Transactional Analysis (TA) refers to a wide-ranging set of theories about the human personality. It provides an unambiguous and logical framework within which we can understand and analyze ourselves―our motives, our behavior, and our interactions with others. The principles of TA can be applied universally―at home, in the workplace, at clubs and restaurants, at sporting events, in social occasions, and so on. TA was originally developed by the American psychoanalyst Dr Eric Berne in the 1950s. After his untimely death in 1970, the existing TA theory was substantially enlarged and added to by a host of other illustrious contributors.

Free Download Curious Minds: The Power of Connection (Audiobook)
English | ASIN: B0CLWC9DH5 | 2023 | 10 hours and 18 minutes | M4B@64 kbps | 287 MB
Author: Perry Zurn, Dani S. Bassett
Narrator: Daniel Henning

Curious about something? Google it. Look at it. But is curiosity simply information seeking? According to this exhilarating, genre-bending book, what’s left out of the conventional understanding of curiosity are the wandering tracks, the weaving concepts, the knitting of ideas, and the thatching of knowledge systems-the networks, the relations between ideas and between people. Curiosity, say Perry Zurn and Dani Bassett, is a practice of connection: it connects ideas into networks of knowledge, and it connects knowers themselves, both to the knowledge they seek and to each other. Investigating what happens in a curious brain, they offer an accessible account of the network neuroscience of curiosity. The book performs the very curiosity that it describes, inviting listeners to participate-to be curious with the book and not simply about it.

Author: Jeff Tarrant
Narrator: Jeff Tarrant

A scientific, brain-based approach that provides an understanding of psychic abilities, spirit communication, and energy healing. Jeff Tarrant was fascinated by the paranormal as a child but then his training as a neuropsychologist turned him into a hardcore skeptic. If something could not be reliably and consistently demonstrated in the laboratory, then it wasn’t real. These rigid ideas were gradually worn away as he repeatedly witnessed and experienced things that simply should not be possible-telekenesis, clairvoyance, telepathy, mediumship, energy healing, and more…. This book follows his journey of studying, interviewing, and testing a wide variety of mediums, psychics, and healers as he tries to determine what is going on in their brains when they engage in these supernormal abilities. Listeners will get to know these gifted people, exploring what makes them tick and discovering firsthand evidence that this stuff is real.

English | ISBN: 103228174X | 2023 | 266 pages | EPUB, PDF | 4 MB + 19 MB
The previously unpublished memoir of social worker Charles Schermerhorn offers new and eye-opening source material pertaining to the epicenter of the early Cold War: northern Greece. This book brings this memoir to light to enrich the discussion about the Greek Civil War and the late 1940s, through the highly perceptive views of a firsthand observer of the turmoil. Schermerhorn’s writings speak most compellingly to the power of human agency amid adverse sociopolitical circumstances. His memoir takes a child-centered and social-historical approach to controversial events, filling a great void in our knowledge.
