How to win friends and influence people by Dale Carnegie

Another very interesting psychological position.
This book explains that in order to change other people's behaviour, first you have to start off with changing your own.
It teaches the reader about how to become a better communicator, leader and overall a better person.
The book talks about a few crucial rules that one has to adapt to in order to change for the better.
Rule #1 Do not criticise, condemn or complain
Rule #2 Giver honest and sincere appreciation
Rule #3 Arouse in the other person an eager want
Now, here are the 5 ways that help others to like you:
-SMILE this is probably one of the most cliche techniques, but not many use it, however when put in work it really does amazing things.
-BECOME GENUINELY INTERESTED IN OTHER PEOPLE- what is meant by that is that people love to be in the center of attention- in other words they love being listened to.
So be present when someone else is speaking and more importantly show it! People will notice and appreciate it.
-MAKE THE OTHER PERSON FEEL IMPORTANT- this is very similar to the 2nd rule above-basically be present and be there when necessary, it isn't about big things, but small things or favours really can make you feel more likeable.
-REMEMBER SOMEONE'S NAME- people love to be called out by their name, it makes them feel important and noticed.
-TALK IN TERMS OF THE OTHER PERSON'S INTERESTS
simply listen carefully to what the other person has to say and tailor your speech to that particular person's interest- speak 'common language'.
Last, but not least some crucial rules to win people to your way of thinking:
-begin in a friendly way
-if you made a mistake, admit it
-show respect to other person's opinion, even if you do not agree with it
-avoid arguments
-let someone else feel that the idea was theirs
-try to see from someone else's point of view
Now I could keep writing all these rules and ideas down and down they are as simple! You only need to think a little and eventually when in doubt read a book that will show you the right path.

This book is so relatable.
It was written by a girl who had undergone through so many events in her teenage years/ early 20s which some of them were very fun, some perhaps not so much- There were so many of them that she's decided to write a book. Mostly in this book Dolly talks about her experience with- as the title says different people, parties, love etc. She talks about how she learned on her own mistakes and how to avoid certain situations in order to lead a more peaceful life, apart from that the book also contains of thousands of funny stories from her life.
I think that it would be a great choice for a teenager.

This was my second book from Robert Greene and likewise in 'The art of seduction' I noticed some similar patterns in terms of writing style.
As the title says the book is about 48 crucial rules that one should obey to in order to be a successful person in all areas in life. First we see 'The rule', then there is a brief explanation of what the rule actually means and what does it try to connote.
Next, the reader is being provided with quite a long story (Although that depends on the rule) to 'draw' a picture and give the idea of this rule in a real-life scenario.
Overall, I think that it is a great choice-
However, it is a very serious and political kind of book so I think that it is not necessarily for everyone.
Apart from that the book also teaches us a lot Psychological tricks and helps to avoid common mistakes when making new friends or just communicating with people.

I took an 11-hour long course from the Stanford University that concerned the topic of The Psychology of business.
In this course I was being taught a lot of very diversed content.
In the 1st week I focused on Organizations.
In the 2nd week I focused on Decisions on Rational and rule-based procedures.
In the 3rd week I focused on Decisions by Dominant Coalitions.
In the 4th week I focused on Organised Anarchy.
In the 5th week I focused on Organizational Learning.
During the 6th week I focused on Organizational Culture.
In the 7th week I focused on Resource Dependency Theory.
In the 8th week I focused on Networks, whereas in the 9th week I focused on Institutional Theory.
In the 10th week I focused on Population ecology.
At the very end of the course I took an hour long test that consisted of questions from all 10 weeks, apart from that at the very end of every module I also had a test from that particular topic.

