The 100 Most Influential boeken Ever Written: The History of Thought from Ancient Times to Today

I am door no means a great votary of any kind of "Best" lists and find them too subjective and at times highfalutin. But this lijst of the 100 most influential & mind-expanding boeken ever written seemed quite apposite and all-encompassing. British literary critic & historian Seymour-Smith's survey of what he considers the 100 most influential boeken is a searching inquiry into major thinkers, writers and philosophers. Seymour-Smith finds most modernist techniques already...

Daniel Goleman, 2006, 334 pages

Goleman in his groundbreaking book reveals that neural linkages between humans influence the brain and the body. These invisible bridges give us the ability to change people's moods, emotions, and health - as these people can do to us. Relationships not only shape emotional states and general psychological experience, but also the very physiological matter that makes our body. Our interactions with people influences our immune system, circulation, hormones, and breathing for example.

Social Intelligence expands from the one-person psychology within an individual...

Alan Weisman
2007-2008
A MUST READ


The simple but irresistible premise of Alan Weisman's The World Without Us - what would happen to the planet if human beings simply disappeared - lit up imaginations even as it ignited controversy around the world.

Weisman's "thought experiment" examines what would happen in both the immediate and distant future to the land, the animals, the oceans, our cities, our art, and all manner of things we take for granted if we were no longer here. Would the seas again teem with fish? Would our concrete jungles crumble to make way for natural ones? How long, if ever, would it take for our collective footprint to fade away?

Available in hard cover, paperback and CD

Beautiful and passionate!

Could muziek unlock the mystery of who we are and how we think?

An unprecedented blend of science and art, Daniel Levitin’s bestselling debut, This Is Your Brain on Music, changed the way we understand how muziek gets in our heads. Now, in what is being called a tour de force door leading scientists, he presents his audacious theory of ‘six songs,’ the key to how muziek shaped humanity across cultures and throughout history.

Preserving the emotional heritage of our lives and of our species, muziek from its very beginning, was allied to dance, as the structure...
