Summary

In "The Hidden Self," William James delves into the intricacies of human consciousness, exploring the duality between the public personas we project and the private selves we harbor. Employing a contemplative and engaging literary style, James intertwines philosophical inquiry with psychological analysis, inviting readers to reconsider their understanding of identity and selfhood. This work emerges from the broader literary context of the late 19th century, a period rich in psychological exploration, making James's insights particularly relevant as he grapples with the implications of a fragmented self in a rapidly modernizing world. William James, a prominent figure in the realms of psychology and philosophy, was instrumental in introducing pragmatism and functionalism to the American intellectual landscape. His extensive academic background, combined with personal reflections on his own struggles with identity, informed his exploration of the hidden aspects of the self. This dual perspective as both a scholar and a seeker of truth allows readers to appreciate the depth of his inquiry into the inner workings of the mind. "The Hidden Self" is an essential read for anyone seeking to deepen their understanding of the complexities of human identity. James's masterful prose and profound insights will resonate with readers from various disciplines, from psychology to philosophy, offering a thought-provoking journey into the layers of self and the often unseen aspects that shape our lives.

  • The Fallacies of Racism - Understanding How Common Perceptions Uphold White Supremacy 1st Edition - cover

    The Fallacies of Racism -...

    Everyone has an opinion on racism. The vast majority of people would vehemently deny that they or those close to them are "racist," yet many of the most common understandings of racism are highly problematic. "If you mean no harm, then it can't be racist." Yes, it can. "There are anti-discrimination laws now, so racism no longer occurs." Incorrect. "Some of my best friends are Black, so I can't be racist." Not true. 
 
 
  
In this sharp, open-minded, and witty book, sociologist Jennifer Patrice Sims succinctly addresses these problematic perceptions of racism as fallacies. Building on existing academic theories and drawing on her own cross-national research, two decades of teaching, and analyses of contemporary issues, she delves into the most common and insidious fallacies about racism. In revealing them to be rooted in what scholars call an "epistemology of ignorance," she shows how these perceptions justify and uphold white supremacy (inadvertently or otherwise). 
 
 
 
Accessibly written and full of concrete examples, this book will be of great value to anyone who wants to understand the common misunderstandings about racism that frustrate contemporary politics, classrooms, workplaces, and dinner tables.

    It’s time we start looking at career success differently. 
Perhaps you have heard the expression, “I’m at the bottom of the food chain.” This phrase is often used as reference to a person’s lack of power in the workplace or social group. And if you look at power and success in careers, the goal is typically to climb to the top and become a titan of the industry. 
But does the top of the food chain hold all the power? Success? What if I told you that some of the most powerful people, right now, are at the bottom?  
With a nature-based lens focused on careers, this book explores the power of lower-level positions in the workplace. For so long we’ve missed it.  
You may not have “big wins” and all your career aspirations may not become your reality, but that doesn’t mean you are inadequate or that your value is reduced. Even the most seemingly minor actions, can contribute to something greater. 
If you are exhausted from the efforts of trying to reach the top and feel like you failed because others around you have succeed in their careers in ways that you only dream of, take a break, and read this book. I’m not saying it's time to give up on your dreams, but it is time to see yourself for power that you have!
