'Joins the dots in a neglected narrative of female scientists, visionaries and code-breakers' Observer How is artificial intelligence changing the way we live and love? Now with a new chapter, this is the eye-opening new book from Sunday Times bestselling author Jeanette Winterson. Drawing on her years of thinking and reading about AI, Jeanette Winterson looks to history, religion, myth, literature, politics and, of course, computer science to help us understand the radical changes to the way we live and love that are happening now. With wit, compassion and curiosity, Winterson tackles AI's most interesting talking points - from the weirdness of backing up your brain and the connections between humans and non-human helpers to whether it's time to leave planet Earth.

Sunday Timesi ja New York Timesi parim bestseller kategoorias „meie aja mõjukaim intellektuaal“. Reeglid? Rohkem reegleid? Tõsiselt? Kas elu ei ole juba piisavalt piiranguid täis? Ja miks üldse eeldada, et mingitest reeglitest võiks abi olla? Jordan B. Peterson väidab, et meil on reeglite suhtes vastakad tunded isegi kui teame, et need toovad meile kasu. Söakad, iseloomuga hinged tunnetavad end reeglitest veel eriti ahistatuna. Peterson väidab aga, et ilma reegliteta muutub inimene kiiresti oma ihade orjaks ning selles pole midagi vabastavat. Latid langevad ja väärtused ähmastuvad piirini, mis ei ole enam meie väärilised. Ta leiab, et parimad reeglid aitavad meil jõuda eesmärkideni ning täisväärtuslikuma, vabama eluni. Puistades tabavaid näiteid nii oma enda elust kui ka kliinilisest tööst, samuti filosoofiast, psühholoogiast ning inimkonna vanimatest müütidest, pakub ta ümbritsevale kaosele võimast vastumürki. Ta toob välja kaksteist sügavmõttelist, samas ootamatult praktilist printsiipi, kuidas elada mõtestatud elu. Ta demonstreerib ilmekalt, et eesmärk saada õnnelikuks on üsna mõttetu ning väidab, et selle asemel tuleks keskenduda hoopis elu mõtte leidmisele. Sest just see pakub kaitset kannatuste eest, millega elu meid paratamatult kostitab. Kuna inimkonnal pole veel tänapäevasel teadusel põhinevat eetikat, ei üritagi Peterson oma reeglitega lauda tühjaks lüüa ning heita tühipalja ebausuna kõrvale aastatuhandete tarkust ja meie suurimaid moraalseid saavutusi. Ta teeb seda, mida mõistlikud teejuhid on alati teinud – ta ei väida, et inimlik tarkus algab temast, vaid pöördub oma teejuhtide poole. Ja kuigi raamatu teemad on tõsised, käsitleb ta neid sageli kergel toonil ning siira mõnuga. Tunnustatud kliiniline psühholoog professor Jordan B. Peterson on tuntavalt mõjutanud tänapäevast arusaama isiksusest. Temast on saanud meie aja üks populaarsemaid mõtlejaid, kelle loengud romantilistest suhetest, Piiblist, mütoloogiast ning teistest teemadest on paelunud kümnete miljonite kuulajate tähelepanu. Ajal, mil meid on tabanud ennenägematu muutuste voog ning poliitiline polariseerumine, on tema selge ning otsekohene sõnum vastutusest ja iidsete tarkuste väärtustest leidnud kõlapinda terves maailmas. <br><br> Autorid: Jordan B. Peterson, Ave Põlenik-Schweiger, Janek Saareoja <br>

Whether it's called 'dry drunk' or 'white knuckle sobriety,' it's that stage in recovery when we realize that 'putting the plug in the jug' isn't enough. The next step is taking responsibility for the emotional immaturity that fuels our addictive personality, and which has a tremendous impact on ourselves and others.In 12 Smart Things to Do When the Booze and Drugs Are Gone, Allen Berger, Ph.D., draws on the teachings of Bill W. and psychotherapy pioneers to offer twelve hallmarks of emotional sobriety that, when practiced, give people the confidence to be accountable for their behavior, ask for what they want and need, and grow and develop a deeper trust in the process of life. These 'smart things' include:Understanding who you are and what's important to you.Learning not to take others' reactions personally.Trusting your own inner compass.Taking responsibility for your reactions to problematic situations.It is in these practices that we find release from what Bill W. described as an 'absolute dependency' on people or circumstances, and develop the tools to find prestige, security, and belonging within. <br><br> Autorid: Allen Berger <br>
