Book Synopsis Machiavellianism by : Tamás Bereczkei
Download or read book Machiavellianism written by Tamás Bereczkei and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-12-12 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The world abounds with tricksters, swindlers, and impostors. Many of them may well be described with the term Machiavellian. Such individuals disrespect moral principles, deceive their fellow beings, and take advantage of others’ frailty and gullibility. They have a penetrating, rational, and sober mind undisturbed by emotions. At times we cannot help but be enchanted by their talent even though we know they misuse it. Recent studies have revealed that Machiavellians possess a complex set of abilities and motivations. This insightful book examines the complexities of the Machiavellian trait, in relation to attitude, behaviour, and personality. By integrating results and experiences from social, personality, cognitive, and evolutionary psychology, Tamás Bereczkei explores the characteristics of Machiavellianism (such as social intelligence, deception, manipulation, and lack of empathy), and the causes and motives guiding Machiavellian behaviour. The author also demonstrates how Machiavellianism is related to strategic thinking and flexible long-term decisions rather than to a short-term perspective, as previously thought, and explores Machiavellianism in relation to the construct of the Dark Triad. The first comprehensive psychological book on Machiavellianism since Christie and Geis’ pioneering work in 1970, Machiavellianism summarises the most important research findings over the last few decades. This book is fascinating reading for students and researchers of psychology and related courses, as well as professionals dealing with Machiavellians in their work and practice.

The succeeding chapters discuss the results and implications of the Machiavel study, with a particular emphasis on the measure of success of attempts to manipulate others.

Book Synopsis The Machiavellian Moment by : John Greville Agard Pocock
Download or read book The Machiavellian Moment written by John Greville Agard Pocock and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2016-10-04 with total page 666 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1975, The Machiavellian Moment remains a landmark of historical and political thought. Celebrated historian J.G.A. Pocock looks at the consequences for modern historical and social consciousness arising from the ideal of the classical republic revived by Machiavelli and other thinkers of Renaissance Italy. Pocock shows that Machiavelli's prime emphasis was on the moment in which the republic confronts the problem of its own instability in time, which Pocock calls the "Machiavellian moment." After examining this problem in the works of Machiavelli, Guicciardini, and Giannotti, Pocock turns to the revival of republican ideology in Puritan England and in Revolutionary and Federalist America. He argues that the American Revolution can be considered the last great act of civic humanism of the Renaissance and he relates the origins of modern historicism to the clash between civic, Christian, and commercial values in eighteenth-century thought. This Princeton Classics edition of The Machiavellian Moment features a new introduction by Richard Whatmore.

Book Synopsis The Machiavellian's Guide to Insults by : Nick Casanova
Download or read book The Machiavellian's Guide to Insults written by Nick Casanova and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2008-06-23 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Have you ever wanted to lash out at someone but lacked the appropriate putdown? The Machiavellian's Guide to Insults takes a humorous approach to dealing with such annoying personalities as the drama queen, the wealth flaunter, the self-proclaimed brain, the temperamental twit, and the talkaholic. Recommended insults range from the subtle and seemingly unintended to the outright declaration of war. Both have a place in your arsenal. Had Machiavelli written a book on insults, this is the book he would have written. He would have suggested calmly wounding your enemy with a tailor made barb without coming across as if you've been wounded yourself. Often the best putdown is a comment which seems on the surface to be well intentioned. And ham-handed attempts to relate or sympathize can be the most effective ways of underlining your opponent's weaknesses. These are far more humiliating than any angry outburst could ever be. Learn how to eviscerate the proud homeowner, the would-be tough guy, the bully, the boastful parent, the second guesser, and many others. Machiavelli would also have suggested having these insults ready beforehand, since, despite the old clich, revenge tastes best when it is a dish served piping hot.

Book Synopsis Suicide of the West by : James Burnham
Download or read book Suicide of the West written by James Burnham and published by Encounter Books. This book was released on 2014-11-25 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: James Burnham’s 1964 classic, Suicide of the West, remains a startling account on the nature of the modern era. It offers a profound, in depth analysis of what is happening in the world today by putting into focus the intangible, often vague doctrine of American liberalism. It parallels the loosely defined liberal ideology rampant in American government and institutions, with the flow, ebb, growth, climax and the eventual decline and death of both ancient and modern civilizations. Its author maintains that western suicidal tendencies lie not so much in the lack of resources or military power, but through an erosion of intellectual, moral, and spiritual factors abundant in modern western society and the mainstay of liberal psychology. Devastating in its relentless dissection of the liberal syndrome, this book will lead many liberals to painful self-examination, buttress the thinking conservative’s viewpoint, and incite others, no doubt, to infuriation. None can ignore it.

It provides a friendly and engaging guide to developing critical evaluation skills through the use of clear and accessible examples that capture the reader’s interest." Dr Elisa Lewis, Senior Lecturer, London South Bank University “Alex Shepherd offers an accessible forensic filleting of published research articles, with helpful how-to guides showing what questions to ask and (more importantly) what the answers mean.” Gina Rippon, Professor Emeritus of Cognitive Neuroimaging, Author of The Gendered Brain If something is published, does that mean it’s true? Critical Analysis in Experimental Psychology encourages the critical reading and analysis of psychological research reports and shows how design principles and statistics are applied. A.J. Shephard empowers you to read between the lines of any published study and draw your own conclusions. Using synopses of published research articles as examples, the book shows how to work out if summary claims made by authors or the media accurately reflect an experiment’s real findings. Through guided analysis of both quantitative and qualitative real-world research, you will learn to: •Review research articles comprehensively and critically •Understand the rationale, logic, and purpose of an article •Identify the hypotheses (whether stated or unstated) •Describe and assess the suitability of the research methods used •Analyse the implied interpretation of the results, •Become an active – rather than a passive – reader of scientific articles. This book gives new insight into published research articles, helping you feel less like a student and more like a researcher. The critical skills learned will help you to navigate through the confusing science messages we are exposed to through all types of media. Dr A.J. Shepherd has over 20 years of experience teaching Critical Analysis. She is a Reader in Psychology at Birkbeck, University of London, UK and since 2004 she has run the third year Critical Analysis course, which she also designed.
