In Man for Himself, Erich Fromm examines the confusion of modern women and men who, because they lack faith in any principle by which life ought to be guided, become the helpless prey forces both within and without.

Sigmund Freud revolutionized the way in which we think about ourselves.

UFOs are a myth, says David J. Halperin, but myths are real. The power and fascination of the UFO has nothing to do with space travel or life on other planets.

This is a book about UFOs that goes beyond believing in them or debunking them, to a fresh understanding of what they tell us about ourselves as individuals, as a culture, as a species.

"Le Moi et le Ça" est la dernière partie des "Essais". Tout l'édifice psychanalytique est ainsi érigé dès 1923, à travers ce texte théorique et accessible, qui n'en finit pas de questionner notre fonctionnement de pensée.

Jakes, to the motivational bestsellers and New Age seminars to the twelve-step programs and support groups of the recovery movement and to the rise of positive psychology and stress-reduction therapies, this idea - to think positively - is metaphysics morphed into mass belief. This is the biography of that belief.
