Sinopse

In "Totem and Taboo," Sigmund Freud explores the intersection of psychology, anthropology, and sociology to unravel the complexities of human rituals and societal norms. Written in 1913, the book posits that totemism and the taboos associated with it reveal fundamental aspects of the human psyche, revealing connections between primitive societies and the underlying mechanisms of modern civilization. Freud employs a unique blend of psychoanalytic theory and ethnographic analysis, examining the totemic practices found in various cultures and drawing parallels to neuroses in individuals, thereby illuminating the dynamics of collective and individual subconsciousness. Freud, often heralded as the father of psychoanalysis, synthesized various fields of inquiry in his quest to understand the human mind and its development. His experiences and observations, particularly regarding the interplay between culture and psychology, informed his theories on civilization's restraining influence on innate desires. "Totem and Taboo" reflects Freud's ambition to establish a scientific basis for psychoanalysis, deeply rooted in both empirical evidence and speculative reasoning. For readers interested in the psychological foundations of culture, "Totem and Taboo" offers an essential perspective on how collective beliefs shape individual behaviors and neuroses. Freud's groundbreaking ideas encourage introspection into one's own cultural influences, making this book a vital read for anyone seeking to understand the deep-seated connections between our primal instincts and civilized existence.

    What if the key to unlocking your potential and achieving your most ambitious goals lies in mastering one single skill? That skill is willpower—a resource that drives discipline, focus, and the ability to resist distractions. 
    What Is Willpower? 
    Willpower is like a muscle—it gets tired when overused, but it can also be trained and strengthened over time. It’s the driving force behind saying “no” to temptations, “yes” to healthy choices, and staying on track even when the path gets tough. The problem? It’s a finite resource. Every decision you make chips away at your willpower reserves, making it essential to learn how to protect and replenish this vital strength. 
    Why Does It Matter? 
    From overcoming procrastination to managing finances, willpower is at the heart of many challenges we face daily. Lack of self-control can lead to missed opportunities, unhealthy habits, and unfulfilled potential. But here’s the good news: research shows that willpower isn’t fixed. It can be nurtured, expanded, and wielded more effectively through simple, actionable strategies.

    Having sailed with Sir Francis Drake, swashbuckling privateer Rodney Hawkhurst yearns for a galleon of his own with which to plunder the Spanish Main in the name of Queen Elizabeth. Seeking investment from Sir Harry Gillingham, he has a fleeting encounter with an elfin, tomboyish golden-red-haired beauty ? Sir Harry?s youngest daughter Lizbeth ? and is bewitched by her limpid green eyes. Yet it is fair and golden-haired elder sister Phillida with whom he first falls in love... Granted his finances on the condition that Sir Harry?s weak, possibly even traitorous son sails with him in the hope that the mission will make him a man, Rodney embarks on a voyage of blood, honour and glory in which he gains great riches but loses his heart, not once, but twice. The risks are great but so are the rewards: wealth beyond compare and, as Rodney finally discovers, a greater, deeper, more passionate love than he ever imagined possible.

    Republicans who live closer to the U.S.-Mexico border are less likely to support constructing a wall than those who live farther away. After a mass shooting, gun sales and permit applications skyrocket in nearby communities. Experiencing an extreme weather event like a hurricane or flood can encourage someone to attribute climate change to human activity. Why do we react so differently to faraway events and ones that take place on our doorsteps, and what does this reveal about our political landscape? 
     
    Proximity Politics is an examination of the role of distance in shaping attitudes, behaviors, and understandings of the world. Jeronimo Cortina documents the crucial ways space and place influence public opinion. He demonstrates that the closer someone is to an event, social group, or policy, the likelier they are to have first-hand, specific, grounded knowledge of the subject. Conversely, distance leads to detachment, making it more likely that decontextualized or unreliable information and individual or group biases will prevail. Considering a range of case studies, Cortina unravels how spatial, emotional, temporal, social, and cultural distances affect public opinion. Bringing together quantitative and qualitative data, Proximity Politics shows that even in today's interconnected world, we are still profoundly influenced by what happens next door.
