If we put barriers up to silence ''unpleasant'' ideas, what''s to stop the silencing of any discussion? This book is a full-throated defense of free speech and open inquiry in politics, science, and culture by the New York Times bestselling author and skeptic Michael Shermer.

However, Dr. Michael Shermer is a very clear thinker, and the kind of skeptic that is always necessary to ensure that public thought, scientific and otherwise, maintains a certain clarity. He's a passionate advocate of free speech, for this and many other reasons - to the point of entitling his new book Giving the Devil His Due, which is devoted to many worthwhile topics, but to free speech above all.

This very well-written volume not only captures Maslow's work but infuses it with the spirit of inspiration. This book is a major advance in psychology. * Aaron T. Beck, M.D., professor emeritus of psychiatry, University of Pennsylvania *\u003cbr\u003eAs a pioneer of humanistic psychology, Maslow is frequently referenced but rarely un­derstood. Scott Barry Kaufman is here to change that. He does a first-rate job restoring the classic pyramid based on Maslow's own revisions and updating self-actualization in light of contemporary science. * Adam Grant, 'New York Times'–bestselling author of 'Originals' and 'Give and Take', and host of the 'WorkLife' podcast *\u003cbr\u003eIn this book Kaufman studies the legacy of Abraham Maslow's life's work in humanistic psychology and expands on this with his own insights and studies. The book gives us a path to self-actualization, to becoming the best person we can possibly become.

Scott Barry Kaufman manages to integrate more than seventy-five years of research on the subject to show that the only way to fully self-actualize is, paradoxically, by getting outside of one's self. This is one of the best books on human potential I've ever read. * Robert Greene, author of 'The Laws of Human Nature' *\u003cbr\u003eIn this ambitious work, Scott Barry Kaufman not only excavates the unfinished ele­ments of Maslow's famous hierarchy of needs, but updates and extends it with the latest science. Transcend is a compass for a life well lived. * David Epstein, 'New York Times'–bestselling author of 'Range' *\u003cbr\u003eScott Barry Kaufman is one of my favorite thinkers about the psychology of getting better and growing as a person. * Ryan Holiday, 'New York Times'–bestselling author of 'Stillness Is the Key' *\u003cbr\u003eBoth personal and universal, deep and engaging, easy to follow and mind-shifting, Transcend gives us a new understanding of Maslow's famous self-actualization model and shows us how we can all achieve the kind of life we aspire to. * Lori Gottlieb, 'New York Times'–bestselling author of 'Maybe You Should Talk to Someone' *\u003cbr\u003eIn an age focused on materialism and self-obsession, Kaufman boldly addresses the sci­ence of our deepest, most unanswered needs: connection, meaning, love, transcendence, and self-realization. A revolutionary book destined to become a classic. * Emma Seppälä, Ph.D., author of 'The Happiness Track', and science director, Center for Compassion and Altruism Research and Education, Stanford University *\u003cbr\u003eMany of the substantive issues humanistic psychology fought for in the middle part of the last century are now at the very core of modern psychology, regardless of your ap­proach or orientation. It is especially timely to revisit the work of one of the greatest humanists of all time, Abraham Maslow, and to update his insights based on the half a century of data that have accumulated since his death. Scott Barry Kaufman has done just that in this wide-ranging and delightful book. * Steven C. Hayes, codeveloper of acceptance and commitment therapy and author of 'A Liberated Mind' *\u003cbr\u003eIn this wise, creative, surprising, and exceedingly humane book, Scott Barry Kaufman provides a hierarchy of needs for the modern world, blending the insights of humanistic psychology with the finding of cutting-edge science. * Paul Bloom, Brooks and Suzanne Ragen Professor of Psychology, Yale University, and author of 'Against Empathy' *\u003cbr\u003eScott Barry Kaufman revivifies the wisdom of humanistic psychology for a new millen­nium. He does it with evidence and discernment, without turning the world into a nail. * Steven Pinker, professor of psychology, Harvard University, and 'New York Times'–bestselling author of 'Enlightenment Now' *\u003cbr\u003eSynthesizing Maslow's wisdom with modern research, Scott Barry Kaufman takes our understanding of the good life to higher planes. Maslow would have been proud! * Tal Ben-Shahar, cofounder of the Happiness Studies Academy *\u003cbr\u003eThere are many books about happiness. There are fewer about living a good life-not a fixed state of being, but an ongoing process that encourages creativity, challenge, and meaning. Transcend is such a book: original, grounded in modern research, and thor­oughly practical. * Sean Carroll, author of 'Something Deeply Hidden: Quantum Worlds and the Emergence of Spacetime' *\u003cbr\u003eDrawing on a vast range of source material, Kaufman has singlehandedly helped to reposition Maslow and humanistic psychology from the periphery to the center of mainstream psychological inquiry. A scientifically grounded, splendidly accessible road map for the spiritual and philosophical uplift of our field. * Kirk Schneider, Ph.D., author of 'The Spirituality of Awe' *\u003cbr\u003eReading \u003ci\u003eTranscend \u003c\/i\u003ewould bring a broad smile to Maslow's face and maybe even a shout of 'Someone finally gets it.' Often he spoke in our seminars at Brandeis of his frustration that so few understood his work. Scott Barry Kaufman not only shows a rare and pro­found understanding of Maslow's ideas but, for the first time in fifty years, expands our knowledge of Maslow's core concepts. This book is worthy of being in every thinking person's library and being read more than once. * L. Ari Kopolow, M.D., clinical assistant professor of psychiatry, George Washington University; president emeritus, Suburban Maryland Psychiatric Society; and former student of Abraham Maslow *\u003cbr\u003eThis is one of the most comprehensive books on what psychology has to say about the path to personal fulfillment. I walked away with a new, sophisticated lens for viewing the motivations behind my actions. I suspect readers will be equally enlightened. * Todd B. Kashdan, Ph.D., professor of psychology, George Mason University, and author of 'The Upside of Your Dark Side' *\u003cbr\u003eWith wisdom from many fields, and paths and principles to live, this book will enable you to rise to the greatest challenge of our times: to arrive at a new sense of ourselves that is kinder, more inclusive, and oriented to creating a better world. This is a pro­foundly important and timely book. * Dacher Keltner, professor of psychology, University of California, Berkeley *\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"John Murray Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48738929115479,"sku":"9781399805582","price":15.29,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781399805582.jpg?v=1720050607"},{"product_id":"quit-the-power-of-knowing-when-to-walk-away-9781529146165","title":"Quit: The Power of Knowing When to Walk Away","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e'Brilliant and entertaining' \u003ci\u003eDaniel Kahneman\u003c\/i\u003e   'Quit what you are doing right now and read this' \u003ci\u003eRichard Thaler\u003c\/i\u003e   'Engrossing, important, and grounded in science' \u003ci\u003eKaty Milkman\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhat if the secret to success is not just hard work, but knowing when to change track?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this game-changing guide, decision-making expert Annie Duke shows why quitting what holds you back is essential for success.

