The Thoughts of Blaise Pascal

Blaise Pascal

Summary

'The Thoughts of Blaise Pascal', edited by Auguste Molinier, challenges the fallacy that science and philosophy only began in the late 19th century, as Pascal's profound musings in the early 17th century proved to be a precursor to modern thought. The book also provides an overview of the life of Pascal and the story of Port Royal, giving readers a clear understanding of the historical and cultural context that influenced his intellectual development. Dive into the mind of a mathematical genius and religious philosopher, and discover the brilliance of Blaise Pascal.

How to Analyze People - System...

Ralph Atkinson

You have come to the right place. One of the superpowers that human beings have is hidden thoughts. People say one thing and mean the opposite all the time. These deceptive tendencies are the primary cause of disappointment and evil in society today. Fortunately, experts have come up with an array of methodologies and techniques that reveal the truth behind spoken words, making the analysis of people very easy. These techniques have been tried and proven to be effective in almost all sectors, from solving crimes to helping make personal decisions about people.

How to Analyze people is your best bet towards beginning your journey to reading people accurately. This book contains techniques and methods that will help you understand the truth about the person you are interacting with. If we only knew the true colors of half of the people we interacted with, we wouldn’t be involved with them in the first place. With the knowledge dispensed in this book, you will never have regrets about people again.

Some of the topics that you will get to learn about include:

-The basics of analyzing people, which contains vital points about what you should know before you begin the analysis process

-Tips that will help you become a stellar analyzer in a short period of time

-How to establish an analysis baseline

-Different personalities, and how they influence people’s behaviors

-Non-verbal communication and why it is the most potent technique

-Different types of non-verbal communication and how you should go about them

-Popular myths that you should disband completely

-The highly underrated power of intuition
I have written each technique in a straightforward and simple language that can be easily understood by anyone. If you have always wondered how the FBI and psychologists read people accurately, look no further. Once you tap into the knowledge, I can guarantee that you will be able to see people for whom they truly are, helping you avoid deceptive and malicious people.
