our books on the human braindiscover the world inside your head

These days we find ourselves increasingly concerned about reaching our full potential and understanding ourselves better to lead a more meaningful and happier life. Since psychology is a gateway to self-comprehension, as well as the human mind and its functions, its no wonder why it is one of the most popular genres in bookstores today. If you venture into Asia Books Psychology section, youll find at least four different groups of books that you can benefit from.

First, there are books on how to get the most out of your brain. The chapters of the bestseller Brain Rules: 12 Principles for Surviving and Thriving at Work, Home, and School by molecular biologist Dr. John Media, explain what brain scientists know for certain about how our brains work like the fact that physical activity gets our brains working at their best and that memories are volatile. We also have, available for the first time ever in English, Estanislao Bacharachs The Agile Mind: How Your Brain Makes Creativity Happen. This publishing sensation reveals that, contrary to popular belief, creativity does not diminish over time and shows us how with the right techniques we can all become more creative! Getting the most out of your brain also involves ridding your mind of the idea that some people are just born gifted. Peak: Secrets from the New Science of Expertise by Anders Ericson & Robert Pool proves that the individuals we once

thought of as truly exceptional gained their special abilities through training and that we are all born with the same unique ability to develop our brains and bodies through our own efforts. Through books like these, youll discover how much you can achieve.

The second book group Id like to share with you is the key to making better decisions by first understanding how we think and behave. Theres the New York Times bestseller Thinking, Fast and Slow by Nobel-Prize winning Daniel Kahneman that provides clarity on the two ways we make decisions: fast, intuitive thinking and slow, rational thinking. Youll learn how our minds are affected by error and prejudice plus how to think more slowly and smarter. Youll also benefit from Philip E.Tetlock and Dan Gardners Superforecasting: The Art and Science of Prediction. Everything we do involves forecasts about the future, but were not very good at it. Superforecastings co-authors offer sensational insight gained from people extraordinarily talented at predicting future outcomes that can in turn help us forecast better. And did you know, despite the belief we make choices based solely on our individual tastes and opinions, other peoples behavior actually hugely influences everything we do? Sometimes we conform, but other times we purposefully opt for the opposite of what many others choose. This social influence is detailed in Jonah Bergers Invisible Influence: The Hidden Forces that Shape Behavior. These are just a few of the titles with which you can take better control of your own decision making.

Next, you can read some fabulous titles to figure out how to rewire your brain for the better. Look for Charles Duhiggs bestseller The Power of Habit: Why We Do What We Do, and How to Change. Duhigg shares thrilling scientific discoveries explaining the reason for habits and how to change them thus transforming your life. Plus, have you ever come out of a situation with regret that you let your fear get the better of you, wishing youd handled it better and that you could do it all over again? In Presence: Bringing Your Boldest Self to Your Biggest Challenges, author Amy Cuddy presents the enthralling science underlying fascinating body-mind effects and teaches us how to use simple methods to free ourselves from high-pressure fear so we can do our best. To develop stronger brain power youll need to be passionate enough about it and keep at it enough to come out on top. Angela Duckworth discusses this in her bestseller Grit: The Power of Passion and Perseverance. Duckworth shares her research to reveal valuable insight including how your effort counts twice toward your goal and how to learn grit. And there are plenty other titles with insight on how to rewire your brain.

If all that is not enough to satisfy your thirst for knowledge and understanding on psychology, then I suggest yet one more worthy selection of titles. These are none other than reference books that will make learning more on psychology and harnessing the power of the human brain easier and more convenient. On our Asia Books shelves youll see titles like Psych 101: Psychology Facts, Basics, Statistics, Tests, and More! by Paul Kleinman, The Psychology Book by DK Publishing, Christian Jarretts 30-second Psychology: The 50 Most Thought-provoking Psychology Theories, Each Explained in Half a Minute, and also Psychology In Minutes: 200 Key Concepts Explained In An Instant by Marcus Weeks, just to name a few!

After absorbing all the information from our psychology section treasures, youll undoubtedly develop a deeper understanding of how your brain really works and how we think and behave. Equipped with this knowledge youll then be able to get the most out of your brain, make better decisions, and also rewire your brain for the better. And youll have a wealth of knowledge on your brain at your fingertips to delve into anytime you feel the urge. So heres to a brainier you!

