Against Empathy book cover
Against Empathy
The Case for Rational Compassion
Paul Bloom - 2016-12-06
Рейтинг Goodreads
Discover why Yale researcher Paul Bloom argues against the common belief that empathy is the ultimate source of goodness in society. In Against Empathy, Bloom uses groundbreaking scientific findings to reveal how empathy is a capricious and irrational emotion that leads to inequality and immorality. Instead of relying on empathy, he encourages a more distanced compassion for clearer, fairer, and ultimately more moral decisions and choices in all aspects of our lives. This urgent and humane book shows that limiting our impulse towards empathy may be the most compassionate choice we can make.

Как талантливые дилетанты становятся победителями по жизни
David Epstein - 2019-05-28
Рейтинг Goodreads
Эта книга перевернет ваши представления о пути к профессиональному успеху! Революционный подход Дэвида Эпштейна, магистра экологических наук и журналистики, ставит под сомнение идею 10 000 часов. Он исследовал примеры самых успешных спортсменов, художников, музыкантов, нобелевских лауреатов и ученых и обнаружил, что в большинстве областей ранняя и узкая специализация – не синоним результата. Именно универсалы — изобретательные и гибкие люди с широким кругозором и большим жизненным опытом — рулят в мире больших скоростей.

Безумные идеи
Как не упустить кажущиеся бредовыми идеи, способные выигрывать войны, искоренять болезни и менять целые отрасли
Safi Bahcall - 2019-03-19
Рейтинг Goodreads
В своей книге физик и предприниматель Сафи Бэколл рассказывает о том, почему хорошие команды на корню губят великолепные идеи, почему мудрость масс превращается в тиранию, как небольшие изменения в структуре групп способны повлиять на их поведение и что может рассказать о человеческой природе и мировой истории стакан воды. На примерах из разных сфер жизни и реальных историях о замечательных людях автор показывает, каким образом современная наука поможет разобраться в функционировании компаний и судьбах империй. Все это вооружит вас инструментами, которые позволят стать инициатором перемен, а не жертвой новшеств, научат не отступать от истины и настойчиво идти к цели. Адресована тем, кто хочет понять, как безумные идеи меняют мир.
