Most of us want to feel empowered, like we have control of our own lives. We want to make the choices about how we go through life, how we work, how we play and how we relate to people. But sometimes our best intentions are torpedoed by a silent force inside all of us. It is our small, silent but powerful army of habits. Habits are the way we behave automatically, the things we do without thinking. We have learned how to do them but we do not control them. They crop up unexpectedly when we least want them and make us do what they want. Some of these habits are good and they help us get ahead in life but some are also bad and highly destructive. In his book entitled Creating Good Habits Breaking Bad Habits author James Wilcox discusses in detail the science of habits and shows you step by step how to create good habits while eliminating the bad ones.

The Aesthetic Discourse of the Arts Breaking the Barriers


Free Download The Aesthetic Discourse of the Arts: Breaking the Barriers By Anna-Teresa Tymieniecka (auth.), Anna-Teresa Tymieniecka (eds.)
2000 | 281 Pages | ISBN: 9401058474 | PDF | 8 MB
The fine arts first emerged divided by the five senses yet, since their very origin, they have projected aesthetic networks among themselves. Music, song, painting, architecture, sculpture, theatre, dance – distinct in themselves – grew together, enhancing each other. In the present outburst of technical ingeniosity, individual arts cross all barriers, as well as proliferate in kind. Hence the traditional criteria of appreciation and enjoyment vanish. The enlarged and ever-growing field calls for new principles of appreciation and new values, essential to our culture. This collection initiates an inquiry into the aesthetic foundations of the fine arts. Their common aesthetic nature, as well as the differentiating specificities which sustain them, might reveal the universal role of aesthetics in human life. Studies by Paula Carabell, J. Fiori Blanchfield, R. Riese Hubert, R. Gray, D. Lipten, J. Parsons, S. Brown, C. Osowie Ruoff, T. Raczka, K. Karbenier and others.

Breaking the Social Media Prism How to Make Our Platforms Less Polarizing


Free Download Breaking the Social Media Prism: How to Make Our Platforms Less Polarizing by Christopher A. Bail, Tim Fannon, Recorded Books
English | 2021 | ISBN: B08TX58SB5 | 5 hours and 43 minutes | MP3@64 kbps | 121 Mb
A revealing look at how user behavior is powering deep social divisions online – and how we might yet defeat political tribalism on social media.
In an era of increasing social isolation, platforms like Facebook and Twitter are among the most important tools we have to understand each other. We use social media as a mirror to decipher our place in society, but, as Chris Bail explains, it functions more like a prism that distorts our identities, empowers status-seeking extremists, and renders moderates all but invisible. Breaking the Social Media Prism challenges common myths about echo chambers, foreign misinformation campaigns, and radicalizing algorithms, revealing that the solution to political tribalism lies deep inside ourselves.
Drawing on innovative online experiments and in-depth interviews with social media users from across the political spectrum, this book explains why stepping outside of our echo chambers can make us more polarized, not less. Bail takes you inside the minds of online extremists through vivid narratives that trace their lives on the platforms and off – detailing how they dominate public discourse at the expense of the moderate majority. Wherever you stand on the spectrum of user behavior and political opinion, he offers fresh solutions to counter political tribalism from the bottom up and the top down. He introduces new apps and bots to help listeners avoid misperceptions and engage in better conversations with the other side. Finally, he explores what the virtual public square might look like if we could hit "reset" and redesign social media from scratch through a first-of-its-kind experiment on a new social media platform built for scientific research.
