Julia Shawová Knihy

Možná jste někdo jiný. Stává se vám, že najednou zapomenete, co jste chtěli udělat? Nemůžete přijít na jméno známého, kterého jste právě potkali? Tímto způsobem paměť chybuje celkem běžně. Co když se ale dopouští naprosto zásadních omylů, co když vámi dokonce manipuluje a vytváří vlastní verze vzpomínek a vybájenou minulost? Forenzní psycholožka Julia Shawová ve své knize zkoumá různé způsoby, kterými nás mozek vodí za nos. Staví na skutečných případech falešných přiznání, přiznání ke zločinům, jež se nikdy nestaly, ukradených vzpomínek cizích lidí a bludech všeho druhu. Především ale radí, jak posílit paměť právě na základě vědomí, že je nedokonalá a nespolehlivá. Iluze paměti nabízí jedinečný, ohromující vhled do lidské mysli a klade znepokojivou otázku, zda jsme schopní sami sebe opravdu poznat.

What is it about evil that we find so compelling? From our obsession with serial killers to violence in pop culture, we seem inescapably drawn to the stories of monstrous acts and the aberrant people who commit them. But evil, Dr. Julia Shaw argues, is all relative, rooted in our unique cultures. What one may consider normal, like sex before marriage, eating meat, or being a banker, others find abhorrent. And if evil is only in the eye of the beholder, can it be said to exist at all? In Evil, Shaw uses case studies from academia, examples from and popular culture, and anecdotes from everyday life to break down complex information and concepts like the neuroscience of evil, the psychology of bloodlust, and workplace misbehavior. This is a wide-ranging exploration into a fascinating, darkly compelling subject.

Memories make us who we are--yet the truth is they are far from being the accurate record we like to think they are. We can all admit to occasional memory lapses, but what if we have the potential for more profound errors of memory, even verging on outright fabrication and self-deception? Forensic psychologist and memory expert Dr. Julia Shaw uses the latest research to show the astonishing variety of ways in which our brains can be led astray. She shows why we can misappropriate other people's memories, believing them to be our own. She explains how police officers can imprison an innocent man for life on the basis of 300 denials and just one confession. She demonstrates the way radically false memories can be deliberately implanted, leading people to believe that they brutally murdered a loved one, or were abducted by aliens. And she reveals how, in spite of all this, we can improve our memory through awareness of its fallibility.
