null

Jeffrey Masson

Libido Dominandi

E. Michael Jones

Libido Dominandi explores the sexual revolution from 1773 to the present, arguing that sexual liberation was used as a tool for social control.

Propaganda

Edward Bernays

In 'Propaganda,' Edward Bernays lays out his vision for using propaganda to influence various aspects of society, including government, politics, art, science, and education. The book discusses the 'conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses' as an essential element in democratic society. Bernays argues that this manipulation is carried out by an 'invisible government' of professional propagandists who shape public thoughts, values, and responses. The book explores the psychological and social science basis of propaganda and its application in different fields, highlighting its potential for both beneficial and detrimental uses[2][3][5].

The interpretation of dreams

Sigmund Freud

In this seminal work, Freud introduces his theory of the unconscious with respect to dream interpretation and discusses what would later become the theory of the Oedipus complex. He argues that dreams are forms of 'wish fulfillment' and are influenced by unconscious forces and censorship. The book differentiates between the manifest content and latent content of dreams and explores the mechanisms of dream formation, including displacement and the 'dream-work'. Freud uses his own dreams and those of his patients to illustrate his theories, providing a deeply personal and insightful look into the human psyche[1][3][5].

Hollywood Babylon

Kenneth Anger

Originally published in French in 1959 and later in English in 1965, 'Hollywood Babylon' by Kenneth Anger is a notorious book that delves into the scandals, tragedies, and darker aspects of Hollywood's Golden Age. The book includes accounts of drug deaths, rape and manslaughter trials, and other notorious incidents involving Hollywood stars. Anger, who was part of the Hollywood scene as a child actor and later as an underground filmmaker, provides a perceptive yet often speculative history of Hollywood's underbelly.

12 Rules for Life

An Antidote to Chaos

Jordan B Peterson

In this book, Jordan B. Peterson offers twelve profound and practical rules for living a meaningful life. He argues that happiness is a fleeting and unpredictable goal, and instead, people should seek meaning as a defense against the suffering inherent in life. The book is divided into chapters, each representing one of the twelve rules, such as 'Stand up straight with your shoulders back,' 'Treat yourself like someone you are responsible for helping,' and 'Pursue what is meaningful (not what is expedient).' Peterson draws on examples from his clinical practice, personal life, cutting-edge psychology, philosophy, and ancient myths to provide a guide for personal improvement and coping with adversity.
