Dark Persuasion: A History of Brainwashing from Pavlov to Social Media - Dimsdale Joel E.

A harrowing account of brainwashing’s pervasive role in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries This gripping book traces the evolution of brainwashing from its beginnings in torture and religious conversion into the age of neuroscience and social media. When Pavlov introduced scientific approaches, his research was enthusiastically supported by Lenin and Stalin, setting the stage for major breakthroughs in tools for social, political, and religious control. Tracing these developments through many of the past century’s major conflagrations, Dimsdale narrates how when World War II erupted, governments secretly raced to develop drugs for interrogation. Brainwashing returned to the spotlight during the Cold War in the hands of the North Koreans and Chinese. In response, a huge Manhattan Project of the Mind was established to study memory obliteration, indoctrination during sleep, and hallucinogens. Cults used the techniques as well. Nobel laureates, university academics, intelligence operatives, criminals, and clerics all populate this shattering and dark story—one that hasn’t yet ended.

An Academy for Liars - Hendersonová Alexis

Lennon Carter's life is falling apart. Until she gets a mysterious phone call inviting her to sit the entrance exam for somewhere very few have heard of - Drayton College, a school of magic hidden in a secret pocket of Savannah. Lennon has been chosen because - like everyone else at the school - she is special. She possesses the innate gift of persuasion: the ability to wield her will like a weapon and to use it to control others and, in rare cases, matter itself. After passing the gruelling exam, Lennon must now learn how to master this devastating power. While persuasion takes a heavy toll on her body and her mind, she is captivated by all that surrounds her - her studies, Drayton's lush, moss-draped campus, her brilliant classmates and, most of all, by Dante, the charismatic adviser who both intimidates and enamours her. But as Lennon becomes more adept at wielding her uncanny abilities, she uncovers more about the unsettling history of Drayton and Dante's tragic and violent past, and is increasingly disturbed by what she finds. For it seems that the ultimate test is to embrace absolute power without succumbing to corruption and darkness . . . and it's a test she's terrified she is going to fail.

Pýcha a přemlouvání - Jane Austenová

„První moderní anglická autorka“ – „Mladší sestra Shakespearova“ – to jsou jen dva z mnoha lichotivých atributů, jimiž obdivovatelé vzdávají hold autorce, která už víc jak dvě století poutá neutuchající lásku vděčných čtenářů. Austenová žila v době, kdy v literatuře vládl romantismus, bouřlivé city, temné tragično, přemíra sentimentu, jí však bylo dáno hravé, ironicky laděné, komické vidění okolního světa, smysl pro mravní hodnoty, schopnost vidět lidem až na dno duše, a k tomu suverénní vypravěčský talent. „Píšu o lásce a penězích, o čem jiném lze taky vůbec psát?“ podotkla kdysi. A láska ve svých proměnlivých podobách, věrná i zrazující, ztracená i znovunalezená, sebestředná i obětavá, provází jemnou Annu, popelku v rodině pošetilého, ješitného baroneta, a nejedné zkoušce je její citlivá duše vystavena, než ona i všichni kolem ní dohrají svou lidskou komedii.Román, který jsme nazvali „Pýcha a přemlouvání“ vyšel posmrtně v roce 1818 pod názvem „Persuasion.“

Fathers and Sons - Ivan Sergejevič Turgeněv

Turgenev''s masterpiece about the conflict between generations is as fresh, outspoken, and exciting today as it was in when it was first published in 1862. The controversial portrait of Bazarov, the energetic, cynical, and self-assured `nihilist'' who repudiates the romanticism of his elders, shook Russian society.

Personality and Power : Builders and Destroyers of Modern Europe - Ian Kershaw

One of the great historians of our age asks: how far can a single leader alter the course of history?The modern era saw the emergence of individuals who had command over a terrifying array of instruments of control, persuasion and death. Whole societies were re-shaped and wars fought, often with a merciless contempt for the most basic norms. At the summit of these societies were leaders whose personalities had somehow given them the ability to do whatever they wished.Ian Kershaw's new book is a compelling, lucid and challenging attempt to understand these rulers, whether operating on the widest stage (Lenin, Stalin, Hitler, Mussolini) or with a more national impact (Tito, Franco). What was it about these leaders and the times they lived in that allowed them such untrammelled and murderous power? And what brought that era to an end? In a contrasting group of profiles, from Churchill to de Gaulle, Adenauer to Gorbachev, and Thatcher to Kohl, Kershaw uses his exceptional skills to think through how other, strikingly different figures wielded power.

Ennui - Maria Edgeworth - e-kniha

eBook: Lord Glenthorn is bored and lacking oomph. But before you feel sorry for him, it is worth knowing that he has a pile of money, a grand title, estates in England and Ireland and no stress. That is until he finds out he is not Lord Glenthorn, the Anglo-Irish earl. He is in fact the peasant Christy O\'Donoghoe, which is a fly in the ointment for his efforts to provide for the woman he loves. At the same time, he gets caught up in the violent Irish Rebellion of 1798. Can he shake off the ennui, become a self-made man and win the hand of his love? Those who enjoy Jane Austen\'s novels, including \'Persuasion\', \'Sense and Sensibility\', and \'Pride and Prejudice\', will love \'Ennui\'. Like Austen, Maria Edgeworth has a gift for gently exposing the hypocrisy and accidental comedy of Britain\'s 19th century upper-middle class. First published in 1809, \'Ennui\' is a didactic novel, which means it aims to teach the reader a moral lesson - like \'Aesop\'s Fables\'. The Irish writer Maria Edgeworth (1768-1849) was highly regarded in her day as a pioneer of early 19th century fiction and children\'s literature. A friend of the novelist Sir Walter Scott (\'Ivanhoe\', \'Rob Roy\'), she was active and vocal about political and estate reform. Today, she is rather underappreciated - and overshadowed - by other 19th century satirical novelists like Jane Austen and Anthony Trollope. A prolific writer, Edgeworth\'s best-known works include \'Ennui\', \'The Dun\' and \'Belinda\', which was controversial in its day for featuring inter-racial marriage.

