Jack Nicholson and Rob Murray have been developing the Human Operating System over many years of work with executive leaders, teams, and ...

Rather than prescribing habits or offering motivational routines, the book explains how decision, impulse, error, stress, and adaptation emerge from the same underlying system. Human action is shown not as a matter of discipline or virtue, but as the output of prediction ...

Each initially spent nine months in a mattress-sized cell where the lights burned twenty-four hours a day. They were clothed only in boxer shorts, completely sealed off from the outside world with only their minds to occupy their time.
