One of the largest leaps in scientific understanding in the last 200 years began as a thought experiment - when Einstein imagined the implications of riding a beam of light. Since that time, thought experiments have continuously been used to explore theories, explain concepts, and to engage imaginations. Thought Experiments cater to the curious. Within a science lab, you're limited by things like physical space, money, and ethics. In your mind, you are not limited at all. Thought Experiments keep you mentally sharp by giving your mind a workout and challenging you to constantly think. They provide a manner to make complicated concepts more approachable, and help you to examine the consequence of ideas from various perspectives, Perhaps best of all, when done right, the best Thought Experiments will blow your mind. MIND GAMES is a collection of 25 ORIGINAL thought experiments spanning a host of topics - including science, mathematics, morality, social and personal concepts, and many other intriguing ideas. Aimed at anyone with an interest in taking ideas and expanding them in fascinating and often mind blowing ways, MIND GAMES will stretch your imagination and fill it with intrigue.

A Publishers Weekly Best Book of the Year From an obesity and neuroscience researcher with a knack for engaging, humorous storytelling, The Hungry Brain uses cutting-edge science to answer the questions: why do we overeat, and what can we do about it? No one wants to overeat. And certainly no one wants to overeat for years, become overweight, and end up with a high risk of diabetes or heart disease--yet two thirds of Americans do precisely that. Even though we know better, we often eat too much. Why does our behavior betray our own intentions to be lean and healthy? The problem, argues obesity and neuroscience researcher Stephan J. Guyenet, is not necessarily a lack of willpower or an incorrect understanding of what to eat. Rather, our appetites and food choices are led astray by ancient, instinctive brain circuits that play by the rules of a survival game that no longer exists. And these circuits don’t care about how you look in a bathing suit next summer. To make the case, The Hungry Brain takes readers on an eye-opening journey through cutting-edge neuroscience that has never before been available to a general audience. The Hungry Brain delivers profound insights into why the brain undermines our weight goals and transforms these insights into practical guidelines for eating well and staying slim. Along the way, it explores how the human brain works, revealing how this mysterious organ makes us who we are.
