This is the invisible battlefield of psychological games played by partners, bosses, friends, parents, and even strangers who know exactly how to bend situations their way. You feel the pressure and the manipulation, but no one ever taught you the rules of their game.

The Psychopath Next Door pulls back the curtain on one of the most misunderstood aspects of human behaviour: how charm can be used not to connect, but to control. This deeply insightful book explores how manipulative individuals — from everyday narcissists to those with psychopathic tendencies — use charm as a mask.

Nietzsche is a major figure in Western philosophy. His work is radical, sometimes violent, often ironic; it fascinates anyone bold enough to delve into it, exerted a profound influence on modern intellectual history, and covers a wide range of subjects. Nietzsche's writings borders on the poetic; his aphorisms are particularly well-known for conveying all the radicalism of his thinking in an intense but light, sometimes amusing manner.

In the 16th century, control of colonies and gold bullion gave Spain the edge; 17th-century Netherlands profited from trade and finance; 18th-century France gained from its larger population, while 19th-century British power rested on its primacy in the Industrial Revolution and its navy. In the era of Kennedy and Khrushchev, power resources were measured in terms of nuclear missiles, industrial capacity, and numbers of men under arms and tanks lined up ready to cross the plains of Eastern Europe. But the global information age of the 21st century is quickly rendering these traditional markers of power obsolete, remapping power relationships
