Do Humankind's Best Days Lie Ahead

Oneworld Publications 2016 Paperback, 128pp. From the Enlightenment onwards, the West has had an enduring belief that through the evolution of institutions, innovations, and ideas, the human condition is improving. This process is supposedly accelerating as new technologies, individual freedoms, and the spread of global norms empower individuals and societies around the world. But is progress inevitable? Its critics argue that human civilization has become different, not better, over the last two and a half centuries. What is seen as a breakthrough or innovation in one period becomes a setback or limitation in another. In short, progress is an ideology not a fact; a way of thinking about the world as opposed to a description of reality. So is the cup half full or half empty?. (ISBN: 9781786070760). Good.

Jeder kennt sie: Momente, in denen wir denken, ohne zu denken.Wir nennen sie Intuition oder Bauchgefühl.

Er zeigt, wie unser Gehirn in Blink!-Momenten abgespeicherte Erfahrungen aktiviert, wie wir diese Kunst erlernen und bewusster nutzen können: In der Liebe Im Job Beim Einkaufen Bei Entscheidungsprozessen aller Art Denn manchmal können zwei Sekunden ein ganzes Leben verändern … Autor: Malcolm Gladwell, Jahrgang 1963, wurde in England geboren und wuchs in Kanada auf.

Blink: the Power of Thinking Without Thinking

2007 Paperback. Trust your instincts. Don't think - blink. An art expert sees a ten-million-dollar sculpture and in a flash realises it is fake. A fire-fighter makes a split-second decision to get out of a blazing building just before it collapses. A marriage analyst studies a fifteen-minute video of a couple and accurately predicts whether they will stay together. A police officer reads a life-or-death situation in the heat of the moment. A speed dater suddenly clicks with the right person. Blink is all about those moments when we 'know' something without really knowing why, and how this ability is one of the most powerful we possess. (ISBN: 9780316010665). Good.
