Nobody forces you to do anything, we know that you have some anger because many on social media insist that you spend time learning hundreds of courses and reading thousands of books, while you want some sleep on the sofa and you do not do anything at all, we all feel this desire The urgency to do nothing, but could this help you bypass all the anxiety accompanying the new atmosphere we are all experiencing?
You can continue for a week or two without doing anything, but over time the tension will increase gradually to not be able to exceed it, but one of the most important ways that can help you reduce this pregnancy is to follow a routine daily that includes exercise or learning Or work or even entertainment, and the idea is simply to feel you are required to do something, and this will return you - albeit partially - to the nature of your normal day.
In all cases, we will try in this report, as much as possible, to stand on a simple point that makes this routine something of a measure of pleasure. The writer considered that his choices should be cognitive, but he also cared, along with our usual conditions that include simplicity, that This collection of books helps you achieve a different vision of the world through the very interesting ideas presented by the author.
Brain: The Legend of Genesis
Let's start with, for example, from David Egelman, the American neuroscientist from Stanford University, where in his book "The Brain: The Story of You", he offers us a very interesting dose of the very strange properties of this underweight member Just a kilogram and a half, in six chapters, the book opens the door for you, not for the answers to your questions, but for dozens of new questions that you will ask after you finish each chapter of it, so each of them begins with a question.
Is everything around you, everything you see, hear and realize in general, real? It may be a little strange, but the answer is that it is not so, in fact, what we realize is the closest thing to distortion that we all agree on, but it is not the reality in reality, do you make your decisions yourself? Do you have free will? Are there things that you don't realize but influence your decisions? Are you just a group of complex nerve signals interacting together or are you "you"? Well, this book on the mind is really capable of blowing up your mind because of the amount of excitement it offers, especially with Eugelman's genuinely creative approach to neuroscience, and he's one of the very few who possess this ability so smoothly in this range.
Weapons, germs and steel
Now let's leave neuroscience aside and ask a little bit with Jared Diamond, a physiology professor from the University of California who later became a professor of geography at the same university and his interests also varied between history and anthropology, about the origins of our contemporary civilization, did it arise because of our intelligence or our endurance only, or is it that Other reasons stand in the background of every progress we have made? This pours into another important question: Why did European society advance while primitive peoples in Africa, Australia and the Americas remained primitive?
In this special book on Diamond, "Weapons, Germs and Steel", you are on a date with an exceptional dose of excitement, undoubtedly, during which you will not only be able to know the secret of this enormous difference between Europeans and primitive peoples, but you will also learn about our abundant origins through more than 10 thousand A year ago, how things like the animals we domesticated or the pills we ate had a great impact on our entire historical itinerary. There is no doubt that this book will be one of the signs that you always remembered well.
The science of plant desire
From history and anthropology, let's talk about a book that many of us may not have heard of, unfortunately it has not yet been translated into Arabic as far as we know, which is "The Botany of Desire" by Michael Pollan, a well-known journalist and professor of non-fiction practice at Harvard University, the writer Known as another famous book translated into Arabic, it is the book "The Rules of Food", published by Jarir Publishing House some time ago.
To understand the secret of the beauty of this book, let me start with a simple question: What if the apple makes the decision whether to eat it or not? You might be surprised by this, you saw it on the market, it was attractive red and swollen, then I took it home, then at some point between lunch and dinner she decided to devour it while reading an interesting book, but what if it was the apple that developed itself to fit your desires to devour Something attractive, with a sugary charm?
In this book, Bulan shows us our human behavior throughout our history, but from the point of view of an apple, a potato, marijuana promises, and a beautiful tulip, using the simple natural selection mechanism and what we know as joint development to understand how these plants penetrated Our life attracted us more and more to the point that apples were once a global craze, or when tulips caused a huge European economic bubble, or we may only understand the secret of this intense attraction to the cannabis plant to the point that some of us may go to prison in order to obtain them, how did these plants change Our life while we think we are the one who changed his life a?
Strangest Men: The Secret Life of Paul Dirac
This is really interesting, but the most exciting is undoubtedly the personality of Paul Dirac, the well-known physicist with Noble and one of the founders of quantum mechanics, this man was a very complicated figure, surprisingly few, even if an interlocutor from the "Wisconsin State Journal" - himself Once - after a long effort he managed to get only 20 words from Dirak in a conversation with him, ranging from "yes" to "no" and adding "Chinese chess" when asked about the love of games to his heart, and another answer "once in the year 1920 and perhaps Another in the year 1930 "when he was asked:" When did you go to the movies? "
At first glance, this seems to be something very cruel and cold, and Dirac has appeared to some as an arrogant, chaste, and perhaps rude person, with an enlarged soul, but that was not true, he was a simple person who was easy to embarrass, and he just wanted to live the simplest life possible so that He only interferes with what he means in his book, "The Strangest Man: The Hidden Life of Paul Dirac." For attention, in the life of this mysterious one-dimensional man.
Imperial medicine and local communities
Finally, let's change the style of our suggestions a little bit with a book that might look very cool from its title, “Imperial Medicine and Local Communities” edited by David Arnold, which is really different in several things. His topic is the history of Western medicine in the colonies in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, and its style already A bit cold, as well as - easy and ironic - it takes a pattern that is not as easy as the first books, but there is one simple goal of placing it on this list, which is that it may change your point of view quite simply from what we humans are.
You will understand what we mean when you consider the Indians' tales with the English and the serum of smallpox they brought for example, or how the New Zealand indigenous people - who are hundreds of years behind the contemporary world - dazzled the English sailors with their sporty, healthy and interacting nature of their lives, or how people responded in sub-Saharan Africa For the coming of colonialism and its medicine to their countries, for a moment you might think that they were just a group of ignorant people who refused treatment for their diseases, but once they calm down a little and go with the book until you find that they have strong justifications, justifications are now one of the areas that study the history of colonialism as an idea and philosophy.
Well, we've finished our nominations which we promise to be really fun while making an effort to digest them. The most important thing is not always the book itself, not the paper or ink or concepts or information presented to you, the words may be difficult, and the conventions may be complicated especially in other than narrations, and you may need to make some effort to understand a point, but the most important is always the view that You will get it with every book, which will change your idea of this world with its strangeness and complexity, which in turn will change your idea of yourself, so that the summary of this book becomes part of yourself, from the way you see everything else.
