Broadening the Scope of Wellbeing Science

Multidisciplinary and Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Human Flourishing and Wellbeing

AvAndrew H. Kemp,Darren J. Edwards

Inbunden, Engelska, 2022

509 kr

Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar

This book brings together leading researchers on wellbeing science to provide a multidisciplinary approach to psychological wellbeing with implications for the interconnected societal challenges we face today, including loneliness, neoliberalism, inequality and anthropogenic climate change. Its authors present new and innovative models for understanding, building and improving our understanding of the complex construct of wellbeing. The capacity for individual positive change is explored, as well as the scope for such change to impact on the communities and environments within which we live. Further, the book places individual wellbeing within a broader context that also addresses societal needs and challenges. In doing so, it provides a novel synthesis of individual, societal and environmental perspectives on wellbeing and human flourishing.In the face of an urgent need to build stronger, sustainable and more resilient communities, this book demonstrates how wellbeing science can link the individual with the community through appropriate health and wellbeing policies and offers a guide to a new way for individuals to connect with the world. It will appeal to researchers and professionals working across the fields of psychology, environmental science, public health and public policy.

Visualization Psychology

This book designates Visualization Psychology as an interdisciplinary subject. The book contains literature reviews and experimental works that exemplify a range of open questions at this critical intersection. It also includes discourses that envision how the subject may be developed in the coming years and decades. The field of visualization is a rich playground for discovering new knowledge in both visualization and psychology. As visualization techniques augment human cognition, these techniques must be developed and improved by building on theoretical, empirical and methodological knowledge from psychology. At the same time, visualization processes surface numerous phenomena about interactions between the human mind and digital entities, such as data, visual imagery, algorithms, and computer-generated predictions and recommendations. Visualization psychology is a new type of science in the making.

Observer-Centric Universe, Quantum Mechanics and the Path to AGI Alignment

AvDarren J. Edwards

Inbunden, Engelska, 2026

Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar

This book explores the profound challenge of artificial general intelligence (AGI) alignment, arguing that an algorithmic approach to creating conscious and empathic AI is fundamentally limited. Building on the author’s N-Frame model, it extends this critique to the P ≠ NP problem, proposing that consciousness reflects a non-computable process beyond formal algorithmic closure. Drawing on philosophy, cognitive science, physics, mathematics, and evolutionary theory, the book introduces a quantum-mechanical AdS/CFT-inspired framework linking thermodynamic models of the observer with functional contextualism and evolution. It argues that solving AGI alignment requires recognising the intrinsic boundary between computation and cognition. The book concludes by exploring how truly conscious AI could promote prosocial behaviour, morality, empathy, and trust, fostering social cohesion and redefining intelligence and consciousness itself.
