Summary

A collection of cowboy quotes and anecdotes that capture the grit, wit, and homespun wisdom of the American frontier. 
 
From real, larger-than-life showmen like Buffalo Bill to silver-screen gunslingers like John Wayne, the cowboy has become an international symbol of honor, adventure, valor, daring, and courage. The era of the cowboy lasted from roughly just before the Civil War to the turn of the century, but it created some of the most legendary names of all time: Jesse James, Wyatt Earp, Wild Bill Hickok, and Pat Garrett, just to name a few. And although the days of duels and showdowns are over, the wisdom and values of those times live on. 
 
The Little Red Book of Cowboy Wisdom offers the lessons learned and taught by the men of an earlier, simpler era. This book is filled with some of the greatest and most lively quotations, sayings, and anecdotes ever to come out of the American West.
Available since: 10/01/2013.
Print length: 224 pages.

    Exert Your Force of Influence!“Do you have what it takes to be a great influencer and leader?”What happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object? In our case, the answer is relatively simple: such catalytic effect brews a solidly-grounded leader with powerful influence over others.Now you might be wondering how you can stir a similar concoction to bring about your own influential leadership. Is that possible, even if you don’t have all the right ingredients for the fine making of a true leader or influencer? What about if you have never been a people’s person and are, by nature, shy and introverted?Regardless of who you are, there is no one correct way of how you should lead and influence. Yes, there are benchmark guidelines for doing so, but none are better or more effective over the others because they depend on the individual and the situation.The ultimate role of any leader is to motivate (not manipulate) people to happily follow, pursue, and accomplish a shared common goal. After all, what is a leader without their loyal followers? Anybody can gain leadership and wield influence over their subjects by having the right self-guidance.“Tactical Influence” offers you the practical approach to increasing your leadership and the different ways of influencing to be able to...* Make others do what you desire using “seven different types of influence.”* Master self-control over your thoughts for better decisions and behaviors.* Harness the most outstanding traits that you didn’t know you possess.* Become an influential authority to effortlessly influence the masses.* And more to come.The goal of “Tactical Influence” is to make anybody an influential leader - by giving you options to apply what suit your personality and preference.So back to our first unanswered question: “Do you have what it takes to be a great influencer and leader?” We think you do - congratulations on being recruited as a tactical influencer!

    “[A] groundbreaking study combining psychoanalytical and anthropological methods to analyse the impact of industrialization on ‘peasants.’” —Booknews The renowned psychoanalyst Erich Fromm analyzed more than just general society and societal processes. Together with Michael Maccoby, he completed a study of Mexican villagers to empirically illustrate how historical, economic, and social requirements determine behavior.Social Character in a Mexican Village does much more than introduce a new approach to the analysis of social phenomena. It throws new light on one of the world’s most pressing problems, the impact of the industrialized world on the traditional character of the laboring class. Unanimously, the book is an outstanding introduction to Fromm’s concept of social character. “Fromm and Maccoby have written a study of crucial importance.” —Richard J. Barnet, Institute for Policy Studies
