An expert on mind considers how animals and smart machines measure up to human intelligence.Octopuses can open jars to get food, and chimpanzees can plan for the future. An IBM computer named Watson won on Jeopardy! and Alexa knows our favorite songs. But do animals and smart machines really have intelligence comparable to that of humans? In Bots and Beasts, Paul Thagard looks at how computers ("bots") and animals measure up to the minds of people, offering the first systematic comparison of intelligence across machines, animals, and humans.Thagard explains that human intelligence is more than IQ and encompasses such features as problem solving, decision making, and creativity. He uses a checklist of twenty characteristics of human intelligence to evaluate the smartest machines--including Watson, AlphaZero, virtual assistants, and self-driving cars--and the most intelligent animals--including octopuses, dogs, dolphins, bees, and chimpanzees. Neither a romantic enthusiast for nonhuman intelligence nor a skeptical killjoy, Thagard offers a clear assessment. He discusses hotly debated issues about animal intelligence concerning bacterial consciousness, fish pain, and dog jealousy. He evaluates the plausibility of achieving human-level artificial intelligence and considers ethical and policy issues. A full appreciation of human minds reveals that current bots and beasts fall far short of human capabilities.

There are over 55,000 posts about #MentalHealth on TikTok, viewed by more than 188 million users.

But more often than not, they are still left confused about how to respond to these challenges in positive ways.What seems to be lacking isn't education about stress or anxiety, but rather effective cognitive, emotional, and behavioral skills to confront obstacles head on. Above and beyond the guidance offered by friends, parents, and schoolteachers, teens can also benefit from learning how to improve their reactions to stressful situations.Beyond Coping Skills: The Ultimate Teens' Workbook is an easy-to-use self-directed therapy workbook that can help teenagers aged 13-19 practice core CBT and DBT skills from the comfort of their own bedrooms.Yes, that's right! In this digital age, where there is an app for virtually everything, and information is available at the touch of a button, therapy has become more affordable and accessible online!Several studies have proven the success of both CBT and DBT in managing stress, regulating strong emotions, and modifying behaviors-and the best part is that the same skills taught in a counseling room can be practiced at home too!Over the course of 5 chapters, 28 journal prompts, and 50 exercises, teens can look forward to learning:The power of the pause when sensing triggers and managing impulsive urges.How to identify and detach from unwanted thoughts and emotions.Strategies on how to define, brainstorm, and implement solutions for everyday life problems.How to develop self-respect through boundary setting and positive conflict resolution.The purpose of this workbook is to mentally prepare teens for unexpected and ongoing stressful situations they may face at home or at school. Through a powerful combination of CBT and DBT skills, they will be able to walk away with knowledge on how to reflect, reframe, and readjust their thoughts and emotions to achieve desired goals.

What happens in our brain when we create a story? Based on neuro-cognitivism, the study of narratives ¿ ranging from novels to ¿life-stories¿, which relate to interstitial topics ¿ has become more rigorous. In fact, an unparalleled panorama of constants, cemented since the Upper Palaeolithic, has been added to an unprecedented awareness of how each cultural habitat shapes the narratives of its inhabitants. This occured according to a particular neuro-cognitive style, thus limiting the so-called ¿authorial¿ freedom. Narratives ¿ whether they originate from the Muses or from the voice of a completely illiterate individual ¿ are like compressors that can zip together all the most crucial elements in our existence: time, space, intentions, purposes, agents and instrumental actions. For this reason, they represent an inexhaustible object of research.

"The Meca Sapiens Blueprint" is a Cognitive Architecture that describes, in detail, how to build a conscious machine using standard software techniques. A robotic system based on The Meca Sapiens Blueprint would be a unique and autonomous entity that is self-aware and capable of intentional self transformations. It would interact with its users as an independent and conscious being. It would generate, in these users, the certainty they are dealing with another consciousness.Intended for software implementation, The Meca Sapiens Blueprint is readily accessible to the informed reader. By discovering the mechanisms that generate conscious behaviour in machines, readers will gain new insights about human consciousness itself. They will also understand that new and radically different form of consciousness could enter our world.

"Be Kind to Yourself." "You need to let it go." "Just don't let it bother you."Have you ever heard such advice and thought, "Sure, but HOW?" That's the trick, isn't it? We are given similar messages all the time and with the best of intentions, yet no one seems to have a blueprint to help us get there. Many sources provide theories but give minimal suggestions on How to create a better life.There is no easy solution... but there is a solution.Therapeutic Mindfulness is a step-by-step process that works to directly heal the things that bother you. Ruth has taught Therapeutic Mindfulness to clients resulting in: Long term therapy clients developing independence and being able to work through their own emotional upsetsClients dropping defenses that have blocked them from healing in the pastQuicker and higher rates of clients being able to terminate therapy with positive resultsComplete healing of specific target issues, sometimes in less than 1 hourThese concepts are based on how the human brain heals. What you need is a willingness to learn and to practice. Healing takes work, but it is possible.

