Thinking with Your Hands
An astounding account of how gesture, long overlooked, is essential to how we learn and interact, which “changes the way you think about yourself and the people around you.” (Ethan Kross, bestselling author of Chatter) We all know people who talk with their hands—but do they know what they’re saying with them? Our gestures can reveal and contradict us, and express thoughts we may not even know we’re thinking. In Thinking with Your Hands, esteemed cognitive psychologist Susan Goldin-Meadow argues that gesture is vital to how we think, learn, and communicate. She shows us, for instance, how the height of our gestures can reveal unconscious bias, or how the shape of a student’s gestures can track their mastery of a new concept—even when they’re still giving wrong answers. She compels us to rethink everything from how we set child development milestones, to what’s admissible in a court of law, to whether Zoom is an adequate substitute for in-person conversation. Sweeping and ambitious, Thinking with Your Hands promises to transform the way we think about language and communication.
Presence
MORE THAN HALF A MILLION COPIES SOLD: Learn the simple techniques you'll need to approach your biggest challenges with confidence. Have you ever left a nerve-racking challenge and immediately wished for a do over? Maybe after a job interview, a performance, or a difficult conversation? The very moments that require us to be genuine and commanding can instead cause us to feel phony and powerless. Too often we approach our lives' biggest hurdles with dread, execute them with anxiety, and leave them with regret.By accessing our personal power, we can achieve "presence," the state in which we stop worrying about the impression we're making on others and instead adjust the impression we've been making on ourselves. As Harvard professor Amy Cuddy's revolutionary book reveals, we don't need to embark on a grand spiritual quest or complete an inner transformation to harness the power of presence. Instead, we need to nudge ourselves, moment by moment, by tweaking our body language, behavior, and mind-set in our day-to-day lives.Amy Cuddy has galvanized tens of millions of viewers around the world with her TED talk about "power poses." Now she presents the enthralling science underlying these and many other fascinating body-mind effects, and teaches us how to use simple techniques to liberate ourselves from fear in high-pressure moments, perform at our best, and connect with and empower others to do the same.Brilliantly researched, impassioned, and accessible, Presence is filled with stories of individuals who learned how to flourish during the stressful moments that once terrified them. Every reader will learn how to approach their biggest challenges with confidence instead of dread, and to leave them with satisfaction instead of regret."Presence feels at once concrete and inspiring, simple but ambitious — above all, truly powerful." —New York Times Book Review
Dark Seduction and Persuasion Tactics
What kind of traits do charming people have? What are the psychological forces that lead some people to always choose the same lucky ones, while others will constantly be rejected and destined to live forever in the shadows? Did you fail to succeed in the attraction game? Do you struggle to understand how someone apparently mediocre, or less attractive than you, can actually have everything that they want? Most people today are sent out into society with a broken belief system, which they use to make choices that bring terrible results, both in life and relationships. Men have been conditioned to be the quintessential "good guy". They are trained to be overtly humble, kind and slaves to the belief that just "being themselves" is enough to attract and keep the partner of their dreams. Men are told to believe that conventional masculinity is toxic and to put women above their own interests, passions and purposes. This has led an entire generation of men to form very unhealthy attachments with women which, unfortunately, often constitute their only goal in life. These men spend their lives interacting with the opposite sex in absolute darkness, ignoring the fact that they are judged, rated, approved and rejected based on their unconscious reactions to female tests. If you had no idea that women challenge men - and why they have to - you are about to embark on a journey down a rarely travelled road - the more mysterious side of female psychology and the way women think. The playbook for women and life has changed, but most men still haven't figured it out. Do you want to be successful and level up in every area of your life? If so, this book explains: - The biological drives of men and women, and how to use them to their best advantage.- The fundamental principles of dark psychology and seduction, enabling you to become more charismatic and create instant confidence.- Effective body language techniques to make you irresistible.- Strategies to maximise your looks, your money, your social status and create an attractive lifestyle.- Understanding the various types of seducers and mastering identity shifting to seduce anyone. Powerful hacks of persuasion, manipulation and power strategies to gain respect and trust.- How to get genuine craving from a woman who wants to go out with you.- Everything you need to know to successfully maintain a long-term relationship.- Bonus chapter: How to become one of the top 20% of men or women who get it right when dating online. No matter what your background, knowledge of dark psychology will allow you to fulfil your destiny. I constantly see special people, being rejected, heartbroken and it hurts. I want to help you so you don't end up like all the other lonely guys out there. You will become the kind of person who can map anyone to get what she wants. So now, let me ask you a question. Where will you be in 30 days? Will you be stuck in the same old patterns and habits that have held you back for years? Will you still be struggling through the same mental attitudes and limiting beliefs that have stunted your growth and held you back from greatness throughout your life? Or will you be bold and finally understand the dark psychology of human behaviour? Will you become a man whose calendar is filled with exciting dates with beautiful women, epic adventures with friends and experiences you once thought were reserved only for the elite? Will you be a man capable of transforming his reality into a living masterpiece that breathes his creation? In light of this information, you have no choice. Read this book now!

