Whether we need to make better financial choices, find the love of our life, or transform our career, crowdsourcing is the key to making quicker, wiser, more objective decisions. But few of us even come close to tapping the full potential of our online personal networks. Lior Zoref offers proven guidelines for applying what he calls "mind sharing" in new ways. For instance, he shows how a mother's Facebook update saved the life of a four-year-old boy, and how a manager used LinkedIn to create a year's worth of market research in less than a day. Zoref's clients are using his techniques to innovate and problem-solve in record time. Now he reveals how crowdsourcing has the ability to supercharge our thinking and upgrade every aspect of our lives.

Marketers often use the term mindshare to illustrate the popularity of a brand. But its implications go much deeper than influencing purchase behavior. Mindshare is a gift-a form of creative commerce and collective intelligence. Told in a rich, lyrical style, Mindshare is a portrait of the modern creative mind and a narrative of its process, a practical guide, and a plea for ambition that captures the imagination by exploring the dynamic nature of creativity and innovation as a multifaceted, integrated craft and the creation of consciousness. This book explores innovation within the audacious scope and framework that truly illustrates its paradoxical and kaleidoscopic nature. It empowers us with the notion that innovation is an intrinsic collective power driven by the same creative instinct that fuels our desires, seeks pleasure, strives to be better, and dares to discover new worlds. This reveals a groundbreaking worldview-that the essence of life is not survival but creation. Building a remarkable brand, overcoming any challenge, and achieving anything in life are the result of design intelligence. Mindshare is about how organizations and individuals can use design strategies to be more innovative, distinctive, and successful. But it's also about our essential nature, how to use our creative instinct to live a more fulfilling life, and how creativity shapes the modern world. The awareness of this process achieves mindshare-an intrinsic collective power that has the potential to help us design a better world.

With A Theory of General Ethics Warwick Fox both defines the field of General Ethics and offers the first example of a truly general ethics. Specifically, he develops a single, integrated approach to ethics that encompasses the realms of interhuman ethics, the ethics of the natural environment, and the ethics of the built environment. Thus Fox offers what is in effect the first example of an ethical "Theory of Everything." Fox refers to his own approach to General Ethics as the "theory of responsive cohesion." He argues that the best examples in any domain of interest—from psychology to politics, from conversations to theories—exemplify the quality of responsive cohesion, that is, they hold together by virtue of the mutual responsiveness of the elements that constitute them. Fox argues that the relational quality of responsive cohesion represents the most fundamental value there is. He then develops the theory of responsive cohesion, central features of which include the elaboration of a "theory of contexts" as well as a differentiated model of our obligations in respect of all beings. In doing this, he draws on cutting-edge work in cognitive science in order to develop a powerful distinction between beings who use language and beings that do not. Fox tests his theory against eighteen central problems in General Ethics—including challenges raised by abortion, euthanasia, personal obligations, politics, animal welfare, invasive species, ecological management, architecture, and planning—and shows that it offers sensible and defensible answers to the widest possible range of ethical problems.
Donald (psychology, Queen's University, Canada) challenges the prevailing view that seeks to explain away human consciousness and presents a theory on the origins of the modern mind. He describes the cultural and neuronal forces that power human modes of awareness, and proposes that the human mind is a hybrid product of the interweaving of the brain with an invisible symbolic web of culture to form a "distributed" cognitive network. Using evidence from brain and behavioral studies of humans and animals, he explains how an expansion of consciousness transcends the limitations of the mammalian mind, and elaborates the foundations of self-evaluation and self-reflection. c.

