"The Psychology of Artificial Intelligence" giver et dybt indblik i den fascinerende verden, hvor menneskelig psykologi og avanceret teknologi krydser hinanden. Dette værk belyser det komplekse forhold mellem menneskesindet og kunstigt intelligente systemer og udforsker både de tekniske og psykologiske perspektiver. I en tid, hvor kunstig intelligens er gået fra science fiction til hverdag, stiller denne bog centrale spørgsmål: Hvordan påvirker kunstig intelligens den måde, vi tænker, føler og handler på? Hvilke etiske udfordringer bringer den med sig? Hvordan ændrer den vores forståelse af intelligens og bevidsthed? Hvilke risici medfører det? Og har kunstig intelligens måske allerede sin egen psykologi? Er affektiv computing vejen frem? Denne bog tilbyder en omfattende analyse af alt fra AI's dybe indvirkning på vores arbejdsliv og sociale interaktioner til de subtile ændringer i vores selvbillede. Den henvender sig til alle, der er interesserede i, hvordan kunstig intelligens former og udfordrer vores menneskelige erfaring. Forfatteren er involveret i udviklingen af AI-systemer i en ledende rolle og har dyb indsigt i alle aspekter af dette emne.

"Maira Kalman's most autobiographical and intimate work to date, Still Life with Remorse is a beautiful, four-color collection combining deeply personal stories and 50 striking full-color paintings. Tracing her family's story from her grandfather's birth in Belarus and emigration to Tel Aviv--where she was born--Maira considers her unique family history, illuminating the complex relationship between recollection, regret, happiness, and heritage. The vibrant original art accompanying these autobiographical pieces are mostly still lifes and interiors which serve as counterpoints to her powerful words. In addition to vignettes exploring her Israeli and Jewish roots, Kalman includes short stories about other great artists, writers, and composers, including Leo Tolstoy, Franz Kafka, Gustav Mahler, and Robert Schumann. Through these narratives, Kalman uses her signature wit and tenderness to reveal how family history plays an influential role in all of our work, lives, and perspectives. A feat of visual storytelling and vulnerability, Still Life with Remorse explores the profound hidden in the quotidian, and illuminates the powerful universal truths in our most personal family stories"--

While humility (or the lack of it) has been central to my life, you may not suffer from the same problems I do. You may never be anxious or depressed, self-centered or egotistical, self-conscious or selfish. If you're wondering how humility can help you, ask yourself which of the following statements are true for you:I want to be healthier - both mentally and physically. I want to have deeper, more meaningful relations with my family and friends.I want to be less concerned about what others think of me. I want to get along with my mother-in-law without hiring a hit man. If you said "yes" to any of these statements, this book is for you. If you're thinking that everyone would want these things, that's because It's Not All About You! was written with a very specific audience in mind: People who want to live happier, more fulfilling lives.Written by a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who's been utilizing the paths to humility in his own personal life and private practice for many years, It's Not All About You! will lead readers to enjoy life more, freeing them from the stress caused by thinking too high, too low, or too often of themselves.

Have you ever met someone that you just couldn't get out of your head? Or immediately disliked someone for no apparent reason? Do you have a longtime friend that you have nothing in common with anymore, but you're still holding onto the friendship? Or do you and your parents continuously fight, never seeing eye-to-eye? Though seemingly different at first glance, all of these people have something in common...they're part of your Soul Family...and they're in your life for a reason. This book is about understanding energy by breaking down the Ego and seeing past perceived "reality." It is about remembering who you are, not by who society dictates you to be, but rather your true nature. And it is about learning to see the lessons shown to you by every person playing a role in your life, navigating more easily through your connections, and remaining non-attached as you heal your traumas. Whether you're struggling with Karmic relationships, Soulmates, Soul Tribe members, or a Twin Flame, Alexx will help guide you through. Utilizing Quantum Physics, String Theory, biology, epigenetics, Samkhya philosophy, energetic healing modalities, astrology, and stories on each Soul Family member, you'll gain a deep comprehension of what lessons you chose to learn in this incarnation, and how they're being presented to you.

