Most delicious poison : the story of nature's toxins-from spices to vices / by Whiteman, Noah,author.;
"Based on cutting-edge science in the fields of evolution, chemistry, and neuroscience, Most Delicious Poison reveals the origins of toxins produced by plants, mushrooms, microbes, and even some animals, the mechanisms that animals evolved to overcome them, and how a co-evolutionary arms race made its way into the human experience. This perpetual chemical war not only drove the diversification of life on Earth, but is also intimately tied to our own successes and failures. You will never look at a houseplant, mushroom, fruit, vegetable, or even the last 500 years of human history, the same way again"--

Blink : the power of thinking without thinking / by Gladwell, Malcolm,1963-author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index.How do we think without thinking, seem to make choices in an instant -- in the blink of an eye -- that actually aren't as simple as they seem? Why are some people brilliant decision makers, while others are consistently inept? Why do some people follow their instincts and win, while others end up stumbling into error? And why are the best decisions often those that are impossible to explain to others? Drawing on cutting-edge neuroscience and psychology, the author reveals that great decision makers aren't those who process the most information or spend the most time deliberating, but those who have perfected the art of filtering the very few factors that matter from an overwhelming number of variables.

Clearing emotional clutter : mindfulness practices for letting go of what's blocking your fulfillment and transformation / by Altman, Don,1950-;
Includes bibliographical references."Many have pointed out the psychological benefits of clearing out the clutter in our surroundings. But what do we do with our emotional clutter - the psychological versions of the jam-packed closet or impenetrable garage? As we shut away and try to hide old pains and traumas we create toxic patterns. Author Donald Altman uses modern neuroscience to outline how habits and patterns can be modified with only a few minutes of attention daily. Altman first helps readers realize what their baggage consists of and how to transform or jettison it. He then shows how to avoid accumulating new emotional clutter. With these practices, readers address their pasts, learn to deal with the present, and cultivate the best possible futures for themselves"--Provided by publisher.LSC

How confidence works : the new science of self-belief, why some people learn it and others don't / by Robertson, Ian H.,author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index.Imagine we could discover something that could make us richer, healthier, longer-living, smarter, kinder, happier, more motivated and more innovative. Ridiculous, you might say ... What is this elixir? Confidence. If you have it, it can empower you to reach heights you never thought possible. But if you don't, it can have a devastating effect on your future. Confidence lies at the core of what makes things happen. Probing the science and neuroscience behind confidence that has emerged over the last decade, Professor Ian Robertson tells us how confidence plays out in our minds, our brains and indeed our bodies. He explains where it comes from and how it spreads -with extraordinary economic and political consequences. And why it's not necessarily something you are born with, but something that can be learned.

Includes bibliographical references and index.According to David Brooks, "There is one skill that lies at the heart of any healthy person, family, school, community organization, or society: the ability to see someone else deeply and make them feel seen-to accurately know another person, to let them feel valued, heard, and understood." Drawing from the fields of psychology and neuroscience and from the worlds of theater, philosophy, history and education, one of the nation's leading writers and commentators helps us become more understanding and considerate toward others, and to find the joy that comes from being seen. 'How to Know a Person' is a practical, heartfelt guide to the art of truly knowing another person in order to foster deeper connections at home, at work, and throughout our lives.

Matrescence : on the metamorphosis of pregnancy, childbirth and motherhood / by Jones, Lucy(Journalist),author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."In this important and ground-breaking, deeply personal investigation, Jones writes of the emerging concept of "matrescence" -- the wholeness of becoming a mother. Drawing on her own experiences of twice becoming a mother, as well as exploring the latest research in the fields of neuroscience and evolutionary biology; psychoanalysis and existential therapy, sociology, economics and ecology, Jones writes of the physical and emotional changes in the maternal mind, body, and spirit and shows us how these changes are far more profound, wild, and enduring than have been previously explored or written about. Part memoir, part scientific and health reporting, part social critique, ecological philosophy, eco-feminism and nature writing, Matrescence is a kind of whodunnit, ferreting out with the most nuanced, searing and honest observations, why mothers throughout this heightened transition are at a breaking point, and what the institution of intensive, isolated motherhood can tell us about our still-dominant social and cultural myths"--
