A Whole New Mind: Why Right-Brainers Will Rule the Future

Gone is the age of "left-brain" dominance. The future belongs to a different kind of person with a different kind of mind: designers, inventors, teachers, storytellers— creative and empathic "right-brain" thinkers whose abilities mark the fault line between who gets ahead and who doesn't.

Drawing on research from around the world, Daniel Pink outlines the six fundamentally human abilities that are essential for professional success and personal fulfillment—and reveals how to master them.

Selling to the Old Brain: How New Discoveries In Brain Research Empower You To Influence Any Audience, Anytime

What is the Old Brain and why is it important to anyone?

New research in neuroscience reveals that the human brain is categorized into three separate parts that act as separate organs with different cellular structures and different functions:

The "New Brain" thinks; it processes rational data.
The "Middle Brain" feels; it processes emotions and feelings.
The "Old Brain" decides; it reviews input from the other two brains and controls the decision making process.

Traditionally, we have been taught to communicate to the New Brain, logically and rationally, while failing to address the true decision maker, the primitive Old Brain, in a language it can understand.

In this groundbreaking book, authors teach how to build and deliver messages that provide maximum impact by speaking directly to the Old Brain. The principles in this unique book will revolutionize the way executives, marketing and sales professionals communicate and sell so they successfully influence any audience, anytime.

Deep Learning: Enhance Memory and Concentration

Ever wish you could learn more, faster, and retain the information longer? Stimulate your memory receptors and neural pathways with the Theta frequencies embedded in this program. They'll help you increase your clarity of mind, profoundly improving your ability to study, integrate and store new information. Use this tape whenever you feel the need to absorb new ideas and procedures quickly. You'll be astounded by the results! Theta frequencies and music only.

Going deeper into relaxation, you enter the elusive and mysterious Theta state where brain activity slows almost to the point of sleep, but not quite. Theta is the brain state where magic happens in the crucible of your own neurological activity. Theta brings forward heightened receptivity, flashes of dreamlike imagery, inspiration, and your long-forgotten memories. Theta can bring you deep states of meditation. A sensation of "floating." And, because it is an expansive state, in Theta, you may feel your mind expand beyond the boundaries of your body.

Data Smog : Surviving the Information Glut
Revised and Updated Edition

Media scholar (and Internet Enthusiast) David Shenk examines the troubling effects of information proliferation on our bodies, our brains, our relationships, and our culture, then offers strikingly down-to-earth insights for coping with the deluge.

With a skillful mixture of personal essay, firsthand reportage, and sharp analysis, Shenk illustrates the central paradox of our time: as our world gets more complex, our responses to it become increasingly simplistic.He draws convincing links between data smog and stress distraction, indecision, cultural fragmentation, social vulgarity, and more.

But there's hope for a saner, more meaningful future, as Shenk offers a wealth of novel prescriptions—both personal and societal—for dispelling data smog.
