In Just Hear Me Out, philosopher Colin Marshall describes a persuasive method that is both effective and ethical. Rather than share a flurry of tips for how to win friends and influence people, Marshall invites us to take up persuasion as fundamentally civil work, good both for our conscience and our communities.

In Hauntings, James Hollis considers how we are all governed by the presence of invisible forms - spirits, ghosts, ancestral and parental influences, inner voices, dreams, impulses, untold stories, complexes, synchronicities, and mysteries - that move through us through history. He offers a way to understand them psychologically, examining the persistence of the past in influencing our present, conscious lives and noting that engagement with mystery is what life asks of each of us. From such engagements, a deeper, more thoughtful, more considered life may come.

Der Code des Bösen. Es entlädt sich in spektakulären Verbrechen, abscheulichen Gräueltaten, Gewalt, Sadismus, Vergewaltigung, Schul-Amokläufen oder sogenannten "Familientragödien". Doch wie entsteht das Böse? Und: Existiert es in jedem von uns? Der Gerichtspsychiater Reinhard Haller hat sich auf die Suche nach den Wurzeln des Bösen begeben.

If you were the kid who never wanted to go to summer camp, if you prefer spending time with friends one-on-one than going to parties, and if you often engage in acts of silent rebellion against group norms and traditions, you are very likely an otrovert.
