Psychology of Emotion: Self Discipline by Conscious Emotional Continence

Psychology of Emotion: Self Discipline by Conscious Emotional Continence Hardcover – June, 1971

It has been my intention to write as a psychologist seeking to study the nature of the functioning of my mind without appealing to any discipline other than that of my mind for evidence, without introducing observation from any so-called “non-psychological” source. I word my research “the psychology of physiology” instead of “the physiology of psychology.” I find my psychology is strictly my most comprehensive biological interest, hence its vital process or performance is the ideal subject for study. Since it is exclusively the individual biological functioning of mind with which I am concerned, I have viewed my province of psychology as including investigation of the organic functioning of my mind. Every original investigator eventually must run the awful risk of seeming to lead a school of followers thereby hypostatizing a so-called impersonal “movement.” It is my experience that this unconscious development of everyone devoted to “the movement” invariably results in all of the dire consequences of overlooked individuality in leader and follower alike. In a book scientifically oriented I can take nothing for granted. Least of all can I assume that my reader will have the faintest feeling for the one and only datum making sense of all of it, namely that it is merely about me. Therefore at the very outset I wish to heed this self-evident truth of truths underlying the factuality of all of the positing that follows, namely, that I solely, am the whole of my subject… [From the Author’s Introduction]

Fight Club: A Novel

Fight Club: A Novel Paperback – October 17, 2005

by Chuck Palahniuk

The first rule about fight club is you don’t talk about fight club.

In his debut novel, Chuck Palahniuk showed himself to be his generation’s most visionary satirist. Fight Club‘s estranged narrator leaves his lackluster job when he comes under the thrall of Tyler Durden, an enigmatic young man who holds secret boxing matches in the basement of bars. There two men fight “as long as they have to.” A gloriously original work that exposes what is at the core of our modern world.

However, as per the The Resident @ RT ‘Fight Club’ author Chuck Palahniuk is taking credit for the term “snowflake” that is being used for “liberals” who are seemingly melting down after the 2016 election. He wrote in the book, ” You are not special. You are not a beautiful and unique snowflake.”

What’s NLP? as per Tarek

NLP is a hybrid science that was developed in the late 1960’s and early 1970’s by computer scientist, Richard Bandler, and linguist, John Grinder. They began a study of three therapists with excellent results transforming their clients’ ways of thinking, feeling and behaving. They modelled family therapist Virginia Satir, gestalt therapist Fritz Perls, and hypnotherapist Milton Erickson who legitimised hypnotherapy as a healing treatment modality by the American Medical Association.

As a result they devised a set of specific techniques that deliberately restructure toward positive functioning the brain’s thinking and the body’s behaviours by aligning the conscious with the unconscious mind and body. NLP offers highly refined tools to take charge of every area of life in the most effective way possible to produce results. It enables individuals to pro-actively design their physical and emotional response.

NLP techniques can help you:

Completely eradicate bad habits
Change old, unproductive thought patterns into positive actions
Exchange limiting beliefs for more productive ones
Replace unhealthy behaviours or desires with healthy ones
Motivate self and others to take action on goals
Create congruency within self and others
Increase likelihood of specific future outcomes
Improve learning abilities
Model and incorporate strategies from anyone
Eliminate mental and emotional blockage that prevent fulfilment of desires
Create new responses to old problems
Learn needed lessons from any experience to move on from it
Strengthen self image and charisma
Attract others

And much, much more…

Visual Intelligence: Sharpen Your Perception, Change Your Life

Visual Intelligence: Sharpen Your Perception, Change Your Life Hardcover – May 3, 2016

by Amy E. Herman (Author)

An engrossing guide to seeing – and communicating – more clearly from the groundbreaking course that helps FBI agents, cops, CEOs, ER docs, and others save money, reputations, and lives.

How could looking at Monet’s water lily paintings help save your company millions? How can checking out people’s footwear foil a terrorist attack? How can your choice of adjective win an argument, calm your kid, or catch a thief?

