Desperate for a solution, she asked her mother if there was an instruction manual for humans that she could consult. With no blueprint to life, Pang began to create her own, using the language she understands best: science. That lifelong project eventually resulted in An Outsider's Guide to Humans, an original and incisive exploration of human nature and the strangeness of social norms, written from the outside looking in--which is helpful to even the most neurotypical thinker. Camilla Pang uses a set of scientific principles to examine life's everyday interactions: How machine learning can help us sift through data and make more rational decisions How proteins form strong bonds, and what they teach us about embracing individual differences to form diverse groups Why understanding thermodynamics is the key to seeking balance over seeking perfection How prisms refracting light can keep us from getting overwhelmed by our fears and anxieties, breaking them into manageable and separate "wavelengths" Pang's unique perspective of the world tells us so much about ourselves--who we are and why we do the things we do--and is a fascinating guide to living a happier and more connected life"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Social norms. 650 0 $a Human behavior. 650 0 $a Manners and customs. 655 7 $a Essays. $2 lcgft 941 $a 9 952 $l GOPG641 $d 20240710052820.0 952 $l SMPE094 $d 20240104020327.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20210723014102.0 952 $l SCPC074 $d 20210422013841.0 952 $l CIPB482 $d 20210303010435.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20210202014651.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20210202010711.0 952 $l XXPH787 $d 20210106010620.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20201201011010.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=EC1D08F833A211EB9CAA7B8922ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
