Book summary:
Blink is about the first two seconds of looking--the decisive glance that knows in an instant. Gladwell, the best-selling author of The Tipping Point, campaigns for snap judgments and mind reading with a gift for translating research into splendid storytelling. Building his case with scenes from a marriage, heart attack triage, speed dating, choking on the golf course, selling cars, and military maneuvers, he persuades readers to think small and focus on the meaning of "thin slices" of behavior. The key is to rely on our "adaptive unconscious"--a 24/7 mental valet--that provides us with instant and sophisticated information to warn of danger, read a stranger, or react to a new idea.
Gladwell includes caveats about leaping to conclusions: marketers can manipulate our first impressions, high arousal moments make us "mind blind," focusing on the wrong cue leaves us vulnerable to "the Warren Harding Effect" (i.e., voting for a handsome but hapless president). In a provocative chapter that exposes the "dark side of blink," he illuminates the failure of rapid cognition in the tragic stakeout and murder of Amadou Diallo in the Bronx. He underlines studies about autism, facial reading and cardio uptick to urge training that enhances high-stakes decision-making. In this brilliant, cage-rattling book, one can only wish for a thicker slice of Gladwell's ideas about what Blink Camp might look like. --Barbara Mackoff [via]

Book summary:
For the 75th anniversary, a new edition of the seminal work with an introduction by Pulitzer Prize-winning author Louis Menand.
Civilization and Its Discontents may be Sigmund Freud's best-known work. Originally published in 1930, it seeks to answer ultimate questions: What influences led to the creation of civilization? How did it come to be? What determines its course? In this seminal volume of twentieth-century thought, Freud elucidates the contest between aggression, indeed the death drive, and its adversary eros. He speaks to issues of human creativity and fulfillment, the place of beauty in culture, and the effects of repression.

Louis Menand, author of the Pulitzer Prize-winning The Metaphysical Club, contributor to The New Yorker, and professor of English at Harvard University, reflects on the importance of this work in intellectual thought and why it has become such a landmark book for the history of ideas.

Not available in hardcover for decades, this beautifully rendered anniversary edition will be a welcome addition to readers' shelves. [via]

Emotional Intelligence
by Daniel Goleman

› Find signed collectible books: 'Emotional Intelligence'
Book summary:
There was a time when IQ was considered the leading determinant of success. In this fascinating book, based on brain and behavioral research, Daniel Goleman argues that our IQ-idolizing view of intelligence is far too narrow. Instead, Goleman makes the case for "emotional intelligence" being the strongest indicator of human success. He defines emotional intelligence in terms of self-awareness, altruism, personal motivation, empathy, and the ability to love and be loved by friends, partners, and family members. People who possess high emotional intelligence are the people who truly succeed in work as well as play, building flourishing careers and lasting, meaningful relationships. Because emotional intelligence isn't fixed at birth, Goleman outlines how adults as well as parents of young children can sow the seeds. [via]

The Western cultures esteem analytical skills measured by IQ tests: but there is clearly more to success and happiness, even in technological societies, than IQ alone. Goleman has written one of the best books on the nature and importance of other kinds of intelligence besides our perhaps overly beloved IQ. Recommended. [via]

Book summary:
You have heard about how a musician loses herself in her music, how a painter becomes one with the process of painting. In work, sport, conversation or hobby, you have experienced, yourself, the suspension of time, the freedom of complete absorption in activity. This is "flow," an experience that is at once demanding and rewarding--an experience that Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi demonstrates is one of the most enjoyable and valuable experiences a person can have. The exhaustive case studies, controlled experiments and innumerable references to historical figures, philosophers and scientists through the ages prove Csikszentmihalyi's point that flow is a singularly productive and desirable state. But the implications for its application to society are what make the book revolutionary. [via]

