HOW TO FIX A BROKEN HEART

HOW TO FIX A BROKEN HEART

₹299

Imagine if we treated broken hearts with the same respect and concern we have for broken arms? Psychologist Guy Winch urges us to rethink the way we deal with emotional pain, offering warm, wise, and witty advice for the broken-hearted.Real heartbreak is unmistakable. We think of nothing else. We feel nothing else. We care about nothing else. Yet while we wouldn’t expect someone to return to daily activities immediately after suffering a broken limb, heartbroken people are expected to function normally in their lives, despite the emotional pain they feel. Now psychologist Guy Winch imagines how different things would be if we paid more attention to this unique emotion—if only we can understand how heartbreak works, we can begin to fix it.Through compelling research and new scientific studies, Winch reveals how and why heartbreak impacts our brain and our behavior in dramatic and unexpected ways, regardless of our age. Emotional pain lowers our ability to reason, to think creatively, to problem solve, and to function at our best. In How to Fix a Broken Heart he focuses on two types of emotional pain—romantic heartbreak and the heartbreak that results from the loss of a cherished pet. These experiences are both accompanied by severe grief responses, yet they are not deemed as important as, for example, a formal divorce or the loss of a close relative. As a result, we are often deprived of the recognition, support, and compassion afforded to those whose heartbreak is considered more significant.Our heart might be broken, but we do not have to break with it. Winch reveals that recovering from heartbreak always starts with a decision, a determination to move on when our mind is fighting to keep us stuck. We can take control of our lives and our minds and put ourselves on the path to healing. Winch offers a toolkit on how to handle and cope with a broken heart and how to, eventually, move on.

A Mind For Numbers

A Mind For Numbers

₹600

Whether you are a student struggling to fulfill a math or science requirement, or you are embarking on a career change that requires a higher level of math competency, A Mind for Numbers offers the tools you need to get a better grasp of that intimidating but inescapable field. Engineering professor Barbara Oakley knows firsthand how it feels to struggle with math. She flunked her way through high school math and science courses, before enlisting in the army immediately after graduation. When she saw how her lack of mathematical and technical savvy severely limited her options—both to rise in the military and to explore other careers—she returned to school with a newfound determination to re-tool her brain to master the very subjects that had given her so much trouble throughout her entire life. In A Mind for Numbers, Dr. Oakley lets us in on the secrets to effectively learning math and science—secrets that even dedicated and successful students wish they’d known earlier. Contrary to popular belief, math requires creative, as well as analytical, thinking. Most people think that there’s only one way to do a problem, when in actuality, there are often a number of different solutions—you just need the creativity to see them. For example, there are more than three hundred different known proofs of the Pythagorean Theorem. In short, studying a problem in a laser-focused way until you reach a solution is not an effective way to learn math. Rather, it involves taking the time to step away from a problem and allow the more relaxed and creative part of the brain to take over. A Mind for Numbers shows us that we all have what it takes to excel in math, and learning it is not as painful as some might think!

고교 시절 촉망받는 야구선수였던 저자는 연습 중 동료의 야구 배트에 얼굴을 정통으로 강타당하는 큰 사고를 당했다. 이 사고로 얼굴 뼈가 30조각이 났고, 왼쪽 눈이 튀어나와 실명 위기까지 왔으며, 심정지가 세 번이나 일어났다. 걸을 수조차 없었던 저자는 절망에 빠지는 대신 지금 당장 할 수 있는 아주 작은 일이라도 찾아 그것을 반복하자고 마음먹는다. 그 후 매일 걷기 연습을 해서 6개월 만에 운동을 할 수 있게 되었고, 6년 후에는 대학 최고 남자 선수가 되었다. 이 경험을 바탕으로 그는 자신을 인생의 나락에서 구해준 ‘아주 작은 습관의 힘’을 전 세계에 알리는 최고의 자기계발 전문가가 되었다. 이 책은 저자의 생생한 경험과 생물학, 뇌과학, 심리학의 최신 연구 결과를 집약해서 습관 하나로 인생을 변화시킬 수 있는 노하우를 제시한다. 만약 당신이 ‘새해에 운동을 해야지’라고 결심을 했다면 저자의 관점에서 이 목표는 실패할 수밖에 없다. 왜냐하면 습관을 만들기 위해서는 결심이 분명해야 하고(제1법칙), 매력적이어야 하며(제2법칙), 쉬워야 하고(제3법칙), 만족스러워야 하기(제4법칙) 때문이다. 위의 결심은 여기에 단 한 가지도 해당되지 않는다. 정말 변화할 수 있는 습관을 만들기 위해서 당신의 방법은 완전히 달라져야 한다. 이 책에서는 이 네 가지 법칙을 바탕으로 어떻게 하면 빠르고, 효율적이고, 확실하게 변화할 수 있는지 알려준다. 금연, 다이어트에서부터 비즈니스에서 탁월한 성과를 이뤄내기까지, 저자가 제안하는 방법으로 매일 조금씩 좋은 습관을 만든다면 무엇을 결심하든 원하는 것을 얻을 것이다.

