 Sia Mohajer, "The Little Book of Stupidity: How We Lie to Ourselves and Don't Believe Others" English | ISBN: 1519282796 | 2015 | 98 pages | EPUB | 1125 KB As Human Beings we are great story tellers. We tell stories about who we are, what we're doing and why we are doing it. The problem is sometimes those stories are fictions; created by our own blindness to reality. We are such good story tellers that we often don't know we are deceiving ourselves. The brain has evolved to make information processing simplified and with this has created a need to simplify the world. The problem is sometimes rational thinking becomes sacrificed for this simplicity In The Little Book of Stupidity, Sia Mohajer draws on extensive research and makes surprising connections among ten of life's most pervasive cognitive biases. It is a story about how stupid we can all be and also how we can become more compassionate as a result.

The Invention of Jewish Theocracy: The Struggle for Legal Authority in Modern Israel by Alexander Kaye English | February 19, 2020 | ISBN: 0190922745 | True EPUB | 276 pages | 1 MB The tension between secular politics and religious fundamentalism is a problem shared by many modern states. This is certainly true of the State of Israel, where the religious-secular schism provokes conflict at every level of politics and society. Driving this schism is the idea of the halakhic state, the demand by many religious Jews that Israel should be governed by the law of the Torah as interpreted by Orthodox rabbis. Understanding this idea is a priority for scholars of Israel and for anyone with an interest in its future. The Invention of Jewish Theocracy is the first book in any language to trace the origins of the idea, to track its development, and to explain its crucial importance in Israel's past and present. The book also shows how the history of this idea engages with burning contemporary debates on questions of global human rights, the role of religion in Middle East conflict, and the long-term consequences of European imperialism.
