    The Internment of Japanese-Americans and German-Americans During World War II: The History and Legacy of the Federal Government’s Most Controversial Wartime Policy , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 174min
    The internment of Japanese Americans in the wake of the attack on Pearl Harbor is second only to slavery in terms of America’s most tragic and regrettable chapters in history. While the forced relocation and internment of Japanese Americans living on the West Coast during the Second World War is widely recognized - they have even received apologies and compensation from the US government - what is not as well-known is that between 1941 and 1948, approximately 10,000 Americans of German descent were also forcibly interned at camps scattered across the United States. Some refugees who had fled from Germany, in an attempt to escape Nazi persecution, were rounded up, interned, and later used in a prisoner exchange program between the United States and German governments. The American government also went to great lengths to secure Germans living across Latin America, who they believed posed a tangible threat, should they cross America’s southern border.In spite of a preponderance of evidence affirming the occurrence of these events, the United States government persistently denied it for decades. The public was largely unaware that these atrocities had occurred, and hardly a single account of history was found to mention them. Winkler, for instance, fallaciously asserted that “German-Americans, treated poorly by their fellow Americans during World War I, were now more fully assimilated into American life and were largely left alone”.  With the Freedom of Information Act (1967) opening up government archives regarding these events, new facts emerged pertaining to German-American internment during World War II. More recently, personal testimonies by survivors of internment camps have led historians into the open archives in an effort to corroborate their stories. But even after these events have been firmly established, they continue to be overlooked both in popular discourse and by historians of the era. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Colin Fluxman.

    Hideki Matsui: Sportsmanship, Modesty, and the Art of the Home Run , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 205min
    In this unique and meaningful book, Shizuka Ijuin, an award-winning author and a friend of baseball legend Hideki Matsui, profiles the beloved New York Yankee–a world-class athlete who exemplifies a quality that Ijuin believes is central to success and well-being: modesty. Hideki Matsui embodies the Eastern virtue that combines compassion and self-effacement with high achievement. Born in a northern coastal town of Japan, Matsui was a phenomenon by the time he was a teenager, playing baseball in the famous high school league tournament at the Koshien Stadium and nicknamed “the wunderkind from the North.” His character was formed early on: Matsui’s father once taught him not to complain about an opposing pitcher who had intentionally walked him five times in a row, for, his father asserted, the other boy was enduring something even worse. As class president and high school team captain, Matsui spoke out against verbal abuse and bullying. Turning pro with the prestigious Yomiuri Giants, Matsui became the best hitter in the league, a national hero whose feats on the field lifted fans’ spirits. Matsui feared that his admirers would feel betrayed when he joined the Major Leagues in America, but instead they urged him on, asking only that he continue to make them proud. And Matsui has done exactly that, with his accomplishments and the dignified manner in which he has behaved. Matsui has set a high public standard, visiting Ground Zero soon after his arrival in the United States, sending relief money to earthquake victims and tsunami survivors, and always acting with modesty. But this audiobook is more than an inspiring portrait of a sportsman with the soul of a stoic modern samurai. Shizuka Ijuin explains the role modesty plays in Japanese culture, showing, for instance, how Japanese Little Leaguers start games by properly greeting their elders, thereby learning that respect is more important than scoring.

    Instincts, Influence and Psychological Disorders: A Guide for Everyone! , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 345min
    Individuals are continually discussing "human impulses". A great many people probably won't comprehend what that implies, and this is an expression that was obtained from science. It advises us that, by the day's end, people are merely warm-blooded creatures who developed past the rest. In any case, a few eccentricities make individuals unique creatures. You may have heard some individuals talk about the human nature of endurance, for instance. Regardless of the way that the vast majority accept people have this impulse, you realize that suicide is a day-by-day event in this day and age. You've, additionally, most likely caught wind of sexual desires. However, you recognize that feebleness and other sexual dysfunctions exist.As should be obvious, the point of human impulses doesn't merely end with a natural talk. There's a scope of social and symbolic vectors that impact everything. There are ways of thinking that don't examine impulses by any means. Instead, they talk about "drives".From an organic point of view, human impulses are diagrams for conduct that are inherited and essential over the species. The reason for these instincts is to assist individuals with adjusting to their surroundings. They're pre-customized in the cerebrum itself. These instincts enable you to secure yourself and keep yourself alive. They show themselves as quick or programmed responses.Organic hypothesis demonstrates that people have some essential instincts:Endurance nature: This includes all vital conduct that causes you to save your life and well-being. A few models are the shirking of threat, eating, and the quest for cover.The regenerative nature: This one includes the protection of the species. Mostly, it's about regenerative sexuality.The strict intuition: Even though there's no agreement on this point, most analysts of the positivist school demonstrate that individuals have an inborn need to di ungekürzt.

