Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dogs fill our hearts with love and our minds with wonder, but their emotional lives have remained unexplored since Darwin 125 years ago. Now in Dogs Never Lie About Love, controversial psychoanalyst Jeffrey Masson brilliantly navigates the rich inner landscape of "our best friends." As he guides readers through the surprising depth of canine emotional complexity, Jeffrey Masson draws from myth and literature, from scientific studies, and from the stories and observations of dog trainers and dog lovers around the world. But the stars of the book are the author's own three dogs whose delightful and mysterious behavior provides the way to exploring a wide range of subjects--from emotions like gratitude, compassion, loneliness, and disappointment to speculating what dogs dream of and how their powerful sense of smell shapes their perception of reality. As he sweeps aside old prejudices on animal behavior, Masson reaches into a rich universe of dog feeling to its essential core, their "master emotion": love. Like the dogs he loves, Masson's writing will capture the reader with its playful, mysterious, and serious sides. Its surprising insights provide a new dimension of understanding for dog owners everywhere.

Download or read book America s Five Most Recent Fake Presidents and Why They Love the Lie written by Dowling G. Campbell PH.D. and published by Page Publishing Inc. This book was released on 2023-05-02 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Freedom and democracy have been competing with tyranny and greed since mankind arrived. During both World Wars, America led in the sacrifice of our soldiers and resources. Ever since, American freedom has been seriously deteriorating. My book America's Most Recent Five Fake Presidents and Why They Love the Lie is an attempt to help restore old-fashion intelligence, graciousness, along with freedom and democracy. These five fake presidents--Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan, George H. W. Bush, George W. Bush, and Donald Trump--have all deliberately damaged freedom, intelligence, and liberty almost beyond repair. The first four either started or exacerbated wars and are responsible for the untold deaths of American troops, among others. In addition, each created a trove of lies that conservatives have been hiding for years. The fifth, Donald Trump, has built a web of lies that has captured and killed the truth of freedom for a frighteningly large number of Americans, including a number of conservative politicians. In contrast, the intervening Democratic presidents have been able to stop the wars started by these Republican presidents and, in many cases, even restored some much-needed financial assistance to those who need it most. One of the numerous illustrations is the fact that Bill Clinton, in addition to bringing the Bosnia War to an end, balanced the budget four times in eight years and left millions of surplus dollars, which Bush 2 squandered away in his first six months, with Republican praise.

Download or read book Love and Lies written by Clancy Martin and published by Picador. This book was released on 2016-02-09 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A provocative and unflinching look at the nature of love and deception, by celebrated author and philosopher Clancy Martin Is it possible to love well without lying? At least since Socrates’s discourse on love in Plato’s Symposium, philosophers have argued that love can lead us to the truth—about ourselves and the ones we love. But in the practical experience of erotic love—and perhaps especially in marriage—we find that love and lies often work hand in hand, and that it may be difficult to sustain long-term romantic love without deception, both of oneself and of others. Drawing on contemporary philosophy, psychoanalysis, and cognitive neuroscience, as well as his own personal experience and such famed and diverse writers on love as Shakespeare, Stendhal, Proust, Adrienne Rich, and Raymond Carver, Clancy Martin—himself divorced twice and married three times—explores how love, truthfulness, and deception work together in contemporary life and society. He concludes that learning how to love and loving well inevitably requires lying and further argues that the best love relationships draw us slowly and with difficulty toward honesty and trust. Love and Lies is a relentlessly honest book about the difficulty of love, which is certain to both provoke and entertain.
