Sinopse

“A splendid study, surely one of the most important that has appeared on the whole matter of power and resistance.”—Natalie Zemon Davis Confrontations between the powerless and powerful are laden with deception—the powerless feign deference and the powerful subtly assert their mastery. Peasants, serfs, untouchables, slaves, laborers, and prisoners are not free to speak their minds in the presence of power. These subordinate groups instead create a secret discourse that represents a critique of power spoken behind the backs of the dominant. At the same time, the powerful also develop a private dialogue about practices and goals of their rule that cannot be openly avowed. In this book, renowned social scientist James C. Scott offers a penetrating discussion both of the public roles played by the powerful and powerless and the mocking, vengeful tone they display off stage—what he terms their public and hidden transcripts. Using examples from the literature, history, and politics of cultures around the world, Scott examines the many guises this interaction has taken throughout history and the tensions and contradictions it reflects.

    When it comes to taking action, making good decisions, and cultivating inner peace, there's a unique factor in life that only you can give to yourself. 
     It's called " solitude." 
     For many people, the idea of being alone triggers fear and discomfort, even for short periods of time. But in this book, we'll explore the mental layers of the human psyche in a simple and practical way, and challenge the notion that loneliness is something to be feared. 
     Inside this book, you'll find a wealth of psychological concepts explained in a straightforward and accessible manner, all focused on the power of solitude and what it means to be alone. We'll provide examples and tips that are easy to incorporate into your daily life, helping you chart a clear course towards achieving your goals. 
     You'll learn how to not only enjoy your moments in solitude, but also how to value them and make the most of every minute. These moments will become the foundation of your character and thoughts, bringing you a sense of calm even during life's most challenging moments. 
     The path of life is different for everyone, and each person is the architect of their own destiny. 
     However, consider this 
     The difference between a person who earns $1 million and another who earns $100 may be just a few hours spent in solitude. The difference between those who achieve their dreams and those who don't may be how they spend their alone time. Even those who have lost everything in life can completely transform their circumstances through productive solitude. 
     So ask yourself, would you pay more attention to the moments you spend alone if you knew they could be the key to unlocking success in all aspects of your life? 
     To truly enjoy and excel in any area of life, we must learn to make the most of our solitary moments and above all understand one of the most important principles in life "The power of being alone"
