Characterized by petty rivalries, self-indulgence and lack of responsibility, our actions fail to fulfill what Robert Bly describes as our true soul longing. With characteristic irreverence and storytelling from various cultures, Bly tells us what we should be doing about green-haired adolescents and idle elders, not to mention televisions and computers. His insightful focus illuminates the truths and possibilities of a culture caught in an adolescent phase of development.

Pop quiz: Do you prefer when things go according to plan or when the unexpected happens? Most of us pick control and predictability. Yet research reveals a counterintuitive truth: our best memories are the surprising ones. We feel most comfortable when things are certain, but we feel most alive when they're not.

Totalitarianism is not a coincidence and does not form in a vacuum. It arises from a collective psychosis that has followed a predictable script throughout history. In The Psychology of Totalitarianism, world-renowned Professor of Clinical Psychology Mattias Desmet deconstructs the societal conditions that allow this collective psychosis to take hold. By looking at our current situation and identifying the phenomenon of “mass formation”—a type of collective hypnosis—he clearly illustrates how close we are to surrendering to totalitarian regimes.

Ignorance, whether passive or active, conscious or unconscious, has always been a part of the human condition, Renata Salecl argues. What has changed in our post-truth, postindustrial world is that we often feel overwhelmed by the constant flood of information and misinformation. It sometimes seems impossible to differentiate between truth and falsehood and, as a result, there has been a backlash against the idea of expertise, and a rise in the number of people actively choosing not to know.

We are stuck in 'Infinite Browsing Mode' - swiping through endless dating profiles without committing to a single partner, jumping from place to place searching for the next big thing, refusing to make any decision that might close us off from an even better choice we imagine is around the corner. This culture of restlessness and indecision, Davis argues, is causing tension in the lives of young people today. In Dedicated, Davis examines this quagmire, as well as the counterculture of committers who have made it to the other side.

Random House presents the audiobook edition of Truth by Hector Macdonald, read by Simon Ludders. For fans of Nudge, Black Box Thinking and The Art of Thinking Clearly, a fascinating dive into the many ways in which ‘competing truths’ shape our opinions, behaviours and beliefs. True or false? It’s rarely that simple. There is more than one truth about most things. Eating meat is nutritious, but it’s also damaging to the environment. The Internet disseminates knowledge, but it also spreads hatred. As communicators, we select the truths that are most useful to our agenda.

How would you like to experience your life? It's an intriguing question, and yet we've been conditioned to believe our life visions and goals are often unattainable - until now. With The Possibility Principle, psychotherapist Mel Schwartz offers a revolutionary approach to living the life we choose. Though science has vastly expanded our knowledge, it has also led us to adopt a worldview where we see ourselves as insignificant specks living in a mechanical universe.

Libérate de los pensamientos que te atan al pasado y recupera la paz de vivir en el presente. Muchas personas viven atrapadas en recuerdos, decisiones no resueltas, culpas antiguas o nostalgias que condicionan su manera de pensar, sentir y actuar. Creen haber dejado atrás lo vivido, pero siguen reaccionando desde ahí. En El reto de soltar el pasado, Xavier Guix analiza con claridad y rigor cómo la memoria construye la historia que nos contamos sobre nosotros mismos y cómo ciertos episodios, creencias o heridas se convierten en auténticas cárceles interiores.

Chiedersi se siamo felici, se lo siamo stati o se speriamo di poterlo essere, può sembrare un esercizio provvisorio e perfino ingenuo, ma alla fine è l'unica domanda che ha un senso compiuto. Ci sono libri che sfuggono alle rigide classificazioni di critici ed editori, e, parlando al cuore dei lettori, li accompagnano nel percorso spesso difficile e a volte esaltante della vita quotidiana. Crepet scrive il suo libro più importante, un antidoto contro l'omologazione, contro i rischi della tecnocrazia e della violenza sotterranea ed esplicita che percorre i nostri tempi.

Уникален не только каждый человек, но и каждое наше взаимодействие. Доктор философии Лайонел Стэйпли много лет посвятил изучению индивидуальных и групповых динамик—социально-психологических процессов, определяющих поведение человека и членов малых групп. Он говорит о бессознательных и зачастую иррациональных причинах поведения, которое демонстрируют люди в межличностных отношениях, а также в группах и коллективах. Они помогают определить свои границы, выстроить взаимоотношения в семье, кругу друзей и рабочем коллективе.

Combining social and cognitive neuroscience with real-life accounts from genocide perpetrators, this book sheds light on the process through which obedience influences cognition and behavior. Emilie Caspar, a leading expert in the field, translates this neuroscientific approach into a clear, uncomplicated explanation, even for those with no background in psychology or neuroscience. By better understanding humanity's propensity for direct orders to short-circuit our own independent decision-making, we can edge closer to effective prevention processes.

Millennials might have grown up online but now they want to log off. And it's not just millennials. A year of lockdowns, Zoom meetings and reduced physical contact has made us more dependent on the internet than ever before - but has it lost its humanity? Our focus on community and real...

Live Like a Spy: Social Charm is a five hour audio field manual for the social side of tradecraft. Most people walk into rooms hoping for chemistry, trying to be liked, chasing momentum, and giving away power without realizing it. Operatives don’t do that. They enter with composure, read what’s in front of them, and make connection feel effortless, not because they’re louder or smoother, but because they’re controlled. Calm is visible. Attention is precise. Exits are clean.
