Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Still unmarried at 29, Elizabeth Beckett is content in her singleness. Working at the Navy Support Site Chapel for the Navy chaplains, of which one is her father, she is kept very busy. As it is, she barely finds enough time to spend with her family and friends, let alone partaking in the many social activities and commitments that regularly come her way. Having lived in Naples, Italy for ten years with her four adult sisters and parents, she is completely settled into their way of life. However, little does she know that is about to change, when new members of her singles group, freshly transferred in, will have a deep profound effect on her, her family and friends. This is especially true for the tall, handsome but surly Chaplain Darby, with whom she needs to learn to work with. As she and others navigate through a sudden barrage of life events, they all learn that nothing is as it seems, and that there is no place for arrogance and assumptions (This is a 21st century American military family version of Austen's 'Pride and Prejudice').

Download or read book Trust in an Age of Arrogance written by C FitzSimons Allison and published by Lutterworth Press. This book was released on 2011-05-26 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: God is in the dock. Shall we convict him or forgive him? Shall we replace the God of Scripture with another of our choosing, mock and deride him, or ignore him? Shall we replace revelation with the chaos of speculation? We perceive ourselves, ratherthan God, as the center of the world and this universal condition leads to conflict with others and with God. Maintaining our center causes cheating, lying, litigation, divorce, wars, genocide, and human misery. Western civilization is giving up trust in the promise of God's mercy, justice, and forgiveness and replacing it with trust in the goodness of man. Jesus warned us to beware the teaching of the Sadducees and Pharisees. The Sadducees, who denied hope of eternal life, are a rough equivalent of our modern day secularists with their religious trust that this world is all there is. Replacing God with trust in flawed human nature is a mark of arrogance that even pagans would have characterized as hubris evoking divine wrath. The Pharisee's yeast of self-righteousness is a natural condition of us all. Even when cleansed it reappears in every tradition rendering forgiveness and transformation a promise only for those who think they have earned and deserve it. Such a distortion of God's word is congenial to our self-as-center, but it robs us sinners of the justice and mercy of a loving God. Following Jesus's warning we have the opportunity to wipe away the Sadducee arrogance and the Pharisee self-righteousness and discover anew the supreme power and joy of the Christian faith.

Download or read book Avoiding the Arrogance Cycle written by Michael Farr and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2012-11-20 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is the arrogance cycle? We’ve just lived through it. As market bubbles build, our confidence level rises (dis)proportionately. Everyone wants in on the action. We want to believe Wall Street, and once we do, the inevitable happens. Like Dr. Frankenstein breathing life into inanimate flesh, investment professionals sought ever more novel ways to create wealth. The only problem was that it was all artificial. In this book, Michael Farr examines the forces at work on individuals and markets and explains in clear, concise, layman’s terms how we got to where we are. Farr focuses on individual factors—such as rampant consumerism, a sense of entitlement, narcissism, resentment toward the upper class—that combined to create the perfect economic storm. By consulting with leading psychologists and relaying first-hand experience with investment clients, he provides a case study of the arrogant investor. In reviewing failed enterprises like Enron, AIG, Lehman Brothers, and Bear Stearns, as well as the illegal activities of Bernie Madoff and others through the lens of arrogance, the book sheds light on those disasters and offers a means to detect the insidious presence of arrogance so that in the future we can contain the damage before it spreads.

Download or read book The Rationalizing Voter written by Milton Lodge and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2013-04-22 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Political behavior is the result of innumerable unnoticed forces and conscious deliberation is often a rationalization of automatically triggered feelings and thoughts. Citizens are very sensitive to environmental contextual factors such as the title 'President' preceding 'Obama' in a newspaper headline, upbeat music or patriotic symbols accompanying a campaign ad, or question wording and order in a survey, all of which have their greatest influence when citizens are unaware. This book develops and tests a dual-process theory of political beliefs, attitudes and behavior, claiming that all thinking, feeling, reasoning and doing have an automatic component as well as a conscious deliberative component. The authors are especially interested in the impact of automatic feelings on political judgments and evaluations. This research is based on laboratory experiments, which allow the testing of five basic hypotheses: hot cognition, automaticity, affect transfer, affect contagion and motivated reasoning.

Book excerpt: Arrogance as a specific constellation of affect, fantasy, and behavior has received little attention in psychoanalysis. This is striking in light of the enormous amount of literature accumulated on the related phenomenon of narcissism. Rectifying this omission, the book in your hands addresses arrogance from multiple perspectives. Among the vantage points employed are psychoanalysis, evolutionary psychology, cross-cultural anthropology, fiction, as well as clinical work with children and adults. The result is a harmonious gestalt of insight that is bound to enhance the clinician's attunement to the covert anguish of those afflicted with arrogance.

