Sinossi

In 'The Essential Writings of Jean-Jacques Rousseau,' readers are immersed in the literary world of one of the most influential Enlightenment philosophers. Rousseau's works, including 'Discourse on the Origin and Basis of Inequality Among Men' and 'The Social Contract,' are exemplary of his unique blend of political theory, social commentary, and philosophical insight. Through his eloquent prose and extensive exploration of human nature and society, Rousseau challenges conventional wisdom and offers thought-provoking perspectives on the nature of man and the structure of society. His writing style is characterized by its clarity, passion, and depth, making his works both engaging and intellectually stimulating. This collection serves as an essential introduction to Rousseau's most significant contributions to Western thought. Jean-Jacques Rousseau's personal experiences and observations of society, as well as his deep-rooted beliefs in the innate goodness of human nature, are reflected in his writings. His disillusionment with the prevailing social and political order of his time and his desire for a more just and equitable society propelled him to articulate his revolutionary ideas in 'The Essential Writings of Jean-Jacques Rousseau.' By delving into Rousseau's works, readers can gain valuable insights into the complexities of human nature, the dynamics of power, and the concept of the social contract. This book is recommended to readers interested in political philosophy, Enlightenment thought, and the evolution of modern society.

    This is an introduction to The Tao of Human Interactions. 
    I decided to write this book because of the need for an effective system of managing and enhancing people's ability to communicate. Its applications span business as well as personal interactions. It can be a simple way of assessing the personalities of people around you and enabling you to better interact with them. I've played the role of an employee in middle management as well as upper management. One essential skill for any good manager is communication. It is important to be able to assess the people you are managing and also to be able to effectively deliver the correct messages. It is not only important to deliver the ideas, but it also needs to be done in a way that impacts the audience correctly. An effective manager must also assess and manage the emotional states of the people involved. I have spent a good part of my life working as an employee and in upper management and middle management. I have also consulted management for many different types of organizations in the public as well as the private sector. I have worked in specific industries such as transit, technology, public works, city government, the military, and hospitality. My approach has always been to try to create effective modes of interaction and communication between employees and middle management, as well as between management and upper management. 
    This book is concerned mostly with daily interactions at the employee level. The system and skills taught can be applied to any interaction in the business and personal life. Management systems are often well thought out and well structured, but quite often, they do not lend themselves to the chaotic, on-the-spot timber of human interactions. The Tao of Human Communications is a system rooted in present-moment fluid interactions.

    As a literary agent, Joy Eggerichs Reed sees book proposals that, unfortunately, she writes off after about sixty seconds of skimming. 
    While that may sound harsh, there are specific things she looks for that show her immediately how seriously a writer takes their goals of getting published. 
    Even though the first steps of writing and figuring out how to publish a book can feel daunting, this book will not only give you everything you need for an incredible proposal, but demystify the publishing process, tell you how to market yourself authentically (and enjoyably), and cheer you on with practical next steps as you decide which publishing route is best for you. 
    And, Joy wants to make this whole process FUN. 
    This is an upbeat 30-day guide with easy to follow examples, stories, and funny illustrations (that you're more than welcome to color in because your brain will need a break), as well as insider knowledge about how to catch an agent's eye, how to land your dream endorsement and how to wildly increase your chances of getting a book deal. 
    Non-fiction, memoir, or novel—this book will help authors (especially first-timers) who have questions and feel alone in the writing process. Let Joy be your (slightly aggressive) friend who will encourage you, tell you what to do, and leave you feeling oh-so-confident because of all the progress you've made by day 30. If you let this book guide you, you will close the last page, and involuntarily shout, "WOW, I did that!" 
    You’ll also get to know way more about Joy’s personal life than you probably wanted

    The Nazi party's rise to power in Germany during the 1930s is widely attributed to its leaders' strategic use of propaganda, most notably Adolf Hitler. Propaganda played a significant role in shaping public opinion and manipulating the masses to support the Nazi party's extremist ideologies, ultimately leading to one of the most catastrophic events in human history - World War II. This rise to power was not a sudden occurrence but a gradual process involving an extensive and sophisticated propaganda campaign targeting various aspects of German society. In this book, we will explore how propaganda was used to fuel the Nazi party's rise and examine how it gained support from the German people, including through symbols, slogans, and persuasive rhetoric. The consequences of this propaganda-driven rise to power continue to profoundly impact modern-day politics and how we perceive the power of propaganda in shaping public opinion.
