What Do You Think You Are?: The Science of What Makes You You
Rs. 2,490.00

Brian Clegg
‘Gets right to the heart of what makes us what we are. Read it!’ Angela Saini, author of Inferior and Superior: The Return of Race Science
The popular science equivalent of Who Do You Think You Are?
Popular science master Brian Clegg’s new book is an entertaining tour through the science of what makes you you.
What’s great about the book overall is both Clegg’s gift as a storyteller – it’s just an excellent, pageturning read – and the way he threads together so many revelations about us as humans, the sort of thing that you want to share with someone else. ― popularscience.co.uk
The most interesting part is when the book explores what consciousness is (or, rather, highlights how little we know about it but still shows how much more there is to “us” than the conscious part) and pulls apart the old nature versus nurture debate with some remarkable material on genetics and how the influence of our environment is mathematically chaotic. ― Peet Morris, Times Higher Education

The Talent Code: Greatness isn’t Born. It’s Grown
Rs. 2,290.00or 3 X Rs.763.33 withAdd to cartDaniel Coyle
“I only wish I’d never before used the words ‘breakthrough’ or ‘breathtaking’ or ‘magisterial’ or ‘stunning achievement’ or ‘your world will never be the same after you read this book.’ Then I could be using them for the first and only time as I describe my reaction to Daniel Coyle’s The Talent Code. I am even willing to ‘guarantee’ that you will not read a more important and useful book in 2009, or pretty much any other year. And if all that’s not enough, it’s also ‘a helluva good read.'”—Tom Peters, author of In Search of Excellence
“This is a remarkable—even inspiring—book. Daniel Coyle has woven observations from brain research, behavioral research, and real-world training into a conceptual tapestry of genuine importance. What emerges is both a testament to the remarkable potential we all have to learn and perform and an indictment of any idea that our individual capacities and limitations are fixed at birth.”—Dr. Robert Bjork, Distinguished Professor and Chair of Psychology, UCLA
‘Talent. You’ve either got it or you haven’t.’ Not true, actually.
In The Talent Code, award-winning journalist Daniel Coyle draws on cutting-edge research to reveal that, far from being some abstract mystical power fixed at birth, ability really can be created and nurtured.
In the process, he considers talent at work in venues as diverse as a music school in Dallas and a tennis academy near Moscow to demonstrate how the wiring of our brains can be transformed by the way we approach particular tasks. He explains what is really going on when apparently unremarkable people suddenly make a major leap forward. He reveals why some teaching methods are so much more effective than others. Above all, he shows how all of us can achieve our full potential if we set about training our brains in the right way.
