“There are words that are so familiar they obscure rather than illuminate the thing they mean, and ‘learning’ is such a word. It seems so ordinary, everyone does it. Actually it’s more of a black box, which Dehaene cracks open to reveal the awesome secrets within.”--The New York Times Book Review An illuminating dive into the latest science on our brain's remarkable learning abilities and the potential of the machines we program to imitate them The human brain is an extraordinary learning machine. Its ability to reprogram itself is unparalleled, and it remains the best source of inspiration for recent developments in artificial intelligence. But how do we learn? What innate biological foundations underlie our ability to acquire new information, and what principles modulate their efficiency? In How We Learn, Stanislas Dehaene finds the boundary of computer science, neurobiology, and cognitive psychology to explain how learning really works and how to make the best use of the brain’s learning algorithms in our schools and universities, as well as in everyday life and at any age.

If you have lost someone you deeply love, or have become strongly aware of your mortality, it’s hard to avoid wondering about life after death, the existence of God, notions of heaven and hell, and why we are here in the first place. The murder of Matthew McKay’s son, Jordan, sent him on a journey in search of ways to communicate with his son despite fears and uncertainty. Here he recounts his efforts — including past-life and between-lives hypnotic regressions, a technique called induced after-death communication, channeled writing, and more. McKay, a psychologist and researcher, ultimately learned how to reach his son. In this book he provides extraordinary revelations — direct from Jordan — about the soul’s life after death, how karma works, why we incarnate, why there is so much pain in the world, the single force that connects us, and our future as souls. Unlike many books about after-death communication, near-death experiences, and past-life memories, this is a book for those who do not believe yet yearn to know what happens after death. In addition to being riveting reading, Seeking Jordan is a unique heart-, soul-, and mind-stirring reflection on the issues each of us will ultimately face.

Educational practice does not, for the most part, rely on research findings. Instead, there’s a preference for relying on our intuitions about what’s best for learning. But relying on intuition may be a bad idea for teachers and learners alike. This accessible guide helps teachers to integrate effective, research-backed strategies for learning into their classroom practice. The book explores exactly what constitutes good evidence for effective learning and teaching strategies, how to make evidence-based judgments instead of relying on intuition, and how to apply findings from cognitive psychology directly to the classroom. Including real-life examples and case studies, FAQs, and a wealth of engaging illustrations to explain complex concepts and emphasize key points, the book is divided into four parts: Evidence-based education and the science of learning Basics of human cognitive processes Strategies for effective learning Tips for students, teachers, and parents. Written by "The Learning Scientists" and fully illustrated by Oliver Caviglioli, Understanding How We Learn is a rejuvenating and fresh examination of cognitive psychology's application to education. This is an essential read for all teachers and educational practitioners, designed to convey the concepts of research to the reality of a teacher's classroom.

Dr Yogesh Gupta became a degree holder of Medicine in the year 2003. He is practicing since then in city of Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India. In 20 years of practice and 10 years of studies before that has given him an insight of Indian healthcare system. He has seen many changes happening in this period from nursing home culture to corporate hospital culture. From cash patient to cashless patient to free treatment culture in India. In between he got married to a beautiful intelligent wife, a research scientist Dr. Geeta Gupta. Both of them were blessed with two beautiful angel’s daughter Manya and Arayna. Their presence gave him a purpose in life apart from service to patients. He strongly believes that in medical education and medical practice there is a huge difference. Medical education is good enough to provide a degree to practice. But real thing starts when we practice that medicine in real situations. The book that we read, the lectures we attended and the theory we cramped for exams where only to get degree. Then what happens when the doctor start practicing, he or she always feels that they were cheated during education. So much was left untouched during studies. Knowing and learning about Indian healthcare led to a belief that we are at a crossroad. Either we choose to go and become an Americanized healthcare or we choose to create our own safe and healthy Indian healthcare. But till this is decided by intelligent people and policy makers of India he decided to play safe. Increasing cases of medical negligence, violence against doctors, tirade by media, slavery by corporate hospitals and bullying insurance companies have become a way of life. Let’s hope we doctors learn it right and we all pray that we can practice in peace. This is his second book. First book was Covid diaries: Virus vs. We. Writing that book and then looking to the response from the medical fraternity motivated him to write this journey of his. This is non-fiction account of his medical practice. He is sure that doctors will relate to each of the story account. His hope is that medical profession deserves more in India.
