O que é a mente? E por que essa pergunta importa? Basicamente todas as atividades humanas envolvem e estão relacionadas a processos mentais: comportamento, consumo, criatividade, inovações, arte, cultura e além. Também estão relacionadas à mente outras questões relacionadas à nossa experiência no mundo: sensações, percepções, intenções, desejos, até mesmo o que entendemos sobre o que é ser alguém, nossas particularidades, ou mesmo o que pensamos sobre a própria vida (e o que há além dela).

Meanwhile, small businesses are crushed not by competition but by invisibility, and trust between people erodes as every word begins to feel like a sales pitch.

How do we spark new scientific discoveries? How can we accelerate new breakthroughs in science? These are some of the biggest unsolved questions in science. Many believe that discoveries arise by chance or serendipity. The Engine of Scientific Discovery illustrates, for the first time, how we...

This may be the first true AI-era self-help book —not because we need help using technology, but because we need help using it well. It's about building the knowledge —and the confidence —to question, to evaluate, to choose. Because understanding how algorithms work is the first step in making sure they work for us. Human Agency in a Digital World is a book about reclaiming our role —not as passengers, but as pilots —in the fast-moving journey of technological change.
