Uncomfortable Situations

eBook Download

BOOK EXCERPT:

Mixed feelings, Daniel Gross reminds us, are at the heart of Jane Austen's novel, Sense and Sensibility. We think we know what "mixed feelings" means, like a recipe: combine two parts a feeling like gratitude, one part happiness, a dash of resentment, and you get something like Elinor. But mixed feelings in the novel and beyond, Gross insists, are poorly served by this dis-equilibrium model; in fact mixed feelings are a matter of negotiated circumstances where feelings may be at odds as they converge on character. Hence the significance of literature and particularly the sentimental novel as a cross-disciplinary research domain, where this kind of rhetorical situation is exquisitely detailed. Gross gets considerable play out of Jane Austin as one of his research arenas, while at the same time referencing the sciences of situated emotion and behavioral economics to offer a new way of understanding mixed feelings as rhetorically situated. While that is but one thrust among several here, Gross explores at the same time a methodological opportunity at the interface of science and the humanities, beyond recent work in "Cognitive Approaches to Literature," which as he sees it tends to proceed unecologically (uncontextually) toward theory of mind. In contrast to his previous landmark study The Secret History of Emotion, here Gross carves out a space for cross-disciplinary work on emotion with a "situated emotion" critique of the basic emotions program, a "situated cognition" critique of computational psychology, and a critique of evolutionary psychology from many angles including cognitive scientific. The outcome is collaborative work across the sciences and humanities, where uncomfortable situations provide a paradigm for study. New insight into brain-body-world dynamics may yet arise from experiments in neuroscience and the situational concerns of the humanities, and the two-cultures divide may dissolve when shared phenomena like human emotions are treated with the diversity of methods and cross-disciplinary conversation their complexity deserves.

BOOK EXCERPT:

DANNY WALLACE IS A MAN. But what does it actually mean to be a man in the 21st century? A toe-curling moment, an embarrassing faux-pas or a bewildering social situation is always just round the corner. Danny, for example, always says the wrong thing about a friend's baby; has his party gate-crashed by a minor celebrity; and even discovers the pleasures of wearing pyjamas (exciting isn't it!). He breaks all the rules; hides a pastry; accidentally spits on someone; tricks Su Pollard; and (we've all been there) avoids his old hairdresser. And then there are the times when he has an argument with a bishop; experiences stage fright in the men's room; gets his wife a treat; and (eventually) helps a lady who has accidentally got her skirt all hitched up. As we follow a year in his life - and it becomes obvious to the attentive reader that here is a man who finds it a challenge to even look after himself properly - an even greater responsibility looms on the horizon... Once you have read this book you will see Awkward Situations everywhere you go and life will never be the same again. And, it's very, very funny.

Introduction To Omegle

BOOK EXCERPT:

Omegle is an online chat website that was created in 2009 by Leif K-Brooks. The website's tagline is "Talk to Strangers!" It allows users to have anonymous and random one-on-one conversations with strangers from all over the world. The website's popularity skyrocketed, and in 2010, it underwent a major redesign to make it more user-friendly. Omegle can be accessed through a web browser and requires no registration to use. The website pairs users randomly with each other and offers two conversation modes: text and video. The text mode allows users to communicate through messages, whereas, video mode enables users to see and talk to each other through a live webcam feed. Omegle has been controversial as it has been used for cyberbullying and inappropriate behavior. Despite the risks, Omegle still receives millions of users every month, and many find it a convenient way to meet new people.

The Psychology Of The Brain

eBook Download

BOOK EXCERPT:

The Most Important Knowledge and Findings The central ideas behind the books on brain psychology and linguistic brain therapy are aimed at helping psychologists, psychiatrists, therapists, health workers, family members, and clients gain knowledge and methods to reduce or eliminate mental disorders. This leads to a better life for clients and more secure, satisfied therapists. Therapists and psychologists who achieve good results can confidently continue their treatment as before, while gaining a scientific understanding of the mental changes in their clients as they improve from the treatment. Therapists who are not as successful can now acquire scientifically grounded knowledge on how to achieve better outcomes. Family members will gain knowledge about mental disorders, enabling them to more effectively help their children. Those suffering from mental disorders can acquire knowledge and techniques that can alleviate their condition and create a life with less mental pain. These goals are achievable because the books on brain psychology and linguistic brain therapy contain scientific knowledge about the mental constructs that anchor and trigger mental distress or well-being. They also provide insights into how to protect against mental pain and manage it in the best possible way." The Significance of Research Early in my therapeutic practice, several clients achieved amazing results that psychology could not explain. This led to the initiation of an extensive research project. The research was met with skepticism, as many believed it was impossible to investigate what After 9 years of analyzing mental processes in clients, I discovered how mental disorders are mentally constructed and the mental changes clients experience when they improve from treatment. One conclusion was that all mental disorders can be cured using words, though it may take time. These findings represented a solution to challenges that psychology and psychiatry had been trying to solve for over 150 years. Significant Discoveries: I found that mental disorders are mentally constructed more simply than previously believed by researchers, psychologists, and psychiatrists. It is possible to investigate mental processes leading to mental distress and the experience of mental distress solely through words. Mental well-being and mental disorders are constructed of the same mental or mental-biological material, and in the same manner, allowing the same methods to be used to treat mental disorders such as anxiety, depression, and schizophrenia, as well as to develop mental well-being and skills." "I Now Know for Sure I am now certain that knowledge of brain psychology and linguistic therapy can lead those with mental distress to take more control over their emotions and mental problems. Additionally, psychologists and health workers can treat clients with greater scientific certainty and predictability, achieving faster and better results. The most reliable evidence of this includes success stories from clients, comments from international scientific journals, and observations from colleagues who have observed my work with students' mental distress over many years. After 30 years of research and treating more than 1000 clients, I am convinced that linguistic brain therapy not only helps individuals but also enables those who have studied the books to help others, whether as clients, parents, leaders, trainers, or other psychologists. For more information, visit the website: www.brainpsychology.pro." "Simple, but not Easy The book 'Linguistic Brain Therapy' explains how to treat clients in a way that helps them become mentally stronger, feel better about themselves, and more effectively take control of their lives. "The Books Offer the Necessary Knowledge The book on the Psychology of the Brain provides the essential knowledge needed to understand what happens mentally during the development of mental disorders. 'Linguistic Brain Therapy', based on Brain Psychology knowledge, guides therapists, consultants, leaders, parents, and health workers on how to treat clients and assist both themselves and others. For more information, you can read my doctoral dissertation on mental distress and mental change, available at the University Library in Oslo. Are These Claims True? The books on brain psychology and linguistic brain therapy are the strongest evidence supporting the claims mentioned above. Practical evidence like success stories from clients, and research findings will be shared on my websites in the future: www.brainpsychology.pro If you are facing mental challenges, whether as a scientist, someone experiencing mental distress, an athlete, as a health worker or in any other role where you feel you are not coping well, you may explore brain psychology and linguistic therapy for help. These books can provide you and others with a better life for many years. The books focus on positive emotions , on mental resources, and how the clients can cope better with mental disorders, and on how to treat light mental disorders and more heavy mental ailments.
