All that is needed is to unlearn those habits which interfere with it and then to just let it happen. This process doesn’t have to be learned we already know it. The player of the inner game comes to value the art of relaxed concentration above all other skills he discovers a true basis for self-confidence and he learns that the secret to winning any game lies in not trying too hard. In short, it is played to overcome all habits of mind which inhibit excellence in performance. This is the game that takes place in the mind of the player, and it is played against such obstacles as lapses in concentration, nervousness, self-doubt and self-condemnation. It is the thesis of this book that neither mastery nor satisfaction can be found in the playing of any game without giving some attention to the relatively neglected skills of the inner game. The outer game is played against an external opponent to overcome external obstacles, and to reach an external goal. “It’s not about the win or the loss if we’re here to experience, then we are free.” IntroductionĮvery game is composed of two parts, an outer game and an inner game. “It’s not about the tennis,” he reminds me. They must clear their minds of all confusion and earn the ability to let themselves play freely. What is the real game? It is a game in which the heart is entertained, the game in which you are entertained.

Apparently well renowned scientist Albert Einstein was married and his wife was also a scientist. Mrs R discovered a little slice of unknown history connected to this novel that encouraged her to select this book to read. The Other Einstein is a 2016 historical fiction release, from author Marie Benedict. Today’s Throwback Thursday book review comes from Guest Reviewer, Mrs R. This weekly book review post is a way to share some old favourites, books that were published over a year ago and most importantly those books that have been languishing on the to be read pile for far too long! Welcome to a weekly post, Throwback Thursday. “It was explicitly White supremacist.” Like so many before and after him, Galton’s idea of improving humanity meant removing people who were different from him. “Galton’s racism was deep, consistent and robust, even for his era,” Rutherford writes. It was an intention shared by many, but Galton’s name was formally removed from UCL premises in 2020 because of the role he’d played. He gave a name – from the Greek, roughly meaning “well born” – to a discipline that aimed to improve humanity at the population level. Francis Galton was the father of modern eugenics. He begins with a potentially controversial admission: “All science is political.” His own undergraduate study took place at the Galton Laboratory at University College London, an institution with a unique perspective on how scientific endeavour can be sullied by political ideology. She takes a "Fundamentals of Mediumship" course in England, and heads out with the International Ghost Hunters Society (14,000 members in 78 countries) to tape-record so-called spirit voices in a national forest in California. Mediums who transcribe their conversations with the dead. Researchers who interview children claiming to be reincarnated. The guy who says he's determined the weight of a dog's soul. In "Spook," she sets off on a skeptic's scavenger hunt to find out if there's any scientific way of proving there is life after death, listening to a whole range of people who have doubtless grown used to people's eyes glazing over - or worse.ĭescribing her undertaking as a "giggly, random, utterly earthbound assault on our most ponderous unanswered question," Roach gives all her subjects their due. Roach has endless patience with people whose ideas are most charitably described as unconventional. "Most people don't listen nearly as long as you have," the forlorn professor tells her. But he can't find collaborators - a predicament Roach has trouble believing. He wants to test it by putting a live organism in a box with electromagnetic sensors and watching it die. A PROFESSOR of obstetrics at an esteemed university explains to Mary Roach his quantum-theory equation to measure the energy lost when the soul departs the body. Techniques that are still used by businesses today.” A morally reprehensible–and very profitable business… Rosenthal argues that slaveholders…were using advanced management and accounting techniques long before their northern counterparts. “Slavery in the United States was a business. The result is a groundbreaking investigation of business practices in Southern and West Indian plantations and an essential contribution to our understanding of slavery’s relationship with capitalism. Challenging the traditional depiction of slavery as a barrier to innovation, Accounting for Slavery shows how elite planters turned their power over enslaved people into a productivity advantage. They took meticulous notes, carefully recording daily profits and productivity, and subjected their slaves to experiments and incentive strategies comprised of rewards and brutal punishment. But after scouring through old accounting books, Caitlin Rosenthal discovered that Southern planter-capitalists practiced an early form of scientific management. The story of modern management generally looks to the factories of England and New England for its genesis. “The evolution of modern management is usually associated with good old-fashioned intelligence and ingenuity… But capitalism is not just about the free market it was also built on the backs of slaves.” A Five Books Best Economics Book of the Year 95!"

Of course, there's also the children-eating part. In the Spanish-speaking world, that being is known as "El Cuco." By some descriptions, El Cuco acts as a kind of motherly ally, disciplining kids for misbehavior. In all cultures, the woman suggests, there exists such a punishing being. "When you were a child, who were you told would come for you if you misbehaved, if you didn't go to sleep?" the woman asks. The lullaby's singer is a a Cuban woman who Holly meets while visiting a New York prison. Early rhymes about El Cuco contain a similar line, including a children's bedtime lullaby sung during the episode: The name of the episode, "Que Viene El Coco," or "El Coco comes," is also the title of a 1799 painting by Goya, depicting a hooded figure, El Coco, approaching a woman and two screaming children. In a typically terrifying Stephen King fashion, The Outsider, moving away from scientific explanation, introduced 'El Cuco,' a shape-shifting monster and force of pure, indiscriminate evil that makes the clown from It seem, well, like a clown. Here's what the myth might mean for the series.The myth has Spanish origins-El Cuco is similar to the boogeyman.HBO's The Outsider introduced "El Cuco" (sometimes "El Coco") in episode 4. |