Download or read book The arrogance inherent to the human condition written by and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2022-09-20 with total page 25 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Essay from the year 2022 in the subject Philosophy - Philosophy of the 20th century, grade: A, Pace University, language: English, abstract: An essay on the arrogance inherent to the human condition. When one claims to understand the world, there comes a certain confidence with that statement. How is it possible to have a belief someone doesn’t actually believe in? By definition, it is a contradictory statement. So, each individual has certain beliefs which they have total confidence in. The sum of all individual beliefs of an individual form the worldview through which one perceives the world. This worldview, in turn, influences every single decision one makes. This is better understood with an example. When one uses the word ‘sun’, it is pretty clear what one means. One is nearly always referring to the star around which our planet revolves. On the surface, it seems obvious. How can anyone think of anything else when you use the word ‘sun’? However, there is a difference between the denotation and the connotation of the word. For each individual on the planet, there is a different connotation behind the word. That is due to the fact that no two people are the same. It does not matter if people are brought up with the same values, the same family, or even very similar genetics in the case of twins. The word will always have a different connotation for each person, noticeable in some instances and not noticeable in others. For example, one person from a hotter part of the world might associate the word with feelings of nostalgia, while people coming from freezing climates could associate it with desire. The point being, this can be done for every single objective concept, thought, word. Hence, we have no choice but to believe that while there does exist an objective world we all share, there is also a perception of the world which is different for each person. Hence, the world loses all objectivity. Who am I to claim the sky is blue when to a colour-blind person it is grey? It is easy to claim the colour-blind person in this example is wrong, but why is the real question. Are they wrong because we can claim with certainty the sky is blue, or is it because to most people the sky is blue, and hence that is the truth?

Download or read book Know It All Society Truth and Arrogance in Political Culture written by Michael P. Lynch and published by Liveright Publishing. This book was released on 2019-08-13 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner • National Council of Teachers of English - George Orwell Award for Distinguished Contribution to Honesty and Clarity in Public Language The “philosopher of truth” (Jill Lepore, The New Yorker) returns with a clear-eyed and timely critique of our culture’s narcissistic obsession with thinking that “we” know and “they” don’t. Taking stock of our fragmented political landscape, Michael Patrick Lynch delivers a trenchant philosophical take on digital culture and its tendency to make us into dogmatic know-it-alls. The internet—where most shared news stories are not even read by the person posting them—has contributed to the rampant spread of “intellectual arrogance.” In this culture, we have come to think that we have nothing to learn from one another; we are rewarded for emotional outrage over reflective thought; and we glorify a defensive rejection of those different from us. Interweaving the works of classic philosophers such as Hannah Arendt and Bertrand Russell and imposing them on a cybernetic future they could not have possibly even imagined, Lynch delves deeply into three core ideas that explain how we’ve gotten to the way we are: • our natural tendency to be overconfident in our knowledge; • the tribal politics that feed off our tendency; • and the way the outrage factory of social media spreads those politics of arrogance and blind conviction. In addition to identifying an ascendant “know-it-all-ism” in our culture, Lynch offers practical solutions for how we might start reversing this dangerous trend—from rejecting the banality of emoticons that rarely reveal insight to embracing the tenets of Socrates, who exemplified the humility of admitting how little we often know about the world, to the importance of dialogue if we want to know more. With bracing and deeply original analysis, Lynch holds a mirror up to American culture to reveal that the sources of our fragmentation start with our attitudes toward truth. Ultimately, Know-It-All Society makes a powerful new argument for the indispensable value of truth and humility in democracy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Award-winning author Sonali Dev launches a new series about the Rajes, an immigrant Indian family descended from royalty, who have built their lives in San Francisco... It is a truth universally acknowledged that only in an overachieving Indian American family can a genius daughter be considered a black sheep. Dr. Trisha Raje is San Francisco’s most acclaimed neurosurgeon. But that’s not enough for the Rajes, her influential immigrant family who’s achieved power by making its own non-negotiable rules: · Never trust an outsider · Never do anything to jeopardize your brother’s political aspirations · And never, ever, defy your family Trisha is guilty of breaking all three rules. But now she has a chance to redeem herself. So long as she doesn’t repeat old mistakes. Up-and-coming chef DJ Caine has known people like Trisha before, people who judge him by his rough beginnings and place pedigree above character. He needs the lucrative job the Rajes offer, but he values his pride too much to indulge Trisha’s arrogance. And then he discovers that she’s the only surgeon who can save his sister’s life. As the two clash, their assumptions crumble like the spun sugar on one of DJ’s stunning desserts. But before a future can be savored there’s a past to be reckoned with... A family trying to build home in a new land. A man who has never felt at home anywhere. And a choice to be made between the two.
