conspiracy ryan holiday

Conspiracy theories are legion. Conspiracies are rare. And of the few that do exist, fewer are ever discovered, let alone explained. This story is the exception.In 2016, media giant Gawker was forced to declare bankruptcy after a $140 million dollar judgment in court over an illegally recorded sex tape of Hulk Hogan. The case was no accident: it was the result of a nearly decade-long plot masterminded by Facebook and Paypal billionaire Peter Thiel.With exclusive access to all the key players, Ryan Holiday takes us behind the scenes of this extraordinary and at times surreal story, and transforms the events into both a dissection of that controversial methodology - conspiracy - and an eye-opening cautionary tale on the use, abuse and consequences of power and secrecy in the modern age.

Ve svém bestselleru Disciplína je osud předložil Ryan Holiday stoické argumenty pro život plný sebekázně. V tomto očekávaném třetím díle série Stoických ctností obhajuje nutnost dělat to, co je správné – i když to není snadné.Podle starověkých učenců vycházelo vše, co v životě stojí za to, ze silného smyslu pro spravedlnost – neboli z odhodlání dělat správné věci, ať už jsou jakkoli obtížné. Abychom byli odvážní, moudří a ukáznění, musíme začít spravedlností. Vliv moderního světa nám často říká, že jednat spravedlivě není povinností člověka. Holiday tvrdí, že to prostě není pravda – a skutečnost, že tak málo lidí má dnes sílu stát si za svým přesvědčením, vysvětluje mnohé o tom, proč jsme tak nešťastní.V knize Right Thing, Right Now se Holiday opírá o fascinující příběhy historických osobností, jako byli Marcus Aurelius, Florence Nightingale, Jimmy Carter, Gándhí a Frederick Douglass, jejichž příklady laskavosti, čestnosti, poctivosti a věrnosti můžeme napodobovat a mít je jako pilíře poctivého života. Prostřednictvím životů těchto vzorů se čtenáři dozvědí, jak proměňující sílu má život podle morálního kodexu. Na druhé straně také díky varovným příběhům nespravedlivých vůdců zjistí, jaké důsledky má špatně formované svědomí.Stoikové nikdy netvrdili, že žít spravedlivě je snadné, pouze že je to nutné.

Často si myslíme, že ti druzí a vnější podmínky definují naše naděje na dosažení životního úspěchu a pocitu naplnění. Ve skutečnosti se náš největší nepřítel skrývá uvnitř nás: naše ego. Na počátku naší dráhy nás brzdí v učení a rozvíjení talentu. Rostoucí úspěch nás může oslepit, takže ztrácíme schopnost vidět vlastní chyby, což zasévá budoucí problémy. Při neúspěchu ego umocňuje každé zranění a ztěžuje nápravu. V každé fázi nám vlastní ego stojí v cestě. Ve světě, kde jsou v popředí sociální média a realitní show, je boj s egem nezbytný. Ego je nepřítel nám nabízí zbraň k tomuto boji. Díky lekcím z této knihy, jak uvádí Holiday, "budete méně investovat do příběhu, který vyprávíte o své vlastní výjimečnosti, a v důsledku toho budete osvobozeni, abyste mohli vykonat dílo s přesahem tak, jak jste si předsevzali".

Throughout history, there has been one quality that great leaders, makers, artists and fighters have shared. The Zen Buddhists described it as inner peace, the Stoics called it ataraxia and Ryan Holiday calls it stillness: the ability to be steady, focused and calm in a constantly busy world. Drawing on a wide range of history's greatest thinkers, Holiday shows us how crucial stillness is, and how it can be cultivated in our own lives today. Just as Winston Churchill, Oprah Winfrey and baseball player Sadaharu Oh have done, we can all benefit from stillness to feed into our greater ambitions - whether building a business or simply finding happiness, peace and self-direction. Stillness is the key to the self-mastery, discipline and focus necessary to succeed in this competitive, noisy world.

