This audiobook narrated by Jennifer Woodward explains why acknowledging diverse eco-social relationships can help us overcome the political polarization that undermines our ability to protect the environment.

After receiving a doctorate in medicine, Le Bon travelled in Europe, North Africa, and Asia and wrote several books on anthropology and archaeology. His interests later shifted to natural science and social psychology. Gustave Le Bon is best known for his seminal work Crowd Psychology where he describes the psychological effects in various group settings. In Psychology of Peoples written in 1894 he utilizes his anthropological knowledge and cross-references it with social psychology.

Tribalism is one of the most complex and ancient evolutionary forces; it gave us the capacity for cooperation and competition, and allowed us to navigate increasingly complex social landscapes. It is so powerful that it can predict our behavior even better than race, class, gender, or religion. But in our vast modern world, has this blessing become a curse? Our Tribal Future explores a central paradox of our species: how altruism, community, kindness, and genocide are all driven by the same core adaptation.

Georg Simmel (1858 - 1918), war Philosoph und Soziologe. Sein Essay über die "Psychologie des Geldes" war bahnbrechend - weil wissenschaftlich und zugleich allgemeinverständlich! Ein faszinierendes, zeitloses Werk.

Nurturing Our Humanity offers a new perspective on our personal and social options in today's world, showing how we can build societies that support our great human capacities for consciousness, caring, and creativity. It brings together findings—largely overlooked—from the natural and social sciences debunking the popular idea that we are hard-wired for selfishness, war, rape, and greed. Its groundbreaking new approach reveals connections between disturbing trends like climate change denial and regressions to strongman rule.

Evolving from the premise that customers have always behaved more like cats than Pavlov's dogs, Waiting for Your Cat to Bark? examines how emerging media have undermined the effectiveness of prevailing mass marketing models. At the same time, emerging media have created an unprecedented opportunity for businesses to redefine how they communicate with customers by leveraging the power of increasingly interconnected media channels.

Social psychologist and Professor at the Stanford Graduate School of Business Brian Lowery argues for the radical idea that the “self” as we know it, does not exist. The self—that “voice in your head”—is a social construct, created in our relationships and social interactions. We are unique because our individual pattern of relationships is unique. We change because our relationships change. Your self isn’t just you, it’s all around you.

As heard in a 2018 episode of The Hidden Brain, the tall poppy syndrome is a human condition that has been present in every society from the beginning of time. It explains why we seek out equality and justify our actions by cutting others down. With over 600 citations, The Tall Poppy Syndrome: The Joy of Cutting Others Down is the most comprehensive audiobook on the subject. Doug Garland has been studying the phenomenon for over 10 years after he experienced it firsthand in his own career.

Der Spiegel, den Meinhard Miegel hier der deutschen Gesellschaft vorhält, ist kein schmeichelnder. Schonungslos nimmt sich Deutschlands unbequemster Soziologe hier den Mythos vom fleißigen und strebsamen Deutschen vor und entlarvt ihn als Selbslüge. Mit einem analytischen Blick auf die Bereiche Demografie, Sozialstaat, Wirtschaft und Beschäftigung benennt Miegel die größten Probleme Deutschlands, von Überalterung bis Innovationsmangel. Viele der Probleme seien schon seit langem bekannt, doch würden die meisten lieber ihre Augen davor verschließen.

Gegory Bateson berichtete einmal von einer Patientin mit leichter Schizophrenie, die dem Arzt wiederholt versicherte, sie könne nicht "Nein" sagen. Nach einer Therapiestunde erteilte er ihr den Auftrag, täglich mindestens einmal eine Anforderung an sie mit "Nein" abzuschlagen. Ihre spontane Antwort lautete: "Nein, das kann ich nicht!" Die Kunst des negativen Denkens besteht zumeist darin, Abstand zu gewinnen zu den Unmöglichkeitsforderungen, die unsere Gesellschaft beständig an uns heranträgt.

