¿Cómo reaccionamos ante las dificultades? ¿Cómo afrontamos los cambios y las incertidumbres que se suceden en la vida? ¿Cómo nos afecta lo desconocido? Las actitudes vitales que adoptamos frente a lo inesperado nacen en nuestro cerebro y al mismo tiempo lo condicionan. Son maneras de sentir y de actuar que influyen en la percepción que tenemos de nosotros mismos y en la relación con los demás.

A inteligência e a instrução acadêmica não apenas são incapazes de impedir nossos erros como podem nos tornar até mais vulneráveis a certos tipos de pensamento estúpido. As pessoas instruídas e inteligentes são menos inclinadas a aprender com seus erros ou a aceitar conselhos. E, quando erram, são mais capazes de criar argumentos elaborados que justifiquem seu racio­cínio. Embora esses fenômenos pareçam desconectados, alguns processos são comuns a todos eles: um padrão que vou chamar de “arma­dilha da inteligência”.

Does your dog get sad when you leave for the day? Does your cat purr because she loves you? Do bears attack when they’re angry? You can’t very well ask them. In fact, scientists haven’t been able to reach a consensus on whether animals even have emotions like humans do, let alone how to study them. Yet studies of animal emotion are critical for understanding human emotion and mental illness. In The Nature of the Beast, pioneering neuroscientist David J. Anderson describes a new approach to solving this problem.

The twenty-first-century psychotherapist can no longer be constrained by specific schools of practice or limited reservoirs of knowledge. In this single-volume learning resource, Richard Hill and Matthew Dahlitz introduce practitioners to the many elements that create our psychology. From basic neuroscience to body-brain systems and genetic processes, therapists will discover how to become more "response-able" to their clients. Topics include neurobiology, genetics, key therapeutic practices to treat depression, trauma, and other disorders; memory; mirror neurons and empathy, and more.

Professors and husband-and-wife team Uta and Chris Frith have pioneered major studies of brain disorders throughout their nearly 50-year career.

A quarter of a century after her memoir, Thinking in Pictures, forever changed how the world understood autism, Temple Grandin—the “anthropologist from Mars,” as Oliver Sacks dubbed her—transforms our awareness of the different ways our brains are wired. Do you have a keen sense of direction, a love of puzzles, the ability to assemble IKEA furniture without crying? You are likely a visual thinker.

To many, the brain is the seat of personal identity and autonomy. But the way we talk about the brain is often rooted more in mystical conceptions of the soul than in scientific fact. This blinds us to the physical realities of mental function. We ignore bodily influences on our psychology, from chemicals in the blood to bacteria in the gut, and overlook the ways that the environment affects our behavior, via factors varying from subconscious sights and sounds to the weather.

Leadership is a set of abilities with which a lucky few are born. They're the natural relationship builders, master negotiators and persuaders, and agile and strategic thinkers. The good news for the rest of us is that those abilities can be developed. In The Leader's Brain: Enhance Your Leadership, Build Stronger Teams, Make Better Decisions, and Inspire Greater Innovation with Neuroscience, Wharton Neuroscience Initiative Director Michael Platt explains how.

The Trouble with Trauma is the story of how the idea of psychological trauma appeals to the human mind. Trauma impacts many people psychologically, but the evidence on the long-term physical effect is incomplete.
