It presents a sort of philosophy, a state of mind or psychology for managing conflicts and winning battles. It is closely tied to the philosophy of Taoism, which follows the Tao or “The Way”.  This short book covers most elegantly the strategies that one ought to bear in mind for the defeat of the enemy. ☕ Donate a coffee ⭐ Support on Patreon ━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ⌛ Timestamps (0:00) Introduction (2:23) Chapter 1.

George Orwell depicts what a world could possibly look like under an authoritarian regime in his dystopian novel 1984, coining neologisms such as Big Brother, Thoughtcrime and Doublethink.     Published in 1949, it remains highly influential in popular culture, and you have probably heard about the term Orwellian before.   However, it is often misinterpreted, especially in social media, politics, and news. The term includes the manipulative and deceptive use of language to brainwash and control the society.   It is no wonder that it is the most widely used adjective derived from the name of a modern writer, even more common than Kafkaesque or Machiavellian. Orwell was a heavy opponent of totalitarian regimes, especially after what had happened in Nazi Germany and Communist Russia.  War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength.  Who controls the past controls the future. Who controls the present controls the past. ☕ Donate a coffee ⭐ Support on Patreon

The shadow can be described as the unknown dark side of the personality. The shadow forms part of a projection, you deny the existence of all the things you despise in yourself, while attributing them to others.

To become conscious of it, you must recognise the dark aspects of your personality as present and real.  That is how you can achieve becoming a better version of yourself, with the integration those elements of your psyche that have been repressed and have thus, formed your shadow. Which can be mitigated through shadow-work.   ☕ Donate a coffee ⭐ Support on Patreon
