Tot voor kort had de wetenschap daar geen antwoord op, maar de laatste twintig jaar heeft een explosie aan nieuw onderzoek veel kunnen verhelderen omtrent een van onze meest fundamentele levensbehoeften. In Slaap legt hersenwetenschapper en slaapexpert Matthew Walker uit waarom slapen en dromen van levensbelang zijn.

Hoe kan het dat hoogsensitieve personen informatie zo anders opmerken, verwerken en intenser reageren? Waarom ervaren ze vaak stress en sociale afwijzing? Sinds de Amerikaanse psychologe Elaine Aron eind jaren negentig de naam 'hoogsensitiviteit' introduceerde, zijn er evenveel zinnige als onzinnige uitspraken gedaan over deze eigenschap. In dit boek presenteert Esther Bergsma de laatste wetenschappelijk inzichten over de werking van het 'hoogsensitieve brein', dat op veel vlakken aantoonbaar ve...

Opmerkingen

1. Literatuurstudie en slordige uitgever - Het boek is een verzameling literatuurstudies en eerder een collegedictaat. Daarmee is het niet minder interessant, maar een boeiend boek voor de leek dus om blz geboeid te lezen is wat anders. Ronduit storend vind ik de slechte plaatjes. In een digitaal boek verwacht ik messcherpe plaatjes als je gaat inzoomen op de kleine plaatjes. In dit boek worden alleen de pixels groter. Het stoort me vreselijk omdat tekeningen in dit boek cruciaal zijn. Kom ik trouwens bij meer boeken tegen en is een grote omissie van de uitgever. Dat moet bij een update met zeer weinig moeite véél beter!

Hoe kan een groep verstandige mensen een organisatie naar de rand van de afgrond leiden? Het ingenieuze en efficiënte menselijk denkvermogen heeft een keerzijde. Dezelfde mechanis...
