Richard Wiseman Knihy

Britský vědec, spisovatel a popularizátor vědy Richard Wiseman představuje novou vědu o spánku: přehledně uspořádaný soubor nejnovějších vědeckých poznatků o spánku, jeho důležitosti a nebezpečích spojených s jeho nedostatkem. Upozorňuje na to, že špatný spánek negativně ovlivňuje mezilidské vztahy, snižuje produktivitu práce, výrazně zvyšuje riziko vzniku vysokého krevního tlaku, rakoviny, cukrovky a obezity. Především však čtenářům nabízí řadu ověřených metod umožňujících každému dobře a dostatečně se vyspat a v nejlepším případě se stát skutečným „superspáčem“ – přeborníkem ve spaní, který se každou noc dobře vyspí, je schopen usnout, kdy se mu zachce, probouzí se svěží a má spoustu sladkých snů. Tato pozoruhodná schopnost vytěžit z noci maximum činí ze „superspáčů“ skutečně šťastné, úspěšné a zdravé lidi.

In a recent series of ground-breaking psychological experiments, volunteers were shown a 30-second film of some people playing basketball and told to count the number of passes made with the ball. After just a few seconds, a man dressed as a gorilla slowly walked into frame, beat his chest at the camera, and sauntered off. Unbelievably, almost none of the people watching the film noticed the gorilla. Exactly the same psychological mechanisms that cause people to miss the gorilla also make them miss unexpected but vitally important opportunities in their professional and personal lives. This book outlines the scientific evidence and thinking behind this remarkable new phenomenon, and shows you how you can spot gorillas in your life - and what to do when you see one.

Czy przedmioty faktycznie mogą przynosić szczęście? Czy można zobaczyć przyszłość w snach i czemu niektórzy ludzie twierdzą, że potrafią sami zdecydować, o czym będą śnić? Jak przesuwać przedmioty siłą woli? Na czym polega kontrolowanie cudzego umysłu? Dlaczego osiemdziesiąt procent Amerykanów zapewnia, że doświadczyło zjawisk paranormalnych? Jak zahipnotyzować kurczaka? Richard Wiseman daje odpowiedzi na te pytania i na wiele innych. Naukowiec, który w książce 59 sekund pokazał, jak siła sugestii może zmienić nasze życie na lepsze, tym razem postanowił rozprawić się z mitami na temat nadnaturalnego aspektu rzeczywistości. Wiseman udowadnia, jak cienka granica dzieli rzeczywistość od świata nadnaturalnego. Dzięki wymyślonym przez niego eksperymentom od dziś każdy z nas będzie miał możliwość wywołać ducha albo przekonać obcą osobę, że wie o niej prawie wszystko - a to za sprawą niewiarygodnych zdolności umysłu, z których na co dzień mało kto zdaje sobie sprawę.

Warum sehen wir überall Essbares, wenn wir hungrig sind? Weil unser Hirn uns immer das wahrnehmen lässt, was es erwartet. Anderes Beispiel: Was fehlt in der folgenden Gleichung? 10 11 = 10:50. Sofort ist unser Hirn auf Mathematik programmiert - und scheitert. Richard Wiseman zeigt, wie man mit vier einfachen Techniken seine Wahrnehmung öffnet, um nahe liegende Lösungen für Probleme zu finden. Wer nicht auf Mathe fixiert ist, dem fällt auf, dass das Wort „vor“ in der Gleichung fehlt, denn es geht hier um Zeit. Und wer kreativ und ohne Wahrnehmungsbarrieren denken kann, wird Lösungen finden, bevor andere das Problem überhaupt erkennen.
