Delphi Complete Works of Alciphron (Illustrated)

Alciphron

Beschreibung

Alciphron was a second century AD writer of highly literary and stylistic letters, owing much to the New Comedy of Menander, while providing a fascinating window into the social life of Athens after the reign of Alexander. The letters represent some of the most important and appealing compositions of the Second Sophistic period. They comprise a wide variety of circumstances, detailing the colourful lives of parasites, courtesans, fishermen and farmers; the theme of erotic love is never far. Alciphron’s inventive imagination and compelling realism have won him a place of distinction in the early development of romantic prose. Delphi’s Ancient Classics series provides eReaders with the wisdom of the Classical world, with both English translations and the original Greek texts. This eBook presents Alciphron’s complete extant works, with illustrations, informative introductions and the usual Delphi bonus material. (Version 1)

Dark Psychology Mastery Vol 2 -...

Michael Pace

"Dark Psychology Mastery Vol is a masterful combination of two profound books by Michael Pace, a trailblazer who introduced the world to "Dark Psychology" in 2014. This volume, bringing together two distinct yet complementary areas of psychological manipulation and influence, offers an in-depth exploration of the darker aspects of human interaction and mind control. 
Michael Pace, following his seminal work "Dark Psychology 101" that sent shockwaves in 2015, continues to unravel the complex layers of the human psyche in this compelling compilation. The first part of the volume, "Dark NLP: How To Use Neuro-linguistic Programming For Self Mastery, Getting What You Want, Mastering Others And To Gain An Advantage Over Anyone," delves into the world of Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), a tool so potent that its full potential has been shrouded in secrecy. Pace skillfully combines critical insights from both psychology and NLP, offering readers a unique opportunity to master their own lives before extending their influence over others. This book is a guide to harnessing the power of NLP, from creating deep connections instantly to achieving personal goals and mastering the art of influence. 
The journey deepens with the second part, "Dark Cognitive Behavioral Therapy: How to Stealthily Use CBT Methods To Influence And Manipulate Anyone’s Mind." Here, Pace takes a familiar therapeutic approach – Cognitive Behavioral Therapy – and reveals its darker application. Dark CBT emerges as a powerful technique for personal success, enabling readers to subtly manipulate and influence others, molding situations and people to their advantage. This section of the book is not just a revelation; it's a strategy for personal empowerment, teaching you to heal and influence simultaneously.

Coming to Terms With One’s...

Ruth Walshe

"Though, to some extent, the psychological and the Buddhist way of looking at the shadow is similar, the Buddhist way of seeing, rather than investigating, is far deeper and more penetrating. For if you wash your dirty linen yourself instead of sending it to the laundry, you yourself discover the stains. But unlike with the washing, there is no need to scrub them, it is just the act of seeing which cleanses them. 
 
In order to explain the shadow, we must first turn the spotlight onto the discrimination of good and bad which starts off our suffering, followed by craving— the second Noble Truth—which in its turn is brought about by our erroneous I-am-I consciousness. I want!—I don’t want! I want the good!—I don’t want the bad! This is outward-bound but exactly the same applies to our emotions too."

Rogue Elephant - How the...

Paul Heideman

Rogue Elephant traces the radicalization of the Republican Party over the past fifty years, arguing that its subordination to Donald Trump was not an anomaly, but rather the culmination of processes at work for decades. 
 
 
 
Providing a new perspective on figures from Newt Gingrich and George W. Bush to the Tea Party and Donald Trump, it shows that the party's lurch to the far right was the product of a volatile mix of a disorganized party structure and a divided and fractious class of American business owners. 
 
 
 
These forces have propelled ever more reactionary leaders to the front of the party, setting up cycles where the insurgents of one period become the party establishment of the next, and find themselves confronted with a new batch of insurgents even farther to the right. 
 
 
 
The result is that a party that was once seen as the handmaiden of American business has increasingly found itself in conflict with business groups like the Chamber of Commerce. 
 
 
 
Considering the implications of these dynamics for American democracy, Heideman warns that there may be no going back to normal for the Republican Party without a much broader transformation of American society.