How We Got to Now

How We Got to Now

₹250 ₹699
64% off

From the New York Times–bestselling author of Where Good Ideas Come From and Everything Bad Is Good for You, a new look at the power and legacy of great ideas. In this illustrated volume, Steven Johnson explores the history of innovation over centuries, tracing facets of modern life (refrigeration, clocks, and eyeglass lenses, to name a few) from their creation by hobbyists, amateurs, and entrepreneurs to their unintended historical consequences. Filled with surprising stories of accidental genius and brilliant mistakes—from the French publisher who invented the phonograph before Edison but forgot to include playback, to the Hollywood movie star who helped invent the technology behind Wi-Fi and Bluetooth—How We Got to Now investigates the secret history behind the everyday objects of contemporary life.   In his trademark style, Johnson examines unexpected connections between seemingly unrelated fields: how the invention of air-conditioning enabled the largest migration of human beings in the history of the species—to cities such as Dubai or Phoenix, which would otherwise be virtually uninhabitable; how pendulum clocks helped trigger the industrial revolution; and how clean water made it possible to manufacture computer chips. Accompanied by a major six-part television series on PBS, How We Got to Now is the story of collaborative networks building the modern world, written in the provocative, informative, and engaging style that has earned Johnson fans around the globe.

The Subtle Art Of Not Giving A F*uck

The Subtle Art Of Not Giving A F*uck

₹490

New York Times BestsellerIn this generation-defining self-help guide, a superstar blogger cuts through the crap to show us how to stop trying to be "positive" all the time so that we can truly become better, happier people.For decades, we’ve been told that positive thinking is the key to a happy, rich life. "F**k positivity," Mark Manson says. "Let’s be honest, shit is f**ked and we have to live with it." In his wildly popular Internet blog, Manson doesn’t sugarcoat or equivocate. He tells it like it is—a dose of raw, refreshing, honest truth that is sorely lacking today. The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F**k is his antidote to the coddling, let’s-all-feel-good mindset that has infected American society and spoiled a generation, rewarding them with gold medals just for showing up.Manson makes the argument, backed both by academic research and well-timed poop jokes, that improving our lives hinges not on our ability to turn lemons into lemonade, but on learning to stomach lemons better. Human beings are flawed and limited—"not everybody can be extraordinary, there are winners and losers in society, and some of it is not fair or your fault." Manson advises us to get to know our limitations and accept them. Once we embrace our fears, faults, and uncertainties, once we stop running and avoiding and start confronting painful truths, we can begin to find the courage, perseverance, honesty, responsibility, curiosity, and forgiveness we seek.There are only so many things we can give a f**k about so we need to figure out which ones really matter, Manson makes clear. While money is nice, caring about what you do with your life is better, because true wealth is about experience. A much-needed grab-you-by-the-shoulders-and-look-you-in-the-eye moment of real-talk, filled with entertaining stories and profane, ruthless humor, The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F**k is a refreshing slap for a generation to help them lead contented, grounded lives.
