Did Ye Hear Mammy Died? - A Memoir

Séamas O'Reilly

A heart-warming and hilarious family memoir of growing up as one of eleven siblings raised by a single dad in Northern Ireland at the end of the Troubles. Séamas O’Reilly’s mother died when he was five, leaving him, his ten (!) brothers and sisters, and their beloved father in their sprawling bungalow in rural Derry. It was the 1990s; the Troubles were a background rumble, but Séamas was more preoccupied with dinosaurs, Star Wars, and the actual location of heaven than the political climate.   An instant bestseller in Ireland, Did Ye Hear Mammy Died? is a book about a family of loud, argumentative, musical, sarcastic, grief-stricken siblings, shepherded into adulthood by a man whose foibles and reticence were matched only by his love for his children and his determination that they would flourish.  “In this joyous, wildly unconventional memoir, Séamas O'Reilly tells the story of losing his mother as a child and growing up with ten siblings in Northern Ireland during the final years of the Troubles as a raucous comedy, a grand caper that is absolutely bursting with life.”―Patrick Radden Keefe, NYT bestselling author of Say Nothing and Empire of Pain One of NPR’s Best Books of the Year

Machiavellianism - Manipulative...

Cito Harder

Machiavellianism is a philosophy that prioritizes power, strategy, and manipulation over conventional morality. Rooted in the writings of Niccolò Machiavelli, particularly The Prince, this mindset champions pragmatism and cunning as necessary tools for success. Machiavellianism does not concern itself with what is right or wrong in a moral sense; instead, it focuses on what is effective. Those who embrace this approach believe that power is not given but taken, and maintaining it requires calculated decisions rather than ethical considerations.
At its core, Machiavellianism operates on the assumption that people are driven by self-interest and can be easily influenced, deceived, or controlled. While traditional morality emphasizes honesty, fairness, and compassion, a Machiavellian sees these values as potential weaknesses when navigating competitive environments. Success, according to this philosophy, is reserved for those who can manipulate perceptions, control narratives, and strategically outmaneuver others. This way of thinking is often observed in politics, business, and personal relationships, where the ability to influence others determines one's level of power.
One of the key aspects of Machiavellianism is the belief that the ends justify the means. A leader, politician, or corporate executive following this mindset may employ deceit, flattery, or even betrayal to secure and maintain power. Machiavelli himself argued that rulers must sometimes act immorally for the greater stability of their state. In the modern world, this principle manifests in various ways, from corporate takeovers to political campaigns that use misinformation to sway public opinion.
