When we are born into this life, we are raised with certain ideas. And, whatever ideas, suggestions, and training we are raised with, we always have to decide if we will accept what is before us or decide otherwise. Without any ideas in our head, we are simply a 'view,' an awareness, which may sound strange to the Literally Educated Senses, but this is what we are. The RealU, is simply Your RealAwareness. The religious term would be 'soul.' But, the reality of 'soul' has always escaped the understanding of the over-educated Literal Person, as they have conditioned themselves into viewing and looking to their mind and all the facts and figures they have accumulated, instead of their RealAwareness. In a way, we must take steps to Recognizing who we really are, and one of those first steps is educating ourselves in the Literal Sense, but if we stop there, then that is all we will ever know about The Whole of Life, which is far more than one's imagination can handle. www.DuaneTheGreatWriter.Info

The first book to use the unexpected discoveries of neuroscience to help us make the best decisions Since Plato, philosophers have described the decision-making process as either rational or emotional: we carefully deliberate, or we “blink” and go with our gut. But as scientists break open the mind’s black box with the latest tools of neuroscience, they’re discovering that this is not how the mind works. Our best decisions are a finely tuned blend of both feeling and reason—and the precise mix depends on the situation. When buying a house, for example, it’s best to let our unconscious mull over the many variables. But when we’re picking a stock, intuition often leads us astray. The trick is to determine when to use the different parts of the brain, and to do this, we need to think harder (and smarter) about how we think. Jonah Lehrer arms us with the tools we need, drawing on cutting-edge research as well as the real-world experiences of a wide range of “deciders”—from airplane pilots and hedge fund investors to serial killers and poker players. Lehrer shows how people are taking advantage of the new science to make better television shows, win more football games, and improve military intelligence. His goal is to answer two questions that are of interest to just about anyone, from CEOs to firefighters: How does the human mind make decisions? And how can we make those decisions better?