Freuds Interpretation of Dreams

ISBN 0140137947 (0-14-013794-7)
Softcover, Penguin USA

Find This Book

› Find signed collectible books: 'Freuds Interpretation of Dreams'
Book summary:
Whether we love or hate Sigmund Freud, we all have to admit that he revolutionized the way we think about ourselves. Much of this revolution can be traced to The Interpretation of Dreams, the turn-of-the-century tour de force that outlined his theory of unconscious forces in the context of dream analysis. Introducing the id, the superego, and their problem child, the ego, Freud advanced scientific understanding of the mind immeasurably by exposing motivations normally invisible to our consciousness. While there's no question that his own biases and neuroses influenced his observations, the details are less important than the paradigm shift as a whole. After Freud, our interior lives became richer and vastly more mysterious.
These mysteries clearly bothered him--he went to great (often absurd) lengths to explain dream imagery in terms of childhood sexual trauma, a component of his theory jettisoned mid-century, though now popular among recovered-memory therapists. His dispassionate analyses of his own dreams are excellent studies for cognitive scientists wishing to learn how to sacrifice their vanities for the cause of learning. Freud said of the work contained in The Interpretation of Dreams, "Insight such as this falls to one's lot but once in a lifetime." One would have to feel quite fortunate to shake the world even once. --Rob Lightner [via]

Book summary:
Why do fools fall in love? Why does a man's annual salary, on average, increase $600 with each inch of his height? When a crack dealer guns down a rival, how is he just like Alexander Hamilton, whose face is on the ten-dollar bill? How do optical illusions function as windows on the human soul? Cheerful, cheeky, occasionally outrageous MIT psychologist Steven Pinker answers all of the above and more in his marvelously fun, awesomely informative survey of modern brain science. Pinker argues that Darwin plus canny computer programs are the key to understanding ourselves--but he also throws in apt references to Star Trek, Star Wars, The Far Side, history, literature, W. C. Fields, Mozart, Marilyn Monroe, surrealism, experimental psychology, and Moulay Ismail the Bloodthirsty and his 888 children. If How the Mind Works were a rock show, tickets would be scalped for $100. This book deserved its spot as Number One on bestseller lists. It belongs on a short shelf alongside such classics as Darwin's Dangerous Idea: Evolution and the Meanings of Life, by Daniel C. Dennett, and The Moral Animal: Why We Are the Way We Are: The New Science of Evolutionary Psychology, by Robert Wright. Pinker's startling ideas pop out as dramatically as those hidden pictures in a Magic Eye 3D stereogram poster, which he also explains in brilliantly lucid prose. [via]

Dividida en tres volúmenes en la presente edición, LA INTERPRETACIÓN DE LOS SUEÑOS desempeñó un papel decisivo dentro de ese enorme esfuerzo de subversión de valores y de innovación teórica. Escrita entre 1895 y 1899, es la primera obra en que Sigmund Freud (1856-1939) esbozó con rigor y claridad las líneas generales de sus hipótesis y sus métodos.(*CR*) [via]

Book summary:
Viktor Frankl, author of the smash bestseller Man's Search for Meaning, offers a more straightforward alternative to traditional Freudian psychoanalysis: one's problems may be rooted in a failure to find a meaning in life beyond one's interior world. The basis for his interpretation, however, is not so straightforward. It lies in Frankl's existential analysis, plumbing for the reasons that people have repressed their consciences, their love, their creativity. By legitimizing a spiritual aspect of the human mind, Frankl has separated us definitively from the animal kingdom, but it is still up to each of us to rise to our human potential. [via]

In the spring of 1957, when he was eighty-one years old, C. G. Jung undertook the telling of his life story. At regular intervals he had conversations with his colleague and friend Aniela Jaffé, and collaborated with her in the preparation of the text based on these talks. On occasion, he was moved to write entire chapters of the book in his own hand, and he continued to work on the final stages of the manuscript until shortly before his death on June 6, 1961.

