To Want to Learn
by Jackson KytleLack of learner motivation is the single greatest challenge before American schools and colleges. When students are self-motivated, they invest more and work harder at learning even if resources are inadequate. Jackson Kytle's provocative book argues that students and teachers waste time and human energy because the conventional curriculum rests on flawed mental models. Hope for change requires a searching critique of modernity as well as expanded theories of human motivation and learning based on advances in neurobiology and cognitive studies. After consideration of existentialism and choice of life purposes, and the dynamics of psychological involvement, Kytle closes his ambitious, interdisciplinary book with ten considerations for better learning.

Today I'm Alice: Nine Personalities, One Tortured Mind
by Alice JamiesonWhen Alice was a teenager, strange things started happening to her. Hours of her life simply disappeared. She'd hear voices shouting at her, telling her she was useless. And the nightmares that had haunted her since early childhood, scenes of men abusing her, became more detailed . . . more real. Staring at herself in the mirror she'd catch her face changing, as if someone else was looking out through her eyes. In Today I'm Alice, she describes her extraordinary journey from a teenage girl battling anorexia and OCD, drowning the voices with alcohol, to a young woman slipping further and further into mental illness. It was only after years lost in institutions that she was correctly diagnosed with multiple personality disorder. When her alternative personalities were revealed in therapy she discovered how each one had their own memories of abuse and a full picture of her childhood finally emerged. As she learned to live with her many 'alters', she set out to confront the man who had caused her unbearable pain. Moving and ultimately inspiring, this is a gripping account of a rare condition, and the remarkable story of a courageous woman.

Toddlers, Parents and Culture: Findings from the Joint Effort Toddler Temperament Consortium
by Maria A. Gartstein Samuel P. PutnamOne doesn’t have to travel extensively to realize that there are intriguing differences in the ways in which people from different cultures tend to behave. Gartstein and Putnam explore whether these differences are shaped during the early years of life, at the moment when children are just beginning to understand how, when, and why they should express some emotions, and not others. Based on the findings of the Joint Effort Toddler Temperament Consortium (JETTC), which asked parents from 14 different countries multiple questions regarding their main goals and techniques for raising children to be successful in their culture, Gartstein and Putnam analyze how children’s characteristics (both normative and problematic) are shaped by different cultural environments. Drawing from insights in anthropology, sociology, and developmental psychology, the book explores the full spectrum of human experience, from broad sets of values and concerns that differentiate populations down to the intimate details of parent-child relationships. The results reveal a complex web of interrelations among societal ideals, parental attempts to fulfill them, and the ways their children manifest these efforts. In doing so, they provide a revealing look at how families raise their young children around the world. Toddlers, Parents, and Culture will be of great interest to students and scholars in temperament, cross-cultural psychology, parenting and socioemotional development in early childhood, as well as professionals in early education, child mental health, and behavioral pediatrics.

Todo lo que creíamos saber sobre el cerebro... y estábamos equivocados: La ilusión de profundidad mental y la mente improvisada
by Nick ChaterCon una interpretación radical sobre cómo funciona el cerebro, y ganador del Prose Awards 2019 en la categoría de psicología clínica, Nick Chater revela que la profundidad mental es sólo una ilusión. Asumimos que nuestras creencias y deseos surgen de las profundidades insondables de nuestra mente, y que si tuviéramos la llave para acceder a ese misterioso mundo, podríamos comprendernos en nuestra totalidad. Nick Chater llega a destruir este mito. Navegando en una nueva investigación en neurociencia, psicología del comportamiento y percepción, el especialista en comportamiento humano muestra que no existen esas profundidades para ser develadas ni tampoco el pensamiento inconsciente; sino que somos nosotros quienes generamos al instante nuestras propias ideas, motivaciones y pensamientos. Todo lo que creíamos saber sobre el cerebro... y estábamos equivocados nos lleva a descubrir, a través de ejemplos visuales y experimentos contraintuitivos, que somos los personajes de nuestra propia creación, improvisando constantemente nuestro comportamiento de acuerdo con nuestras experiencias en el pasado; y como Chater nos demuestra, reconociendo que esto puede ser liberador. «Un descubrimiento deslumbrante. Nick Chater me voló la cabeza.» Tim Harford, autor bestseller de El economista camuflado

But what effect is it having on us, and how can we treat it - even at a distance?When Obama appointed him Surgeon General of the United States, Dr Vivek Murthy observed the growing health crisis of isolation first-hand. In this ground-breaking book, he traces the roots of the problem, and shows how loneliness lies behind some of our greatest personal and social challenges, from anxiety and depression to addiction and violence.

We can all create it, and benefit from it, and it is more urgent than ever that we start now.
