Martha Nussbaum Political Emotions: Why Love Matters for Justice
Nussbaum
stimulates readers with challenging insights on the role of emotion in
political life. Her provocative theory of social change shows how a truly just
society might be realized through the cultivation and studied liberation of
emotions, specifically love. To that end, the book sparkles with Nussbaum’s
characteristic literary analysis, drawing from both Western and South Asian
sources, including a deep reading of public monuments. In one especially
notable passage, Nussbaum artfully interprets Mozart’s The Marriage of Figaro,
revealing it as a musical meditation on the emotionality of revolutionary
politics and feminism. Such chapters are a culmination of her passion for
seeing art and literature as philosophical texts, a theme in her writing that
she profitably continues here. The elegance with which she negotiates this
diverse material deserves special praise, as she expertly takes the reader through
analyses of philosophy, opera, primatology, psychology, and poetry. In contrast
to thinkers like John Rawls, who imagined an already just world, Nussbaum
addresses how to order our society to reach such a world. A plea for
recognizing the power of art, symbolism, and enchantment in public life,
Nussbaum’s cornucopia of ideas effortlessly commands attention and debate.

Effective
Techniques for Manipulating, Persuading, & Influencing People!
All
of us have experienced manipulation in some form or another in our lives. It
can present itself in the form of a commercial on television, a billboard ad on
the street, or a sales person that is trying to convince you to purchase a
product or service. It can commonly be experienced in your social or personal
relationships such as your friend asking you to borrow something, or your
mother convincing you to attend a family reunion.
There
are many different types of manipulative techniques and this psychological
guidebook will spend some time to look at how manipulation could be affecting
you and how to use it in your benefit.

Dark Psychology And Manipulation: How to Stop Being Manipulated, the Secrets and the Art of Reading People. Psychology of Persuasion, of Narcissist and ... Human Behavior. Winning Influence.
Finally you can access the
power of personal influence
The
fascination with Dark Psychology, the study of the art and science behind
manipulation and mind control, has exploded since this clinical research term
first appeared in academic journals back in 2004.
In Dark
Psychology and Manipulation readers will be taken into the minds, the
behaviors, the tactics and the techniques of the Narcissists, Machiavellians,
Psychopaths, and Everyday Sadists living and working among us.
You’ve
worked with some of these people, you’ve worked for them, you’ve dated them,
married them, divorced them, admired them, feared them, but most of all
wondered what it is that makes them do the dark and disturbing things they do.
Whether it’s your sister going through one relationship after another with an abusive, controlling, manipulative boyfriend, first husband, fiancée; or it’s your own experience of having to work for an egotistical, scheming, backstabbing yet somehow wonderfully charismatic supervisor; or it’s your neighbor’s teenage son who seems to enjoy burning ants in the backyard on the weekends
how
dangerous are these people?
Are
they normal?
Is
their behavior forgivable?
Should
we be modeling some of our own ways of doing things—at work, in romance, at the
grocery store—after them?
Not
all of them are crazy.
Some
of them are even wildly successful—in business, in romance, in general.
Are
they certifiable or is their behavior just a little more extreme than mine?
As
the field of Dark Psychology continues to grow, and researchers, clinical
psychologist, social engineers, therapists, and other experts (and survivors)
continue to find out more about what makes these people tick, you’ll find
analyses of the latest studies in Dark Psychology.
Plus,
the book gives readers quick and easy breakdowns of how each dark personality
is different from the other, and how they are similar.
Learn
more about the Narcissist—and how to spot one, how to know when you’re being
worked by one. Find out why Psychopaths have suddenly become role models for
many a CEO and upper management businessperson.
How
did they go from untouchable to the corporate version of James Bond?
Take
a look at the various techniques used by these personalities of the Dark Triad:
manipulation, brainwashing, seduction.
All
of which are really just after two things: power and control.
Do
yourself a favor: educate yourself before others decide how you should be
educated.
Learn
how others have been trying to seduce you, trying to lead you astray, down a
path that they’ve chosen, not that you chose.
Don’t
be the prey. Which doesn’t mean you have to be the predator, either. It just
means you’ll be able to choose.
It
means you won’t be at the mercy of anyone from this world of Dark Psychology.
