Because brainwashing affects both the world and our observation of the world, we often don’t recognize it while it’s happening—unless we know where to look. As Rebecca Lemov writes in The Instability of Truth, “Brainwashing erases itself.” What we call brainwashing is more common than we think; it is not so much what happens to other people as what can happen to anyone.

아프리카에는 야생말 다리에 붙어 피를 빨아먹는 박쥐가 산다. 다리에 흡혈박쥐가 붙은 야생말은 결국 죽음을 맞는다. 그런데 놀라운 사실은 박쥐가 빨아먹는 피의 양은 미미해 자신보다 몸집이 거대한 말의 건강에 심각한 영향을 줄 수 없다는 것이다. 말을 죽음으로 몰아넣은 원인은 분노다. 아무리 발버둥을 쳐도 떼어낼 수 없는 위치에 붙어 피를 빠는 박쥐를 향한 분노가 말을 죽음으로 몰아넣는다. 이렇게 실제 일어난 일보다는 그와 관련된 심리 반응이 결과의 중요 원인이 되는 경우가 많다는 사실이 점점 밝혀지고 있다. 이 같은 이유로 심리학은 현대에 이르러 재조명을 받았다. 심리학의 쓸모를 최대한 살린 『심리학을 만나 행복해졌다』는 중국에서 출간되자마자 수많은 독자의 관심을 끌어 150만 부 이상이 판매되었다. 수십만 개의 독자 리뷰가 달리는 등 뜨거운 반응을 얻었다.

In Atlas of the Heart, Brown takes us on a journey through 87 of the emotions and experiences that define what it means to be human. As she maps the necessary skills and an actionable framework for meaningful connection, she gives us the language and tools to access a universe of new choices and second chances - a universe where we can share and steward the stories of our bravest and most heartbreaking moments with one another in a way that builds connection.

Walter Lippmann's Public Opinion (1922) argues humans can't fully grasp complex issues. We rely on simplified ideas (stereotypes) and media portrayals ("pseudo-environments") to form opinions.

This book brings together Erich Fromm's basic statements on the application of psychoanalytic theory to social dynamics. At the same time, it offers an image of man consonant with the hopes of radical humanism. The Crisis of Psychoanalysis is a collection of nine brilliant essays. Although his work is deeply rooted in Freudian theory, Fromm further develops Freud's doctrines by including both social and ethical dimensions, and applies his discoveries and insights to address the problems we face in society at large.

Our lives are minefields of misinformation. Stories, statistics and studies lie to us on a daily basis. Not only this but, as Professor Alex Edmans reveals, our brains lie to us too. He argues that we need to acknowledge and understand the role that our own human biases play in interpreting and digesting the information that we consume. It's only when we do, that we can actively resist being manipulated, and make informed decisions that improve our lives.

Columbia Business School professor Sandra Matz reveals in fascinating detail how big data offers insights into the most intimate aspects of our psyches and how these insights empower an external influence over the choices we make. This can be creepy, manipulative, and downright harmful, with scandals like that of British consulting firm Cambridge Analytica being merely the tip of the iceberg.

തൊഴാനെ സംബോധന ചെയ്തുകൊണ്ടഴുതപെട്ട ഈ കുറിപ്പുകളിലെ കഥകള്‍ മിക്കവാറും നാം കേട്ടവയാണ്. എന്നാല്‍ ഈ പുതിയ ആഖ്യാനത്തില്‍ ആ കഥകൾക്കൊരക്കയും പുതിയ കനംവന്നുചേരുകയുംചെയ്യുന്നു സ്നേഹത്തിന്റെയും കാരുണ്യത്തിന്റെയും കരുതലിന്റെയും കനം. --സുഭാഷ് ച്രന്ദന്‍ ജീവിതാനന്ദത്തിന്റെ അടിസ്ഥാന താക്കോലുകളിലൊന്ന് സ്വയം ഗൗരവ മായി എടുക്കാതിരിക്കുക എന്നതാണ്. അവനവനെത്തന്നെ വല ചുറ്റി കെണിയിലാവുന്ന ചിലന്തികളെപ്പോലെ യാണ് വര്‍ത്തമാനകാല നരജീവിതം. വാക്കിന്റെ സൗമ്യവിരൽകൊണ്ട് അത്തരം ചില ചരടുകളെ പൊട്ടിച്ചുകളയാനാണ് ബേബി സാം ശ്രമിക്കുന്നത്.

A Nobel Prize-⁠winning economist shows us why we have to deal in trade-offs when we can’t agree on what’s right and what’s wrong.

To hold the line against racism, we need to know it when we see it. And as the dominant racial group in our society, White people must take up the charge. Racism is more than using racial slurs or overt, hateful speech, and it's more than unintentional slights; it's about an entire system that upholds Whiteness as the preferred standard. Fortunately, detecting it is a skill that can be learned.

Der gefeierte Psychoanalytiker und Philosoph zeigt uns, dass Liebe nicht nur ein Gefühl, sondern eine Kunst ist – erreichbar durch Reife, Übung, Konzentration und Mut. Denn in Fromms Augen ist wahre Liebe das Resultat eines kontinuierlichen inneren Wachstums und einer lebendigen Auseinandersetzung mit den eigenen Werten.

How do you handle jerks—politely, strategically, and without losing your cool? They’re everywhere. The loudmouth at work who dominates every meeting. The sarcastic relative who always has a cutting remark. The impatient driver who honks before the light even turns green. Jerks show up in every corner of life—and too often, they drag us into their chaos. Most people either fight back, wasting energy in pointless battles, or retreat, letting the jerk win by default. Neither works. But what if there was a smarter way?

Deeply revealing and insightful, The Mattering Instinct is a must-listen for those curious about why we seek to matter to ourselves and others—and how this insatiable longing that drives us apart may be the key to finally understanding each other.

A “landmark book” (Robert J. Sternberg, president of the American Psychological Association) by one of the world's preeminent psychologists that proves human behavior is not “hard-wired” but a function of culture."

Seguro que alguna vez te has preguntado por qué reaccionas de cierta manera ante ciertas personas. Por qué parece que hay tipos de gente que te sacan de quicio solo con existir. Por qué te boicoteas justo cuando las cosas van bien. Por qué eliges sistemáticamente parejas que te hacen sufrir. Por qué te da tanto miedo destacar cuando sabes que tienes talento de sobra.

¿Estás cansado de ser manipulado sin darte cuenta? ¿Alguna vez te has alejado de una conversación preguntándote cómo alguien logró entrar en tu mente? ¿Quieres reconocer y usar los disparadores psicológicos que moldean cada decisión que las personas toman? ¿Qué pasaría si te dijera que el mundo ha estado usando los mismos trucos psicológicos durante más de 2,000 años, todos los días, contigo? Cuando entiendes la persuasión a su nivel más profundo, dejas de ser la marioneta. Te conviertes en quien sostiene las cuerdas.

People don't often get much done on their own, according to social psychologists. Everything we think and say is affected by social signals and how we connect with other people. This point of view doesn't say that free choice isn't important; it just shows how people are connected to each other and to communities in ways that aren't always obvious. Studies of persuasion help us understand how people's ideas change, while studies of social identity help us understand issues of belonging and discrimination. You can utilize social psychology for more than simply schoolwork.

Modern life is full of minor but acute dilemmas: we get stuck at a gathering with someone unusually boring and wonder how to move on without causing offence; in the course of introducing one friend to another, we realise that we have forgotten one of the party’s names; we run into an ex while on an early date with a new partner; we spill red wine across a host’s sofa...