Paradox of choice was also a very interesting book to read.
It showed how damaging it is to have
too much freedom-you can simply get lost in it and don't know do you really want.
The book taught me that Americans are the #1 biggest online shopping consumers in the world, also  the idea of 'American Freedom' is rather a downfall than something good nowadays.
They became so convinient that in order to buy drugs you don't even have to get out of your car nor house! Almost every drug store in the USA has a drive-through like KFC or McDonald's so all you have to do is just roll up your window or you can order drugs straight to your house.This idea seemingly seems cool, but when you really think about it...It
really scares me, because I believe that with this kind of mindset the world might end up in a bad place, because everything will become so easy and convenient that people eventually won't have to leave their houses to go for a walk with their dogs, because perhaps someone or something
else will do it for them.
'Learning to choose is hard.Learning to choose well in a world of unlimited possibilities is harder still, perhaps too hard.'-Barry Schwartz.
This quote is very relatable to the book, the more options we have the harder it is for us to choose, because when the choice is limited to an extent it is easier to tell between one and another, but when the choice is unlimited you really can get lost in it and in the end be unsatisfied with your final choice.
But personally I think that it will go even more far-what I mean here is that the world moves on and becomes more modern every single day and obviously-capitalism.
Other important companies will do anything to increase their economic profit and they will even make more and more choices-in terms of everything.Now, I think that in order to escape this madness of unlimited choices one will have to be smart enough to be able to tell what is wrong and what is right for them and not get inspired by others, just do their thing and than they will be good.

The dictionary of Body Language by Joe Navarro

The dictionary of Body Language by Joe Navarro

# data[].attributes.body
A book that was written by a former FBI agent.
The book does not really focus on Navarro himself, but rather on the hidden cues of the body language!
Long story short,
Navarro was hired into FBI at a very young age,I believe that he was the youngest one to work in the industry like ever! His passion in life was to observe others-and you can pretty much say that he spent his entire life analysing other people's body language to the point where he eventually wrote a book about it.His job at FBI was to conduct and supervise interrogations of criminals, vandals ,spies and very dangerous men in general and all via non-verbal communication!
The most amazing part about this book is that Navarro provides us with over 400 different body codes, including subconscious and conscious cues from head to toe! After reading this book one will be able to read someone's true intentions towards them.

I found this book by accident at a book store in Barcelona and it geniuely interested me, not the cover, but the binary opposition of the title: 'Rich Dad and Poor Dad'.
I certainly enjoyed how the book tells a story of a guy (who by the way is also the author of this book) who grew up with 'Two father-figures'-one of them (The poor dad) was a biological dad of his, whereas the 'Rich dad' was a father of a friend of Kiyosaki's.So as not to lead you into a wrong way of thinking-the poor dad was actually a very smart and educated man! He got a very good degree at somewhat decent University and overall was a very wise man.
Although he had the 'Hustle,Work and Grind til you die'
kind of mindset.He believed that the only way to be successful in life is via good grades and good University degree.
Though he struggled financially in life.
Whereas the other dad-The rich dad as mentioned above was a father of a great friend of Kiyosaki's.He had quite a similar work past to Kiyosaki's biological father, except with a turn.He dropped out of college over 8 times, because at first he had the exact same mindset about education, work,money and life, but than he got some kind of spiritual awakening and decided that from some moment on the money will work for him-he changed the rules of the game.
And lucky for him with a little help of luck, hope and hard work he made it big and became a millionaire.
The book also teaches about very serious life mistakes that one is exposed to making in their youth-but primarily it teaches how to get pass through some hard obstacles in life.
It also teaches how different groups of people give value
materialistic things in life. (For instance: What the Rich thinks an asset is vs. What the Poor thinks an asset is.
Or what does The Rich perceive as a liability vs. What does The poor percieve as a liability.) It was fascinating for me to see how people give literally the same things different values.
Furthermore, the book also teaches how to never be dependent on one source of income-that you should always have options (this concerns everything in life by the way)
Because when you bet a 100 on something and it fails you are left with nothing, but when you have multiple sources
and one of them fails you still have other 'working' options.
Overall, a very interesting book.Especially for people who have interest in Psychology/Business or Economics.

Breaking Bad

I am currently finishing the last season of this series and honestly I believe that it is one of the best ones ever to exist in the cinematographic history.