Book summary:
L'Interprétation du rêve (1900), enfin ! Il aura fallu plus d'un siècle pour que le public français puisse lire, dans une traduction sérieuse, l'ouvrage fondateur qui fit du rêve le hiéroglyphe des temps modernes. La clef freudienne des songes n'est plus celle de l'oniromancie : elle n'ouvre pas les portes de l'avenir mais entrouvre celle des configurations actuelles du désir inconscient. S'il eut été Joseph, Freud eut appris à Pharaon autre chose que les futures plaies d'Égypte.
L'élaboration de L'Interprétation du rêve fut solitaire, longue et pénible. Son enjeu, dans le parcours freudien, est décisif : faire la jonction entre les premiers travaux de psychopathologie consacrés aux névroses (Ruvres complètes : tome II ou Premières théories des névroses) et la psychologie de l'homme normal. Mais aussi, de façon plus discrète, révéler pour la première fois à l'humanité que l'histoire d'Rdipe n'est pas étrangère à ses rêves les plus secrets. Du symptôme au rêve, la voie est droite, "royale", vers la théorie de l'inconscient (chapitre VII). Freud fut déçu par l'accueil plutôt froid réservé à sa première grande Suvre. On est loin du beau scandale que déclenchera cinq années plus tard les Trois Essais sur la théorie sexuelle. Les développements de 1900 sont limpides mais denses ; leur langue est belle ce qui n'empêche pas la pensée qui les guide d'être rigoureuse, donc exigeante. L'importance des analyses métapsychologiques du dernier chapitre n'a d'abord été comprise, en Allemagne, que par très peu de lecteurs. En France, les négligences de la traduction de Meyerson (1926) n'ont pas simplifié la lecture de ce texte canonique. Félicitons-nous de pouvoir, grâce au travail scientifique de l'équipe des Presses Universitaires, lire L'Interprétation du rêve avec la fraîcheur d'une première fois. N'y voyons pas le réveil d'une momie mais bien plutôt un accès, enfin dégagé, aux profondeurs de la pyramide de l'âme humaine.
Freud rédigea, sous la pression de son éditeur, une présentation abrégée, très sommaire, de sa théorie du rêve : Sur le rêve (1901). --Emilio Balturi [via]

Book summary:
Does your spouse's need to alphabetically organize books on the shelves puzzle you? Do your boss's tsunami-like moods leave you exasperated? Do your child's constant questions make you batty? If you've ever wanted to change your mate, your coworkers, or a family member, then "Put down your chisel," advise David Keirsey and Marilyn Bates in this book of personality types. We are different for a reason, and that reason is probably more good than bad. Keirsey and Bates believe that not only is it impossible to truly change others (which they call embarking on a "Pygmalion project"), it's much more important to understand and affirm differences. Sounds easier than it is, you might say. Well, this book is a guide for putting an end to the Pygmalion projects in your life and starting on the path to acceptance.
For anyone acquainted with the ubiquitous Myers-Briggs personality test, Please Understand Me will be familiar territory--but gone over with a fine-toothed comb. And for the uninitiated, this book will be a quick introduction to personality typing the Myers-Briggs way--with a Jungian accent. After presenting a brief rundown of 20th-century psychology movements, Keirsey and Bates encourage you to take the 70-question "Keirsey Temperament Sorter," a sort of mini-Myers-Briggs test that places you in 1 of 16 personality types. Like the Myers-Briggs system, this test sorts your personality into groups of extraversion/introversion (E/I), sensation/intuition (S/N), thinking/feeling (T/F), and perceiving/judging (P/J). Unlike the Myers-Briggs system, Please Understand Me also presents four easy-to-remember temperament types--Dionysian (freedom first), Epimethean (wants to be useful), Promethean (desires power), and Apollonian (searches for self)--that underlie the 16 possible personalities identified by the test. The book then delves into a detailed analysis of each type, with sections on mates, children, and leaders. An appendix paints portraits of the 16 possible personality types.
Unless you're already a true personality-typing devotee, this book may seem a little esoteric, especially the somewhat "in" references to psychological theory that few laypeople will be likely to understand. But give it a chance and you may find that you'll begin to understand why you always know where to find Anna Karenina on the shelf (you have an ESTJ husband), why your boss is sarcastic one day and praises your achievements the next (she's an NF), and why knowing the reason that the sun comes up in the same place every day is important to your little one (he's Promethean). You may even find that once you accept quirks and ticks in others, they will understand you a little better, too. --Stefanie Durbin [via]

