Paperback. We have built a civilisation on the assumption that if something can be measured, modelled, and explained, we understand it. Everything else is secondary. Optional. A bit suspect.But what if we've made a catastrophic error?Soul and Method examines the split that defines modern life: between scientific thinking and philosophical wisdom. Between explanation and meaning. Between optimising our lives and actually living them.For four hundred years, we've allowed science to become not just a way of knowing, but the way of knowing. We've assumed that what can't be measured doesn't matter. That expertise replaces wisdom. That if we can explain how something works, we understand what it means.The result? Schools that test everything but teach nothing that matters. Medicine that treats diseases but forgets patients are people. Politics that manages citizens as problems to be optimised. Technology that tracks every moment but leaves us more anxious than ever. A culture that has confused explanation with understanding, and lost the capacity to think about what actually matters.This isn't a book against science. Science is one of humanity's greatest achievements. But it was never meant to answer every question. It can't tell you what's good. It can't tell you what matters. It can't tell you how to live.Drawing on Aristotle's paradox of time, forty years of working in extreme environments where technical knowledge was necessary but never sufficient, and a lifetime of watching systems optimised for efficiency forget they're dealing with humans, Sam Dalton traces how we arrived at this moment and what we might recover if we dared to think differently.Soul and Method is for anyone who has felt their life reduced to metrics they never agreed to. For anyone who suspects we've mistaken the map for the territory. For anyone tired of optimization and hungry for wisdom.It's a call to recover the other half of your mind. The half that asks not just how, but why. The half that sits with questions instead of rushing to solutions. The half that treats your life as something to be lived, not managed.Stop optimising. Start thinking. Recover what we've lost. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…

But what if we've made a catastrophic error?
Soul and Method examines the split that defines modern life: between scientific thinking and philosophical wisdom. Between explanation and meaning. Between optimising our lives and actually living them.
For four hundred years, we've allowed science to become not just a way of knowing, but the way of knowing. We've assumed that what can't be measured doesn't matter. That expertise replaces wisdom. That if we can explain how something works, we understand what it means.
The result? Schools that test everything but teach nothing that matters. Medicine that treats diseases but forgets patients are people. Politics that manages citizens as problems to be optimised. Technology that tracks every moment but leaves us more anxious than ever. A culture that has confused explanation with understanding, and lost the capacity to think about what actually matters.
This isn't a book against science. Science is one of humanity's greatest achievements. But it was never meant to answer every question. It can't tell you what's good. It can't tell you what matters. It can't tell you how to live.
Drawing on Aristotle's paradox of time, forty years of working in extreme environments where technical knowledge was necessary but never sufficient, and a lifetime of watching systems optimised for efficiency forget they're dealing with humans, Sam Dalton traces how we arrived at this moment and what we might recover if we dared to think differently.
Soul and Method is for anyone who has felt their life reduced to metrics they never agreed to. For anyone who suspects we've mistaken the map for the territory. For anyone tired of optimization and hungry for wisdom.
It's a call to recover the other half of your mind. The half that asks not just how, but why. The half that sits with questions instead of rushing to solutions. The half that treats your life as something to be lived, not managed.
Stop optimising. Start thinking. Recover what we've lost.

Derecho al desistimiento
Si es un consumidor, puede rescindir el contrato de acuerdo con lo siguiente. Por consumidor se entiende cualquier persona física que actúe con fines ajenos a su actividad comercial, empresarial, oficio o profesión.
Información sobre el derecho de desistimiento
Derecho legal de desistimiento
Tiene derecho a rescindir este contrato en un plazo de 14 días sin dar ningún motivo.
El periodo de desistimiento vencerá a los 14 días desde que usted, o un tercero que no sea el transportista e indicado por usted, adquiera la posesión física del último bien o del último lote o pieza.
Para ejercer el derecho de desistimiento, complete de forma electrónica y envíe una declaración clara en nuestro sitio web, desde "Mis compras" en "Mi cuenta". Le enviaremos sin demora un acuse de recibo de dicho desistimiento a través de un soporte duradero (por ejemplo, por correo electrónico).
Para cumplir con el plazo de desistimiento, basta con que envíe su comunicación relativa al ejercicio del derecho de desistimiento antes de que venza el periodo de desistimiento.
Efectos del desistimiento
Si rescinde este contrato, le reembolsaremos todos los pagos que hayamos recibido de usted, incluidos los gastos de envío (excepto los gastos adicionales que surjan si elige un tipo de envío que no sea el tipo de envío estándar más económico que ofrecemos).
Podemos hacer una deducción del reembolso por la pérdida de valor de cualquier bien suministrado, si la pérdida es el resultado de una manipulación innecesaria por su parte.
Efectuaremos el reembolso sin demoras indebidas y, a más tardar, 14 días después de que se nos informe de su decisión de rescindir este contrato.
Efectuaremos el reembolso utilizando el mismo medio de pago que utilizó para la transacción inicial, a menos que haya acordado expresamente lo contrario; en cualquier caso, no incurrirá en ningún cargo como resultado de dicho reembolso.
Podremos retener el reembolso hasta que hayamos recibido los bienes o hasta que nos haya presentado una prueba de que los ha devuelto, lo que ocurra primero.
Deberá devolver los bienes o entregarlos a Grand Eagle Retail, Bensenville, Illinois, U.S.A., sin demoras indebidas y, en cualquier caso, en un plazo máximo de 14 días a partir del día en que nos comunique su desistimiento del presente contrato. El plazo se cumple si devuelve la mercancía antes de que venza el periodo de 14 días. Tendrá que asumir los gastos directos de devolución de los bienes. Usted solo es responsable de la disminución del valor de los bienes como resultado de una manipulación distinta a la necesaria para establecer la naturaleza, las características y el funcionamiento de los bienes.
