Have you ever wondered about the true meaning of life? What are the values you will leave behind you? Are you searching religion for the answers but puzzled by its messages? Are science and religion truly incompatible? Do you also searching answers from wisdom in other cultures? What are the common grounds of different cultures and religions? If you are interested in these questions, then look no further than Michael Yang's fascinating journey into the heart of humanity, Spectrum of Mind. With surprising clarity and honesty, Yang tackles some of life's biggest questions as he moves seamlessly through the kinds of topics that have given philosophers pause for centuries. It requires every bit of our intelligence and intuition to answer these questions, but where is the starting point? Yang demonstrates his originality by taking a rigorous research approach. Part I of the book builds a deep and systematic foundation through examining the origin and limitation of knowledge, researching the methodologies from modern science and psychology, and developing a theory of human mind development process. With the foundation, in Part II, Yang provides a striking analysis on the origin of religion, its true messages, its justifications, and the limitations. With the same foundation, Yang also offers objective insights into the fundamental differences that exist among different cultures. Moving beyond the more obvious and superficial points upon which many like to dwell, Yang uses the principles of the mind to decipher the differences that exist within humanity. Through it all, an undercurrent flows through Spectrum of Mind-one that leads back to the biggest question of all: what is the meaning of life?

A “rock star” (New York Times) of the computing world provides a radical new work on the meaning of human consciousness. The holy grail of psychologists and scientists for nearly a century has been to understand and replicate both human thought and the human mind. In fact, it's what attracted the now-legendary computer scientist and AI authority David Gelernter to the discipline in the first place. As a student and young researcher in the 1980s, Gelernter hoped to build a program with a dial marked "focus." At maximum "focus," the program would "think" rationally, formally, reasonably. As the dial was turned down and "focus" diminished, its "mind" would start to wander, and as you dialed even lower, this artificial mind would start to free-associate, eventually ignoring the user completely as it cruised off into the mental adventures we know as sleep. While the program was a only a partial success, it laid the foundation for The Tides of Mind, a groundbreaking new exploration of the human psyche that shows us how the very purpose of the mind changes throughout the day. Indeed, as Gelernter explains, when we are at our most alert, when reasoning and creating new memories is our main mental business, the mind is a computer-like machine that keeps emotion on a short leash and attention on our surroundings. As we gradually tire, however, and descend the "mental spectrum," reasoning comes unglued. Memory ranges more freely, the mind wanders, and daydreams grow more insistent. Self-awareness fades, reflection blinks out, and at last we are completely immersed in our own minds. With far-reaching implications, Gelernter’s landmark "Spectrum of Consciousness" finally helps decode some of the most mysterious wonders of the human mind, such as the numinous light of early childhood, why dreams are so often predictive, and why sadism and masochism underpin some of our greatest artistic achievements. It’s a theory that also challenges the very notion of the mind as a machine—and not through empirical studies or "hard science" but by listening to our great poets and novelists, who have proven themselves as humanity's most trusted guides to the subjective mind and inner self. In the great introspective tradition of Wilhelm Wundt and René Descartes, David Gelernter promises to not only revolutionize our understanding of what it means to be human but also to help answer many of our most fundamental questions about the origins of creativity, thought, and consciousness.

The universe is a mind-boggling place, full of things seemingly too big and too small to understand. How can we visualise the minuscule world of the atom and the vastness of our galaxy? How can we grasp a billionth of a second and a billion years? Or the freezing point of Helium and the heat generated by the blast of an atomic bomb?David Blatner's solution is to put these and many other 'inconceivable' items on six spectrums - numbers, size, light, sound, heat and time - that put them into a human perspective. Full of facts, illustrations and anecdotes, Spectrums proves that we really can make sense of our extraordinary universe.Visit spectrums.com for amazing interactive charts, videos and more

Theory of Mind is a label given to the understanding within a human being that other human beings have minds. Most humans come to this apprehension around four years of age. Characterizing the spectrum of mind, most definitively, concerns the issue of intersubjectivity. Intersubjectivity lessens as we move to the Asperger's/autism side of the spectrum and increases where there is more empathy, one human to another. Theory of Mind constitutes a breakthrough in understanding the mental health spectrum. Just as autism, bi-polarity, depression, ADHD and PTSD possess a categorical spectrum, so too is each individual on a spectrum. The awareness, often ignored, that Simon Baron-Cohen links to autism, and Eric Kendal (The Age of Insight) brings to empathy and creativity reveals the human spectrum where we all are located. The position in the spectrum where Donald Trump operates is defined by a lack of empathy and emotional maturity. The Buddha illustrates how the mind can be an enemy to self-fulfillment and self-realisation. This becomes a major force behind the current levels of anxiety because people with empathy can't understand why people like Trump don't get it. It reveals how habitual and ensconced a lifetime of firing and wiring the same old stuff becomes. People are so embedded and so ignorant of others they will fight to the death to remain insensitive to the changing conditions in which we live. Theory of Mind is revelatory in this most pivotal of issues. It shows that any position on the spectrum can evolve to a more insightful position if the person is open to change. The book, written in 2016, predicted accurately what would happen in a Trump administration. White supremacists and many fundamentalists, religious zealots, share common ground in their fear of education.

A Japanese researcher in psychology sets out to measure loneliness while drawing on her own experience of autism. A quirky boy growing up in 1950s Ottawa sows the seeds of his future Hollywood stardom. In the US, a non-verbal man explores body language, gesture by eloquent gesture, in his mother's yoga classes. Nine Minds delves into the extraordinary lives of nine neurodivergent men and women from around the globe. From a Fields Medal-winning mathematician to a murder detective, a pioneering surgeon to a bestselling novelist, each is remarkable in their field, and each is changing how the world sees those on the spectrum. Exploding the tired stereotypes of autism, Daniel Tammet - acclaimed author and an autistic savant himself - reaches across the divides of age, gender, sexuality and nationality to draw out the inner worlds of his subjects. Telling stories as richly diverse as the spectrum itself, this illuminating, life-affirming work of narrative nonfiction celebrates the power and beauty of the neurodivergent mind, and the daring freedom with which these individuals have built their lives.
