Imagine how much better your life is going to be when you have unshakable belief in yourself, pure self-confidence! Confidence is not something you are born with; it is a mind-set you are supposed to learn during your formative years. Sadly most of us are not taught to be confident--we are told to conform and follow the rules of others. We are shown how to be passive sheep and not the masters of our destinies.

Our world order is under pressure as never before. From new authoritarian regimes in the US, Turkey and Russia to the imminent breakup of the European Union and a social media awash with intolerance, things look set to fall apart just as abruptly as the Soviet Union did some 30 years ago. How did we get here, and what do we do now? In this searching new exploration of our crisis, Paul Mason argues that at its heart lies an attack on the idea of humanity itself.

In today's digitally driven world, disaster is only a click away. A rogue tweet can bring down a business; an army of trolls can run a celebrity off-line; and virtual harassment might cause real psychological damage.

Author and acclaimed Internet safety expert Sue Scheff unveils all sides of an issue that is only becoming more relevant day.

Do you possess all the qualities required to succeed at work? Do you have what it takes to build fulfilling, gratifying, and rewarding personal relationships? What if you were told there is a superpower that exists within all of us to help us enjoy more satisfying personal and professional relationships? The secret for building solid personal and business relationships is unfortunately not what we learn in educational institutes. It isn't technical expertise or fancy degrees or knowledge. The most crucial factor for success in life is an attribute called emotional intelligence.

Follow a crawling baby around and you’ll see that right from the beginning, nothing excites us more than something new and different. Our unique human brains are biologically primed to engage with and even generate novelty, from our ancestors’ first bow and arrow to the latest tablet computer. This “neophilia” has enabled us to thrive in a world of cataclysmic change, but now, we confront an unprecedented deluge of new things, from products to information, which has quadrupled in the past 30 years and shows no sign of slowing.

Double standards are nothing new. Women deal with them every day. Take the common truism that women who sleep around are sluts while men are studs. Why is it that men grow distinguished and sexily gray as they age while women just get saggy and haggard? Have you ever wondered how a young woman is supposed to both virginal and provocatively enticing at the same time?

Behind the Lies takes listeners deep into the psychology of compulsive liars, exploring not just what they do, but why they do it. Also known as mythomania or pseudologia fantastica, compulsive lying is more than habit — it’s a complex psychological behaviour rooted in insecurity, attention-seeking, fear of rejection, and a need for control. Understanding it matters because compulsive lying affects every corner of life: destroying trust in relationships, undermining workplaces, and even shaping the behaviour of leaders and public figures.

Asian Americans represent the fastest growing ethnic group in the United States, yet few books capture how historical events, immigration experiences, cultural values, and unhelpful generational patterns contribute to this group's thoughts, attitudes, and actions in ways that impact relationships, well-being, and psychological health. In Patterns That Remain, Stacey Diane Arañez Litam empowers listeners to heal from diasporic wounds and become people, partners, and parents who embody abundance mentalities grounded in joy, balance, and gratitude.

Around 250,000 people have had their genomes sequenced, and scientists expect that number to rise to one billion by 2025. Professor Steven J. Heine argues that the first thing we will do on receiving our DNA test results is to misinterpret them completely. Despite breathless (often lightly researched) media coverage about newly discovered "cancer" or "divorce" or "IQ" genes, the prospect of a DNA test forecasting how your life is going to turn out is vanishingly small.

Psychopaths seem to be everywhere. They are on the news and at the movies. People who lack empathy, be they ruthless entrepreneurs or crazed spree killers, are frequently labelled psychopathic; the charming socialiser is just as suspect as the awkward antisocial loner. The conception of what defines a psychopath seems to be a morass of contradictions, the only consistency being the supposition of a lack of empathy.

In The Science of Good and Evil, psychologist and science historian Michael Shermer explores how humans evolved from social primates into moral primates, how and why morality motivates the human animal, and how the foundation of moral principles can be built upon empirical evidence. Along the way he explains the implications of scientific findings for fate and free will, the existence of pure good and pure evil, and the development of early moral sentiments among the first humans.

Vivimos en un mundo donde la influencia se ha convertido en un arma. Desde manipuladores con palabras suaves hasta parejas tóxicas e incluso líderes astutos, las personas utilizan tácticas de psicología oscura para controlar tus decisiones sin que te des cuenta.