This updated second edition captures the significant changes in recent years in how mental health and ill health is conceptualised and understood, and in how mental health care is delivered. It demonstrates how the person-centred approach can help occupy the space that is opening up as mental health professionals look for alternatives to the medical model. And, while acknowledging the chasm that separates person-centred practice from the mainstream medical model, it argues for collaborative working with these fellow mental health professionals. Contributors from across the fields of research, policy-making and practice explore aspects of theory, professionalism, the role of culture, and the politics of the person-centred approach in relation to mental health.They demonstrate how Rogers' theories of personality and the actualising process are able to provide a model of human functioning that is relevant not just to counselling but to all mental health professions, and beyond, to the social sciences. They give examples of how the person-centred approach is being applied successfully in practice (and successfully evaluated). They offer personal testament to the challenges and creative dynamics of working in a person-centred way within mainstream contexts, and they review the vibrant political and professional divisions and arguments that continue to inform thinking and practice today. New chapters examine the influence of the national Improving Access to Psychological Therapies (IAPT) programme in England, and how researchers are successfully overcoming the challenge of evaluating the effectiveness of person-centred approaches to severe mental distress.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePrefaceSection I: IntroductionsChapter 1.

This book celebrates wildness, both in global ecosystems and in the human psyche. Totton argues that embracing unpredictability and boundlessness is vital for our wellbeing and, in these times of environmental crisis, for the survival of humans and other-than-humans. Drawing on psychotherapy, philosophy, ecology, anthropology, futuristic fiction and much other literature, he shows the links between domesticated civilisation and the destruction of the innate balance of ecosystems – including human relationships and psyches. This second edition builds on the first to suggest what a wild civilisation might be like, and how psychotherapy could help create it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'Wild Therapy is a breakout session in the plenary of creation. A revisitation of sorts. There are no tame gods here, no predetermined bodies with stable boundaries, no human exclusivities, no free-floating abstracted minds, no creatio ex nihilo. The noble human, sovereign and separate, freshly manufactured in the myths of the Enlightenment, is stolen from its ivory perch, smuggled through the back alleys of heaven, and composted in the fugitive enclaves of the wilds beyond those gilded fences. Here, in Nick Totton’s swift storytelling, we are furtive eavesdroppers on this seditious act of deconstruction; we are with-nesses to this cackling carnival of tricksters, liminal flows, mycorrhizal becomings, wild complexities, and animal onto-epistemologies. Their more-than-human operations and Nick’s faithful reportage will leave none of us intact, and – perhaps more critically – will leave therapy, in its dyadic configurations, forever undone. This is nothing short of the remaking of the human. The undoing of the therapist, the complexification of the client, and the politicisation of the clinical alliance. And it rings with a theological irreverence fit for the impasses of the Anthropocene. I should clap, but now I’m not sure where my hands are.' – Bayo Akomolafe, philosopher, writer, activist, professor of psychology, executive director of the Emergence Network, and author of These Wilds Beyond Our Fences. ; ‘Nick Totton offers something radical for all practising therapists to consider.  He challenges conventional ideas about attachment, containment, holding, safety and boundaries. Wildness is understood, not as a cure but as a much-needed corrective to the rigidities of our one-sided civilised and mature selves. The book is imbued with a profound – yet playful – recognition that therapy must involve risk. This means more than quietly accepting that depth work can be dangerous, but actively running towards it. As with all of Totton’s work, the political marches in step with the psychological as individual distress is reframed as originating in systemic crisis and collapse. I think this is precisely the kind of book our stuck-in-the-mud trainings in counselling and psychotherapy should include on their reading lists. It is sharp, lucid, idiosyncratic in a good way – and the second edition advances the argument of the first in an exciting manner.’ – Professor Andrew Samuels, author of The Political Psyche and former chair, UK Council for Psychotherapy ; ‘For those who are not psychological practitioners, Wild Therapy takes some reading, yet there is a reward – an understanding of how to process the magnitude of the separation and loss of what was once our common home. Nick Totton shows how we can face the world as it is, how we can mourn what is no more and how we can ‘free hope’ to call into being the complex wild world of our imagination and use it to restore our severed connections with the human, the not-human and the beyond human world - the beautiful complex Wild.’ – Sarah Lunnon, co-founder Zero Hour Campaign, former spokesperson for Extinction Rebellion and former Green Party councillor ; ‘In our increasingly over-domesticated world, we are seeing the beginnings of a much-needed turn to the wild: rewilding the land shows just how easily it can recover when humans are in service to the earth rather than trying to control it. Likewise, in Wild Therapy, Nick Totton shows how our own wild nature can recover when we drop down into the body and relax our control. This book is a fascinating journey through the history of our relationship with ‘the wild’ in both land and psyche. It also invites therapists to rewild their practice. The many vignettes, together with Totton’s lively and original thinking, show how our lives are inextricably interwoven with animals, plants, elements and place. All of these relationships are naturally healing and need to be brought back into the work of healing trauma.’ – Mary-Jayne Rust, ecopsychotherapist and author of Towards an Ecopsychotherapy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction, 1.

