Social Media Mental Health

Many of the prices we pay seem to make little sense. We shell out $2.29 for a coffee at Starbucks when a nearly identical brew can be had at the corner deli for less than a dollar. We may be less willing to give blood for $25 than to donate it for free. Americans hire the cheap labor of illegal immigrants to fix the roof or mow the lawn and vote for politicians who promise to spend billions to keep them out of the country.

Human analysis differs from every other system of character analysis in that it classifies man into five types according to his biological evolution. No person achieves success or happiness when compelled to do what he naturally dislikes to do, since likes and dislikes stay with him to the grave. One of the biggest modern problems is that of helping men and women to discover and to capitalize on their inborn traits. Each of the five types is discussed in detail, with specific and detailed examples.

Rudolf Eisler stellte schon vor über 100 Jahren fest: "Die organisierten Massen haben zu allen Zeiten eine wichtige Rolle im Völkerleben gespielt, niemals aber in solchem Maße wie heute. Die unbewusste Wirksamkeit der Massen, die an die Stelle der bewussten Tatkraft der einzelnen tritt, bildet ein wesentliches Kennzeichen der Gegenwart." Eine Masse von Intellektuellen ist nicht besser als eine Masse von Proletariern. Eine Masse ist immer nur Gefühlen und einfachen Parolen zugänglich, niemals der Logik.

"Selbsthilfe ist wie ein Lichtschwertkampf. Im Film sieht's top aus, aber in echt hackt man sich garantiert was ab." Dieses Hörbuch ist eine humorvolle, schonungslose Abrechnung mit den Versprechungen der Self-Help-Industrie.
