Download or read book Blind Trust written by Vamik Volkan and published by Pitchstone Publishing (US&CA). This book was released on 2014-07-01 with total page 554 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Blind Trust is the culmination of more than three decades of profound immersion in the most pressing sociopolitical conflicts of our time, by the psychoanalyst with probably the most direct experience with such issues of any in the world. Author Vamik Volkan applies his knowledge of depth psychology to the turbulent and destructive human experiences in the current cauldrons of the greatest unrest and disaster throughout Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. Illuminating the etiologic bases of war, revolution, massacres, and terror, as these have disturbed the world from ancient times to modern civilization, his voice speaks for the imperative of reason and the application of modern analytic knowledge for conflict resolution at the highest levels. The subjects are large groups and their leaders: windows into the lives of the Prophet Muhammad, Stalin, Milosevic, Osama Bin Laden, and David Koresh are interspersed with examinations of religion and fundamentalism and a sober study of suicide attackers. Volkan's detailed and scholarly description of regressive movements in large-group identities, complemented by an equal attention to progressive and creative reparative forces, represents a significant expansion of our understanding of group psychology.

Download or read book Blindspot written by Mahzarin R. Banaji and published by Bantam. This book was released on 2016-08-16 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Accessible and authoritative . . . While we may not have much power to eradicate our own prejudices, we can counteract them. The first step is to turn a hidden bias into a visible one. . . . What if we’re not the magnanimous people we think we are?”—The Washington Post I know my own mind. I am able to assess others in a fair and accurate way. These self-perceptions are challenged by leading psychologists Mahzarin R. Banaji and Anthony G. Greenwald as they explore the hidden biases we all carry from a lifetime of exposure to cultural attitudes about age, gender, race, ethnicity, religion, social class, sexuality, disability status, and nationality. “Blindspot” is the authors’ metaphor for the portion of the mind that houses hidden biases. Writing with simplicity and verve, Banaji and Greenwald question the extent to which our perceptions of social groups—without our awareness or conscious control—shape our likes and dislikes and our judgments about people’s character, abilities, and potential. In Blindspot, the authors reveal hidden biases based on their experience with the Implicit Association Test, a method that has revolutionized the way scientists learn about the human mind and that gives us a glimpse into what lies within the metaphoric blindspot. The title’s “good people” are those of us who strive to align our behavior with our intentions. The aim of Blindspot is to explain the science in plain enough language to help well-intentioned people achieve that alignment. By gaining awareness, we can adapt beliefs and behavior and “outsmart the machine” in our heads so we can be fairer to those around us. Venturing into this book is an invitation to understand our own minds. Brilliant, authoritative, and utterly accessible, Blindspot is a book that will challenge and change readers for years to come. Praise for Blindspot “Conversational . . . easy to read, and best of all, it has the potential, at least, to change the way you think about yourself.”—Leonard Mlodinow, The New York Review of Books “Banaji and Greenwald deserve a major award for writing such a lively and engaging book that conveys an important message: Mental processes that we are not aware of can affect what we think and what we do. Blindspot is one of the most illuminating books ever written on this topic.”—Elizabeth F. Loftus, Ph.D., distinguished professor, University of California, Irvine; past president, Association for Psychological Science; author of Eyewitness Testimony

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If You Want to See the Evils of Big Pharma Exposed, Keep Reading! Imagine the following scenario - you've been suffering from migraines ever since the age of 12. They intensify into your adulthood. You go to your doctor who refers you to a neurologist. He doesn't find anything wrong. You're referred to a cardiologist and an eye doctor. You have an MRI scan. You also visit a psychiatrist who declares you suffer from some kind of phobia and puts you on heavy medications. These make you feel blurry and they simply mask the problem. So you're now stuck with an inexplicable headache and a medication that has far more side effects than benefits. This is a real-life, everyday scenario that so many patients go through because they hold blind trust in the medical establishment. After all, doctors are supposed to help us and make us feel better, right? When putting blind trust in doctors, however, we often forget to trust our own bodies and we disregard the signals they're sending our way. With all of the available information, it's easy to start questioning your doctor to ensure correct treatment. Treatments are often wrong or anything but personalized. There are several reasons why: Doctors are human and they make mistakes Medical professionals are often paid or stimulated in other ways to push one type of medicine or another Medical negligence and malpractice are real things - in the US alone, 250,000 people die each year from medical errors or negligence The medical industry is often run by greed and not the patient's best interest Organizational and staffing issues in medical facilities also contribute to problems It's time you take charge of your own health. You can stand against human errors, corruption, medical industry trends and fads that could be killing you or the people you love. Blind Trust in Doctors and Why It's Killing You will open your eyes and show you the main reasons why you need to be in complete control of the medical decisions that concern your wellbeing. The book will highlight essentials like: The power of Big Pharma - why Americans spend more than 3.34 billion dollars on prescription drugs per year Why we have been turned into clients rather than patients who need treatment The lies and deceit behind diets and weight loss programs The opioid crisis - commonly prescribed, these drugs kill 47,000 people per year Big lies about food, about exercise, about wellbeing - you'll find out why you should never go for the low-fat option The number one reason why cholesterol isn't the enemy Best ways to naturally lower your cancer risk Top 13 cancer-causing foods that you are still eating Antibiotics: over-prescribed and often ineffective And much more! The book will teach you how to control some of the most prominent health risks in natural, sustainable ways. If you're already questioning the medical establishment and you're looking for alternatives to drugs that often address the symptoms rather than the disease, this book is for you. A small lifestyle adjustment can produce a large ripple effect as far as wellbeing goes. Being in charge doesn't have to be expensive, difficult and it definitely doesn't need to come with nasty side effects. The medical industry could be killing you and it's time to regain control right now. If you want to be 100% in charge of your health, scroll up and click the "Add to Cart" button now.
