Esto se puede hacer utilizando una variedad de métodos crudos y sofisticados que van desde el hipnotismo hasta la seducción o habilidades verbales de primer nivel.

Download or read book The Book of Daniel written by E.L. Doctorow and published by Random House. This book was released on 2010-11-10 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The central figure of this novel is a young man whose parents were executed for conspiring to steal atomic secrets for Russia. His name is Daniel Isaacson, and as the story opens, his parents have been dead for many years. He has had a long time to adjust to their deaths. He has not adjusted. Out of the shambles of his childhood, he has constructed a new life—marriage to an adoring girl who gives him a son of his own, and a career in scholarship. It is a life that enrages him. In the silence of the library at Columbia University, where he is supposedly writing a Ph.D. dissertation, Daniel composes something quite different. It is a confession of his most intimate relationships—with his wife, his foster parents, and his kid sister Susan, whose own radicalism so reproaches him. It is a book of memories: riding a bus with his parents to the ill-fated Paul Robeson concert in Peekskill; watching the FBI take his father away; appearing with Susan at rallies protesting their parents’ innocence; visiting his mother and father in the Death House. It is a book of investigation: transcribing Daniel’s interviews with people who knew his parents, or who knew about them; and logging his strange researches and discoveries in the library stacks. It is a book of judgments of everyone involved in the case—lawyers, police, informers, friends, and the Isaacson family itself. It is a book rich in characters, from elderly grand- mothers of immigrant culture, to covert radicals of the McCarthy era, to hippie marchers on the Pen-tagon. It is a book that spans the quarter-century of American life since World War II. It is a book about the nature of Left politics in this country—its sacrificial rites, its peculiar cruelties, its humility, its bitterness. It is a book about some of the beautiful and terrible feelings of childhood. It is about the nature of guilt and innocence, and about the relations of people to nations. It is The Book of Daniel.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La psicología oscura estudia las partes de nosotros mismos que ninguno quiere reconocer. En este campo, se profundiza en nuestros demonios más íntimos y se ilumina lo que preferimos no ver pero necesitamos ver. La psicología oscura acepta y abraza el lado más oscuro de la experiencia humana. En este sentido, hace lo mismo que cualquier área de estudio antropocéntrico, la única diferencia radica en la especialidad de la psicología oscura de esta realidad oscura dentro del animal humano. Sin embargo, la psicología oscura no pretende ser un desfile de villanos. Los especialistas en este campo hacen su trabajo para comprender mejor por qué y cómo las personas malévolas trabajan para conseguir sus fines, no por un intento de ganar fama para sí mismos o para idolatrar a los más monstruosos de entre nosotros. También es importante tener en cuenta que todos y cada uno de nosotros tenemos un lado oscuro o "malvado" de nuestra propia psicología. Si bien hay algunos otros conductos por los que podemos llegar a la realización de los contenidos de este lado, es la psicología oscura la que nos proporciona la ruta más clara en nuestro camino hacia nuestra iluminación respecto a lo oscuros que somos realmente y por qué. En este libro se cubren las siguientes áreas con el objetivo de iluminar sus significados en nuestra vida cotidiana: los principios de la psicología oscura, los rasgos de la "personalidad oscura", los estudios de la psicología oscura, la lectura de la mente, la psicología cognitiva, los modos de persuasión, el control de las emociones y la ingeniería social y el liderazgo. Cuando la mayoría de la gente piensa en el término "psicología oscura", repasa en su mente los temas del maquiavelismo, la psicopatía y la sociopatía. Son lo que se conoce como rasgos oscuros de la personalidad y son un mero microcosmos del alcance general del campo. Estos rasgos son importantes de estudiar, ya que es probable que todos conozcamos a personas que los muestran, y que algunos de nosotros los mostremos nosotros mismos. Esta es sólo un área de la psicología oscura que se cubre en profundidad dentro de este libro. La lectura de la mente y los modos de persuasión son otras dos áreas en las que se profundiza aquí. Prácticamente cualquier persona puede beneficiarse enormemente del estudio de estas dos áreas, por lo que aquí se incluyen también algunos consejos y técnicas útiles sobre cómo leer lo que piensan los demás y cómo persuadirlos para que colaboren con nuestros fines, entre otras muchas cosas.
