The science of emotion is in the midst of a revolution on par with the discovery of relativity in physics and natural selection in biology. Leading the charge is psychologist and neuroscientist Lisa Feldman Barrett, whose research overturns the long-standing belief that emotions are automatic, universal, and hardwired in different brain regions. Instead, Barrett shows, we construct each instance of emotion through a unique interplay of brain, body, and culture.

Democracy has been hollowed out by capitalism. A narrow view of markets and their aims now dominates thinking about democracy itself. Citizens are ignorant of the deep principles of self-governance, having long since adopted a facile equation between democracy and voting as a consumer choice. Lisa Herzog argues that democracy is still possible, but only if democratic values get embedded in everyday experience―including economic experience. That requires new ways of thinking about markets and their goals.

Does happiness come from the pursuit of pleasure or moral virtue? A vivid new translation of Cicero’s exploration of a timeless question.

When the opossum feels threatened, she becomes paralyzed. Her body temperature plummets, her breathing and heart rates drop to a minimum, and her glands simulate the smell of a putrefying corpse. Playing Possum explores what the opossum and other creatures can teach us about how we and other species understand mortality, and demonstrates that the concept of death, far from being a uniquely human attribute, is widespread in the animal kingdom.

Andrea Wenk räumt in ihrem Buch mit diesen Erwartungen auf und bekennt sich selbstbewusst zu ihren eigenen Grenzen. Dabei bezieht sie sich in ihrem Buch auf Psalm 147,14: "Gott schafft deinen Grenzen Frieden", aus dem sie immer wieder Kraft und Ermutigung in ihrem Leben geschöpft hat. Frieden innerhalb der eigenen Grenzen zu finden, bedeutet für die Autorin dabei nicht, starr zu werden, oder sich nicht zu verändern. Es bedeutet für sie vielmehr, mit dem, was man hat, zu leben, zu wachsen und die Fülle darin zu entdecken. Die Autorin macht Frauen Mut, dem Perfektionismus die Stirn zu bieten und zu erkennen: Gott liebt mich genauso, wie ich bin!

Today, enhancement is often conceived of in terms of biotechnical intervention: genetic modification, prostheses, implants, drug therapy - even mind uploading. The theme of this book is an ancient form of enhancement: a physical upgrade that involves ethical practices of self-realization. It has been called 'angelification' - a transformation by which people become angels.
