Po Bronson Reihenfolge der Bücher

In Decoding the World, Po Bronson and Arvind Gupta-two renegade venture capitalists from Silicon Valley-take everyday news headlines and decode them, leading us on a journey through their twisted and highly entertaining view of the world. Each chapter is prefaced with a real-world headline ripped from today's chaotic news cycle: Trump's trade war. Dying bees. Rogue planets. Beyond Meat. Glaciers melting. Bronson and Gupta then decipher what's really going on behind these headlines, and why. What they offer is first-hand experience in funding technologies to solve these problems, most of which involve genetic engineering. But what the authors then do with that premise is always surprising and unexpected. In one paragraph they are ripping it down to the bare bones physics or chemistry, and in the very next paragraph invoking history, philosophy, or psychology-while using literary devices borrowed from the surrealists, along with storylines from popular movies. The narrative holds a tightrope suspense, as we wonder what they'll do next, or what brazen thing they'll say. Decoding the World is the kind of book you get when you give two guys $40 million, a world full of messy big problems, a genetics laboratory to play in, and a set of Borges' collected works. After looking through their lens, you'll never see the world the same.

Bestseller denníka The New York Times Práve ste si vybrali knihu, ktorá vyvolala obrovský ohlas v zahraničných médiách a stala sa predmetom mnohých diskusií nielen v radoch odborníkov, ale najmä rodičov a všetkých, ktorým záleží na zdravom vývoji detí a mládeže. Dvojica autorov sa dlhé roky venovala výskumu detskej vývojovej psychológie a ich spoločné dielo prináša prevratné zistenia, ktoré miestami potvrdia správnosť našich vrodených reflexov rodičov, no v niektorých oblastiach sú šokujúco nečakané, napriek tomu podložené komplexnými vedeckými prieskumami. Vedeli ste napríklad, že pochvalou môžete svojmu dieťaťu ublížiť? Čo stojí za poklesom IQ, syndrómom ADHD a obezitou? Mysleli by ste si, že je to nedostatok spánku? Aký vplyv má na deti rozhovor o ľudských rasách? Prospieva im to, alebo skôr škodí? A čo klamstvo? Väčšina stratégií na podporu pravdovravnosti nevedie deti k tomu, aby klamali menej. Kedy sa zistí, či je vaše dieťa nadané? Prečo sa súrodenci nemajú v láske a ako tomu môžeme zabrániť? Prečo v prípade adolescentov platí, že hádka s dospelými je prejav uznania a nie neúcty? Možno sebaovládanie naučiť? Nemusíte sa dlho zamýšľať, stačí, ak sa začítate.

Explores the physiological and behavioural science around what makes us succeed or fail. Discusses the stress response and the results of numerous scientific studies. Regales stories to compare stress reactions and brain function in competitive environments, from sky diving to the work place.

NurtureShock es una colaboración innovadora de Po Bronson y Ashley Merryman que revela cómo las buenas intenciones sobre la crianza infantil a menudo resultan en ideas erróneas. A través de narraciones precisas y un análisis agudo, muestran que muchas estrategias actuales están fracasando por pasar por alto aspectos clave de la ciencia.

In a world of modern, involved, caring parents, why are so many kids aggressive and cruel? Where is intelligence hidden in the brain, and why does that matter? Why do cross-racial friendships decrease in schools that are more integrated? If 98% of kids think lying is morally wrong, then why do 98% of kids lie? What's the single most important thing that helps infants learn language? NurtureShock is a groundbreaking collaboration between award-winning science journalists Po Bronson and Ashley Merryman. They argue that when it comes to children, we've mistaken good intentions for good ideas. With impeccable storytelling and razor-sharp analysis, they demonstrate that many of modern society's strategies for nurturing children are in fact backfiring--because key twists in the science have been overlooked. Nothing like a parenting manual, the authors' work is an insightful exploration of themes and issues that transcend children's (and adults') lives.

Ein brillanter Forschungsbericht, der unser Denken über Erziehung grundlegend verändern wird Gemessen an der Anzahl der verfügbaren Erziehungsratgeber müsste eigentlich längst eine Generation von Engeln herangewachsen sein. Tatsächlich aber stehen heute Schwierigkeiten und Fehleinschätzungen im Umgang mit Kindern auch bei psychologisch gut informierten Eltern auf der Tagesordnung. Was ist so schwierig an einem Vorgang, von dem wir bislang dachten, er sei „ganz natürlich“, eigentlich eine Sache des Instinkts? Die Autoren haben die Erklärung: Unser Instinkt bringt uns dazu, die Kinder vor allem zu beschützen, was aber nicht zwangsläufig dazu führen muss, dass sie sich dadurch zu starken, selbstsicheren und hilfsbereiten Erwachsenen entwickeln. „10 schockierende Wahrheiten über Erziehung“ präsentiert neueste wissenschaftliche Erkenntnisse und stellt so gut wie alles auf den Kopf, was wir über Kindererziehung zu wissen glauben. Warum hat Lob oft den gegenteiligen Effekt? Warum lügen Kinder? Warum kann es auch vorteilhaft sein, als Einzelkind aufzuwachsen? Warum führt frühkindliche Förderung nicht unbedingt dazu, dass Kinder später erfolgreich sind? Und inwiefern zeugt Rebellion im Teenager-Alter eigentlich von Respekt vor den Eltern? Po Bronson und Ashley Merryman legen mit ihrem exzellent geschriebenen Forschungsbericht eines der kühnsten Bücher zum Thema Erziehung vor, das unsere gewohnten Denkmuster und Erfahrungen revolutionieren wird.

Using a cutting-edge combination of behavioural psychology and neuroscience, award-winning journalists Po Bronson and Ashley Merryman have produced an innovative, counter-intuitive read that will change the way we interact with our children forever.

Exploring the complexities of familial relationships, the book delves into real-life stories that reveal the struggles and triumphs families face. From a mother's desperate fight for survival to a father-daughter reunion in China, each narrative highlights the deep emotional connections and challenges inherent in family dynamics. By intimately portraying diverse relationships, the author encourages readers to reconsider their idealized notions of family, ultimately illustrating that shared aspirations and vulnerabilities unite us rather than divide us.
