It examines how psychological tactics, such as propaganda and deception, have been used throughout history to influence the outcomes of battles and wars. The book highlights how understanding cognitive biases and leveraging vulnerabilities can be as decisive as physical force.For example, manipulating enemy morale has proven to be a potent tool, demonstrating that mental fortitude is as critical as military might. The book progresses from foundational concepts of psychological manipulation to detailed case studies drawn from military history. It showcases instances where misinformation campaigns and the exploitation of cognitive biases significantly altered the course of events.By synthesizing historical examples with psychological principles, Psychological Warfare provides a framework for understanding strategic operations.

Algren - A Life

Mary Wisniewski

Chicago Writers Association Nonfiction Book of the Year (2017) Society of Midland Authors Literary Award in Biography (2017)

A tireless champion of the downtrodden, Nelson Algren, one of the most celebrated writers of the 20th century, lived an outsider's life himself. He spent a month in prison as a young man for the theft of a typewriter; his involvement in Marxist groups earned him a lengthy FBI dossier; and he spent much of his life palling around with the sorts of drug addicts, prostitutes, and poor laborers who inspired and populated his novels and short stories. Most today know Algren as the radical, womanizing writer of The Man with the Golden Arm, which won the first National Book Award, in 1950, but award-winning reporter Mary Wisniewski offers a deeper portrait. Starting with his childhood in the City of Big Shoulders, Algren sheds new light on the writer's most momentous periods, from his on-again-off-again work for the WPA to his stint as an uninspired soldier in World War II to his long-distance affair with his most famous lover, Simone de Beauvoir, to the sense of community and acceptance Algren found in the artist colony of Sag Harbor before his death in 1981. Wisniewski interviewed dozens of Algren's closest friends and inner circle, including photographer Art Shay and author and historian Studs Terkel, and tracked down much of his unpublished writing and correspondence. She unearths new details about the writer's life, work, personality, and habits and reveals a funny, sensitive, and romantic but sometimes exasperating, insecure, and self-destructive artist. The first new biography of Algren in over 25 years, this fresh look at the man whose unique style and compassionate message enchanted readers and fellow writers and whose boyish charm seduced many women is indispensable to anyone interested in 20-century American literature and history.

The Universe Within

Raphael Terra

This audiobook has been recorded using Text to speech (TTS). 
 
This is a divided and chaotic world. A world torn apart by greed and hatred. By desires that spread around the world like a disease. The stress of modern life pushes us further and further apart from each other and nature. 
 
The simple fact is that we are destroying the planet upon which we rely for sustenance. Our chaotic minds form chaotic societies. Power and wealth are in the hands of the people who should not have them. We subconsciously know that we have screwed things up and yet we proceed to screw things up a little more with each passing generation. 
 
We have forgotten the prime directive of the universe. We ignore its teachings. We fail to listen to its pleas. 
 
The truth that will save you and all of mankind is very simple. It is the Universal Law of Attraction and it is time to listen and learn from it.
