The Art of Physics: How ideas from science can transform your life

Descriere

'A book that will transform how you understand human behaviour.' - Thomas EriksonWhat if physics could help you make better decisions, navigate uncertainty, build resilience, and thrive in complexity?In The Art of Physics, Zahaan Bharmal explores how the hidden rules of the universe shape the way we think, lead, and solve problems.Far from being abstract, he argues, physics can help us answer very human questions, questions like: Why are some relationships unstable, while others last a lifetime? Why does inequality persist? And why do we all make so many irrational decisions?Drawing on quantum mechanics, thermodynamics, chaos and complexity theory, materials science and more, The Art of Physics reveals the hidden, surprising, and sometimes beautiful ways in which physics can help us to make sense of an unpredictable world. Ultimately, it shows how by embracing the paradoxes and uncertainty at the core of physics, we can unlock a deeper understanding of ourselves and our universe.A deeply personal and thoroughly entertaining tour of life, the universe, and everything.
