Der englische Philosoph Robert Twigger erläutert in diesem populär-wissenschaftlichen Sachbuch, wie wir unser Gehirn ganz einfach auf Lernen programmieren können. Erfolgreich, vielseitig, selbstoptimiert – wer möchte das nicht sein? Doch der Weg dahin scheint vielen lang und steinig zu sein. Der englische Philosoph Robert Twigger räumt auf mit der gängigen Annahme, dass es Tausende Stunden der Übung braucht, um seine Fähigkeiten zu verbessern. Stattdessen stellt er in diesem Buch ein völlig neues Konzept vor: Indem es uns gelingt, in überschaubaren kleinen Bereichen – sei es beim Zeichnen, beim Kochen oder beim Sport – gute Fortschritte zu machen, motivieren wir uns selbst, grundsätzlich Neues zu lernen und in jeder Hinsicht besser zu werden. Anhand zahlreicher Beispiele und Tipps erläutert Twigger seine verblüffende These und zeigt, wie jeder von uns, mit Freude und Leichtigkeit sein Gehirn auf Lernen programmieren kann.

Stories of the thrills and hardships faced by modern expeditions that continue to enhance our understanding of the world around us This book profiles thirty-nine modern explorers who have disproved the idea that there is nowhere left to discover and explore. Some are greatly experienced and are celebrated worldwide, while others are young or less well known and just starting to make their mark. Here are challenging and extraordinary expeditions to the remotest parts of the world by explorers from the United States, Australia, China, France, and beyond. Eight thematic sections cover all terrains: Polar, Desert, Rainforest, Mountain, Ocean, River, Under Sea, Under Land, and Lost Worlds. Written mainly by the explorers themselves, the accounts provide a unique insight into what it is actually like to join an expedition, from being dragged through the top of the rainforest canopy in an inflatable raft suspended from a balloon to pedaling a boat across the Pacific to standing on the edge of an erupting volcano. Their stories are supplemented with dramatic expedition photographs, many capturing the moment of discovery or danger.
