New Releases by Daniel Gilbert

Facebook''s EMEA Client Council is made up of leaders from some of the most influential brands and agencies across Europe, the Middle East and Africa. The goal of the council has been to create a forum where the best minds in business can come together to share ideas and develop best practices. Build Brilliant Brands is the first attempt to capture their ideas, insights and opinions. It features 22 essays — 18 penned by council members, four by guest contributors — split across three distinct chapters: what hasn''t changed in marketing, what''s changing, and what needs to change. And though the essays cover a wide range of topics, each is designed to inspire and inform those who are in the business of building brilliant brands.

Miért bocsátjuk meg hamarabb társunknak a hűtlenséget, mint azt, hogy megint nem mosogatott el? Miért rendelünk mást az étteremben, mint vacsorapartnerünk, még akkor is, ha valójában ugyanazt szeretnénk enni? Miért érezzük úgy, hogy az a sor, amelyikbe épp beálltunk, azonnal lelassul? Mindenki a boldogságot keresi, de – tudományos szempontból legalábbis – rossz módszert választunk: megpróbáljuk megbecsülni, jövőbeli önmagunkat vajon mi teszi majd boldoggá, és afelé igyekszünk haladni. Ezt a becslést azonban rengeteg rejtett gondolkodási illúzió torzítja, ezért így nagyjából ugyanannyi esélyünk van megtalálni a boldogságot, mint ha csak úgy véletlenül rábukkannánk. Daniel Gilbert, a Harvard pszichológiaprofesszorának fantasztikus humorral és könnyedséggel megírt könyvéből megtudhatjuk, hogyan működik az emberi agy, a képzelet és az emlékezet, és hogy miért nem tudjuk úgy elképzelni a jövőt, s így a boldogságunkat, amilyen az valóban lesz vagy lehetne. Választ kapunk arra is, kiküszöbölhetjük-e ezeket a torzításokat, hogy jövőbeli önmagunk elégedettebb lehessen.

An compilation of three books of poetry based of poetic books of the bible-Song of Songs is perhaps one of the most unique books in the bible but is often misunderstood and misplaced by the modern reader. This interpretation is an attempt at re-framing the song in it''s context as one the greatest love poems in history, translated as a poem rather than scripture and with the historical context in mind.Song of Songs is perhaps one of the most unique books in the bible but is often misunderstood and misplaced by the modern reader. This interpretation is an attempt at re-framing the song in it''s context as one the greatest love poems in history, translated as a poem rather than scripture and with the historical context in mind.Ecclesiastes resonates with the world we live in today and asks many of the same questions we ask when we look at the world in its messiness and confusion. In many ways the writer, Koheleth, is just like us, wrestling with life and striving to find the meaning in it. For this reason Ecclesiastes has always been one of my favourite books of the bible and I know that others feel the same. Over the years I have returned to it again and again and constantly found it comforting, reassuring, challenging and relevant.These poetic interpretations of Ecclesiastes are my way of engaging with the text, that I might know more of God and of the world God created.

Imagine being part of a wholly transformed body of Christ that truly reflects the character of God to the world! What if God''s people weren''t tossed to and fro with every wind of the devil''s deceit and every wave of secular culture, but instead stood firm on the foundation of sound, biblical doctrine? This can only happen if Christians understand and construct their spiritual lives on The Big 5 foundational doctrines of the faith. Dr. Daniel Gilbert is an international speaker, theologian, ministry consultant, and writer. Passionate about the transforming power of God to help people enter into a deeper relationship with their Creator, Dr. Gilbert wrote The Big 5 so that every Christian can discover-or re-discover-the enduring biblical doctrines and foundational principles on which believers of all backgrounds can base their lives. In this book, you''ll learn about five core beliefs: -Sola scriptura: how Scripture is the entirely trustworthy Word of God, which provides us with essential knowledge of God''s character and how He designed us to live -Solus Christus: how Jesus Christ is our Lord, not a liar or a lunatic, and the only real path to life -Sola gratia: how grace, the single escape route from spiritual death, is God''s gift to all -Sola fide: how committing our lives to Christ through faith leads us to do good works, but it''s faith not works that leads to salvation -Soli deo gloria: how bringing glory to God in all things is our ultimate purpose and gives meaning to our daily lives -PLUS bonus workbook sections are included to help you reflect on each of these Big 5 of our faith! Free yourself from human-inspired ideas and habits that sound or feel good, and instead let the foundational truths of Christ''s teaching transform you. Pick up your copy of The Big 5 today and become part of the new reformation the church needs now more than ever!

A smart and funny book by a prominent Harvard psychologist, which uses groundbreaking research and (often hilarious) anecdotes to show us why we’re so lousy at predicting what will make us happy – and what we can do about it. Most of us spend our lives steering ourselves toward the best of all possible futures, only to find that tomorrow rarely turns out as we had expected. Why? As Harvard psychologist Daniel Gilbert explains, when people try to imagine what the future will hold, they make some basic and consistent mistakes. Just as memory plays tricks on us when we try to look backward in time, so does imagination play tricks when we try to look forward. Using cutting-edge research, much of it original, Gilbert shakes, cajoles, persuades, tricks and jokes us into accepting the fact that happiness is not really what or where we thought it was. Among the unexpected questions he poses: Why are conjoined twins no less happy than the general population? When you go out to eat, is it better to order your favourite dish every time, or to try something new? If Ingrid Bergman hadn’t gotten on the plane at the end of Casablanca, would she and Bogey have been better off? Smart, witty, accessible and laugh-out-loud funny, Stumbling on Happiness brilliantly describes all that science has to tell us about the uniquely human ability to envision the future, and how likely we are to enjoy it when we get there.

"A computer software package (AIRPROPS Version 5.0) for calculating the thermophysical properties of air is presented. Computer programs in this package are given in standard FORTRAN 77. The programs given here supersede all previous versions of AIRPROPS and provide for calculation of both equilibrium and transport properties of air for system design and analysis. Properties of mixtures of nitrogen, argon and oxygen for various compositions are also provided by programs included in this package. This report documents Version 5.0 of the software package. It provides information necessary to incorporate individual subprograms from the package into application programs. although the software package was originally developed on DOS-based microcomputers and the interactive utility program AIRPROPS is tailored to such an environment, the property calculation subprograms are written to facilitate portability between microcomputers and mainframes."--Page ii.