9780575130722THE FiREMANBy JOE HILLTrade Paperback

Nobody knew where the virus came from. FOX News said it had been set loose by ISIS, using spores that had been invented by the Russians in the 1980s. MSNBC said sources indicated it might've been created by engineers at Halliburton and stolen by culty Christian types fixated on the Book of Revelation. CNN reported both sides. While every TV station debated the cause, the world burnt. Pregnant school nurse, HARPER GRAYSON, had seen lots of people burn on TV, but the first person she saw burn for real was in the playground behind the school. With the epic scope of THE PASSAGE and the emotional impact of THE ROAD, this is one woman's story of survival at the end of the world.

9781473626836SLADE HOUSEBy DAVID MITCHELLPaperback

Born out of David Mitchells 2014 short story published on Twitter, this book is perfect for a stormy night. Turn down dank Slade Alley. Find the small black iron door. Enter the sunlit garden of an old house, too grand for the shabby neighbourhood. Youre invited inside. At first, you won't want to leave. Later, you'll find you can't. This unnerving tale begins in 1979 and reaches its turbulent conclusion around Halloween 2015. Every nine years a 'guest' is summoned to Slade House. Why and by whom? The answers lie in the long attic, at the top of the stairs...

9780349007298THE HEART GOES LASTBy MARGARET ATWOODPaperback

Stan and Charmaine are a married couple trying to stay afloat in the midst of economic and social collapse. Living in their car, surviving on tips from Charmaine's job at a dive bar, they're increasingly vulnerable to roving gangs and in a rather desperate state. So when they see an advertisement for the Positron Project in the town of Consilience - a 'social experiment' offering stable jobs and a home of their own - they sign up immediately. All they have to do in return for this suburban paradise is give up their freedom every second month, swapping their home for a prison cell. At first, all is well. But slowly, unknown to the other, Stan and Charmaine develop a passionate obsession with their counterparts, the couple that occupy their home when they are in prison. Soon the pressures of conformity, mistrust, guilt and sexual desire take over, and Positron looks less like a prayer answered and more like a chilling prophecy fulfilled.

9780008168216TRiBE: ON HOMEcOMiNG AND BELONGiNGBy SEBASTIAN JUNGERTrade Paperback

Tribe looks at post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and the challenges veterans face returning home. A puzzling fact about veterans with PTSD is the majority never saw combat yet feel deeply alienated back home. Author Sebastian Junger argues the reason may be our natural inclination towards interdependence for safety and meaning: in short, a soldiers life. A modern-age irony is that as societys affluence rises, peoples dependence on one another lessens and life becomes lonelier thus leading to increased suicide, depression and PTSD. Modern society can reverse this trend and studying veterans reactions to coming home may provide clues.

SiLk ROADS: A NEW HiSTORY OF THE WORLDBy PETER FRANKOPANPaperback

For centuries, fame and fortune was to be found in the west. Today, the east calls out to those searching for adventure and riches. The region stretching from eastern Europe and sweep-ing right across Central Asia into China and India is taking centre stage and shaping the modern world. Mostly obscure to the English-speaking world, this region is where civilization and the worlds great religions began and where empires were won and lost. A major world history reassessment, The Silk Roads discusses the forces that have shaped the global economy and the political renaissance in the re-emerging east.

9781780225654A MiLLiON YEARS iN A DAY: A cURiOUS HiSTORY OF DAiLY LiFEBy GREG JENNERPaperback

Every day, from the moment our alarm clock wakes us in the morning until our head hits our pillow at night, we all take part in rituals that are millennia old. In this gloriously entertaining romp through human history, BBC Horrible Histories consultant Greg Jenner explores the hidden stories behind these daily routines. This is not a story of politics, wars or great events, instead Greg Jenner has scoured Roman rubbish bins, Egyptian tombs and Victorian sewers to bring us the most intriguing, surprising and sometimes downright silly nuggets from our past. It is a history of all those things you always wondered - and many you have never considered. It is the story of our lives, one million years in the making.9780099594994
