Synopsis

Greatest Rivalries explores the captivating world of sports rivalries, diving deep into the historical, social, and psychological forces that ignite such intense competition. More than simple contests, these rivalries reflect our innate drive to compete, often pushing athletes to achieve unprecedented levels of excellence. The book analyzes how mutual antagonism can paradoxically elevate performance, shaping legacies and captivating audiences worldwide.

 
For example, regional identities, economic disparities, and political tensions all contribute to the intensity seen in clashes like Celtics vs. Lakers. The book dissects a curated selection of rivalries across diverse sports, using each as a case study to illustrate broader themes of competition, motivation, and the pursuit of excellence. It provides historical context, tracing the origins and evolution of each rivalry, including examining rule changes and shifts in team personnel.

 
By examining these rivalries, readers will gain a deeper appreciation for the role of sports in society, understanding the psychology of competition and the sociological impact of team rivalries. The book progresses by laying out an analytical framework, then dedicating chapters to specific rivalries like the Federer-Nadal tennis rivalry.

    On Life After Death

    C. G. Jung, (Carl Gustav Jung) was a Swiss psychiatrist and psychotherapist who founded analytical psychology. Jung proposed and developed the concepts of extraversion and introversion archetypes, as well as the collective unconscious. His work has been influential in psychiatry and in the study of religion, philosophy, archeology, anthropology, literature, and related fields. He was a prolific writer, many of whose works were not published until after his death. 
    The central concept of analytical psychology is individuation—the psychological process of integrating the opposites, including the conscious with the unconscious, while still maintaining their relative autonomy. Jung considered individuation to be the central process of human development. 
    Jung created some of the best known psychological concepts, including the archetype, the collective unconscious, the complex, and synchronicity. The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), a popular psychometric instrument, has been developed from Jung's theory of psychological types. 
    Though he was a practising clinician and considered himself to be a scientist, much of his life's work was spent exploring tangential areas such as Eastern and Western philosophy, alchemy, astrology, and sociology, as well as literature and the arts. Jung's interest in philosophy and the occult led many to view him as a mystic, although his ambition was to be seen as a man of science. His influence on popular psychology, the psychologization of religion, spirituality, and the New Age movement has been immense.

    The first Cold War was a struggle between capitalism and communism; most Western politicians and policymakers imagine the new one to be a struggle between democracy and autocracy. Russia's World Order explains that in Russian eyes, the conflict is about something very different: it is a fight between two incompatible visions of where history is leading. 
     
     
     
    Russia's World Order describes the civilizational theory that has come to dominate Russian official discourse, and that has come to dominate Russian official discourse and that is being used to justify its clashes with the West. Whereas the West promotes a vision of history that drives all nations toward convergence on a single model, Russia's political leaders increasingly portray the world as consisting of numerous distinct civilizations, each diverging toward its own destination. The Russian state portrays itself as defending the right of all civilizations to chart their own independent path and is having some success in using this logic to win allies. 
     
     
     
    Paul Robinson recounts how ideas of inevitable convergence once dominated Russian thought as well but were gradually pushed out by civilizational theories. He outlines where these theories came from, what they propose, and how they became popular. Russia's World Order thereby reveals the true nature of today's New Cold War.