In her celebrated seminar, the Art of Perception, art historian Amy Herman has trained experts from many fields how to perceive and communicate better. By showing people how to look closely at images, she helps them hone their “visual intelligence,” a set of skills we all possess but few of us know how to use properly. She has spent more than a decade teaching doctors to observe patients instead of their charts, helping police officers separate facts from opinions when investigating a crime, and training professionals from the FBI, the State Department, Fortune 500 companies, and the military to recognize the most pertinent and useful information. Her lessons highlight far more than the physical objects you may be missing; they teach you how to recognize the talents, opportunities, and dangers that surround you every day.

Whether you want to be more effective on the job, more empathetic toward your loved ones, or more alert to the trove of possibilities and threats all around us, this book will show you how to see what matters most to you more clearly than ever before.

Exposing Fraud: Skills, Process and Practicalities

Exposing Fraud: Skills, Process and Practicalities (Wiley Corporate F&A) 1st Edition

by Ian Ross (Author)

Beyond the basics—tools for applied fraud management

In Exposing Fraud: Skills, Process, and Practicalities, anti-fraud expert Ian Ross provides both ideas and practical guidelines for applying sound techniques for fraud investigation and detection and related project management. The investigative principles in this book are truly universal and can be applied anywhere in the world to deal with any of the range of fraud types prevalent in today’s business environments. Topics covered include cyber fraud, the psychology of fraud, data analysis techniques, and the role of corporate and international culture in criminal behavior, among many others. Ensure an optimal outcome to fraud investigations by mastering real-world skills, from interviewing and handling evidence to conducting criminal proceedings.

As technologies and fraud techniques become more complex, fraud investigation must increase in complexity as well. However, this does not mean that time-tested strategies for detecting criminals have become obsolete. Instead, it means that a hands-on approach to fraud detection and management is needed more than ever. The book does just that:

Takes a unique practical approach to the business of detecting, understanding, and dealing with fraud of all types
Aids in the development of key skills, including conducting investigations and managing fraud risk
Covers issues related to ethically and efficiently handling impulsive and systemic fraud, plus investigating criminals who may be running multiple scams
Addresses fraud from a global perspective, considering cultural and psychological factors that influence fraudsters

Unlike other fraud investigation books on the market, Exposing Fraud develops the ethical and legal foundation required to apply theory and advice in real-world settings. From the simple to the complex, this book demonstrates the most effective application of anti-fraud techniques.

Presence: Bringing Your Boldest Self to Your Biggest Challenges

Presence: Bringing Your Boldest Self to Your Biggest Challenges Hardcover – December 22, 2015

by Amy Cuddy (Author)

Have you ever left a nerve-racking challenge and immediately wished for a do over? Maybe after a job interview, a performance, or a difficult conversation? The very moments that require us to be genuine and commanding can instead cause us to feel phony and powerless. Too often we approach our lives’ biggest hurdles with dread, execute them with anxiety, and leave them with regret.

By accessing our personal power, we can achieve “presence,” the state in which we stop worrying about the impression we’re making on others and instead adjust the impression we’ve been making on ourselves. As Harvard professor Amy Cuddy’s revolutionary book reveals, we don’t need to embark on a grand spiritual quest or complete an inner transformation to harness the power of presence. Instead, we need to nudge ourselves, moment by moment, by tweaking our body language, behavior, and mind-set in our day-to-day lives.

Amy Cuddy has galvanized tens of millions of viewers around the world with her TED talk about “power poses.” Now she presents the enthralling science underlying these and many other fascinating body-mind effects, and teaches us how to use simple techniques to liberate ourselves from fear in high-pressure moments, perform at our best, and connect with and empower others to do the same.

Brilliantly researched, impassioned, and accessible, Presence is filled with stories of individuals who learned how to flourish during the stressful moments that once terrified them. Every reader will learn how to approach their biggest challenges with confidence instead of dread, and to leave them with satisfaction instead of regret.

Your Body Language Shapes Who You Are | Amy Cuddy | TED Talks

Body language affects how others see us, but it may also change how we see ourselves. Social psychologist Amy Cuddy shows how “power posing” — standing in a posture of confidence, even when we don’t feel confident — can affect testosterone and cortisol levels in the brain, and might even have an impact on our chances for success.
