The long-awaited first novel by the award-winning author of two impressive story collections explores the sinister side of desire in Bakersfield, California, circa 1959, when a famous director arrives to scout locations for a film about madness and murder at a roadside motel. Unfolding in much the same way that Hitchcock made Psycho—frame by frame, in pans, zooms, and close-ups—Mun~oz’s re-creation of a vanished era takes the reader into places no camera can go, venturing into the characters’ private thoughts, petty jealousies, and unrealized dreams. The result is a work of stunning originality.

Languages : en
Pages : 261
Book Description
NATIONAL BESTSELLER • From “the poet laureate of medicine" (The New York Times) and the author of the classic The Man Who Mistook his Wife for a Hat comes a fascinating exploration of the remarkable, unpredictable ways that our brains cope with the loss of sight by finding rich new forms of perception. “Elaborate and gorgeously detailed.... Again and again, Sacks invites readers to imagine their way into minds unlike their own, encouraging a radical form of empathy.” —Los Angeles Times With compassion and insight, Dr. Oliver Sacks again illuminates the mysteries of the brain by introducing us to some remarkable characters, including Pat, who remains a vivacious communicator despite the stroke that deprives her of speech, and Howard, a novelist who loses the ability to read. Sacks investigates those who can see perfectly well but are unable to recognize faces, even those of their own children. He describes totally blind people who navigate by touch and smell; and others who, ironically, become hyper-visual. Finally, he recounts his own battle with an eye tumor and the strange visual symptoms it caused. As he has done in classics like The Man Who Mistook his Wife for a Hat and Awakenings, Dr. Sacks shows us that medicine is both an art and a science, and that our ability to imagine what it is to see with another person's mind is what makes us truly human.

Opening to Darkness

Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 267
Book Description
“In darkness, we become devoted to clarity, courage, peace, and harmony. We discover the basic goodness of all humanity when we experience darkness together,” Zenju Earthlyn Manuel writes. “Life itself is a dark experience—a magical experience.” When you hear the word “darkness,” what does it make you feel—horror, danger, or maybe despair? We’ve been conditioned to fear and avoid darkness and blackness, yet Zenju Earthlyn Manuel challenges us to consider: “What if we chose to go deeper into darkness instead of running from it? What might we find there beyond our longing for light?” Drawing on the ancient wisdom found in Zen Buddhism and African and Native American indigenous traditions, Osho Zenju reveals how a change in perspective and increased wisdom can help us awaken to the sacredness of dark experiences in our lives—so we may experience a reality beyond avoidance and fear. Opening to Darkness will take you on a courageous journey into the mandala of darkness, a symbolic expression of your inner world, where you will travel through eight gateways that are inspired by Buddha’s Eightfold Path. Along your way, you will meet dark mothers from India, Nigeria, Japan, Haiti, and Dahomey, who both protect and destroy. Osho Zenju provides reflective inquiry, blessings, and meditations as you navigate your way through the vast depths of the unseen. It is through this spiritual pilgrimage that we learn how to: • Experience the wonders of life that can flourish only in the dark • Discover a collective doorway to healing and deep transformation • Awaken to the illusory nature of light versus dark • Illuminate false perceptions and beliefs of darkness • Heal the fear and anxiety around darkness and blackness Wrapped in gorgeous lyrical prose, Osho Zenju’s offerings provide deep soul relief and collective strength to embrace the dark—so we may reunite with the sacred process of darkness that flows through the canvas of our lives.

Dark Seduction and Persuasion Tactics

Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 117
Book Description
What kind of traits do charming people have? What are the psychological forces that lead some people to always choose the same lucky ones, while others will constantly be rejected and destined to live forever in the shadows? Did you fail to succeed in the attraction game? Do you struggle to understand how someone apparently mediocre, or less attractive than you, can actually have everything that they want? Most people today are sent out into society with a broken belief system, which they use to make choices that bring terrible results, both in life and relationships. Men have been conditioned to be the quintessential "good guy". They are trained to be overtly humble, kind and slaves to the belief that just "being themselves" is enough to attract and keep the partner of their dreams. Men are told to believe that conventional masculinity is toxic and to put women above their own interests, passions and purposes. This has led an entire generation of men to form very unhealthy attachments with women which, unfortunately, often constitute their only goal in life. These men spend their lives interacting with the opposite sex in absolute darkness, ignoring the fact that they are judged, rated, approved and rejected based on their unconscious reactions to female tests. If you had no idea that women challenge men - and why they have to - you are about to embark on a journey down a rarely travelled road - the more mysterious side of female psychology and the way women think. The playbook for women and life has changed, but most men still haven't figured it out. Do you want to be successful and level up in every area of your life? If so, this book explains: - The biological drives of men and women, and how to use them to their best advantage. - The fundamental principles of dark psychology and seduction, enabling you to become more charismatic and create instant confidence. - Effective body language techniques to make you irresistible. - Strategies to maximise your looks, your money, your social status and create an attractive lifestyle. - Understanding the various types of seducers and mastering identity shifting to seduce anyone. Powerful hacks of persuasion, manipulation and power strategies to gain respect and trust. - How to get genuine craving from a woman who wants to go out with you. - Everything you need to know to successfully maintain a long-term relationship. - Bonus chapter: How to become one of the top 20% of men or women who get it right when dating online. No matter what your background, knowledge of dark psychology will allow you to fulfil your destiny. I constantly see special people, being rejected, heartbroken and it hurts. I want to help you so you don't end up like all the other lonely guys out there. You will become the kind of person who can map anyone to get what she wants. So now, let me ask you a question. Where will you be in 30 days? Will you be stuck in the same old patterns and habits that have held you back for years? Will you still be struggling through the same mental attitudes and limiting beliefs that have stunted your growth and held you back from greatness throughout your life? Or will you be bold and finally understand the dark psychology of human behaviour? Will you become a man whose calendar is filled with exciting dates with beautiful women, epic adventures with friends and experiences you once thought were reserved only for the elite? Will you be a man capable of transforming his reality into a living masterpiece that breathes his creation? In light of this information, you have no choice. Read this book now! I ask of you one favour, however. Once you have read this book use the information and techniques with care. So, what are you waiting for? Swipe up, click the "Buy" button now and begin your journey!

