Social Power and Political Influence
The nature of social power, the ability of individuals to affect the behavior and belief of others, is central to any understanding of the dynamics of change in our society. It is therefore surprising that social scientists, and especially social psychologists, have devoted relatively little attention to the subject and have accumulated relatively little knowledge about it. But this gap may be more apparent than real argues James T. Tedeschi; there has in fact been a great deal of research on many aspects of interpersonal influence. What is missing is the kind of consensus about an operational definition of the concept of power that would bring this work usefully into focus. The purpose of S...

Forbidden Techniques of Mental Manipulation and Persuasion
Do You Want to Learn How to Convince, Influence, and Manipulate the Decisions of Others? Are you interested in capturing the attention of others and generating trust and influence? Persuasion, mental manipulation, and hypnosis are three topics that go to the limits of ethics, as the manipulated person is never aware of the techniques applied to them to modify their thoughts, behavior, and/or decision-making ability. Knowing how to communicate with the subconscious part of the mind, bypassing the filter of the conscious mind, is crucial for a person to receive a suggestion without noticing anything. To generate influence over others, you must master the techniques of persuasive communication,...
Generating Predictability
Human behaviour is infinitely complex, the result of thousands of interactions between predispositions, external factors and physical and cognitive processes. It is also highly unpredictable, which makes meaningful social engagement difficult without the aid of some external framework such as that offered by an institution. Both formal and informal institutions can provide the element of predictability necessary for successful, complex interactions, a factor which is often overlooked by institutional analysts and designers. Drawing on a wide range of disciplines including psychology, economics, and sociological and political studies, this book develops a coherent and accessible theory for explaining the unpredictability of individual behaviour. The author then highlights the danger of institutional reforms undermining the very capacity to generate predictability which is so central to their success. This book will appeal to academics, researchers and professionals in many fields including management studies, behavioural economics and the new, interdisciplinary field of institutional design.

Cognitive Pragmatics
Speakers tend to compose their utterances in such a way that the message they want to get across is hardly ever fully encoded by the meanings of the words and the grammar they use. Instead speakers rely on hearers adding conceptual and emotive content while interpreting the contextually appropriate meanings and intentions behind utterances. This insight, which is of course particularly relevant in all kinds of indirect, figurative or humorous talk, lies at the heart of the linguistic discipline of pragmatics. If pragmatics is the study of meaning-in-context, then cognitive pragmatics can be broadly defined as encompassing the study of the cognitive principles and processes involved in the co...
Boost Your Brainpower
Most people use less than 5 percent of their overall brain potential. A Brilliant Mind helps readers tap into the other 95 percent through the mental exercise of vocabulary building and memorization. With the exercises in this book, readers can improve test scores, increase IQ, memorize more information, communicate more effectively, and excel in work and interactions with other people. Developed from Dr. Minirth's vast experience as a psychiatrist, A Brilliant Mind contains dozens of word lists to memorize, a process that will not only increase vocabulary but also change and grow the brain itself. The book also reveals eight time-proven memory techniques, encourages Scripture memorization, and offers insights into language that will open new doors for any reader. A Brilliant Mind will be especially helpful to baby boomers looking for mental exercises to sharpen their minds and improve their memories.
The Dynamics of Homoeopathy
When a student chooses to practice homoeopathy, he is at a very vulnerable stage and immense inner resources are called upon to trudge along this path. There are multiple digressions and discouragements and unless his beliefs are strong enough, it is very easy to get distracted. This book is intended to assist him in his travails and pep him up when he is in doubt. This book is essentially for those willing to unlearn, step back and take an unprejudiced view, for those open to new ideas and fresh concepts, for those keen to know where and how our system of medicine fits in to modern science and newer discoveries and how we can strive to make homoeopathy more acceptable and less lambasted by ...
Language and Intercultural Communication in the New Era
Studies of intercultural communication in applied linguistics initially focused on miscommunication, mainly between native and non-native speakers of English. The advent of the twenty-first century has witnessed, however, a revolution in the contexts and contents of intercultural communication; technological advances such as chat rooms, emails, personal weblogs, Facebook, Twitter, mobile text messaging on the one hand, and the accelerated pace of people’s international mobility on the other have given a new meaning to the term 'intercultural communication'. Given the remarkable growth in the prevalence of intercultural communication among people from many cultural backgrounds, and across m...
