    Brain Myths Exploded: Lessons from NeuroscienceBrain Myths Exploded: Lessons from Neuroscience by The Great Courses

    Over 400 5-Star Reviews!

    Much of the layperson’s knowledge of the brain is predicated on a lack of understanding about this mysterious organ. To start building a more straightforward, accurate understanding of current breakthroughs in neuroscience, you have to start by shattering popular brain myths.

    Each of these 24 lectures takes as its focus a single powerful, prevalent brain myth, and uses it as a launch pad from which to explore myriad topics in neuroscience: decision making, memory, dreams, emotions, neuroplasticity, consciousness, mental illness, and much more.

    Our memory is an accurate, objective record of the past. Our senses reflect the world as it really exists. Our dreams have hidden meanings. We are only using 10% of our total brain power. Modern technology (including social media) is making us less intelligent. Dr. Viskontas doesn’t just settle for obliterating these and other myths. Instead, she replaces them with scientific facts gathered from experiments, research, and case studies. The result is an eye-opening adventure into the latest understanding of why the brain works the way it does.

    Whatever order you enjoy these lectures in, you’ll be left with insights that will help you better determine the hard scientific truths behind the breaking news (and myths) of tomorrow.

    So Good They Can't Ignore YouSo Good They Can’t Ignore You by Cal Newport

    Over 1,000 5-Star Reviews!

    In this eye-opening account, Cal Newport debunks the long-held belief that "follow your passion" is good advice.

    Not only is the cliché flawed – pre-existing passions are rare and have little to do with how most people end up loving their work – but it can also be dangerous, leading to anxiety and chronic job hopping.

    After making his case against passion, Newport sets out on a quest to discover the reality of how people end up loving what they do. Spending time with organic farmers, venture capitalists, screenwriters, freelance computer programmers, and others who admitted to deriving great satisfaction from their work, Newport uncovers the strategies they used and the pitfalls they avoided in developing their compelling careers.

    Matching your job to a preexisting passion does not matter, he reveals. Passion comes after you put in the hard work to become excellent at something valuable, not before.

    In other words, what you do for a living is much less important than how you do it.

    So Good They Can’t Ignore You will change the way we think about our careers, happiness, and the crafting of a remarkable life.

    A High-End FinishA High-End Finish by Kate Carlisle

    Over 200 5-Star Reviews!

    In the seaside town of Lighthouse Cove in northern California, everyone knows the best man for the job is actually a woman – contractor Shannon Hammer. But while Shannon can do wonders with a power drill and a little elbow grease, she’s about to discover that some problems aren’t so easily fixed…

    Shannon’s home-renovation and repair business is booming, but her love life needs work. On a blind date with real-estate agent Jerry Saxton, she has to whip out a pair of pliers to keep Jerry from getting too hands on. Shannon is happy to put her rotten date behind her, but when Jerry’s found dead in a run-down Victorian home that she’s been hired to restore, the town’s attractive new police chief suspects that her threats may have laid the foundation for murder.

    Determined to clear her name, Shannon conducts her own investigation – with the help of her four best friends, her eccentric father, a nosy neighbor or two, and a handsome crime writer who’s just moved to town. But as they get closer to prying out the murderer’s identity, Shannon is viciously attacked. Now she’ll have to nail down the truth – or end up in permanent foreclosure…
