What if everything you believed about intelligence was wrong? Sigmund Freud once lamented "the distressing contrast between the radiant intelligence of the child and the feeble mentality of the average adult." It is a contrast that haunts us — a suspicion that somewhere between childhood wonder and adult routine, we misplaced the best of ourselves. But what if that lost intelligence is not gone at all? What if it is simply waiting to be reclaimed? Becoming More Intelligent begins with a proposition that neuroscience has quietly confirmed but that popular culture has been slow to accept: ...

Probably the most powerful thing you could learn is a new relationship with your own mind? Most of us move through our days on autopilot — reacting rather than choosing, assuming rather than questioning, repeating the same patterns and wondering why nothing changes. We invest in knowledge, techniques, tools. But we rarely stop to examine the instrument doing all the thinking. That instrument is you. And it is far less reliable — and far more improvable — than you have ever been taught. This is the premise at the heart of Cultivating Metacognition: A Primer, and it changes everything. ...

This book describes the basic principles of Buddhism. Much has been written about Buddhism and how to practice it. Readers will have no difficulty finding hundreds of books on the topic. This book simply focuses on the essence of Buddhism, as expressed in the Four Noble Truths and the Eight-fold Path. Buddhism is not a religion as such; it does not propose an external God. It does not seek to replace a person’s existing religious beliefs, only to supplement them. The Buddha, in all likelihood, would rather his followers describe themselves simply as Followers of The Way.

Welcome to Australian Slang, a richly-textured, often ribald world of laconic humour. This dictionary is a work-in-progress now in its 4th edition that aims to do three things; (a) help the traveller to decipher some of what they hear Australians saying, (b) give the casual reader some insight if not amusement at how we Aussies think and speak, and (c) record for posterity the many expressions that are slipping into disuse in the 21st Century. Along with the home-grown expressions, readers will recognize both British and American expressions in this dictionary. Australian English has ...

You wake at 3 a.m. with a mind that won't be still. The weight of a hundred small decisions, an inbox that never empties, relationships that demand more than you have left to give. You feel, somewhere beneath the noise, that there must be another way to move through the world — one that doesn't leave you hollow by Friday. You are right. And the monks who walked the mountain paths of ancient Japan knew it too. Zen Koans: Ancient Wisdom for Today is your invitation to find it. For over a thousand years, Zen masters have used the koan — a deceptively simple story, a question with no ...

The mind is everything. What you think, you become. So what, exactly, are you thinking? You already know that something is not quite right. The scrolling, the striving, the low-grade anxiety that hums beneath even your good days. You are not broken — you are simply operating without a map. The extraordinary news is that a map exists, and it is older than the oldest institution you can name. The Buddha walked out of a palace into the wilderness and returned with a set of insights so precise, so psychologically acute, that two and a half millennia have done nothing to blunt their edge. ...

Imagine the peace you've been searching for was never somewhere else — but always right here, waiting? Our world never stops accelerating — notifications pile up before breakfast, where anxiety masquerades as ambition and busyness is mistaken for purpose — millions of people sense that something essential has gone missing from their lives. Not success. Not comfort. Something deeper. A felt connection to themselves, to others, to the living world around them. If you've ever stood in a crowd and felt profoundly alone, or woken at 3 a.m. with a mind that simply will not quiet, you ...

Assertiveness is a zone on the spectrum of human behaviour that lies between Passivity and Aggression. This book shows you how to find that zone, that sweet-spot; not always an easy thing to do.

STOP BORROWING OTHER PEOPLE’S THINKING. Most people believe they think for themselves. The evidence suggests otherwise. Every day, without knowing it, we inherit conclusions we never tested, accept constraints we never questioned, and navigate the most important decisions of our lives by pattern-matching them against what someone else did before us. In business, in careers, in relationships — we mistake familiarity for truth. It works, until the moment it catastrophically doesn’t. There is a better way. It is 2,400 years old. And it has never been more urgently needed. WHAT IF YOU ...