Long story short the series is mainly about Walter White (the guy on the right) and Jessie Pinkman (the guy on the left) the whole action takes place in Albuquerque,New Mexico.Mr.White is a chemistry teacher at a local state school, whereas Pinkman is his former student who is known for the distribution of marijuana.One day White finds out that he has a lung cancer and he refuses to do chemotheraphy, however after his wife Skyler White and his low-key handicapped son (Walter Junior) with a help of White's brothers-in-law (Hank and Marie Schrader) Walter finally convinces himself to take part in the chemotherapy.
As it turned out, after the procedure his cancer decreased to almost 80% which was a miracle, however in the meantime Walt had gotten himself into a very dark place with Pinkman.When the situation about Walt's health was still uncertain and his assumption was that he is going to die anyway therefore his time is limited,he had decided to partner up with his former student Jessie Pinkman and they started cooking methamphetamine, at first Walter was the cook and Jessie was the the distributor of the product, however within every new batch the meth kept getting better and better to the point where its purity achieved over 99.1%.Later on Walter goes by the name of ''Heisenberg'' in the drug industry,due to chemotherapy he looses all his hair and undergoes through character development.He goes from being this drudge to a badass villain who everyone is scared of.
Later on he receives an offer to be cook for Gustavo Fring, one of the biggest undercover drug distributors in the US who owns a chain of Mexican fast-food stores called ''Los Pollos Hermanos.''He is very low-key yet very dangerous.
Walt makes the deal with Fring including Pinkman as well.
They go to work at a laundry, though there is a hidden professional laboratory in the basement where they cook meth with Pinkman.
Due to many complications people get killed, the atmosphere becomes very tense. Fring wants to go after Walt now.He wants to kill him and hire Pinkman to be his cook, there is also another cook who used to work with Walt in the lab for a while and he knows the recipe for the perfect meth as well.Walt has a gun pointed to his head and is just about to be killed when he starts dictating the 3rd's cook adress and says that Pinkman is currently at his place and is about to kill him.Mike (Fring's former worker) immediately calls Fring, but it's already too late, because the 3rd cook gets killed and now only White and Pinkman are left with the knowledge about recipe for just the ideal meth.Things get very complicated between Walt and Jessie.Gus manipulates both of them in such a way so they would hate each other to the point where they would kill themselves and it actually almost happens, but almost so close yet so far...The relation between White and Pinkman is very weird,because they had the chance to poison/kill each other multiple times yet they never did.They have formed this amazing bond with each other that no matter how much anger they have in themselves neither of them will never dare to kill each other.It's almost like love, but not really.
Then Fring and his team takes Pinkman to Mexico, because he received a multiple million dollar deal to be a cook in Gustavo's ''Former Drug Team''.
It turns out that Fring has some unfinished business with these men and in the past they shot in the head Fring's bestfriend right in front of him,so years later he pulls the biggest revenge on them by poisoning almost the entire mafia (including himself) with a ''Gift drink'' however, right after drinking the poison Fring goes to the bathroom and pukes it to get rid of the toxins from his organism and he actually makes it out live, barely but still.
Now there was only one of them left.His name was Sector Salamanca, but he was severely paralysed and was in the US.The only way to communicate with him was via ring bell.
Fring and his team including Pinkman go back do Albuquerque and visit Salamanca in retirement home, next he tells him everything that he did to his family and admits that the reason why he has been paralysed for so many years was, because Fring kept poisoning him to the point where he would become a 'plant', so he would suffer.
However the relation between Fring and White is very tense and they are both after each other now,finally Walt sneaks into the retirement home where Salamanca is at and offers him an outstanding deal from which they will both profit.
Because Salamanca is a plant and soon is about to die anyway and his biggest goal in life is to kill Fring and so is Walt's,Walt constructs a bomb that he glues into Salamanca's wheel chair and then when Fring vists him to kill him by fully poisoning him, he starts ringing the little bell very aggressively, but it's already too late for Fring to leave, because the bomb explodes killing both Salamanca and him.
Now,Walt's brother-in-law Hank realizes that actually the Heisenberg he has been chasing this whole time was Walt.
He wants to inform the police department, but finally he doesn't, because he needs to have an acoustic or written proof first because no-one would believe him.
He tries to convince Skyler (Walt's wife) to rat on him and admit to the guilt of Walt, but despite multiple attempts she keeps her mouth shout.Then, Skyler and Walter come up with an idea of making a video explaining that Hank is the psycho one in the family and they both attempt to blackmail him so he would leave the case.
Next,Walt is being found at the desert by Shrader nearby the place where he has 80$ dollar cash hidden, but than Walt informs his 'mafia friends' that he will need support,because he is about to be arrested, next he overthinks it and comes to a conclusion that what he did was wrong,because his 'friends' know no limits, are radical and extremely crazy.
They free Walt from the DEA agents and Hank as well as the other agent get killed.
They've also stolen 70$ million dollars from him and left him with only the 10 remaining,but after some time Walt decides to retaliate on them, by coming to their spot, because they also took Jessie.Walter comes to their hole with some 'new business offer',but actually he had a loaded gun machine departament in his trucks as soon as he would click the 'open car' button the guns would hop out from his truck and start shooting until the magazine ran out.
and that's exactly what he did, though he knocked jessie to the floor protecting him with his own body and by doing so got shot and died.Though Jessie got the opportunity to escape before the cops came and so-obviously he used it.
The series ends simultaneously on both scenes-Walt laying down on the floor being shot and Jessie screaming ,laughing and crying from happiness that he made it out live.
He's in a car, getting the hell out of that place and that's where the series end. However, there is a continuation of this particular ending scene in the movie 'El Camino' starring Aron Paul (Jessie Pinkman from Breaking Bad) it explains what happened after the 'escaping scene' and also how he was treated by the mafia while being held captive.
Furthermore, there is another series concerning Breaking

