Sinossi

Face Saving Methods explores the universal human need to maintain dignity and avoid shame in social interactions, even at personal cost. It delves into the psychological and behavioral strategies cultures worldwide use to manage "face"—the public image we present. Understanding these strategies is vital for effective cross-cultural communication, as misunderstandings can lead to tensions in diplomacy, business failures, and personal conflicts. 

 
For example, the book highlights how indirect communication can be a face-saving tactic in some cultures, while directness is valued in others. The book draws from psychology, sociology, and anthropology to provide a cross-cultural perspective on face management. It examines how concepts of honor and shame have evolved historically while using social psychology to uncover biases that influence perceptions of face threats. 

 
The book progresses by first introducing core concepts of face and potential threats, then analyzes diverse face-saving strategies across cultures, illustrated with real-world examples. It offers a framework for understanding the psychological mechanisms driving cultural differences, making it valuable for anyone seeking to navigate cross-cultural interactions with greater confidence.

Alfred Hitchcock - A Life from...

Hourly History

Alfred Hitchcock’s work is legendary, and although he himself was known as a rather quiet and subdued figure in public, those who knew him privately saw a fiery disposition and unbridled passion lurking just beneath the surface of his placid exterior. Films such as Rebecca, Vertigo, Psycho, and The Birds sky-rocketed him to fame and have since led many to hail him as the greatest director of all time.
 
Throughout his career, Hitchcock was always sure to deliver thrilling suspense and twist endings while delving into subject matters few were willing to explore. At the same time, his own personality and dark humor became a staple in popular culture through his film trailers, interviews, and the popular TV show Alfred Hitchcock Presents. This book explores both the films and the life of the “Master of Suspense”—Alfred Hitchcock.

Capitalism and Crises - How to...

Colin Mayer

The world is encountering multiple crises—climate, droughts, floods, energy, food, and pandemics, to name a few. We have a problem, this is the solution. 
 
 
 
Capitalism and Crises is about how capitalism can fix them—how it can solve not cause them. The reason why it has caused them is that we have misconceived the nature of our capitalist system. We have failed to understand the key institution at the heart of it—business—and as a result we have allowed it to cause as well as solve problems. This book describes why this has happened and what needs to change to address it. 
 
 
 
Drawing on history, philosophy, psychology, and biology as well economics, law, and finance, Mayer describes what has gone wrong, what needs to change, and how to fix it. He sets out the big challenges that capitalism must address and how it should set about doing that, and discusses how financial institutions should be at the heart of this, and how the public sector can work with the private on a common purpose of solving problems and creating shared prosperity. Capitalism and Crises provides an inspiring and motivational roadmap of how we as practitioners, policymakers, consumers, employees, communities, students, and citizens of the world can together tackle the challenges of the twenty-first century—to flourish and survive.
