Mieux se connaître grâce aux neurosciences. Pourquoi croyons-nous souvent avoir raison lorsque nous avons tort ? Pourquoi sommes-nous terrorisés par une toute petite araignée inoffensive ? Pourquoi avons-nous peur de parler en public alors qu'aucun danger ne nous guette ? Pourquoi nous laissons-nous avoir par les infox? Face à un réel multiple et complexe, nous sommes sujets à l'approximation, à l'illusion et à l'erreur. Ces mécanismes cérébraux nous permettent de construire une vision cohérente du monde.

When you are faced with a decision, do you consider the best outcome, or do you consider your deepest values about which actions are appropriate? The Cost of Conviction contrasts these two primary strategies for making decisions: consequentialism, the former, or prioritizing one's sacred values, the latter. Steven Sloman argues that, while both modes of decision making are necessary tools for a good decision maker, people err by deploying sacred values more often than they should, especially when it comes to sociopolitical issues.

Does it ever feel like there's a hypercritical, negative voice inside your head, telling you that you aren't good enough, pretty enough, smart enough, or worthy of success or love?

The problem is, this voice can be difficult to "switch off," leading to anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem. So, how can you move past negative self-talk and start living with confidence?

Was Renaissance genius Leonardo Da Vinci’s brain different from yours? Yes … and no. Like you, Da Vinci had a wide array of interests and constantly found connections between them, even when they seemed obscure. You may already be a problem solver at work, and perhaps admire Da Vinci as a ‘polymath’ and ‘Renaissance Man.’ But you may never have thought you could be like him. Da Vinci was ahead of his time. His notebooks, hundreds of years after his death, influenced modern flight, optometry, and photography. How could you follow in his footsteps?

Par l'auteur de Votre cerveau vous joue des tours. Aujourd'hui, tout, ou presque, semble devoir trouver son explication dans le cerveau. Nos bonheurs, nos émotions, nos addictions, nos peurs, nos croyances, nos performances, notre capacité à changer individuellement ou collectivement ne seraient qu'un effet des interactions de nos neurones. Mais cette profusion de discours sur le cerveau – cette neuromania – se fait au prix de raccourcis, d'approximations, voire de contre-vérités.