Even to this day, Peck remains at the forefront of spiritual psychology as a result of The Road Less Travelled. In the era of I'm OK, You're OK, Peck was courageous enough to suggest that "life is difficult" and personal growth is a "complex, arduous and lifelong task". His willingness to expose his own life stories as well as to share the intimate stories of his anonymous therapy clients creates a compelling and heartfelt narrative. [via]

In the era of I'm OK, You're OK, Peck was courageous enough to suggest that "life is difficult" and personal growth is a "complex, arduous and lifelong task". His willingness to expose his own life stories as well as to share the intimate stories of his anonymous therapy clients creates a compelling and heartfelt narrative. [via]

The Tipping Point: How Little Things Can Make a Big Difference

Book summary:
"The best way to understand the dramatic transformation of unknown books into bestsellers, or the rise of teenage smoking, or the phenomena of word of mouth or any number of the other mysterious changes that mark everyday life," writes Malcolm Gladwell, "is to think of them as epidemics. Ideas and products and messages and behaviors spread just like viruses do." Although anyone familiar with the theory of memetics will recognize this concept, Gladwell's The Tipping Point has quite a few interesting twists on the subject.
For example, Paul Revere was able to galvanize the forces of resistance so effectively in part because he was what Gladwell calls a "Connector": he knew just about everybody, particularly the revolutionary leaders in each of the towns that he rode through. But Revere "wasn't just the man with the biggest Rolodex in colonial Boston," he was also a "Maven" who gathered extensive information about the British. He knew what was going on and he knew exactly whom to tell. The phenomenon continues to this day--think of how often you've received information in an e-mail message that had been forwarded at least half a dozen times before reaching you.
Gladwell develops these and other concepts (such as the "stickiness" of ideas or the effect of population size on information dispersal) through simple, clear explanations and entertainingly illustrative anecdotes, such as comparing the pedagogical methods of Sesame Street and Blue's Clues, or explaining why it would be even easier to play Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon with the actor Rod Steiger. Although some readers may find the transitional passages between chapters hold their hands a little too tightly, and Gladwell's closing invocation of the possibilities of social engineering sketchy, even chilling, The Tipping Point is one of the most effective books on science for a general audience in ages. It seems inevitable that "tipping point," like "future shock" or "chaos theory," will soon become one of those ideas that everybody knows--or at least knows by name. --Ron Hogan [via]

Book summary:
"I am neither a theologian, nor a scholar learned in the history of religions, nor an anthropologist. Psychology is the only branch of learning in which I am particularly versed. To the psychologist the religious propensities of man must be at least as interesting as any other of the facts pertaining to his mental constitution. It would seem, therefore, as a psychologist, the natural thing for me would be to invite you to a descriptive survey of those religious propensities."
When William James went to the University of Edinburgh in 1901 to deliver a series of lectures on "natural religion," he defined religion as "the feelings, acts, and experiences of individual men in their solitude, so far as they apprehend themselves to stand in relation to whatever they may consider the divine." Considering religion, then, not as it is defined by--or takes place in--the churches, but as it is felt in everyday life, he undertook a project that, upon completion, stands not only as one of the most important texts on psychology ever written, not only as a vitally serious contemplation of spirituality, but for many critics one of the best works of nonfiction written in the 20th century. Reading The Varieties of Religious Experience, it is easy to see why. Applying his analytic clarity to religious accounts from a variety of sources, James elaborates a pluralistic framework in which "the divine can mean no single quality, it must mean a group of qualities, by being champions of which in alternation, different men may all find worthy missions." It's an intellectual call for serious religious tolerance--indeed, respect--the vitality of which has not diminished through the subsequent decades. [via]

Book summary:
In Blink, bestselling author Malcolm Gladwell revolutionizes the way we understand the world within. Blink is a book about how we think without thinking, about choices that seem to be made in an instant ¯in the blink of an eye¯ that actually aren't as simple as they seem. Why are some people brilliant decision makers, while others are consistently inept? How do our brains really work - in the office, in the classroom, in the kitchen, and in the bedroom? And why are the best decisions often those that are impossible to explain to others? [via]

Arguing that Western societies overvalue and over-rely on analytical skills that can be measured by IQ tests, this accessible and thorough study pinpoints a range of abilitiestypically overlooked in some culturesthat can be powerful factors in obtaining success and happiness. The book holds that emotional intelligence, comprised of impulse-control, self-motivation, empathy, and social competence, among others, can be as important as diagnostic intelligence when determining personal and professional achievement.

