Synopsis

Absurd Apologies examines why some public apologies, intended for crisis management and effective communication, backfire spectacularly, turning transgression into full-blown outrage. From political apologies to business management blunders, the book dissects what makes an apology fail, revealing that insincerity or deflection can be worse than silence. It highlights how societal norms and social media have reshaped accountability, underscoring that a mismanaged apology inflicts lasting damage on reputation and trust.

 
The book offers a framework for understanding the psychology of apologies and public perception, emphasizing that aligning words with tangible actions is vital. It explores how the language of denial and the timing of delivery impact an apology's reception. Through case studies and analysis of public statements, Absurd Apologies demonstrates that poorly executed apologies intensify negative perceptions and erode ethical leadership.

 
Starting with the core elements of an effective apology, such as acknowledging responsibility and expressing remorse, the book progresses through high-profile failures, identifying specific missteps. It provides practical guidelines for crafting authentic apologies, emphasizing proactive communication strategies. This approach allows readers to understand the nuances of sincere apologies versus absurd apologies, making it a valuable resource for leaders and communicators.

Designed to Fail - How Modern...

Manuel Alessandro Collazo

What if the systems we rely on don’t just fail to solve societal problems, but are designed to perpetuate them? If the very things that make life meaningful—well-being, human connection, and stability—are sacrificed to uphold fragile economic structures, is life within these systems truly worth living? When health declines, relationships fracture, and communities dissolve, what remains?
Uncovering the hidden mechanics of the crisis economy, this book reveals how manufactured crises fuel economic growth, turning fear, division, and instability into the most valuable commodities. It explores how industries sustain themselves not by solving problems, but by ensuring they never truly disappear. From the processed food industry to digital isolation, media-driven polarization, and pharmaceutical dependence, systemic instability isn’t a flaw—it’s a feature of the modern economic model.
Beyond exposing the problem, this book asks whether an alternative is possible. Can ethical industry scale without being consumed by the system it seeks to challenge? How can modern technologies like AI and blockchain be harnessed to ensure integrity? Can individuals reclaim autonomy in a world designed to keep them in a perpetual state of anger and uncertainty? And if ethical industry is achievable, can it meaningfully reduce the suffering embedded in the systems that sustain it, or is profit through human hardship an unavoidable reality?
This book doesn’t just expose these systems—it challenges the individual to look within, reclaim their agency, and recognize their ability to chip away at the structures of suffering, generating small but powerful ripples of positive change that may one day shape a brighter future.
For those seeking to understand the quiet, systemic degeneration of modern societies, this book is your starting point.
