The Crowd

Gustave Le Bon

Sinopsis

Published in 1895, it anticipated the instrumental use of crowds and the era of great dictatorships with extraordinary foresight. It influenced Freud, Theodore Roosevelt, Mussolini and De Gaulle. It paved the way for the emergence of a new discipline, social psychology, becoming a fundamental text in the sociology of communication. Crowds are a destructive force, lacking an overall vision, undisciplined. This makes them easily orientable and impressionable. The prestige and charisma of the leader, thanks to the repetitive use of a few simple slogans, not argued, is able to access their primitive collective unconscious and therefore to maneuver them. In the collective soul, the intellectual attitudes of men, and consequently their individuality, are annulled.

Surf Like a Woman

Pauline Menczer, Luke Benedictus

In the 80s and 90s, surf culture was toxic, especially towards women. But Pauline Menczer - a dirt-poor, chronically ill, freckle-faced teen from Bondi - defied insults and intimidation to ride the waves. The reason: she simply loved to surf. 
 
But when Pauline's determination propelled her onto the pro circuit, her battle for acceptance and equality didn't end there. The endemic sexism of the industry meant prize money for women was a pittance, while sponsors ignored her because she was a lesbian and didn't have the beach babe look.  
 
Despite these challenges, Pauline became the 1993 World Champion and played a key role in bringing greater equality to the sport. This is the inspirational story of a true underdog battler, whose fearlessness and grit broke down the door of surfing's boys' club for the next generation of women.

Tell Me My Story - Challenging...

Dimple D. Dhabalia

"It's time to start helping the helpers, Tell Me My Story shows us the way." — Jonathan Fields, Founder of Good Life Project(R) & bestselling author of SPARKED 
The work of serving others never ends, and it demands a great deal from those who take it on-more than they have to give, if they're not careful. But helping others shouldn't come at the cost of one's own health and well-being. 
And yet, years of putting mission needs before their own, coupled with the impact of a global pandemic, has left many humanitarians across mission-driven fields struggling to acknowledge their pain and serve others at the same time. It's left them languishing, exhausted, stressed out, burned out, traumatized, morally injured, depressed, anxious, and facing a seemingly impossible choice: Them or me? 
Using moments from her own life and twenty-year humanitarian career, Dimple D. Dhabalia invites humanitarians to consider how choosing a path of service may provide powerful opportunities to reveal and heal wounds at the individual and organizational levels, while embracing their humanity through the stories of the people they serve. 
Part memoir and part manifesto, Tell Me My Story is one leader's message of hope and offers a map to healing for those doing humanitarian work. It's also a reminder: This service and the people who do it are crucial to our world, and we must equip, empower, and encourage them to work as the best version of themselves-for themselves, for their loved ones, and for the people they serve. 
"A must-read-not only for those who dedicate their lives to helping others, but for all who have a story in need of healing." — Angela Bailey, Founder & CEO, Angela Bailey and Associates and Former Chief Human Capital Officer for the Department of Homeland Security
