    Dark Psychology: How to Protect Yourself from Manipulation Techniques and Dark Psychology, Recognize and Control Emotional Manipulation , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 63min
    Throughout our daily life, manipulation has always been received with pure disgust, utter contempt, and forgotten hatred by both the public and the individuals who have had it utilized on them. Anybody who isn't fluent in picking up vocal and body language will always be the main target for manipulation.These reactions are rightfully warranted, and people who abuse such a thing should be disregarded. However, in the words of Sun Tzu, "To know your enemy, you must become your enemy". Your manipulator will always have a hard time getting control of you if you can spot them out quickly. This audiobook will enhance your mind's keenness to not only spot these kinds of behaviors but also see who are most susceptible to enact on them and how to do them yourself.  The information in this book is backed with factual evidence and scenario, the various forms of manipulation, ways to use counter-tactics against them, the types of people who could potentially have serious mental problems (such as narcissists and borderlines, associated with these behaviors), how far successful manipulation can take you, and the great leaders who utilized it, and how manipulation is used by salespeople.Why do people manipulate others? Cited by the words of renowned psychologist Carl Jung: "The ability or the want to manipulate can sometimes stem either from the dissonance of what ego wants and what the self needs or from what the shadow dictates to feed its unsensational hunger".This book will help you engage in most activities with manipulative people, to the point where they may not notice you're playing them at the same game in a way that can help you avoid damage accrued by them. Most of the tactics focused here have to do with identifying manipulative tactics.See, knowledge is power, and you must learn what manipulative behavior looks like and how it functions. When you do, you are better prepared and suited to defend yourself against it. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: John Smith.

    Quit Porn and Get Rich: The Unspoken Rule of Successful People , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 335min
    Many situations we face require a particular predisposition and specific behavior. We often can’t behave properly, not only because of a lack of awareness, but also because of limitations posed by our bodies. It is very interesting how much depends on the well-being and physical fitness of your body. Unfortunately, many people don’t know much about the processes that drive it. I will do my best to make sure that in this book you learn about important issues related to your physical well-being and how to use them in practice.Authorities on the subject:"Any failure to appreciate the impact of sexual arousal on one’s own behavior is likely to lead to inadequate measures to avoid such situations." (Professor Dan Ariely)"So strong and impelling is the desire for sexual contact that men freely run the risk of life and reputation to indulge it. When harnessed, and redirected along other lines, this motivating force maintains all of its attributes of keenness of imagination, courage, etc., which may be used as powerful creative forces in literature, art, or in any other profession or calling, including, of course, the accumulation of riches." (Napoleon Hill)"Willpower is what separates us from the animals. It's the capacity to restrain our impulses, resist temptation - do what's right and good for us in the long run, not what we want to do right now. It's central, in fact, to civilization." (Professor Roy F. Baumeister)“This book [Quit Porn and Get Rich] is needed and should prove very interesting to a lot of men especially." (Mary Sharpe, CEO of The Reward Foundation)This is not yet another motivational book, which bookstore shelves are lined with, providing nothing but a temporary boost to your mood. This book describes the real impact of eroticism and pornography on your performance in everyday life. It also explains how overcoming these habits can vastly increase the chances of success in many areas. Your li ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Chad Loomis.

    An Essay Concerning Human Understanding , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1820min
    John Locke and his works - particularly An Essay Concerning Human Understanding - are regularly and rightly presented as foundations for the Age of Enlightenment. His primary epistemological message - that the mind at birth is a blank sheet waiting to be filled by the experiences of the senses - complemented his primary political message: that human beings are free and equal and have the right to envision, create and direct the governments that rule them and the societies within which they live. In these respects, one might think of Locke (1632-1704) as preparing the way for the 18th century, though An Essay Concerning Human Understanding dates from 1690. In the essay he remarks that he was ‘employed as an under-labourer in clearing the ground a little, and removing some of the rubbish that lies in the way to knowledge’. Everywhere, Locke’s 18th-century readers included learned philosophers, educators, historians and political thinkers but also local community and political leaders, students and many others eager to take advantage of the expanding world of print culture that was a central part of the Enlightenment. Today, Locke remains an accessible author whose essay can still be listened to with pleasure by an engaged public around the world. Some will listen to his work to know more about the beginnings of the modern era; others will seek arguments to be used in present-day debates. This recording presents An Essay unabridged. It is prefaced by an informative introduction (written for the Wordsworth Edition) by Mark G. Spencer, who explains: ‘The starting point for much of Locke’s philosophy was his keenness to explore how it was that humans arrived at their knowledge of the world. What do humans know? How do they know what they know?’ Or, as Locke himself puts it in his opening section, ‘Epistle to the Reader’, his purpose was to 'examine our own abilities, and see what objects our understandings were, or were not, fi ungekürzt.