The Art of Seduction by Robert Greene.

The title of the book seemingly might seem a bit intimidating,however once you start reading it you'll get really into it.
The book is split into 2 parts.
The first part describes the 9 types of seducers:
-The Siren: An irresistible woman who creates the ultimate fantasy for men.
-The Rake: The type that makes you forget about the past and the future,within Rake you live in the current moment.
-The Ideal Lover: The ideal lover will read you like a book, find out about your broken dreams or traumas from your childhood and will provide you with them by creating the ultimate seduction and making you feel like a child again.
-The Dandy: The Dandy makes her very own rules, despising all the social norms.
She creates this completly new world of freedom where she lures the victim.
-The Natural: The natural brings back to our mind the little kid we once were.She does exciting and perhaps dumb things, primarily she is being very natural within her acts.This type attracts immature victims, who lack something from their childhood and have this urge to experience something reckless yet exciting.
-The Coquette: A very manipulative and hurtful type.She attract us by showing the best version of herself by all aspects, just so we would fall for her.Once we show affection towards her, she turns into evil, she suddenly becomes unavailable just so we would show her that we care more and once we fall for her trick gain she becomes even more unavailable which makes her extremely desirable.
-The Charmer:The charmer focuses on her victim more than on herself.
Her target is to make the vicim  feel important and heard.
-The Charismatic: She is bold and dashing.
She has a very attracting and attractive vibe to herself.
-The Star: She is a crazy woman who will make you want to leave everything behind and follow her to experience a thrilling journey that will make you forget about all of your life problems, she'll turn your life from black and white to colorful.

Now that I have introduced you to the 9 types of seducers,I will provide you with the 24 rules of seduction.

1.Choose the right victim
2.Create a false sense of security-approach indirectly
3.Send mixed signals
4.Appear to be an object of desire-create triangles
5.Create a need-stir anxiety and discontent
6.Master the art of insinuation
7.Enter their spirit
8.Create temptation
9.Keep them in suspense-What's coming next?
10.Use the demonic power of words to sow confusion
11.Pay attention to detail
12.Poeticize your presence
13.Disarm through strategic weakness and vulnerability
14.Confuse desire and reality
15.Isolate the victim
16.Prove yourself
17.Effect a regression
18.Stir up the transgressive and taboo
19.Use spiritual Rules
20.Mix pleasure with pain
21.Give them space to fall-the pursuer is pursued
22.Use physical lures
23.Master the art of the bold move
24.Beware the aftereffects

What's more to it, is that within every rule the book provided a little 3-7 page story to understand the character a bit better which I found very helpful and a page or two dedicated to ''The key to seduction'' where it provided how to step by step achieve what we want.
I also like how the book teaches to manipulate people to bring us what we want, not only in a ''seductive'' manners, but also in manners that can be helpful in life.

I reckon that the greatest myth about Seduction is that people think that it is all about the looks.
Actually, SEDUCTION IS ALL ABOUT THE MINDSET.
Obviously, looks do matter a lot, but mindset is everything at this point.Without the knowledge and rules you will never be a good seducer, despite what you look like.
