Playing with reality : how games have shaped our world / by Clancy, Kelly(Neuroscientist),author.(CARDINAL)897037;

Includes bibliographical references (pages 309-347) and index.A wide-ranging intellectual history that reveals how important games have been to human progress, and what's at stake when we forget what games we're really playing. We play games to learn about the world, to understand our minds and the minds of others, and to make predictions about the future. Games are an essential aspect of humanity and a powerful tool for modeling reality. They're also a lot of fun. But games can be dangerous, especially when we mistake the model worlds of games for reality itself and let gamification co-opt human decision making. Playing with Reality explores the riveting history of games since the Enlightenment, weaving an unexpected path through military theory, political science, evolutionary biology, the development of computers and AI, cutting-edge neuroscience, and cognitive psychology. Neuroscientist and physicist Kelly Clancy shows how intertwined games have been with the arc of history. War games shaped the outcomes of real wars in nineteenth and twentieth century Europe. Game theory warped our understanding of human behavior and brought us to the brink of annihilation-yet still underlies basic assumptions in economics, politics, and technology design. We used games to teach computers how to learn for themselves, and now we are designing games that will determine the shape of society and future of democracy. In this revelatory new work, Clancy makes the bold argument that the human fascination with games is the key to understanding our nature and our actions

Scienceblind : why our intuitive theories about the world are so often wrong / by Shtulman, Andrew,author.(CARDINAL)415093;

Includes bibliographical references (pages 273-298) and index.Why we get the world wrong -- Intuitive theories of the physical world -- Matter: what is the world made of? How do those components interact? -- Energy: what makes something hot? What makes something loud? -- Gravity: what makes something heavy? What makes something fall? -- Motion: what makes objects move? What paths do moving objects take? -- Cosmos: what is the shape of our world? What is its place in the cosmos? -- Earth: why do continents drift? Why do climates change? -- Intuitive theories of the biological world -- Life: what makes us alive? What causes us to die? -- Growth: why do we grow bigger? Why do we grow older? -- Inheritance: why do we resemble our parents? Where did we get our traits? -- Illness: what makes us ill? How does illness spread? -- Adaptation: why are there so many life-forms? How do they change over time? -- Ancestry: where do species come from? How are they related? -- How to get the world right.Why do we catch colds? What causes seasons to change? And if you fire a bullet from a gun and drop one from your hand, which bullet hits the ground first? In a pinch we almost always get these questions wrong. Worse, we regularly misconstrue fundamental qualities of the world around us. In Scienceblind, cognitive and developmental psychologist Andrew Shtulman shows that the root of our misconceptions lies in the theories about the world we develop as children. They're not only wrong, they close our minds to ideas inconsistent with them, making us unable to learn science later in life. So how do we get the world right? We must dismantle our intuitive theories and rebuild our knowledge from its foundations. The reward won't just be a truer picture of the world, but clearer solutions to many controversies-around vaccines, climate change, or evolution-that plague our politics today.

The 20/20 diet : turn your weight loss vision into reality / by McGraw, Phillip C.,1950-(CARDINAL)653658;

In The 20/20 Diet, Dr. Phil McGraw identifies seven reasons other diets fail people over and over again: hunger, cravings, feeling of restriction, impracticality and expense, boredom, temptations, and disappointing results or plateaus. Then, he addresses each of these roadblocks by applying the latest research and theories that have emerged since his last best seller on the same topic, The Ultimate Weight Solution. Dr. Phil and his team have created a plan that you can start following right now and continue working for the rest of your life. In this diet, readers will start by eating only 20 key ingredients, called the "20/20 Foods," which theories indicate may help enhance your body's thermogenesis and help you feel full. But that's just the beginning. This book explains why you haven't been able to lose the weight before, and empowers you with cognitive, behavioral, environmental, social and nutritional tools so you can finally reach your goal, and learn lifelong healthy habits to maintain those results.

Conspirituality : how new age conspiracy theories became a health threat / by Beres, Derek,author.(CARDINAL)549260; Remski, Matthew D.,1971-author.(CARDINAL)872059; Walker, Julian(Podcaster),author.(CARDINAL)874091;

Learning from listeners ; Leaving enlightenment ; Remembering fey ; O father, where art thou? ; What we've been given."Conspirituality takes a deep dive into the troubling phenomenon of influencers who have curdled New Age spirituality and wellness with the politics of paranoia--peddling vaccine misinformation, tales of child trafficking, and wild conspiracy theories. In the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic, a disturbing social media trend emerged: a large number of yoga instructors and alt-health influencers were posting stories about a secretive global cabal bent on controlling the world's population with a genocidal vaccine. Instagram feeds that had been serving up green smoothie recipes and Mary Oliver poems became firehoses of Fox News links, memes from 4chan, and prophecies of global transformation. Since May 2020, Derek Beres, Matthew Remski and Julian Walker have used their Conspirituality podcast to expose countless facets of the intersection of alt-health practitioners with far-right conspiracy trolls. Now this expansive and revelatory book unpacks the follies, frauds, cons and cults that dominate the New Age and wellness spheres and betray the trust of people who seek genuine relief in this uncertain age. With analytical rigor and irreverent humor, Conspirituality offers an antidote to our times, helping readers recognize wellness grifts, engage with loved ones who've fallen under the influence, and counter lies and distortions with insight and empathy."--

The modern trauma toolkit : nurture your post-traumatic growth with personalized solutions / by Gibson, Christy,author.(CARDINAL)888503;

"In the midst of collective trauma, it helps us to know how our body is built to respond to stress and what we might try to shift those reflexes. The Modern Trauma Toolkit directly addresses that need. Having studied cognitive and somatic approaches to wellbeing while working in low-resource practice settings, Dr. Christy Gibson speaks to all facets of healing care and mental health. Building a vibrant community on TikTok, she is adept at sharing what she's learned about stress and coping with others, to embrace the innate power we all host and to catalyze community wisdom. The Modern Trauma Toolkit shares with readers how trauma happens in the body in an accessible and trauma informed way. It goes over new theories in brain biology like the polyvagal theory and epigenetics, explains how trauma changes our brains, and how they can be remodeled to achieve post traumatic growth. She describes the trauma in modern times and faced by communities placed at risk, but how their strengths can be harnessed. Dr. Gibson shares the best ways to move towards this emergence, through different therapies and activities that can be self taught"--An invitation to explore.