George Catlin's classic work, where he passionately supports the practice of closing the mouth whilst breathing, is reproduced here in full including his illustrations.In the author's opinion, closing the mouth is a way of ensuring a better mood and overall state in life. His lively illustrations contrast a person whose mouth is often open - whether during sleep or waking hours - with an individual whose mouth is generally shut. Catlin's opinions were never accepted into the medical canon, but remain interesting in their historical context; Catlin was a painter and writer who spent years living among and painting members of various Native American tribes, gaining great admiration for their lifestyle and culture.Complimenting Catlin's other book on this subject - Shut Your Mouth and Save Your Life - The Breath of Life discusses more of the author's personal experiences and encounters. His respect and high regard for the Native Americans is evident as Catlin observes how many tribesmen and women keep their mouths closed. Even the mouths of Native American babies are closed by their mothers as they sleep; a practice Catlin believes helps the infant retain an even temper and serene appearance later in life.

If we can look closely at what Summerhill does and how it does it, then perhaps we can transfer some of what it offers into our homes, into our parenting.'This book's stories and conclusions draw on Zoe¿'s experience in the school and her family.

En bidende kold martsnat brast mine drømme i tusinde stykker, og i på øjeblik forsvandt det liv, jeg engang kendte, for altid.På den efterfølgende rejse med sorgen som min følgesvend, fandt jeg mig selv uden retning. Som en tom båd der viljeløs driver afsted. Aldrig før har ensomhedens dyb føltes så tydeligt. Men som fugl Føniks steg jeg op fra asken og fandt en spire af håb og lys.Denne bog er til dig, der har mistet en elsket. I bogen deler jeg blandt andet hvad jeg selv har gjort for at finde fodfæste igen, da tragedien ramte og jeg mistede min mand.Må den væve et tæppe af håb, oplyse din vej og give dig styrke til at fortsætte, selvom dit hjerte er fyldt med savn.

5.000 Kilometer durch Amerika - Tim Voors nimmt uns mit auf die einzigartige Wanderung entlang des Continental Divide Trail.Als längster Fernwanderweg, der durch ein einziges Land führt, steht der CDT auf der Wunschliste jedes ambitionierten Wanderers. Bekannt für seine Schönheit und gleichzeitige Unberechenbarkeit ist der CDT ein Ausdauertest, der Vielseitigkeit und Anpassungsfähigkeit an die Launen der Natur abverlangt. Jedes Jahr machen sich nur wenige auf, um dieses Ziel tatsächlich zu erreichen. Tim Voors war 2022 einer von ihnen. Im Alter von 50 Jahren hat er die Strecke in unter fünf Monaten zurückgelegt und damit nach dem Pacific Crest Trail, auf dem wir ihn in dem mit gestalten veröffentlichten Allein begleiten konnten, den zweiten der drei Triple-Crown-Wege begangen. Sieben Millionen Schritte und die 15-fache Anzahl der Höhenmeter, die es braucht, um den Mount Everest zu besteigen, sind nur zwei Zahlen, die versuchen, diese Herausforderung fassbar zu machen.The Great Divide ist mehr als nur eine Geschichte - es ist eine Einladung, eigene Grenzen zu erkunden und das Unbekannte zu umarmen.

'A wonderfully accessible exploration of one of the most complex problems of our age' TELEGRAPH'Magic Pill will help you think more clearly about eating, dieting, health and mental health, even if you never touch Ozempic' JONATHAN HAIDTThe bestselling author of Lost Connections and Stolen Focus takes a revelatory look at the new drugs transforming weight loss as we know it - sharing his personal experience on Ozempic and examining our ability to heal society's dysfunctional relationship with food, weight and our bodies. In January 2023, Johann Hari started to inject himself once a week with Ozempic, one of the new drugs that produces significant weight loss. He wasn't alone - some predictions suggest that in a few years, one in four of the British population will be taking these drugs. While around 80 per cent of diets fail, someone taking one of the new drugs is likely to lose up to a quarter of their body weight in six months. To the drugs' defenders, this is a moment of liberation from a condition that massively increases your chances of diabetes, cancer and an early death. Still, Hari was wildly conflicted. Can these drugs really be as good as they sound? Are they a magic solution - or a magical illusion? Finding the answer to this high-stakes question led him on a journey from Iceland to Minneapolis to Tokyo, and to interview the leading experts in the world on these issues. He found that along with the drugs' massive benefits come twelve significant potential risks. He also learned that these drugs radically challenge what we think we know about shame, willpower and healing. These drugs are about to change our world, for better and for worse. Everybody needs to understand how they work - scientifically, emotionally and culturally. Magic Pill is an essential guide to the revolution that has already begun - and which one leading expert argues could be as transformative as the invention of the smartphone.'A brilliant synthesis of so much important information. Really important, and very necessary' STEPHEN FRY'Compassionate, wise and mind-expanding . . . A must read' PHILIPPA PERRY
