Download or read book Poor Fellow My Country written by Xavier Herbert and published by Angus & Robertson. This book was released on 2014 with total page 1472 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Poor Fellow My Country is an Australian classic, perhaps THE Australian classic' - The Times Literary Supplement. From Australia's oldest publisher comes the longest Australian novel ever published. The winner of the 1975 Miles Franklin Award is now back in print with a new introduction by Russell McDougall. In Poor Fellow My Country, Xavier Herbert returns to the region made his own in Capricornia: Northern Australia. Ranging over a period of some six years, the story is set during the late 1930s and early 1940s; but it is not so much a tale of this period as Herbert's analysis and indictment of the steps by which we came to the Australia of today. Herbert parallels an intimate personal narrative with a tale of approaching war and the disconnect between modern Australia and its first inhabitants. With enduring portraits of a large cast of local and international characters, Herbert paints a scene of racial, familial and political disparity. He lays bare the paradoxes of this wild land, both old and wise, young and flawed. Winner of the Miles Franklin award on first publication in 1975, Poor Fellow My Country is masterful storytelling, an epic in the truest sense. This is the decisive story of how Australia threw away her chance of becoming a true commonwealth and it is undoubtedly Herbert's supreme contribution to Australian literature. Will we ever reach the dream of 'Australia Felix' - the happy south land?

Book excerpt: Finally you can access the power of personal influence The fascination with Dark Psychology, the study of the art and science behind manipulation and mind control, has exploded since this clinical research term first appeared in academic journals back in 2004. In Dark Psychology and Manipulation readers will be taken into the minds, the behaviors, the tactics and the techniques of the Narcissists, Machiavellians, Psychopaths, and Everyday Sadists living and working among us. You've worked with some of these people, you've worked for them, you've dated them, married them, divorced them, admired them, feared them, but most of all wondered what it is that makes them do the dark and disturbing things they do. Whether it's your sister going through one relationship after another with an abusive, controlling, manipulative boyfriend, first husband, fiancée; or it's your own experience of having to work for an egotistical, scheming, backstabbing yet somehow wonderfully charismatic supervisor; or it's your neighbor's teenage son who seems to enjoy burning ants in the backyard on the weekends how dangerous are these people? Are they normal? Is their behavior forgivable? Should we be modeling some of our own ways of doing things-at work, in romance, at the grocery store-after them? Not all of them are crazy. Some of them are even wildly successful-in business, in romance, in general. Are they certifiable or is their behavior just a little more extreme than mine? As the field of Dark Psychology continues to grow, and researchers, clinical psychologist, social engineers, therapists, and other experts (and survivors) continue to find out more about what makes these people tick, you'll find analyses of the latest studies in Dark Psychology. Plus, the book gives readers quick and easy breakdowns of how each dark personality is different from the other, and how they are similar. Learn more about the Narcissist-and how to spot one, how to know when you're being worked by one. Find out why Psychopaths have suddenly become role models for many a CEO and upper management businessperson. How did they go from untouchable to the corporate version of James Bond? Take a look at the various techniques used by these personalities of the Dark Triad: manipulation, brainwashing, seduction. All of which are really just after two things: power and control. Do yourself a favor: educate yourself before others decide how you should be educated. Learn how others have been trying to seduce you, trying to lead you astray, down a path that they've chosen, not that you chose. Don't be the prey. Which doesn't mean you have to be the predator, either. It just means you'll be able to choose. It means you won't be at the mercy of anyone from this world of Dark Psychology.

Book excerpt: MANipulated Into Fear is based on a true story about a man I went to high school with and years later married and divorced three times within thirteen years. His name was Rolf. During this time, I was living the dark side of life but others perceived me as living a happy and perfect life. Back in our high school days Rolf grew up as a farmer and drank beer with his buddies. After high school he began to run with the wrong crowd and changed dramatically. I knew he liked to drink a lot of beer and liquor and had used drugs in the past, but I was not aware of his addictive personality and the severity of his addictions. At the beginning of our relationship each time he portrayed himself as the man I had thought he was years before. Within a period of time he began to manipulate me into fear and take control of my life to benefit himself. All three times in the beginning of my relationship with Rolf he was dedicated to Christ, was family-oriented, charming, kind, respectful, and loving, complimented me all the time, apologized for his actions, and knew how to make me feel sorry for him. Shortly after I would marry him he would begin to manipulate and con me into doing things I did not want to do. Rolf would call me uncountable times during the day and want to know my whereabouts. He then insisted on being with me except for when I was at work. This took my time away from friends and family, and that is when the mental abuse began. He stopped complimenting me and began calling me names making me feel worthless, and told me that nobody liked me. When I would accuse him of wrongdoings he would become outraged, screaming at me and using profanity. After he gained control of me, the physical abuse began. Later, I learned that I had repeatedly been involved with a psychopath and that there is always a pattern. Get out of the relationship and don't go back! The person will never change!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Whether you have been experiencing manipulation for years, or if this is something entirely new, psychological manipulation can be tricky to decipher. Mostly because the manipulators themselves are true masters of emotional disguise. More often than not, their sweet talking covers their self-serving, dishonest, and, on the whole, sinister intentions. On top of this confusing mismatch of words and actions, they often try to evoke in their interlocutor powerful feelings of guilt or sympathy, so as to make them more susceptible to manipulation. They can be found anywhere, even in the places we frequent most. It could be your partner, your boss, your neighbor, a co-worker, a distant or close relative, or even a friend. We are talking about people who are masters of certain manipulation techniques and use them to confuse us. Although they are around us, it is not easy to detect these people. Their characteristics and personality traits are not evident. Nobody carries a sign on their foreheads, warning that they are a narcissist or sociopath.