    Forbidden Manipulation: The Ultimate Guide to Learn How to Influence Anyone's Mind Using NLP, Persuasion, Hypnosis and Advanced Techniques to Analyze and Control People (Dark Psychology) , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 185min
    Do you know what Forbidden Manipulation is?Do you want to know how to manipulate people?Manipulation is fundamentally the art of getting others to do exactly what you want them to not necessarily by paying attention to their desires or in extreme cases, even harming them. It comprises a series of techniques such as charm, charisma, hypnotism, persuasion, trickery, coaxing, misinformation, and much more.The underlying objective of manipulation often is, "I need to trick people to lead them to give me precisely what I require or desire." However, not all forms of manipulation are bad. At times, they can be used positively to turn the game around and help you get what is rightfully yours or what you're being deprived. For instance, a stingy boss refuses to give you a promotion or pay raise that's been due for long. No forms of logical or meaningful persuasion work with him or her. In such circumstances, manipulation can be used in a positive manner to help you get what is rightfully yours.Unlike persuasion, manipulation occurs at a deeper and subconscious level. It is carried out by attempting to change to the fundamental beliefs and experiences of people to get them to do what we want. This can be done by using a variety of raw and sophisticated methods ranging from hypnotism to seduction or top-notch verbal skills. It is sometimes performed by distorting someone's idea of reality to get them to think and do what we want them to. People will then start behaving and thinking about reality precisely as the manipulator wants them to.Do we have your attention now? In this book, we will discuss the following topics:Become a ManipulatorManipulation TechniquesWhy Is Manipulation Important in LifeMind Control Through NLPThe Power of NLPAnd Much More!Are you excited?Look no more!Download our audiobook now and know everything about Forbidden Manipu ungekürzt.

    Rational Ritual: Culture, Coordination, and Common Knowledge , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 216min
    Why do Internet, financial service, and beer commercials dominate Super Bowl advertising? How do political ceremonies establish authority? Why does repetition characterize anthems and ritual speech? Why were circular forms favored for public festivals during the French Revolution? This book answers these questions using a single concept: common knowledge. Game theory shows that in order to coordinate its actions, a group of people must form "common knowledge". Each person wants to participate only if others also participate. Members must have knowledge of each other, knowledge of that knowledge, knowledge of the knowledge of that knowledge, and so on. Michael Chwe applies this insight with striking erudition to analyze a range of rituals across history and cultures. He shows that public ceremonies are powerful not simply because they transmit meaning from a central source to each audience member but because they let audience members know what other members know. For instance people watching the Super Bowl know that many others are seeing precisely what they see and that those people know in turn that many others are also watching. This creates common knowledge, and advertisers selling products that depend on consensus are willing to pay large sums to gain access to it. Remarkably, a great variety of rituals and ceremonies, such as formal inaugurations, work in much the same way. By using a rational-choice argument to explain diverse cultural practices, Chwe argues for a close reciprocal relationship between the perspectives of rationality and culture. He illustrates how game theory can be applied to an unexpectedly broad spectrum of problems while showing in an admirably clear way what game theory might hold for scholars in the social sciences and humanities who are not yet acquainted with it. In a new afterword, Chwe delves into new applications of common knowledge both in the real world and in experiments and considers how generating common knowledge has bec ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Brainwashing, Mindfulness and Dark Psychology: Definitive Guide to Develop Mental Toughness and Improving Your Emotional Intelligence Influencing , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 602min
    Brainwashing, Mindfulness and Dark Psychology: Definitive Guide to Develop Mental Toughness and Improving Your Emotional Intelligence Influencing They say that knowledge is power. Well, if knowledge is power, then having knowledge of human psychology is the equivalent of having super powers. Psychology, the understanding of the human mind and the way it works, is a topic central to the existence of mankind. Dark psychology is the study of the human condition as it relates to the psychological nature of people to prey upon others. All of humanity has this potential to victimize other humans and living creatures. While many restrain or sublimate this tendency, some act upon these impulses. Dark psychology seeks to understand those thoughts, feelings, and perceptions that lead to human predatory behavior. Dark Psychology assumes that this production is purposive and has some rational, goal-oriented motivation 99.99 percent of the time. The remaining .01 percent, under dark psychology, is the brutal victimization of others without purposive intent or reasonably defined by evolutionary science or religious dogma. In psychology, the study of brainwashing, often referred to as thought reform, falls into the sphere of "social influence". Social influence happens every minute of every day. It's the collection of ways in which people can change other people's attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors. For instance, the compliance method aims to produce a change in a person's behavior and is not concerned with his attitudes or beliefs. It's the "just do it" approach. Persuasion, on the other hand, aims for a change in attitude. Because brainwashing is such an invasive form of influence, it requires the complete isolation and dependency of the subject, which is why you mostly hear of brainwashing occurring in prison camps or totalist cults.  Mindfulness. It’s a pretty straightforward word. It suggests that the mind is fully attending to what’ ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jason Belvill.