Argumentando que las sociedades occidentales sobrevaloran y dependen demasiado de aptitudes analíticas que se pueden medir con exámenes de CI, este accesible y riguroso estudio señala un ámbito de habilidadestípicamente ignorado en algunas culturasque pueden ser factores importantes en la obtención de éxito y felicidad. El libro mantiene que la inteligencia emocional, comprendiendo el control del impulso, la automotivación, la empatía y la competencia social, entre otras destrezas, pueda ser tan importante como la inteligencia diagnóstica cuando se determina el éxito personal y profesional.

People who possess high emotional intelligence succeed in careers and personal relationships. An outline of how parents, educators, and adults seeking self-improvement can cultivate emotional intelligence is included.

Las innovadoras estrategias que plantea ayudarán a erradicar la violencia y otros rasgos negativos que son la causa de muchos males que aquejan a nuestra familia y nuestra sociedad.

Ninguna teoria acerca del funcionamiento y estructura de la mente ha ejercido tanta influencia ni ha adquirido un estatus tan preponderante como la doctrina psicoanalitica, cuyas categorias y explicaciones no tardaron en convertirse en nucleo de un modo radicalmente nuevo de entender la realidad psiquica que ha marcado de forma notable el siglo xx. Dividida en tres volumenes en la presente edicion, LA INTERPRETACIoN DE LOS SUEnOS desempeno un papel decisivo dentro de ese enorme esfuerzo de subversion de valores y de innovacion teorica. Escrita entre 1895 y 1899, es la primera obra en que Sigmund Freud (1856-1939) esbozo con rigor y claridad las lineas generales de sus hipotesis y sus metodos. [via]

Book summary:
Diese Augen! So schwarz wie die schwärzesten Kohle-Stücke und so tief wie der tiefste Waldsee. Überhaupt sieht das kleine Mädchen auf dem Buchumschlag aus wie Schneewittchen. Oder wie ein Kind, das Schneewittchen liebt.
Denn alle Kinder lieben Märchen. Noch mehr: Alle Kinder brauchen Märchen. Dafür plädierte Bruno Bettelheim seit Mitte der siebziger Jahre mit großer Überzeugungskraft. Er mußte es wissen: Bettelheim, 1903 in Wien geboren, emigrierte 1939 in die USA, war dort Professor für Erziehungswissenschaften, Psychologie und Psychiatrie an der Universität Chicago und einer der bekanntesten Kinderpsychologen. Er starb 1990. In deutscher Sprache erschien sein vielfach rezipiertes Buch Kinder brauchen Märchen erstmals 1977.
Bettelheims Erfahrung nach finden Kinder aller Entwicklungsstufen mehr Gefallen an Volksmärchen als an jeder anderen Art von Kindergeschichten. Der Frage, warum das Märchen so bezeichnend für das Innenleben des Kindes ist, ging Bettelheim nach; dabei wurde ihm mehr und mehr klar, daß das Märchen in einem viel tieferen Sinn als jede andere Lektüre dort einsetzt, wo sich das Kind in seiner seelischen und emotionalen Existenz befindet.
Seine Analysen einzelner Märchen und die Einbettung in ein allgemeines Verständnis für das Kind sind mittlerweile zu einem Standardwerk geworden, das nicht nur für Pädagogen, sondern auch für Eltern aufschlußreich ist. Und wie wichtig die richtige Lektüre in der Kinderzeit ist, betonte bereits Friedrich Schiller: "Tiefere Bedeutung liegt in dem Märchen meiner Kinderjahre als in der Wahrheit, die das Leben lehrt." --Lilli Belek [via]
