Sway : unravelling unconscious bias / by Agarwal, Pragya,author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index.Section I. Hardwired -- Gut instinct ; The dawn of time ; All in your head -- Section II. Smoke and mirrors -- Back in your box ; Bobbsey twins ; Hindsight is 20/20 -- Section III. Sex type-cast -- Sugar and spice ; It's not black and white ; Swipe right for a match ; I hear you, I say -- Section IV. Moral conundrum -- I'd blush if I could ; Good intentions -- Epilogue: De-biasing 101.Experiments have shown that our brains categorize people by race in less than one-tenth of a second, about 50 milliseconds before determining sex. This means that we are labelling people by race and associating certain characteristics to them without even hearing them speak or getting to know them. This subtle cognitive process starts in the amygdala, the area of the brain associated with strong emotions. Does this mean that unconscious biases are hardwired into our brains as an evolutionary response, or do they emerge from assimilating information that we see around us? In Sway, author Pragya Agarwal uncovers the science behind our ùnintentional' biases. Using real world stories underpinned by scientific theories and research, this book unravels the way our unconscious biases are affecting the way we communicate, make decisions and perceive the world. A wide range of implicit biases are covered, including age-ism, sexism and aversive racism, and by using research and theories from a wide range of disciplines, including social science, psychology, biology and neuroscience, readers learn how these biases manifest and whether there is anything we can do about them. This book encourages readers to think, understand and evaluate their own biases in a scientific and non-judgmental way.

I heard there was a secret chord : music as medicine / by Levitin, Daniel J.,author.(CARDINAL)667827;
Includes bibliographical references (pages [344]-383) and index.A musical species -- If I only had a brain : the neuroanatomy of music -- Oh, the shark bites : musical memory -- Look at me now : attention -- Daydream believer : the brain's "default mode," introspection, and meditation -- Interlude -- Music, movement, and movement disorders -- Parkinson's disease -- Trauma -- Mental health -- Memory loss, dementia, Alzheimer's disease, and stroke -- Pain -- Neurodevelopmental disorders -- Learning how to fly -- Music in everyday life -- Fate knocking on your door : précis to a theory of musical meaning -- Music medicine, mystery, and possibility."Neuroscientist and New York Times bestselling author of This Is Your Brain on Music Daniel J. Levitin reveals how the deep connections between music and the human brain can be harnessed for healing. Music is perhaps one of humanity's oldest medicines as well as its most universal: from China to the Ottoman Empire, Europe to Africa and pre-colonial South America, cultures have developed rich traditions for using sound and rhythm to ease suffering, spur healing, and calm the mind. Despite this history, musical therapy has long been considered the remit of ancient practice and alternative medicine, if not outright quackery and pseudoscience. In the last decade, however, an overwhelming body of scientific evidence has emerged that persuasively argues music can offer profoundly effective treatment for a whole host of ailments, from Alzheimer's to PTSD, depression, pain, and cognitive injury. It is, in short, one of the most potent and remarkably promising new therapies available today. A work of dazzling ideas, cutting-edge research, and joyful celebration of the human mind, I Heard There Was a Secret Chord explores the critical role music has played in human evolution, illuminating how the story of the human brain is inseparable from the creative enterprise of music that has bound cultures together throughout history. Music insinuates itself into our earliest memories; it is intimately connected to our emotional regulation and cognition; its shared rhythms and sounds are essential to our social behaviors. As neuroscientist Daniel J. Levitin demonstrates in this mind-expanding follow-up to This Is Your Brain on Music--which revolutionized our understanding of the neuroscience of song--medical researchers are now finding that these same deep connections can be harnessed to create profound benefits for those both young and old."--