Před-svědčování - Robert B. Cialdini - e-kniha

eBook: Svůj klasický bestseller Zbraně vlivu napsal Robert Cialdini už před dvaatřiceti lety. Úspěch první knihy – 3 miliony prodaných výtisků v 31 jazycích – byl ale jen začátkem. Tématem přesvědčování (anglicky persuasion) se autor zabýval i nadále a výsledkem je mimořádně čtivá kniha Před-svědčování (Pre-suasion). Na rozdíl od Zbraní vlivu, které radí, jak se bránit manipulativním technikám, se Cialdini nyní soustřeďuje na to, jak účinně ovlivňovat druhé, samozřejmě v etických mezích. A přináší zásadně nový, přitom vědecky podložený objev: nejdůležitější není samotné sdělení, ale jak zapůsobíme na posluchače ještě před ním. Na tom závisí, zda posluchač naše sdělení ochotně přijme a nechá se jím ovlivnit, nebo ho odmítne – ve skutečnosti už předem.# V KNIZE SE DOZVÍTE:- Co je to privilegovaný moment, v němž máte největší šanci ovlivnit druhé- Že lidé považují za nejdůležitější to, na co se zrovna soustředí – a jak toho využít- Které marketingové a reklamní postupy fungují či nefungují, a proč- Čím nás při komunikaci ovlivňuje okolní fyzické prostředí- O neuvěřitelné účinnosti podvědomých asociací, které mění náš úsudek- Jak fungují atraktory, které automaticky přitáhnou pozornost, a jak magnetizéry, které pozornost dokážou udržet- Příklady mistrovských přesvědčovacích výkonů těch nejlepších vyjednavačů a obchodníků# O autoroviDr. ROBERT B. CIALDINI je nejcitovanější sociální psycholog dneška, který se po celou svou profesní dráhu zabývá mechanismy ovlivňování a přesvědčování (persuaze). Jeho kniha Zbraně vlivu – Manipulativní techniky a jak se jim bránit (Influence) je široce uznávaným základním dílem tohoto oboru. Cialdini při své práci kombinuje zkoumání praktik komunikačních profesionálů (marketérů, obchodníků, lidí z reklamní a PR branže) s vědeckými, behaviorálními experimenty.Cialdini je emeritním profesorem psychologie a marketingu na Arizonské státní univerzitě v USA. Současně je ředitelem mezinárodně působící společnosti INFLUENCE AT WORK (www.influenceatwork.com), která poskytuje konzultace a školení, jak využít autorovy poznatky v praxi; Cialdini byl například poradcem Baracka Obamy během jeho volební kampaně.

The Art of Power - Pelosi Nancy

The most powerful woman in American political history tells the story of her transformation from housewife to House Speaker how she became a master legislator, a key partner to presidents, and the most visible leader of the Trump resistance.When, at age forty-six, Nancy Pelosi, mother of five, asked her youngest daughter if she should run for Congress, Alexandra Pelosi answered: ';Mother, get a life!' And so Nancy did, and what a life it has been.In The Art of Power, Pelosi describes for the first time what it takes to make history not only as the first woman to ascend to the most powerful legislative role in our nation, but to pass laws that would save lives and livelihoods, from the emergency rescue of the economy in 2008 to transforming health care. She describes the perseverance, persuasion, and respect for her members that it took to succeed, but also the joy of seeing America change for the better.Among the best-prepared and hardest working Speakers in history, Pelosi worked to find common ground, or stand her ground, with presidents from Bush to Biden. She also shares moving moments with soldiers sent to the front lines, women who inspired her, and human rights activists who fought by her side.Pelosi took positions that established her as a prophetic voice on the major moral issues of the day, warning early about the dangers of the Iraq War and of the Chinese government's long record of misbehaviour. This moral courage prepared her for the arrival of Trump, with whom she famously tangled, becoming a red-coated symbol of resistance to his destructive presidency.Here, she reveals how she went toe-to-toe with Trump, leading up to January 6, 2021, when he unleashed his post-election fury on the Congress. Pelosi gives us her personal account of that day: the assault not only on the symbol of our democracy but on the men and women who had come to serve the nation, never expecting to hide under desks or flee for their lives and her determined efforts to get the National Guard to the Capitol. Nearly two years later, violence and fury would erupt inside Pelosi's own home when an intruder, demanding to see the Speaker, viciously attacked her beloved husband, Paul.Here, Pelosi shares that horrifying day and the traumatic aftermath for her and her family.The woman who has been lauded by her opposition as ';the most powerful Speaker' ever shows us why she is not afraid of a good fight. The Art of Power is about the fighting spirit that has always animated her, and the historic legacy that spirit has produced.