Young Children’s Play Practices with Digital Tablets
The ebook version of this title is Open Access, thanks to Knowledge Unlatched funding, and is freely available to read online. This book presents how young children's current practices when playing with tablets inform digital experiences in Denmark and Japan. Through an interdisciplinary lens and a grounded theory approach, Fróes identifies and maps these practices, which compose the taxonomy of tablet play and proposes a series of theoretical concepts that complement recent theories related to play and digital literacy studies. Tablet devices bring with them not only a multitude of options, but they also help create notions of digital space and environments defining emerging territories in young children's play experiences. Young children play with these devices and have fun indulging in digital worlds, while discovering and problem-solving with a variety of narratives and interfaces encountered on these digital playgrounds. A set of tablet play characteristics, such as multimodal applications (apps) combined with tablets' physical and digital affordances shape children's digital play. The data collected through observations informed some noteworthy aspects, including how children's hands gain and perform an embodied knowledge of digital spaces. This embodied knowledge develops through digital play interactions, defining what is proposed as digital penmanship. Complementary to the penmanship, several symbols and a range of modes of use shape a rich multimodal semiotic vocabulary in children's digital play experiences. These early digital experiences set the rules for the playgrounds and assert digital tablets as twenty-first-century toys, shaping young children's playful literacy.
Liar Detector
Become A Human Lie And Truth Detector Lying is an ingrained instinct. Humans learn to lie by the age of three and just keep on lying into adulthood. On average, people will lie 3 times or more in a ten minute conversation with a stranger or acquaintance. Does this sound unbelievable? Or maybe, you just don’t know how to spot the lies. There are many types of lies in this world: little white lies, big lies, small lies, omissions, exaggerations, and unconscious lies. Everyone lies at some point in their life. However, some people do it more often than others. It can lead to an immense amount of frustration when dealing with habitually dishonest people. It may be a teenager that you suspect isn’t telling the entire truth about their late-night out or a co-worker is constantly bragging about achievements that you doubt they completed. You may have a relative that always denies what they said at that last family gathering or maybe you just want your spouse to tell you what they actually think about your newest sweater. Regardless of the circumstances, there are often many everyday situations that make you want to know the complete truth. But how does one go about finding out if someone is actually lying? Most people can only successfully spot a lie about 50% of the time. Many people also think that only polygraphs can tell when people are lying. But what if you could become a human polygraph?

If this sounds like an appealing prospect, strap yourself into the lie detector's chair with the "Liar Detector." In this guide you’ll learn:* Psychological motives behind lying* Physical body language of falsehoods* Verbal cues to pick up lies in one's words* Subtleties to spot dishonesty in the digital age* Guidelines on when and how to confront the fibber* Strategies to both detect the lie and draw out the truth* Applications for confidence in lie detection and confrontation* And much more!

Calm the Crying
One of the world’s foremost parenting experts offers a revolutionary guide for translating a crying baby’s urgent messages. Like many new parents, Priscilla Dunstan was at her wit’s end trying to ease the crying of her colicky infant son. Then she made a startling discovery: His sounds varied according to his needs, and she could decipher their meaning by tracking the sound as a physical reflex. Unlike learned languages, Dunstan soon realized, every newborn from birth to three months possesses a natural, reflexive communication system for signaling hunger, tiredness, the need to burp, lower gas, and general discomfort. Thirteen years of research culminated in the Dunstan Baby Language, now made available to all caregivers in Calm the Crying.Helping readers learn to recognize and respond to exactly what their baby needs, Dunstan’s remarkable program covers ten sounds in total that can be identified and used to calm a baby. Brimming with diagrams and photographs, Calm the Crying reduces the frustration of wasted time spent addressing the wrong needs. A baby’s cries are a powerful form of communication—now made even more powerful because the message can be understood loud and clear.