200 Themes for Devising Theatre with 11–18 Year Olds
Author: Jason Hanlan
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 1350279668
Category : Performing Arts
Languages : en
Pages : 265
Book Description
A unique resource for drama teachers providing 200 stimuli and age-appropriate individual topics within those to help inspire and guide young people in devising performance. It contains useful information on devising techniques, workshops, schemes and lesson ideas for introducing devising and guidance on how to analyse the work and give feedback. Following on from his successful book 200 Plays for GCSE and A-Level Performance, author Jason Hanlan has once again solved one of drama teachers' most frequently encountered problems: how to unlock the best devised performance with their students. Devising as a group requires a level of collaboration, which - without a strong framework - often descends into wild flights of fancy and a myriad of dead ends. Excellent ideas can be lost or diluted in an often-awkward attempt to tie it all together to fit a narrative. The main body of this book is a unique numbered listing of 200 stimuli, designed to both inspire and focus the mind, with an example of a possible topic and 'ways in' that would be suitable for each level: "Civil rights" Each stimuli is given its own page dedicated to exploring its possibilities as a piece of devised theatre for different age groups, and offering suggestions for plays, films and books to look at; artefacts and images to examine; ideas to consider; and further research you can draw on.

Dark Psychology and Manipulation
Author: Christopher Kingler
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 117
Book Description
Are you tired of being prey to emotional predators and manipulators and want to learn the art of dark psychology in order to fully protect yourself? Is someone close to you a manipulator and have you thought about escaping their terrible claws? What kind of traits do malicious and exploitative people have? What are the psychological drives that lead people to act in ways that are contrary to social norms and harmful to others? Dark psychology can be seen as the study of the human condition, in relation to the psychological nature of the many different types of people who prey on others. The concept of prey does not always mean that an individual is harmed, but a branch of dark psychology is entirely devoted to this. In this field, it is also necessary to distinguish between healthy social control and psychological exploitation. There is a healthy mutual influence between most individuals, which is part of the give and take of constructive partnerships. In psychological conditioning, one individual is used for the benefit of another. Like it or not, there will always be people out there who will try to hurt you or try to use you for their own pleasure or benefit. This manual provides a cutting-edge distillation of some of the most influential concepts of dark psychology that are used throughout the world. Have you ever experienced these feelings in front of someone? - A feeling of fragility. - Generalised anxiety. - Physical and mental fatigue. - Decrease in interest. - Defending this ‘someone’ in front of friends and relatives. - Justification of the actions of this person. - Amnesia about certain episodes or details of conversations. - Blame for angering this person. - Thoughts about what was wrong with provoking such a violent reaction. Although there is still self-awareness, at this level the manipulated person will begin to waver and question what they think and feel. If you have mirrored yourself in any of the situations listed above, then you have been manipulated. Warning! The dark techniques within this book, if used in the manner indicated, will allow you to: ● Master the basics of persuasion and use it to become more charismatic. ● Identify the dark personalities that you will meet in your life and annihilate them. ● Acquire everything you need to know about powerful mind control techniques and tactics. ● Acquire powerful nuclear-level NLP hacks to persuade people to see or do things the way you want. ● Make use of powerful tips to improve your covert persuasion skills by mastering the art of brainwashing. ● Build an instant relationship with people and make them appreciate and trust you from the first meeting. ● Fully understand and comprehend deception and be able to protect yourself from the manipulative techniques of others. Please use them with care. In addition to offering personal protection, this book will give you the dark psychology skills to improve your emotional and mental health, along with other aspects of your life. This is one of the best gifts you can give yourself. What are you waiting for? Scroll to the top of the page and click buy now!
