Психология влияния
Science and Practice (5th Edition)
Robert B. Cialdini - 2006-12-26 (впервые опубликовано в 1984)
Рейтинг Goodreads
«Психологию влияния» знают и рекомендуют в качестве одного из лучших учебных пособий по социальной психологии, конфликтологии, менеджменту все западные, а теперь уже и отечественные психологи. Книга Роберта Чалдини выдержала в США четыре издания, ее тираж превысил полтора миллиона экземпляров. Эта работа, подкупающая читателя легким стилем и эффектной подачей материала, является тем не менее серьезным трудом, в котором на самом современном научном уровне анализируются механизмы мотивации, усвоения информации и принятия решений.

@Michael_P_USA I am reading "The Sovereign Individual". It is one of those books that gets in your skull and rattles around. Although 1997, it is in no way a dated explanation of what is happening 25 years later.      источник

Мысли о природе массовых движений
Eric Hoffer - 2010-01-19 (впервые опубликовано в 1951)
Рейтинг Goodreads
A stevedore on the San Francisco docks in the 1940s, Eric Hoffer wrote philosophical treatises in his spare time while living in the railroad yards. The True Believer -- the first and most famous of his books -- was made into a bestseller when President Eisenhower cited it during one of the earliest television press conferences.Completely relevant and essential for understanding the world today, The True Believer is a visionary, highly provocative look into the mind of the fanatic and a penetrating study of how an individual becomes one.

@TonyClimate I think you would massively appreciate Eric Heller's, "The True Believer." It is about mass movements--how they start, where they get their fuel from (fanatics), and why people join in. The book climbed into my brain and camped out. Climate changers are a classic.      источник

For those who liked "The Real Anthony Fauci" or those who skipped it, I highly recommend "Sickening" by @DrJohnAbramson. Brilliant. Only weakness is he was too busy writing his book to notice the covid vax was more of the same. Be happy to chat, John.      источник

@verity_douglas I've seen a ton of Gates videos. He was like a teenager trying to explain the dent in the car. It was non-stop waffling. If you read a book or two on this, you'd see all the tells. Try "Spy the Lie".      источник