The mind-body problem in philosophy is typically understood as a discourse concerning the relation of mental states to physical states, and the experience of sensation. On this level it seems to transcend issues of race and racism, but Another Mind-Body Problem demonstrates that racial distinctions have been an integral part of the discourse since the Modern period in philosophy. Reading figures such as Descartes, Leibniz, and Kant in their historical contexts, John Harfouch uncovers discussions of mind and body that engaged closely with philosophical and scientific notions of race in metaphysics and the philosophy of mind, in particular in understanding how the mind unites with the body at birth and is then passed on through sexual reproduction. Kant argued that a person's exterior body and interior psyche are bound together, that non-White people lacked reason, and that this lack of reason was carried on through reproduction such that non-Whites were an example of a union of mind and body without full being. Charting the development of this phenomenon from sixteenth-century medical literature to modern-day race discourse, Harfouch argues for new understandings of Descartes's mind-body problem, Fanon's experience of being 'not-yet human,' and the place of racism in relation to one of philosophy's most enduring and canonical problems.
Leading Scholar Explores Paul's Teaching on the Mind This major work by a leading New Testament scholar explores an important but neglected area of Pauline theology, Paul's teaching about the mind. In discussing matters such as the corrupted mind, the mind of Christ, and the renewal of the mind, Paul adapts language from popular intellectual thought in his day, but he does so in a way distinctively focused on Christ and Christ's role in the believer's transformation. Keener enables readers to understand this thought world so they can interpret Paul's language for contemporary Christian life. The book helps overcome a false separation between following the Spirit and using human judgment and provides a new foundation for relating biblical studies and Christian counseling.
Making Mind: Moral Sense and Consciousness in Philosophy, Science, and Literature posits the genesis of narrative as an adaptive function stemming from consciousness and moral sense. The book is unique with its idea of the individual character evolving narrative in relation to the group. Central to the argument is the claim that prehistorically, consciousness and moral sense intersected to form narrative. More than addressing the origin of story, the book examines and explains the evolution of narrative. The book is an interesting study of how our species-inherited moral sense can differ dramatically from one individual to another. While mores pertain to a group, narrative comes from and is processed by the individual and reaches its high point in the novel. We see how the moral sense works in characters as a monitor, and we feel it operating in us as readers in terms of approval, or not.
It is nice to learn how mysterious and complex the human mind is, who discovered the synapse, when, in what specific university, and what everyone was doing that day, but what you really want to know is how your mind functions, how you reason, how you have your feelings and ideas, and how your mind affects you in every detail. You want to know exactly what happens in your mind when you watch the painting of Renoir with the beautiful woman wearing the white dress and playing the grand piano and why it makes you enjoy a beautiful moment then, compared to watching sofas and armchairs. You want to know all details related to how a simple yellow car on the road can remind you of your best friend and of all the loving moments that you once had, through what cognitive mechanisms it happens, and even more, you want to know why it reminds you of your friend sometimes, while other times it associates with work, rain, and shopping. How exactly does the mind know all these? Since it is interesting as it happens, while it remains at an unconscious level, and you just cannot find out how it takes place, in order to be able to control it and use it whenever you desire. You want to know exactly how you are able to predict the displacement of a tennis ball in order to hit it perfectly in an instant giving its exact speed, direction, and angular momentum necessary to win, and doing so long before your conscious mind even perceives the ball. How can your subconscious do so without your conscious mind, while the conscious mind should be more capable and therefore better prepared according to science? What is the exact cognitive mechanism? Because if you can only know it, all your strategies in life can become flawless. You want to know exactly how your mind is able to solve advanced mathematical problems and how it retrieves on its own the proper knowledge in order to perform very abstract operations. How does everything happen? How do you have your ideas in mathematics, business, and art? What is the human creativity, and how can the human mind achieve it at will and in all domains? What exactly makes your brain perform better or worse under all circumstances, and why exactly is reasoning different in everybody? How do you perform abstract thinking? How do you imagine? How exactly does your mind generate plans and strategies related to important future events? How do you comprehend and enjoy various topics in psychology, literature, mathematics, art, and music? How do you love? How does everything happen within your mind, brain, and the entire organism? Because this is of interest, this is what you want to know, while this is what you actually need in life, since without these, you cannot understand your mind, the extraordinary human mind. And since your mind and reasoning integrate you in life and in the world, now you cannot understand yourself, life, the world, and your place and meaning in life and in the world without understanding the human mind along with the human reasoning. While it is meaningful to know these well, otherwise you end up doing everything else instead of reasoning accurately, developing entirely, and behaving adequately in life and in the world. Since ignorance always harms the world, while now it even has its own cause, the lack of accurate knowledge about the human mind. Throughout this book, we create a comprehensive mental model for the human mind, including its structure, abilities, development, interconnectivity, reasoning, and further meanings, allowing you to understand yourself and your entire cognition. If you want to understand the human mind in all its meaningful details, this book is for you.
