Ett av samhällets största problem är missbruk. Idag vet vi betydligt mer om hur ett urspårat missbruk påverkar en människas hjärna, men vad är det egentligen som leder fram till ett missbruk? Och finns det sätt att motverka att någon fastnar i träsk av droger och alkohol? I djupa intervjuer med missbrukare och forskare utformar vetenskapsjournalisten Miki Agerberg missbrukets dynamik – och vad för eventuella lösningar det finns för människor och anhöriga som tvingas leva med det dagligen.

John Mappin is a sentinel of sovereignty, a modern mythmaker, and, willingly or not, a hero at history’s crossroads. From his defiant refusal to turn Camelot into a migrant-processing hotel to his prophetic wager on Donald Trump’s rise, Mappin has become a lightning rod for global battles; nationhood versus globalism, courage versus conformity, truth versus the psychiatric priesthood of lies. His close relationship with Charlie Kirk, his friendship with Candace Owens, and his associations with figures such as Tucker Carlson and Nigel Farage show how his influence reaches across continents.

Le monde a tellement changé que les jeunes doivent tout réinventer. Nos sociétés occidentales ont déjà vécu deux révolutions : le passage de l'oral à l'écrit, puis de l'écrit à l'imprimé. Comme chacune des précédentes, la troisième, tout aussi décisive, s'accompagne de mutations politiques, sociales et cognitives. Ce sont des périodes de crises. De l'essor des nouvelles technologies, un nouvel humain est né : Michel Serres le baptise "Petite Poucette" - clin d'œil à la maestria avec laquelle les messages fusent de ses pouces.

Otage du cirque démocratique, Monsieur Moyen vote, râle, consomme, renonce. Il se résigne à son destin confisqué, à sa nation défigurée. Plutôt fuir qu’affronter ses responsabilités. Plutôt ramper que se battre. Le mal gagne donc par forfait.

Ha introdotto la presenza delle masse nella storia, la nozione di opinione pubblica e la produzione del consenso, aprendo la strada alla psicologia sociale e diventando un riferimento per la sociologia della comunicazione. Alla base, un'intuizione geniale: la logica dei comportamenti collettivi è totalmente diversa dalla psicologia individuale. Le folle sono una forza distruttiva, priva di visione d'insieme e indisciplinata, quindi facilmente orientabile.

From the schoolyard to the workplace, from political rallies to social media feeds, we are constantly influenced by the groups around us. Sometimes that influence is benign, even beneficial—it helps communities function, ensures cooperation, and keeps social life flowing smoothly. At other times, it can lead to silence in the face of injustice, blind obedience to authority, or the chilling grip of groupthink. Why We Conform explores this paradox in depth, revealing why the desire to fit in runs so deep, how it shapes our daily lives, and what happens when it goes too far.

A sociologist who has been tracking the polarization of higher education for twenty years reveals how students are navigating the campus culture wars, what they wish their professors would do differently, and why they’re actually afraid of saying what they think. “Anyone who wants to...

It Never Ends with Us is a profound exploration of love, trauma, and the illusion of closure. Where most stories stop at survival, this one begins—tracing the invisible echoes of abuse and the emotional residue that lingers long after the last goodbye.

For centuries, people have argued about whether humans are moral animals—good or bad, cooperative or competitive, altruistic or selfish. The debates continue today, dressed up in the language of modern science. In this book, Jonathan R. Goodman makes the case for synthesizing the two sides. Drawing on insights from anthropology, evolutionary biology, and philosophy, he argues that rather than being fundamentally cooperative or competitive, we are capable of being both—and of exploiting each other when there is an opportunity to do so.

Unable to contain himself, Rick pitched Art: move back to Wausau and start a business selling shoes. Art said, "What are you, an idiot? Selling shoes? How is this even worth trying?" This is the story of Eastbay, a startup tale unlike most you've heard. First it was $5,000 worth of track...

Este libro sobre lo grande, lo pequeño y la relación entre ambos nos entrega una innovadora respuesta a las grandes preguntas sobre la existencia humana. El tamaño no es solo una propiedad más de lo que nos rodea, sino que puede cambiar nuestra forma de verlo absolutamente todo.

In the past, one of the most cherished American values was the truth. When people dealt with dilemmas, issues, opinions, and decisions, their first question was “What is the truth in this situation?” Now people are concerned only with what they think, feel, and want. We have lost touch with the importance of truth in our lives. This reality has resulted in a society in abject turmoil and confusion.

Few things feel better than early love. We feel like we are flying. At that time, Nature adds its endorsement and accelerant to make sure survival concerns do not preempt going through the actions that have a high likelihood of making children. This force—the Medulla Obligation—is a compilation of hormones and romantic notions meant to enslave us to loves duties.
