How to Analyze People: Analyze and Influence Anyone : A Psychologist’s Guide to Speed Reading People and Personality Types (Emotional Intelligence 2.0, Book 2) , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 224min
It is important that you understand the motives behind what people do or say. For one, we are naturally social and are surrounded by people all the time. These people exhibit a wide range of behavior that affects who we are and various aspects about us, like our well-being and our finances, and we need to monitor this influence. Secondly, people rarely reveal their true intentions, and these could sometimes be intended for your harm. Knowing this beforehand could save you from different kinds of pain, disappointment, and regrets. Understanding the true nature of a person makes you a better negotiator because you can read emotions like desperation, and you are likely to get a better deal than you would if you couldn’t read the person. In addition, it is easier to deflect negative emotions when they are thrown at you because you understand well where they are coming from. You become more empathetic and accommodating of people and their flaws.To that end, this audiobook is arranged into 11 brief chapters each indicating the most important aspects of interaction you need to master to be able to interact with, analyze, and influence the people around you seamlessly. The author jumps right ahead and informs you how to read from a person’s body language in the first chapter. A person communicates using almost every organ of his body - from his or her eyes, lips, legs, hands, body posture, facial expressions, and even the skin. Get to know how each of your body parts could be sending secret messages to other people. Also, you will know how to analyze the people by their body language.Your intuition is a critical component of the tools you use to read and analyze others. The intuition is the sense that lets you in on information about someone even without having someone else telling it to you. When you have it in your intuition, you know what you know, and it is difficult for anyone to convince you otherwise. Most of the time, your intuition will be 1 ungekürzt. Language: English.

An Ugly Truth
'An explosive new book' Daily Mail '[A] careful, comprehensive interrogation of every major Facebook scandal. An Ugly Truth provides the kind of satisfaction you might get if you hired a private investigator to track a cheating spouse: it confirms your worst suspicions and then gives you all the dates and details you need to cut through the company's spin' New York Times Award-winning New York Times reporters Sheera Frenkel and Cecilia Kang unveil the tech story of our times in this riveting, behind-the-scenes exposé that offers the definitive account of Facebook's fall from grace. Once one of Silicon Valley's greatest success stories, for the past five years Facebook has been under constant fire, roiled by controversies and crises. It turns out that while the tech giant was connecting the world, they were also mishandling users' data, allowing the spread of fake news, and the amplification of dangerous, polarising hate speech. In a period of great upheaval, growth has remained the one constant under the leadership of Mark Zuckerberg and Sheryl Sandberg. Each has stood by as their technology is co-opted by hate-mongers, criminals and corrupt political regimes across the globe, with devastating consequences. In An Ugly Truth, they are at last held accountable. 'Better sourced than all of its predecessors in the genre . . . makes for gripping as well as depressing reading. One of the book's striking revelations is that there is more anxiety inside the company than we realised. Many Facebook employees have been anguished, frustrated or angry about what their employer has been doing in its relentless quest for growth. Some have tried to alert their superiors to their concerns. But time and again the bad news hasn't persuaded those bosses because they didn't sync with the overriding imperative of endless corporate growth . . . The problem of Facebook is Zuckerberg. And the question posed by this splendid book is: what are we going to do about him?' Observer, Book of the Week 'What marks this book out is how it gets under the corporate bonnet . . . to build a picture of astounding corporate arrogance and irresponsibility' Sunday Times 'A detailed dismantling of what happened at the highest levels of the company as it pursued a policy of deny, deflect and obfuscate' New Statesman- Shop: buecher

Cries of Ecstasy / Blows of Death
"A pioneering slice of post-apocalypse cinema"* only begins to describe the soft-core doomsday fever-dream that is Cries of Ecstasy, Blows of Death (1973), head-lining this fantasy - sci-fi double-feature Blu-ray / DVD combo from Pop Cinema and Something Weird. Before Mad Max, humans struggle to survive a barren planet populated by roving bands of biker gangs, armed with only some killer kung-fu moves and a willingness to get down with just about anyone. Starring Sandi Cary, Kim Lu and the ubiquitous Uschi Digard, Cries of Ecstasy, Blows of Death is a dystopian action film tailor-made for lovers of 70s exploitation cinema. "Welcome to... The Erogenous Zone" intones a Rod Sterling-esque voice as we dive into 1977's Invasion of the Love Drones, an absurd, ambitious and ultra-stylish sci-fi romp in which Eric Edwards is enlisted by aliens to deflect a nuclear-tipped rocket from their mother ship... by causing a planetary orgasm, of course. Featuring Bree Anthony, Jennifer Jordan, with an appearance by Jamie Gillis. Remastered from the original film elements and featuring a new essay by film critic Jeremy Richey.- Shop: odax
