- Digital dharma : how AI can elevate spiritual intelligence and personal well-being / by Chopra, Deepak,author.;
- "As a spiritual icon who continually explores the intersection of cutting-edge science and personal growth, Deepak Chopra, M.D., tackles the little-discussed spiritual benefits of AI and its vast potential to solve the greatest mystery confronting us: consciousness itself. By navigating the intricate balance between innovation and spirituality, Chopra explains that although AI cannot duplicate creative intelligence, it can vastly enhance our own. Humans have natural intelligence, not the artificial kind. We lead emotional lives; we are capable of insight and self-reflection. Despite these things, however, the human mind is deeply artificial in many ways, and the negative connotations of the word "artificial" -- fake, lifeless, illusory, mechanical, arbitrary -- apply to our everyday life. Instead of wondering how to make a machine conscious, we should be asking how a machine can make us more conscious. In this book, Chopra shows readers the seven levels of intelligence, including survival and safety, emotional connection, self-worth, abundance, knowledge, wisdom, and the infinite possibilities. These levels are understood by AI on a surface level, but humans can interpret them more accurately and with a self-knowledge that no chatbot can duplicate. But by asking the right questions, you can bring AI into your inner world, which is where personal growth happens. Chopra provides a personal assessment for readers to locate their level of awareness, and exercises to help readers attain their goals"--

- Emotional agility : get unstuck, embrace change, and thrive in work and life / by David, Susan A.;
- Includes bibliographical references and index."The counterintuitive approach to achieving your true potential, heralded by the Harvard Business Review as a groundbreaking idea of the year. The path to fulfillment, whether at work or at home, is almost never a straight line. Ask anyone who has achieved their biggest goals or who thrives in their relationships, and you'll hear stories of many unexpected detours along the way. What separates those who rise to these challenges and those who get derailed? The answer is agility--emotional agility. Emotional agility is a four-step approach that allows us to navigate life's twists and turns with self-acceptance, clear-sightedness, and an open mind. In her more than twenty years of research, Susan David has found that no matter how intelligent, resilient, or creative people are, when they ignore how situations or interactions make them feel, they miss opportunities to gain insight, getting hooked by thoughts, emotions, and habits that prevent them from reaching their full potential. Emotionally agile people experience the same stresses and setbacks as anyone else, but they know how to adapt, aligning their actions with their values and making small changes that lead to a life of growth. Drawing on her extensive professional research, her international consulting work, and her own experiences growing up in Apartheid-era South Africa and losing her father at a young age, David shows how anyone can become more emotionally agile and thrive in an uncertain world. Written with authority, wit, and empathy, Emotional Agility will help you live your most successful life, whoever you are and whatever you face"--Provided by publisher.LSC

- The brain at rest : how the art and science of doing nothing can improve your life / by Jebelli, Joseph,author.;
- Includes bibliographical references and index."A narrative exploration of the science of "doing nothing" and its astonishing benefits for the brain and body, from neuroscientist and author of How the Mind Changed Everything Dr. Joseph Jebelli. We are living in the age of burnout -- even in our quietest moments, we are busier than ever, overwhelmed, and unable to disconnect from work, relationships, and current events. We view productivity as good, and idleness as bad, yet the secret to enhancing intelligence, creativity, social empathy, and emotional processing lies in a single act -- doing nothing. In The Brain at Rest, Dr. Joseph Jebelli blends science, stories, and practical tips in a nuanced exploration of the "default network," a brain system that participates in daydreaming, reflective thinking, and visualizing the future. In doing so, he shows the benefits of harnessing this network, such as reducing chances of developing depression and dementia, and helps us put these findings into practice. Perfect for readers interested in science and creativity, or anyone feeling overwhelmed in their day-to-day life, The Brain at Rest is a deeply-researched and entertaining antidote to burnout that definitively proves how even 5 to 10 minutes of doing nothing can better our lives"--

- Primal intelligence : you are smarter than you know / by Fletcher, Angus,author.;
- Includes bibliographical references and index."Tap into your hidden intelligence and transform your life The creative spark of Vincent van Gogh. The business acumen of Steve Jobs. The mental resilience of Maya Angelou. The transformative leadership of Abraham Lincoln. The communication knack of William Shakespeare. In 2021, researchers at Ohio State's Project Narrative, renowned for collaborations with NASA, Hollywood, and Silicon Valley, announced that they had discovered the neural power at the root of all this human genius. They named it Primal Intelligence. Intrigued, US Army Special Operations developed Primal Intelligence training for its most classified units. The training succeeded. The Operators saw the future faster. They healed quicker from trauma. In life-and-death situations, they chose wiser. The Army then ran trials on military nurses, pilots, engineers, and commanders -- and on civilian entrepreneurs, doctors, managers, salespeople, teachers, investors, and NFL players. Their leadership and innovation improved significantly. They coped better with change and uncertainty. They experienced less anxiety and anger. Finally, the Army authorized trials on college and K-12 students. The training produced substantial effects in students as young as eight. In 2023, the Army awarded Project Narrative a medal for "groundbreaking research." The revolutionary training that US Army Special Operations and Project Narrative created is now available for the first time in this book. The training is simple, not easy. It's not an optimization hack or a cheat code. It's a different way of using your brain. It offers a new neuroscientific approach to intuition, imagination, emotion, and common sense, helping you become more like van Gogh and Jobs, Lincoln and Angelou. It gives you the tools to unlock the ancient know-how you forgot you knew. Your human genius. Your Primal Intelligence"--

Where do visionary creatives and savvy decision-makers like Vincent van Gogh, Steve Jobs, Abraham Lincoln, Maya Angelou, Nikola Tesla, Marie Curie, Albert Einstein, Wayne Gretzky, Warren Buffett, and William Shakespeare get their extraordinary mental abilities? In 2021, researchers at Ohio State’s Project Narrative, renowned for collaborations with NASA, Hollywood, and Silicon Valley, announced they had the answer. They named it Primal Intelligence.
