Is today's fast-paced media culture creating a toxic environment for our children's brains? In this landmark, bestselling assessment tracing the roots of America's escalating crisis in education, Jane M. Healy, Ph.D., examines how television, video games, and other components of popular culture compromise our children's ability to concentrate and to absorb and analyze information. Drawing on neuropsychological research and an analysis of current educational practices, Healy presents in clear, understandable language: -- How growing brains are physically shaped by experience -- Why television programs -- even supposedly educational shows like Sesame Street -- develop "habits of mind" that place children at a disadvantage in school -- Why increasing numbers of children are diagnosed with attention deficit disorder -- How parents and teachers can make a critical difference by making children good learners from the day they are born

The 2022 Porchlight Marketing and Sales Book of the Year A brain-bending investigation of why some people never change their minds—and others do in an instant—by the bestselling author of You Are Not So Smart What made a prominent conspiracy-theorist YouTuber finally see that 9/11 was not a hoax? How do voter opinions shift from neutral to resolute? Can widespread social change only take place when a generation dies out? From one of our greatest thinkers on reasoning, HOW MINDS CHANGE is a book about the science, and the experience, of transformation. When self-delusion expert and psychology nerd David McRaney began a book about how to change someone’s mind in one conversation, he never expected to change his own. But then a diehard 9/11 Truther’s conversion blew up his theories—inspiring him to ask not just how to persuade, but why we believe, from the eye of the beholder. Delving into the latest research of psychologists and neuroscientists, HOW MINDS CHANGE explores the limits of reasoning, the power of groupthink, and the effects of deep canvassing. Told with McRaney’s trademark sense of humor, compassion, and scientific curiosity, it’s an eye-opening journey among cult members, conspiracy theorists, and political activists, from Westboro Baptist Church picketers to LGBTQ campaigners in California—that ultimately challenges us to question our own motives and beliefs. In an age of dangerous conspiratorial thinking, can we rise to the occasion with empathy? An expansive, big-hearted journalistic narrative, HOW MINDS CHANGE reaches surprising and thought-provoking conclusions, to demonstrate the rare but transformative circumstances under which minds can change.

The power of the subconscious is way beyond positive thinking... It is believing. The reason why it can bring you to success is that the subconscious part of the brain can enable you to aspire, believe that aspiration, and eventually allowing your "believing" makes your aspiration come true. To give you better understanding regarding this matter, Read along. Your subconscious mind, if you would only allow it, can bring you great riches, abundant happiness or just about anything you can imagine and that's a fact. The reason for this is that your subconscious is essentially the "inner you" and it never sleeps, for if it did sleep your body would cease to function and die. Your subconscious not only regulates your breathing but keeps every organ in your body functioning and doing its job to keep you alive. As well as that, your subconscious is also responsible for habitual behaviors and learned skills. The key to controlling the subconscious mind is in knowing that before any skill or habit is accepted by it, they must first pass through the conscious mind. Habits and skills as well as fears and many other thoughts are submitted to the subconscious mind through constant repetition and emotional content, which is attached to the thought. Babies learn in this manner, as they are growing up they attempt to master new skills and fail perhaps hundreds of times before they finally learn and the skill becomes second nature to them. Due to the repetition, the subconscious mind is able to take over and from that point on we say the skill has become "second nature" to us. We are just learning to use the powers of the subconscious mind. We are just beginning to understand and use it. We are on the brink of further and fuller developments. But what we already know we must use in order to come to greater things. This book gives detailed understanding about subconscious mind, Power of and ways to make use of it to be successful. In this book you will discover: What Subconscious Mind Is What Happens Inside Your Subconscious Mind? Benefits Of The Subconscious Mind Receiving Communication From Your Subconscious Mind. Your Subconscious Mind Is The Achievement Partner Ways To Training Your Subconscious Mind To Get What You Want Steps Toward Controling Your Subconscious Mind Advanced Thinking. The Power of Positive Thinking What's Positive Thinking? How To Make Use Of Power Of Positive Thinking And many more...