We give up too easily. With a simple change of attitude, what seem like insurmountable obstacles become once-in-a-lifetime opportunities. Ryan Holiday, who dropped out of college at nineteen to serve as an apprentice to bestselling 'modern Machiavelli' Robert Greene and is now a media consultant for billion-dollar brands, draws on the philosophy of the Stoics to guide you in every situation, showing that what blocks our path actually opens one that is new and better. If the competition threatens you, it's time to be fearless, to display your courage. An impossible deadline becomes a chance to show how dedicated you are. And as Ryan discovered as Director of Marketing for American Apparel, if your brand is generating controversy - it's also potentially generating publicity. The Stoic philosophy - that what is in the way, is the way - can be applied to any problem: it's a formula invented more than 2,000 years ago, whose effectiveness has been proven in battles and board rooms ever since. From Barack Obama's ability to overcome obstacles in his election races, to the design of the iPhone, the stoic philosophy has helped its users become world-beaters.

Ryan Holiday dokázal nadchnout pro moudrost starověku již mnoho čtenářů. Ve své nové knize Klíčem je klid ukazuje na nadčasových základech stoické a buddhistické filosofie, jak se vnitřní klid může stát naší tajnou zbraní. Všichni velcí myslitelé, umělci, sportovci a vizionáři mají jednu nepopiratelnou společnou vlastnost. Je jí schopnost nepodléhat náladám; schopnost nenechat se rozptýlit a vidět tak věci podstatné a na první pohled skryté. Autor načrtává cestu, jak tohoto starodávného, a přece dnes tak naléhavě potřebného způsobu života dosáhnout. Uvádí řadu velkých myslitelů a zajímavých osobností (Konfucius, Seneca, Marcus Aurelius, Sadaharu Oh, Churchill, Anne Franková...) a na jejich příkladu ukazuje, že vnitřní klid není pouhou nečinností, ale branou k sebeovládání, sebe-mistrovství, sebekázni a soustředění.

It's wrecked the careers of promising young geniuses. It's evaporated great fortunes and run companies into the ground. It's made adversity unbearable and turned struggle into shame. Every great philosopher has warned against it, in our most lasting stories and countless works of art, in all culture and all ages. Its name? Ego, and it is the enemy - of ambition, of success and of resilience. In Ego is the Enemy, Ryan Holiday shows us how and why ego is such a powerful internal opponent to be guarded against at all stages of our careers and lives, and that we can only create our best work when we identify, acknowledge and disarm its dangers.

Říká se, že strach je špatný rádce, ale co když je to přesně naopak? Možná bychom mu měli bedlivě naslouchat, a pak udělat přesný opak toho, co nám radí. Strach není opakem odvahy, ale jejím hybatelem. Odvaha je pak cílená práce se strachem a triumf nad ním. Okamžik pravdy. Někdo jednou řekl, že stoik je člověk, který pošle osud do prdele. Přesně tak. Stoik vzdoruje. Bojuje. Musí si vyvzdorovat život, jaký chce. Jsme tady na velmi krátkou dobu. "Jak s tímto časem naložíte? Jako zbabělec? Jaké šance necháváte nevyužité? Představte si děsivé náklady přízemnosti. Strach, který pociťujete, je skvělým znamením. Pokud se od vás nikdy nepožaduje odvaha, žijete nudný život. Vystavujte se situacím, které vás nutí skočit.

Aby se člověk dokázal postavit jakékoliv výzvě, musí v první řadě ovládnout sám sebe - své emoce, myšlenky a činy. Jak trefně pravil Eisenhower, svoboda je naší příležitostí ukázat sebekázeň. Cicero nazval ctnost střídmosti třpytem života. Bez kázně a sebeovládání riskujeme, že nejen že nenaplníme svůj potenciál, ale také ohrožujeme to, čeho jsme dosud dosáhli.

