Owner of the most remarkable mind on the planet, (according to the US's Entertainment Weekly) Daniel Tammet captivated readers & won worldwide critical acclaim with the 2006 Sunday Times bestselling memoir, Born On A Blue Day, & its vivid depiction of a life with autistic savant syndrome. In his fascinating new book, he writes with characteristic clarity & personal awareness as he sheds light on the mysteries of savants' incredible mental abilities, & our own. Tammet explains that the differences between savant & non-savant minds have been exaggerated; his astonishing capacities in memory, math & language are neither due to a cerebral supercomputer nor any genetic quirk, but are rather the results of a highly rich & complex associative form of thinking & imagination. Autistic thought, he argues, is an extreme variation of a kind that we all do, from daydreaming to the use of puns & metaphors. Embracing the Wide Sky combines meticulous scientific research with Tammet's detailed descriptions of how his mind works to demonstrate the immense potential within us all. He explains how our natural intuitions can help us to learn a foreign language, why his memories are like symphonies, & what numbers & giraffes have in common. We also discover why there is more to intelligence than IQ, how optical illusions fool our brains, & why too much information can make you dumb. Many readers will be particularly intrigued by Tammet's original ideas concerning the genesis of genius & exceptional creativity. He illustrates his arguments with examples as diverse as the private languages of twins, the compositions of poets with autism, & the breakthroughs, & breakdowns, of some of history's greatest minds. Embracing the Wide Sky is a unique & brilliantly imaginative portrait of how we think, learn, remember & create, brimming with personal insights & anecdotes, & explanations of the most up-to-date, mind-bending discoveries from fields ranging from neuroscience to psychology & linguistics. This is a profound & provocative book that will transform our understanding & respect for every kind of mind. The size of this book is 22.4cm in height & 14.3cm wide with 294 pages. ...

Nobody knows what will happen in the next moment of our lives. Whatever is in store for us, the only thing we CAN be sure of is that nothing in life is certain. & since we all fear the unknown, life's uncertainty can be a constant source of worry to us. But, as bestselling author Susan Jeffers explains, life doesn't have to be one worry after the next, a steady stream of 'what if's', & a constant attempt to create a secure haven for ourselves. In EMBRACING UNCERTAINTY she emphasises that an unknown future doesn't prevent a rich & abundant life, & shows how by enjoying life's unpredictability we transform ourselves from a position of fear to one filled with excitement & potential. Through invaluable case-studies, exercises & her pragmatic wisdom, Susan convinces us, above all, that life is exhilarating because of, not in spite of, uncertainty. ...

Embracing The Ordinary: Lessons From The Champions Of Everyday Life

It has always been difficult to appreciate everyday life, often devalued as dreary, banal and burdensome, and never more so than in a culture besotted with fantasy, celebrity and glamour. Yet many writers, artists, film-makers and photographers have celebrated the ordinary life around them, and many philosophers, anthropologists, psychologists and neuroscientists have offered insights into the difficulties and rewards of paying attention to the here and now. With characteristic wit and earthiness, Michael Foley - author of the bestselling The Age of Absurdity - draws on the work of these artists and thinkers, and encourages us to delight in the complexities of everyday psychopathology. With astute observation, Foley brings fresh insights to such things as the banality of
everyday speech, the madness and weirdness of snobbery, love and sex, and the strangeness of everyday objects and the everyday environment, such as the office. It is all more fascinating, comical and mysterious than you think.
