Mind in Motion
An eminent psychologist offers a major new theory of human cognition: movement, not language, is the foundation of thoughtWhen we try to think about how we think, we can't help but think of words. Indeed, some have called language the stuff of thought. But pictures are remembered far better than words, and describing faces, scenes, and events defies words. Anytime you take a shortcut or play chess or basketball or rearrange your furniture in your mind, you've done something remarkable: abstract thinking without words. In Mind in Motion, psychologist Barbara Tversky shows that spatial cognition isn't just a peripheral aspect of thought, but its very foundation, enabling us to draw meaning from our bodies and their actions in the world. Our actions in real space get turned into mental actions on thought, often spouting spontaneously from our bodies as gestures. Spatial thinking underlies creating and using maps, assembling furniture, devising football strategies, designing airports, understanding the flow of people, traffic, water, and ideas. Spatial thinking even underlies the structure and meaning of language: why we say we push ideas forward or tear them apart, why we're feeling up or have grown far apart. Like Thinking, Fast and Slow before it, Mind in Motion gives us a new way to think about how--and where--thinking takes place.

If you ask yourself these questions, the answer is: The Art of Psychological Warfare. Psychological warfare has existed since the beginning of time.

With the progress of time, up to the present day, the art of war has become increasingly subtle and difficult to identify. Since the mid-twentieth century, great advances in our knowledge of the most effective methods of mass communication and persuasion have been visible in a wide range of professional fields, including journalism, marketing, public relations, interrogation and public opinion studies. However, these successes have also had troubling implications: propaganda, subversion, intimidation, disinformation, large-scale lies, deception, counter-insurgency, brainwashing and manipulation of public opinion in which our individual freedom of thought is constantly under attack. This manual provides a cutting-edge distillation of some of the most influential concepts of dark psychology, techniques honed over the centuries by politicians, strategists, speakers, performers and sellers around the world.This manual can be in your hands.
