Psychopathology of Everyday Life - Enriched edition Why We Forget Words and Make Errors

Siegmund Freud

Sinopse

In "Psychopathology of Everyday Life," Sigmund Freud meticulously examines the seemingly trivial mistakes and slips of the tongue that permeate daily interactions. Establishing a pioneering framework, Freud delves into the unconscious mind, unraveling the intricate connections between our repressed desires and the mundane mishaps that punctuate human existence. His literary style combines anecdotal evidence with crisp analysis, marking a seminal contribution to psychoanalytic theory and establishing a context wherein the ordinary becomes a portal to understanding the psyche's deeper mechanisms. This work is not merely an exploration of neuroses; it is an invitation into the inner workings of human thought and behavior, revealing a hidden world shaped by unacknowledged motives and conflicted emotions. Freud, an Austrian neurologist and the father of psychoanalysis, was driven by a profound curiosity about the workings of the mind and the human condition. His extensive clinical experience, coupled with an interest in literature and philosophy, significantly influenced his approach to psychology. Through his investigations, Freud sought to illuminate the complexities of human thought, making "Psychopathology of Everyday Life" not only a personal exploration of his insights but also a foundational text that challenges traditional perceptions of rational behavior. This book is recommended for anyone interested in the depths of human psychology, as it offers profound insights into the seemingly trivial aspects of daily life. Freud's engaging style and profound revelations enrich our understanding of human fallibility, making this a vital read for psychologists, literary scholars, and anyone curious about the complexities of the mind.

The Moral Circle - Who Matters...

Jeff Sebo

Today, human exceptionalism is the norm. Despite occasional nods to animal welfare, we prioritize humanity, often neglecting the welfare of a vast number of beings. As a result, we use hundreds of billions of vertebrates and trillions of invertebrates every year for a variety of purposes, often unnecessarily. We also plan to use animals, AI systems, and other nonhumans at even higher levels in the future. Yet as the dominant species, humanity has a responsibility to ask: Which nonhumans matter, how much do they matter, and what do we owe them in a world reshaped by human activity and technology? 
 
 
 
In The Moral Circle, philosopher Jeff Sebo challenges us to include all potentially significant beings in our moral community, with transformative implications for our lives and societies. 
 
 
 
This book explores provocative case studies such as lawsuits over captive elephants and debates over factory-farmed insects, and compels us to consider future ethical quandaries, such as whether to send microbes to new planets, and whether to create virtual worlds filled with digital minds. Taking an expansive view of human responsibility, Sebo argues that building a positive future requires the shedding of human exceptionalism and radically rethinking our place in the world.

Republic of Dreams - Ordinary...

Nicole F. Watts

A gripping political history of Kurdish Iraq told through the extraordinary rags-to-riches story of a childhood refugee. Reviewers call it "beautifully written," "riveting," and "innovative." 
In the Iran-Iraq war of the 1980s, Iraqi president Saddam Hussein used chemical weapons against his own people, the Iraqi Kurds. Five thousand people died in what became known as the Halabja Massacre, one of the worst chemical attacks against civilians in history. Nicole F. Watts, a former journalist and now professor of political science, has spent over a decade researching the struggles of the Kurdish people in Iraq, and in vivid, lyrical prose, she tells their story through the eyes of Peshawa, a young Muslim Kurd whose family barely survived the bombing and then fled for their lives. Republic of Dreams is a riveting portrait of Iraqi Kurdistan as its people weather Hussein’s genocidal campaign against the Kurds and the US invasion of Iraq -- only to face internal struggles between pro-democracy activists and political elites determined to hang onto power.  
Throughout the book, the thread of Peshawa’s story immerses readers in the everyday and extraordinary world of Iraqi Kurds between the late 1980s and 2022, exploring the meaning of home and dislocation in the wake of war and genocide. Based on over a hundred in-depth interviews with Iraqi Kurdish activists, journalists, elected officials, and community organizers, and hundreds of hours of conversations with Peshawa and his family, Republic of Dreams brings to vivid life the story of modern Kurdistan, and the Kurdish national dream to have their own homeland.

Shame Guilt and the Body

Jim Colajuta

Shame is a powerful self-conscious emotion that arises from being perceived as imperfect, inferior, insufficient, or weak. External shame is a socially contextualized feeling defined as the uneasy belief that others see one's own inner self and exterior physical traits as undesirable, leading to others ignoring, criticizing, or rejecting one.Whatever we are doing, we are certainly doing it with our bodies. We rely on our bodies from the minute we wake up, whether consciously or unconsciously. When we glance in the mirror, we may notice changes in our bodies, and even tiny alterations can impact how we feel about ourselves. The image we have of our bodies impacts how we feel our bodies in daily life.Shame can be found in the bedroom, at the beach, in the doctor's office, and in the therapist's office. Shame can be seen in the mirror and on camera. It has many consequences, from low self-esteem to addiction, from rare medical attention to suicide. Shame is a health and wellness issue and a community and family issue that is both deeply personal and publicly political.
