  Win and Beat Manipulators at Their Own GamesA game can be defined as “an activity that has rules for winning and losing.” Contrarily, another definition of it is “to use those rules of an activity to get what you want, in a way that is dishonest.” Whether you want to admit it, you are already playing a game called “life,” and in it there are those who live by the latter definition - willing to cheat the game via manipulation.What is manipulation? It’s the controlling of an individual through misleading means to get something that these manipulators want, whether money, power, relationship, or sex.Many people are victims of others’ manipulative behaviors without realizing it, including you. Think about those people from your life ranging from families and friends to acquaintances and strangers you’ve met on the street. Were there times when you had a gut-wrenching feeling that something was wrong, and it turned out to be they were manipulating you? How did it make you feel? Confused? Angry?

  “My life would be so much better if they weren’t in it.” If you find yourself thinking this a lot, chances are you’re dealing with a particularly difficult person who has made it their life’s mission to bother you. While you’d think that getting rid of that one person will solve all your problems, you’ll most likely encounter someone else just like them sometime in the future.  
  Difficult people are everywhere, and there’s no escaping them. Thinking that you can get rid of people you dislike is just wishful thinking. After all, can you really get rid of your boss or your in-laws? 
  Instead of avoiding them or cutting them out of your life, changing your approach to dealing with difficult people is the correct way to go about this problem. However, this book doesn’t guarantee that you’ll never have a problem with a difficult person again. On the contrary, life's problems, arguments, and disputes are quite inevitable. You’re bound to come across people who disagree with you and have no room for personal growth. At this point, instead of getting frustrated, you should opt for healthy ways to deal with such people, which is what this book is all about.

  In this lecture Robert Anton Wilson speaks of how we think we all know who we are. You are living in your own reality that you are creating. Everybody has a vision of themselves that they have created. Where in relationships the other person has an entirely different vision of you are as a person. Strangers see you completely different from how you view yourself. Which is the real you? Certainly not the you that you know. Our knowledge of ourselves is usually tremendously delusional and most people don't actually know the real them.

  Putin's Russia - Life in a...

  Anna Politkovskaya

  A searing portrait of a country in disarray and of the man at its helm, from "the bravest of Russian journalists" (The New York Times)Hailed as "a lone voice crying out in a moral wilderness" (New Statesman), Anna Politkovskaya made her name with her fearless reporting on the war in Chechnya. Here, she turned her steely gaze on the multiple threats to Russian stability, among them Vladimir Putin himself.Rich with characters and poignant accounts, Putin's Russia depicts a far-reaching state of decay. Politkovskaya describes an army in which soldiers die from malnutrition, parents must pay bribes to recover their dead sons' bodies, and conscripts are even hired out as slaves. She exposes rampant corruption in business, government, and the judiciary, where everything from store permits to bus routes to court appointments is for sale. And she offers a scathing condemnation of the war in Chechnya, where kidnappings, extra-judicial killings, rape, and torture beget terrorism rather than fighting it. Finally, Politkovskaya denounces both Putin, for stifling civil liberties as he pushes the country back to a Soviet-style dictatorship, and the West, for its unqualified embrace of the Russian leader.Sounding an urgent alarm, Putin's Russia is a gripping portrayal of a country in crisis and the testament of a great and intrepid reporter, who received death threats and survived assassination attempts for her scathing criticism of the Kremlin. Tragically, on October 7, 2006, Politkovskaya was shot and found dead in an elevator in her Moscow apartment building. After several years of investigations, five men were imprisoned for her murder.