De esos y otros tópicos nos habla en sus libros este polémico pero muy vigente filósofo y sociólogo francés, uno de los intelectuales más relevantes de la Francia contemporánea. Para acercarnos de a poco a su pensamiento, hemos resumido lo esencial de los siguientes textos: La Felicidad Paradójica (Ensayo Sobre la Sociedad de Hiperconsumo), Capítulo 4; El Imperio de Lo Efímero, Capítulos 4 y 5; Espacio Privado y Espacio Público en la Era Posmoderna; Espacio Privado y la Revolución de la Autonomía.

El francés Gustave Le Bon (1841-1931) es considerado uno de los fundadores de la psicología social. Introdujo un tema importante como la psicología del comportamiento colectivo. Le Bon desarrolló sus ideas y puntos de vista durante numerosos viajes a diferentes pueblos de África y Asia. En su obra principal "Psicología de las masas" de 1895, describe el cambio en el comportamiento del individuo que resulta de pertenecer a un grupo más grande de personas, una masa. Este audiolibro está basado en la traducción al español de 1921 de J. M. Navarro de Palencia.

La inquietante tendencia de la sociedad moderna a convertir a las personas, no sólo en sujetos sino especialmente en objetos de consumo, está en el centro de este trabajo del consagrado sociólogo Zygmunt Bauman, autor entre otros éxitos de Modernidad líquida. En los capítulos aquí resumidos, se analizan las causas y las consecuencias de aquel fenómeno, que parece permear cada uno de los poros de la sociedad capitalista contemporánea a escala global.

The traditional office was probably doomed anyway. Then a global shutdown changed everything we thought we knew about work, including where and when it needed to take place. Automation and the Fourth Industrial Revolution have accelerated, and perhaps as much as one third of the world’s permanent workforce will soon become remote. In The Nowhere Office, Julia Hobsbawm offers a strategic and practical guide to navigating this pivotal moment in the history of work and provides lessons for how both employees and employers can adapt.

The five words come together as two phrases: “I believe” and “In my opinion”. What follows is an archipelago of ideas, pushed up out of the sea of knowledge, by musings born of 75 years of living. I anticipate that many, like mariners of old, will pass by at a distance, cautious of hidden perils. But I hope that some may, like Charles Darwin or Galileo Galilea, pause and ponder.

What do we see when we watch reality television? Sociologist and TV lover Danielle J. Lindemann takes a long, hard look in the “funhouse mirror” of this genre, from countless rose ceremonies on The Bachelor to the White House and more (so much more!). Beginning with the first episodes of The Real World, reality TV has not only remade our entertainment and cultural landscape—it also uniquely refracts our everyday experiences and social topography.

You've seen it - on television, social media, at work, and even in your personal life. We're in the midst of a cold civil war, and the tension is mounting. We've lost friends and damaged relationships over opposing political views. And many of us now struggle with anxiety, anger, media addiction, or depression. The Second Civil War is a guidebook for every American troubled by our growing national divide, with meaningful tools and practical strategies you can implement to end political bigotry, repair broken relationships, recognize misinformation, and resist fear mongering

Boomers are narcissists. Millennials are spoiled. Gen Zers are lazy. We assume people born around the same time have basically the same values. It makes for good headlines, but is it true? Bobby Duffy has spent years studying generational distinctions. In this book, he argues that our generational identities are not fixed but fluid, reforming throughout our lives.

Ett av samhällets största problem är missbruk. Idag vet vi betydligt mer om hur ett urspårat missbruk påverkar en människas hjärna, men vad är det egentligen som leder fram till ett missbruk? Och finns det sätt att motverka att någon fastnar i träsk av droger och alkohol? I djupa intervjuer med missbrukare och forskare utformar vetenskapsjournalisten Miki Agerberg missbrukets dynamik – och vad för eventuella lösningar det finns för människor och anhöriga som tvingas leva med det dagligen.
