  Walden by Henry David Thoreau is one of the best-known non-fiction books written by an American. Published in 1854, it details Thoreau’s life for two years, two months, and two days around the shores of Walden Pond.  Walden is neither a novel nor a true autobiography, but a social critique of the Western World, with each chapter heralding some aspect of humanity that needed to be either renounced or praised. Along with his critique of the civilized world, Thoreau examines other issues afflicting man in society, ranging from economy and reading to solitude and higher laws. He also takes time to talk about the experience at Walden Pond itself, commenting on the animals and the way people treated him for living there, using those experiences to bring out his philosophical positions. This extended commentary on nature has often been interpreted as a strong statement to the natural religion that transcendentalists like Thoreau and Emerson were preaching.

  Google's work culture has gained legendary status, earning both admiration and satire. Setting aside the mythology, Schmidt and Rosenberg attribute Google's success to its founders, Larry Page and Sergey Brin, who created an environment attracting top-tier talent. 
  The company employs a rigorous hiring process to select exceptional candidates, seeking brilliance and well-rounded individuals. From executives to entry-level, everyone works in shared office spaces, fostering collaboration across roles and disciplines. Alongside the famed Google perks like pool tables and well-stocked kitchens, these amenities aim to encourage diverse interactions that spark collaboration and creative thinking. 
  Google's management structure is designed to facilitate the free-flowing expansion of ideas, resembling a web more than a pyramid. Emphasizing minimal hierarchy and bureaucratic procedures, employees are encouraged to take action and challenge ideas constructively. Every employee publicly lists personal objectives and key results to clarify goals and priorities.  
  Failure is viewed as a learning opportunity, promoting a proactive approach. 
  This management style leads to spontaneous and successful results.  
  For instance, when irrelevant ads surfaced on a Google search, Page addressed the issue promptly without calling a meeting. This approach allowed a group of engineers to devise a solution over the weekend, demonstrating the company's agility and responsiveness.

  How does the brain generate a conscious thought? And why does so much of our knowledge remain unconscious? Thanks to clever psychological and brain-imaging experiments, scientists are closer to cracking this mystery than ever before.In this lively book, Stanislas Dehaene describes the pioneering work his lab and the labs of other cognitive neuroscientists worldwide have accomplished in defining, testing, and explaining the brain events behind a conscious state. We can now pin down the neurons that fire when a person reports becoming aware of a piece of information and understand the crucial role unconscious computations play in how we make decisions. The emerging theory enables a test of consciousness in animals, babies, and those with severe brain injuries.A joyous exploration of the mind and its thrilling complexities, Consciousness and the Brain will excite anyone who is interested in cutting-edge science and technology and the vast philosophical, personal, and ethical implications of finally quantifying consciousness.