The shift : 7 powerful mindset changes for lasting weight loss / by Foster, Gary D.,1959-author.; Schnoor, Karolin,illustrator.;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 217-228).I'll lose weight by changing the way I think ; Shifting your mindset -- I must be kind to myself to lose weight ; Embracing self-compassion -- I see setbacks as opportunities to refocus ; Building helpful thinking styles -- I should take small steps for big results ; Setting goals and forming habits -- I need to enhance my best traits ; Leaning into your strengths -- I have to appreciate my body to lose weight ; Valuing your body -- I deserve to get the support I need ; Finding your people -- I can feel good now ; Experiencing happiness and gratitude."Gary Foster's The Shift is not about what to eat or not eat. It's not about when to eat. It's about building thinking habits, proven through science, that help you lose weight. Can you lose weight before you value your body? Are big goals needed to achieve big results? Do you deserve to go it alone because you got yourself into this? Is it possible for a weight loss journey to avoid setbacks? Must gratitude and happiness wait until you've succeeded at your wellness goal? No. To all of it. Dr. Foster's 7Mindset Shifts show you how-and why-to treat yourself in a way that feels better and primes you for likelier success. His argument and the techniques in each chapter, built on years of research and breakthroWeiughs in cognitive behavioral therapy and positive psychology, can lead to results on the scale-but, more important, in your own thinking. The Shift flips old-fashioned weight-loss theory on its head, training you to recognize when your thinking is taking you away from your goals, to focus on actionrather than outcome, and to value non-scale victories more than the number on the digital display. It's evidence-based motivation-and it really works! The 7 Mindset Shifts include learning to enhance the traits you like best about yourself, leaning into your strengths, appreciating the power of small steps (and more frequent reward), finding your people, and truly relaxing into happiness and gratitude. "Diet thinking" isn't habit-forming; mindset thinking is. And muscular yet kind mental habits, like theones found in The Shift, are key to permanent, positive change"--

This book serves as an educational resource for both groups"--."Understanding the needs and abilities of patrons who are differently abled increases librarians' ability to serve them from childhood through adulthood. While some librarians are fortunate to have had coursework to help them understand the needs and abilities of the differently abled, many have had little experience working with this diverse group. In addition, many persons who are differently abled are--or would like to become--librarians. Disabilities and the Library helps readers understand the challenges faced by people who are differently abled, both as patrons and as information professionals. Readers will learn to assess their library's physical facilities, programming, staff, and continuing education to ensure that their libraries are prepared to include people of all abilities. Inclusive programming and collection development suggestions will help librarians to meet the needs of patrons and colleagues with mobility and dexterity problems, learning differences, hearing and vision limitations, sensory and cognitive challenges, autism, and more. Additional information is included about assistive and adaptive technologies and web accessibility. Librarians will value this accessible and important book as they strive for equity and inclusivity"--

The assertiveness guide for women : how to communicate your needs, set healthy boundaries, & transform your relationships / by De Azevedo, Julie,author.(CARDINAL)838220;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 199-204)."Isn't it time you took a stand? Many women struggle with assertiveness, but if you're prone to anxiety and avoidance, it is especially difficult. Grounded in attachment theory, this essential guide will help you identify your thoughts and feelings, balance your emotions, communicate your needs, and set healthy boundaries to improve your life. When you're assertive, you're able to communicate your needs and wishes clearly while respecting yourself and anyone else involved in the interaction. But when youaren't assertive, you may stop yourself from saying anything when your needs aren't being met, or end up lashing out in hostile or hurtful ways. People with different attachment styles struggle with being assertive for different reasons, and even women with a secure attachment style may have difficulty expressing emotion when faced with challenging circumstances. Using strategies based in mindfulness, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), The Assertiveness Guide for Women can help you understand the attachment styles that keep you from asserting yourself. You'll learn about the three communication stances--from the passive Doormat to the aggressive (or passive-aggressive) Sword to the assertive Lantern--and find practical examples that show you how to apply your new communication and emotional awareness skills in your own life. Rather than being caught in a cycle of rumination and regret when you're unable to express yourself or even acknowledge your own needs, you'llbe ready to assert yourself and get what you want. Whether you're anxious and overwhelmed by the intensity of your emotions, avoidant and struggle to identify your emotions, or otherwise have difficulty expressing yourself, this book will help you becomemore aware of your own thoughts and feelings, and empower you to ask for what you need, set boundaries, and speak your truth for a more fulfilling life"--Includes bibliographical references.What Does It MEan to Be Assertive? -- Attachment, Emotions, and Assertiveness -- Barriers to Assertive Communication -- Self-Reflection: Exploring Your Relationship Patterns -- Self-Awareness: Identifying Emotions -- Self-Soothing: Mindfulness and Emotional Management -- Self-Expression: Doormat, Sword, and Lantern -- Self-Expression: Setting Strong Boundaries -- Self-Expansion: Holding the Lantern.
