Game»rank: 354par: Neil Strauss
Chroniques et points de vue: :Are you just another AFC ('average frustrated chump') trying to meet an HB ('hot babe')? How would you like to 'full-close' with a Penthouse Pet of the Year? The answers, my friend, are in Neil Strauss's entertaining book The Game. Strauss was a self-described chick repellant--complete with large, bumpy nose, small, beady eyes, glasses, balding head, and, worst of all, painful shyness around women. He felt like 'half a man.' That is, until a book editor asked him to investigate the community of pickup artists. Strauss's life was transformed. He ... |

The Selfish Gene: 30th Anniversary edition»rank: 591par: Richard Dawkins
Chroniques et points de vue:From :lnheriting the mantle of revolutionary biologist from Darwin, Watson, and Crick, Richard Dawkins forced an enormous change in the way we see ourselves and the world with the publication of The Selfish Gene. Suppose, instead of thinking about organisms using genes to reproduce themselves, as we had since Mendel's work was rediscovered, we turn it around and imagine that 'our' genes build and maintain us in order to make more genes. That simple reversal seems to answer many puzzlers which had stumped scientists for years, and we haven't thought ... |

Guns Germs And Steel»rank: 203par: Jared Diamond
Chroniques et points de vue:From :Explaining what William McNeill called The Rise of the West has become the central problem in the study of global history. ln Guns, Germs, and Steel Jared Diamond presents the biologist's answer: geography, demography, and ecological happenstance. Diamond evenhandedly reviews human history on every continent since the lce Age at a rate that emphasizes only the broadest movements of peoples and ideas. Yet his survey is binocular: one eye has the rather distant vision of the evolutionary biologist, while the other eye--and his heart--belongs to the people of New ... |

Wherever You Go There You Are»rank: 459par: Jon Kabatzinn
Chroniques et points de vue:From :ln his follow-up to Full Catastrophe Living--a book in which he presented basic meditation techniques as a way of reducing stress and healing from illness--here Jon Kabat-Zinn goes much more deeply into the practice of meditation for its own sake. To Kabat-Zinn, meditation is important because it brings about a state of 'mindfulness,' a condition of 'being' rather than 'doing' during which you pay attention to the moment rather than the past, the future, or the multitudinous distractions of modern life. ln brief, rather poetic chapters, he describes different ... |
