In this provocative book, Paul Glimcher argues that economic theory may provide an alternative to the classical Cartesian model of the brain and behavior. Glimcher argues that Cartesian dualism operates from the false premise that the reflex is able to describe behavior in the real world that animals inhabit. A mathematically rich cognitive theory, he claims, could solve the most difficult problems that any environment could present, eliminating the need for dualism by eliminating the need for a reflex theory. Such a mathematically rigorous description of the neural processes that connect sensation and action, he explains, will have its roots in microeconomic theory. Economic theory allows physiologists to define both the optimal course of action that an animal might select and a mathematical route by which that optimal solution can be derived. Glimcher outlines what an economics-based cognitive model might look like and how one would begin to test it empirically. Along the way, he presents a fascinating history of neuroscience. He also discusses related questions about determinism, free will, and the stochastic nature of complex behavior.

Professional relationships are one of the most common types of relationships that people struggle with. When you put more than one person into a room, there can be conflict. Expect it and be ready for it. If you find that two or more members of your team disagree on something, you need to resolve it because this will hold up results.

Описание: Conflict: How Soldiers Make Impossible Decisions is about making hard choices--where all outcomes are potentially negative. The authors draw on interviews conducted with soldiers about the situations they faced and the decisions they made at war. These are vivid and sometimes distressing stories. They form the data from which the authors explore the cognitive processes associated with choice, commitment to action and (sometimes) error, as well as goal directed thinking, innovation and courage. By referring to real cases, Conflict invites readers to consider their own responses under extreme circumstances and ask themselves how they would choose between difficult options. In doing so this book will go some way to helping readers understand what it feels like when choosing between least-worst decisions.

Or have you ever felt in a mental rut where nothing is new and exciting to think about?
If you are curious about any of these questions, this guide will give you the answers you have been searching for.
So many people have no idea what a mental model is - or that they control our lives.
Mental models are the mind's framework to help us make sense of the world, solve problems, and make informed decisions.
They are built with your education, past experiences, and habits of thought you create over time.
But did you know your mental models can go wrong?
And even be harmful to your life?
Harmful models come from biases or ill-formed beliefs, which can cause you to have low self-esteem, depression, and poor relationships.
Understanding how mental models work is the first step towards using models to make you function more efficiently, make better, more logic-based decisions, and use your mental energy more wisely.
In his influential 2011 book Thinking: Fast and Slow, Daniel Kahneman explains the two systems of thinking the brain has and why it uses mental models.
He reveals that while part of our thinking is slow, thoughtful, and requires effort, the other part of our brain wants to conserve energy, using mental models to build shortcuts and patterns to automate our thoughts.
