Psychopathology of Everyday Life

Sigmund Freud

Summary

During the year 1898 I published a short essay On the Psychic Mechanism of Forgetfulness. I shall now repeat its contents and take it as a starting-point for further discussion. I have there undertaken a psychologic analysis of a common case of temporary forgetfulness of proper names, and from a pregnant example of my own observation I have reached the conclusion that this frequent and practically unimportant occurrence of a failure of a psychic function—of memory—admits an explanation which goes beyond the customary utilization of this phenomenon.
If an average psychologist should be asked to explain how it happens that we often fail to recall a name which we are sure we know, he would probably content himself with the answer that proper names are more apt to be forgotten than any other content of memory. He might give plausible reasons for this “forgetting preference” for proper names, but he would not assume any deep determinant for the process.

Lies My Liberal Teacher Told Me...

Wilfred Reilly

A college professor debunks the myths that have infiltrated America's school curricula. 
In 1995, James W. Loewen penned the classic work of criticism Lies My Teacher Told Me, a left-leaning corrective that addressed much of what was sanitized and omitted from American history books. 
But in the decades that followed, false leftist narratives—as wrong as those they supplanted—have come to dominate American academia and education. Now, in the same spirit but updated for 2024, Wilfred Reilly demolishes the scholastic myths propagated by the left, uncovers fresh angles on “established” events, and turns what we think we know about history upside down. Among the popular lies he debunks:“The ‘Red Scare’ was a moral panic that caught no commies”“Native Americans were peaceful people who spent all day dancing”“European colonialism was—empirically—a no-good, terrible, very bad thing”“The racist ‘Southern Strategy’ turned the South Republican”“The Vietnam War was unpopular and pointless” 
 
Lies My Liberal Teacher Told Me sets the record straight on many of these myths, explaining that there actually were communists in Hollywood; that many Native American tribes were cannibals, owned slaves and made them march the Trail of Tears with them; and that history, while almost always bad for Black Americans, was much worse for all of us than we tend to think it was.  
Smart, irreverent, and deeply researched, Lies My Liberal Teacher Told Me will revolutionize your understanding of history and reveal a new and refreshing way to teach and think about the past.

Summary: The Whole-Brain Child -...

Brooks Bryant

DISCLAIMER: THIS IS NOT THE OFFICIAL BOOK. 
This is a summary, & it does not accompany the official 
"The Whole-Brain Child" by Daniel J. Siegel and Tina Payne Bryson offers a groundbreaking approach to parenting by presenting twelve essential strategies for nurturing healthy brain development in children. This book simplifies the latest scientific insights into how a child's brain is wired and matures. It explains that the "upstairs brain," responsible for decision-making and emotional balance, continues developing until the mid-twenties. In young children, emotions often dominate over logic, leading to tantrums and conflicts. 
Through practical advice and age-appropriate strategies, the authors demonstrate how parents can use these findings to handle everyday challenges effectively. "The Whole-Brain Child" empowers parents to transform outbursts and disagreements into opportunities for integrating their child's brain and fostering essential emotional and intellectual growth. This book equips parents to cultivate balanced, meaningful, and connected lives for their children, promoting healthy emotional and intellectual development.

Serial Killers - Psychopath...

Taylor Hench, Victor Higgins,...

This is a 5-book combo. These are the five subjects that are included:
Subject 1: Sometimes, when people are diagnosed with bipolar disorder, the diagnosis is wrong. In some cases, the condition is mistaken for borderline personality disorder, or the main essence of the disorder is still missing. We will investigate this further, as well as some of the criteria that a diagnosis like that has to meet.
Subject 2: What causes someone to have Borderline Personality Disorder? Well, the opinions vary, and each person’s life is different, but to point you in the right direction, we’ll discuss some patterns and common life events and traumas that can contribute to it.
Subject 3: Many people try to get a grasp of what goes on in the mind of a serial killer. Today, we can at least show you a limited perspective and some solid insights in the workings of their brains.
Subject 4: Are narcissists sociopaths?
And if they are different, then can someone be both?
These and many other questions will be answered in this guide. You will learn, on top of that, how parents can struggle with sociopathic kids and how you can do better. You will also learn about the American culture and why sociopaths are generally liked by the masses (trust me, it’s true… I’ve seen it over and over again: Fake wins over the truth in a culture driven by emotion, drama, and glamour.)
Subject 5: What are the symptoms of narcissism?
Are there different types of narcissists?
These and many other questions will be addressed. Narcissism in students, in children, and in others will be laid out and explained in further detail. There are many things to learn about narcissism, so become familiar with it now!