9/11 was an inside job. The Holocaust is a myth promoted to serve Jewish interests. The shootings at Sandy Hook Elementary School were a false flag operation. Climate change is a hoax perpetrated by the Chinese government. These are all conspiracy theories. A glance online or at bestseller lists reveals how popular some of them are. Even if there is plenty of evidence to disprove them, people persist in propagating them. Why? Philosopher Quassim Cassam explains how conspiracy theories are different from ordinary theories about conspiracies. He argues that conspiracy theories are forms of propaganda and their function is to promote a political agenda. Although conspiracy theories are sometimes defended on the grounds that they uncover evidence of bad behaviour by political leaders, they do much more harm than good, with some resulting in the deaths of large numbers of people. There can be no clearer indication that something has gone wrong with our intellectual and political culture than the fact that conspiracy theories have become mainstream. When they are dangerous, we cannot afford to ignore them. At the same time, refuting them by rational argument is difficult because conspiracy theorists discount or reject evidence that disproves their theories. As ... Unknown localization key: "more"

By deliberately scrambling the syntax—conspiracy theory cum theory conspiracy—it seeks to open a set of reflections on the articulation between theory and conspiracy that addresses how conspiracy might rattle the sense of theory as such. In this sense, the volume also inevitably stumbles on the recent debates on postcritique. The suspicion that our ways of reading in the humanities have been far too suspicious, if not paranoid, has gained considerable attention in a humanities continuously questioned as superfluous at best and leftist and dangerous at worst. The chapters in this volume all approach this problematic from different angles. It features clear engaging writing by a set of contributors who have published extensively on questions of paranoia, conspiracy theory, and/or the state of theory today. This collection will appeal to readers interested in conspiracy theories, critical theory, and the future of humanities.

Between the 1880s and 1920s, a broad coalition of American dissidents, which included rabble-rousing cartoonists, civil liberties lawyers, socialist detectives, union organizers, and revolutionary martyrs, forged a culture of popular radicalism that directly challenged an emergent corporate capitalism. Monopoly capitalists and their allies in government responded by expanding conspiracy laws and promoting conspiracy theories in an effort to destroy this anti-capitalist movement. The result was an escalating class conflict in which each side came to view the other as a criminal conspiracy.In this detailed cultural history, Michael Mark Cohen argues that a legal, ideological, and representational politics of conspiracy contributed to the formation of a genuinely revolutionary mass culture in the United States, starting with the 1886 Haymarket bombing. Drawing on a wealth of primary sources, The Conspiracy of Capital offers a new history of American radicalism and the alliance between the modern business corporation and national security state through a comprehensive reassessment of the role of conspiracy laws and conspiracy theories in American social movements.

What makes people believe in conspiracy theories? Why have they taken over our political sphere? And how do we counter them before it's too late?The world has always had conspiracy theories. From the Illuminati to the deep state, the JFK assassination to the death of Princess Diana - there have always been those who believe that events are manipulated by shadowy forces with sinister intent. But in recent years, conspiracism has colonised the mainstream.These days, it is a booming industry, a political strategy and a pseudo-religion - and it's threatening the foundations of liberal democracy. Where once political battles were fought over ideas and values, it now feels as though we're arguing over the nature of reality itself. The problem is bigger than lizard people or UFOs: left unchecked, conspiracy theories have the power to warp the fabric of society and justify unspeakable crimes.In Conspiracy Theory: The Story of an Idea, Ian Dunt and Dorian Lynskey pull back the curtain on conspiracy theories: where they come from, who promotes them, how they work and what they're doing to us.

Ever since the Warren Commission concluded that a lone gunman assassinated President John F. Kennedy, people who doubt that finding have been widely dismissed as conspiracy theorists, despite credible evidence that right-wing elements in the CIA, FBI, and Secret Service—and possibly even senior government officials—were also involved. Why has suspicion of criminal wrongdoing at the highest levels of government been rejected out-of-hand as paranoid thinking akin to superstition?Conspiracy Theory in America investigates how the Founders’ hard-nosed realism about the likelihood of elite political misconduct—articulated in the Declaration of Independence—has been replaced by today’s blanket condemnation of conspiracy beliefs as ludicrous by definition. Lance deHaven-Smith reveals that the term “conspiracy theory” entered the American lexicon of political speech to deflect criticism of the Warren Commission and traces it back to a CIA propaganda campaign to discredit doubters of the commission’s report. He asks tough questions and connects the dots among five decades’ worth of suspicious events, including the assassinations of John and Robert Kennedy, the attempted assassinations of George Wallace and Ronald Reagan, the crimes of Watergate, the Iran-Contra arms-for-hostages deal, the disputed presidential elections of 2000 and 2004, the major defense failure of 9/11, and the subsequent anthrax letter attacks.Sure ...