This book demonstrates how psychological concepts/theories used in mental health can be used in conjunction with what the Bible teaches. The author uses portions of theory from Trauma-focused Cognitive Behavioral Theory, Client-Centered Therapy, Attachment Theory, Incredible Years, and Family Systems such as Minuchin and Bowen. The author uses relationships and characters from Scripture showing how certain dynamics in families or individuals can be addressed with interventions from secular theorists and supports these with Scripture. Although we are separated by time, space, culture, etc., it is important to understand that certain principles can still apply to individuals no matter when they lived or live in this world.

Experts from a range of disciplines assess the foundations and implications of a novel action-oriented view of cognition.

"Is our physical universe actually a virtual simulation that is thought into existence by consciousness? Noted astrophysicist, Bernard Haisch explores the frontiers of science, consciousness, and God, revolutionizing our understanding of the Universe and what's behind it all. Without consciousness there is nothing. Have you ever wondered why and how the world around you came to exist, and whether there might be an afterlife experience awaiting you after our physical bodies die? Might there actually be a God and a heaven of some sort? The hypothesis presented in this book is that our seemingly physical universe of matter and energy is a virtual simulation which is thought into existence by a universal consciousness which we call God. A reason for a universal consciousness to do such a thing could be to experience and evolve itself through the free will actions of its offspring. This would entail thinking into existence a virtual universe so as to interact with such a universe and each other. Literally everything is consciousness in action, resulting in a gigantic cosmic simulation. We and other creatures are offspring of this God consciousness. The Miracle of Our Universe explores the forefront of science and spirituality research including: Are near-death experiences real? What is the Zero-Point Field? What kind of being could God be? Is there some place that God could have come from? How does the Big Bang figure into this? It there an afterlife and what could it be like? What is the purpose of life? Is consciousness all there is? Is the Universe a virtual reality? Why is Hell impossible? "--

An exhilarating, genre-bending exploration of curiosity's powerful capacity to connect ideas and people.Curious about something? Google it. Look at it. Ask a question. But is curiosity simply information seeking? According to this exhilarating, genre-bending book, what's left out of the conventional understanding of curiosity are the wandering tracks, the weaving concepts, the knitting of ideas, and the thatching of knowledge systems-the networks, the relations between ideas and between people. Curiosity, say Perry Zurn and Dani Bassett, is a practice of connection: it connects ideas into networks of knowledge, and it connects knowers themselves, both to the knowledge they seek and to each other. Zurn and Bassett-identical twins who write that their book "e;represents the thought of one mind and two bodies"e;-harness their respective expertise in the humanities and the sciences to get irrepressibly curious about curiosity. Traipsing across literatures of antiquity and medieval science, Victorian poetry and nature essays, as well as work by writers from a variety of marginalized communities, they trace a multitudinous curiosity. They identify three styles of curiosity-the busybody, who collects stories, creating loose knowledge networks; the hunter, who hunts down secrets or discoveries, creating tight networks; and the dancer, who takes leaps of creative imagination, creating loopy ones. Investigating what happens in a curious brain, they offer an accessible account of the network neuroscience of curiosity. And they sketch out a new kind of curiosity-centric and inclusive education that embraces everyone's curiosity. The book performs the very curiosity that it describes, inviting readers to participate-to be curious with the book and not simply about it.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The author of The Comfort Crisis asks: Are we hardwired to crave more? From food and stuff to information and influence, why can’t we ever get enough?“Reveals the biological and evolutionary foundations behind your brain’s fixations, so you can stop seeking and start living.”—Melissa Urban, Whole30 CEO and author of The Book of Boundaries “Michael Easter’s genius is that he puts data around the edges of what we intuitively believe. His work has inspired many to change their lives for the better.”—Dr. Peter Attia, author of OutliveMichael Easter, author of The Comfort Crisis and one of the world’s leading experts on behavior change, shows that the problem isn’t you. The problem is your scarcity mindset, left over from our ancient ancestors. They had to constantly seek and consume to survive because vital survival tools like food, material goods, information, and power were scarce and hard to find. But with our modern ability to easily fulfill our ancient desire for more, our hardwired “scarcity brain” is now backfiring. And new technology and institutions—from dating and entertainment apps to our food and economic systems—are exploiting our scarcitybrain. They’re bombarding us with subversive “scarcitycues,” subtle triggers that lead us into low-reward cravings that hurt us in the long run. Scarcity cues can be direct and all-encompassing, like a sagging economy. Or they can be subtle and slight, like our neighbor buying a shiny new car.Easter traveled the world to consult with remarkable innovators and leading scientists who are finding surprising solutions for our scarcity brain. He discovered simple tactics that can move us towards an abundance mindset, cement healthy habits, and allow us to live our lives to the fullest and appreciate what we have, including how to:• Detect hidden scarcity cues to stop cravings before they start, from a brilliant slot machine designer in a Las Vegas casino laboratory• Turn alone time into the ultimate happiness hack, from artisanal coffee-making Benedictine monks• Reignite your exploration gene for a more exciting and fulfilling life, from an astronaut onboard the International Space Station• Reframe how we think about and fix addiction and bad habits, from Iraq’s chief psychiatrist• Recognize when you have enough, from a woman who left a million-dollar career path to adventure the worldOur world is overloaded with everything we’re built to crave. The fix for scarcity brain isn’t to blindly aim for less. It’s to understand why we crave more in the first place, shake our worst habits, and use what we already have better. Then we can experience life in a new way—a more satisfying way.
