La peur est la plus ancestrale de nos émotions. Elle existe chez tous les vertébrés depuis la nuit des temps. Une glande, nommée amygdale, en déclenche l'activité. Face à l'imminence d'un danger, l'amygdale, tel un signal de détection, lance l'alerte. Face à cette peur, le corps s'immobilise, fuit ou entre en lutte. Ainsi en est-il pour tous les vertébrés, espèce humaine comprise, qui, grâce à ce comportement de défiance, a pu assurer sa survie.

We like to think we make decisions based on good reasoning–and that our doctors, judges, politicians, economic forecasters and employers do too. In this groundbreaking book, three world-leading behavioural scientists come together to assess the last great fault in our collective decision-making: noise. We all make bad judgements more than we think. Noise shows us what we can do to make better ones.

From Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) originator Francine Shapiro, this groundbreaking, evidence-based work has been translated into multiple languages. Originally developed for treatment of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), EMDR therapy is now also used to treat adults and children with complex trauma, anxiety disorders, depression, addictive behavior problems, and other clinical problems. The third edition reviews the therapy's theoretical and empirical underpinnings, details the eight phases of treatment, and provides vignettes, training materials, and resources.

Fabrizio Benedetti, professore di Neurofisiologia all'Università di Torino, nel suo lavoro di medico e ricercatore esplora la mente e i ricordi delle persone. Un lavoro che per certi versi richiama quello di un detective: partendo dai dati a disposizione, infatti, si trova spesso a indagare in maniera empirica, per tentativi, la mente umana e i suoi inganni, i depistaggi, le false memorie. Questo audiolibro raccoglie quattro casi clinici che, per la loro natura, sembrano veri e propri gialli.