Amy Alkon, science-based syndicated columnist and author of Unf*ckology: A Field Guide to Living with Guts and Confidence\u003cbr\u003e'The premise of Steve Stewart-Williams' magnificent contribution to the scientific study of human nature - an anthropologist from an alien planet visits Earth and tries to make sense of this bipedal ape called Homo sapiens - is one of those perspective-shifting thought experiments that results in readers gaining hitherto unknown insights into our peculiar species, and buries once and for all the fatuous blank slate model of humanity that discounts our deep connectedness to all other animals. A compelling read - I learned something new on every page.' Michael Shermer, Publisher of Skeptic, columnist for Scientific American,  Presidential Fellow of Chapman University and author of Heavens on Earth: The Scientific Search for the Afterlife, Immortality, and Utopia\u003cbr\u003e'This book is nothing short of brilliant, unpacking both the profound and the ridiculous in our emerging picture of human nature and cultural evolution. We won't really be the ape that understood the universe until we understand ourselves, and Steve Stewart-Williams has drawn us an irreplaceable roadmap.' Baba Brinkman, Science Rapper\u003cbr\u003e'This is an engaging, intriguing, and ultimately most satisfying look into what the human mind can do and how it got that way.' G. T. Dempsey, Geolounge (www.geolounge.com)\u003cbr\u003e'My response to Stewart-Williams's book was 'Damn, this is good!' Frankly, whether you are [an] advocate or detractor you should acquaint yourself with this book - love it or loathe it you will learn a lot from reading it. And you will find that reading to be a captivating, page-turning, voyage of discovery. Stewart-Williams is not only an experienced evolutionary psychologist but also a talented and insightful writer with a memorable turn of phrase.' Lance Workman, The Psychologist\u003cbr\u003e“A strength of the book is its writing style. The book is written with verve. It's playful, lighthearted, crisp, fast-paced, and yet accurate and concise. A reader can distill the basic foundations and examples of evolutionary psychology and cultural evolutionary theory here while enjoying the ride (read), whether or not they believe in aliens. I would recommend this book over older popular treatments of evolutionary psychology, or, say, Dawkins's 1976 classic The Selfish Gene … If said aliens nabbed Stewart-Williams and this book, they would find a sharp, fun, contemporary, succinct overview that best represents evolutionary psychology and also covers the basics of cultural evolutionary theory.' Peter Gray, Human Nature\u003cbr\u003e'Stewart-Williams succeeds in exposing the oddities in our behavior that do, in fact, require explanation … The Ape that Understood the Universe is a thrilling review of our best explanations of human behavior at a time when such theories are under attack … for those who are open to having their politically correct preconceptions challenged, The Ape that Understood the Universe is a wonderful entry point into learning how the scientific method works - it doesn't care what you believe, nor what you wish were true.' Logan Chipkin, Aero\u003cbr\u003e'Simply put, The Ape That Understood the Universe is a thorough, readable, and indispensable guide to the human species and how it operates.'

In morality, they include an emphasis upon our fundamental equality and a respect for human rights, including the right to lead one’s own life in one’s own way. These values are united within the framework of a world view, premised on the recognition we each have only one life to lead, and that it is each person’s own responsibility – no-one else’s – to live that life to the fullest possible extent.
