from, Thompson does some of that, which is to be commended, and a lot of fomenting discord through relentless stereotypes about race and sex. He seems to believe women and some people, based on the color of their skin, cannot code as some other groups can, and that implication is disconcerting, pervasive, and annoying in his book.
  
  But Thompson cannot help himself; he is a creature of the media and he doesn't realize the bogosity of the water in which he swims. Instead of focusing on the product and how it is made, he focuses on the race and gender of the people making it. Software can be written by anyone; that is a topic to be celebrated. Thompson repeatedly misses the forest for the trees of race and gender.
  
  There is a great book stashed inside this performatively "woke" book. Thompson keeps showing us glimpses of that great book, then hiding the great book away so he can repeat bland media formulas about how women and minorities are hurt most. News at 11. If this book is read in the far future, it will be seen as yet another example of the media class's obsessions in this age; instead of focusing on technology and how to build the future, Thompson focuses on media-enabled squabbles. We know that you've replaced church with the church of "social justice;" we don't need evangelizing for it in everything you do.
  
  He claims, "Feminism and diversity are, indeed, sore points in the industry" (22). No, they are not; they are sore points in the grievance studies and media industries. Those are studies bent on complaining; tech is bent on building the future. He goes on to claim that "The racial makeup [of most tech cos] is not more diverse," then goes on to admit that Asians are prevalent in tech. Do they not count as diversity? Why does Thompson systematically exclude Asians? His own racial insensitivity shows here; performative wokeness shades back into the racism it claims to oppose. Thompson says early hackers "admired great code even if it came from someone with no rank at all" (37)—isn't that meritocracy?
  
  Thompson asks, "What makes programming so often inhospitable for women?" He assumes it is, ignoring the vast number of successful women in the field. Why not focus harder on what makes coders, rather than the race or sex of the coders? Because that wouldn't reify Thompson's world view. We get it, Clive you are a moral hero while the rest of us are mere struggling pygmies. Maybe one day we can be as good as you demonstrate yourself to be in this book.
• This is a good history of programming and programmers. I have read much of the historical material before in other books but this book manages to present new material in every chapter.
