Irresistible Obsession by Deepak Gupta Pdf

Obsession pulls us towards our loving work. Discipline pushes us to do anything. Discipline is overrated. It feels tough, powered & pressured on our routine while true obsession is underrated. Obsession is merely a play, a great pleasurable play from our heart & soul. It doesn't need any perfect routine & our entire life is dedicated to it unknowingly. Discipline is visible with time. If you seek it you can't ever find it. Obsession makes time invisible. It may not be the best of the world but can give you the best feeling of the world. If you often tell yourself to be disciplined then you aren't devoting entirely to your work. It's like telling a gloomy man to become contented. What if I told you to stop being sad when you are sad! So, I can't say to myself, to be disciplined when I'm in my comfort zone. The most intense world's best personalities like Nikola Tesla, Plato, Aristotle, William Shakespeare, Pablo Picasso, Vincent Van Gogh, Franz Kafka, Alexander the Great, Alfred Hitchcock, Stephen Hawking, Confucius, Michael Jackson or even Diogenes weren't focused on being disciplined but their obsession & that became irresistible as soon as they loved it. Diogenes once said, there is a false love that will make you something you are not. Suppose you were the last person on this earth, who would you impress? The world is divided between two kinds of personalities, consumed and energetic. If you observe, you will find a lot of people doing arduous work to live out their livelihood. They all feel their work tough and that's what our elders teach us; do the hard work. We all feel work is a burden and we have to do it even when we don't like it. What's the real secret of being energetic? Of course, energy can be faked. Truly, energy can be faked for so long until your mind bursts out and you feel extremely dissatisfied within your soul. Now, how to win the hearts of the audience? How to create the masterpiece that makes you eternal for life? Can you really make your life exciting by yourself? History is often remembered by artists and it's a great myth that we aren't artists. Everyone is an artist. It's not only the painters, writers, directors or musicians who are artists but everyone. If you aren't using your artistic capabilities in your work, you are pushing yourself slowly to get consumed. Irresistible Obsession, the book has carefully crafted thirty well-researched practical techniques for automatic discipline without knowing time & pain, skill mastery and finally work obsession to control your fortune. After researching, analysing history and learning about the world's best personalities, we feel, this book is insanely deep to assist you to find your own soul and the minute details of your most loving work. It's useful for artists, routine work, writers, creative people & most importantly, passionate people who want to live a fulfilled life. With insane techniques, the book, Irresistible Obsession will transform your life forever while making you into the person to reach and accomplish your goals with deep perfection, without making any hurry even with reasonable rest. In gist, it will bring out your best flawlessly even without giving you any pain. Focus is meditation; Multitasking is overrated; Motivation is void and irregular; Genius is overrated; & Interest and curiosity are underrated. A genius can also fail if he doesn't work honest enough. Affirmative, time is an illusion. Almost all people have enough time to shake the world. In this book, we are focusing on being irresistibly obsessed with our passion, so we can become your best, not someone else's best. Choose a job you love and you will never have to work a day in your life. - Confucius.

Irresistible by Adam Alter Pdf

“Irresistible is a fascinating and much needed exploration of one of the most troubling phenomena of modern times.” —Malcolm Gladwell, author of New York Times bestsellers David and Goliath and Outliers “One of the most mesmerizing and important books I’ve read in quite some time. Alter brilliantly illuminates the new obsessions that are controlling our lives and offers the tools we need to rescue our businesses, our families, and our sanity.” —Adam Grant, New York Times bestselling author of Originals and Give and Take Welcome to the age of behavioral addiction—an age in which half of the American population is addicted to at least one behavior. We obsess over our emails, Instagram likes, and Facebook feeds; we binge on TV episodes and YouTube videos; we work longer hours each year; and we spend an average of three hours each day using our smartphones. Half of us would rather suffer a broken bone than a broken phone, and Millennial kids spend so much time in front of screens that they struggle to interact with real, live humans. In this revolutionary book, Adam Alter, a professor of psychology and marketing at NYU, tracks the rise of behavioral addiction, and explains why so many of today's products are irresistible. Though these miraculous products melt the miles that separate people across the globe, their extraordinary and sometimes damaging magnetism is no accident. The companies that design these products tweak them over time until they become almost impossible to resist. By reverse engineering behavioral addiction, Alter explains how we can harness addictive products for the good—to improve how we communicate with each other, spend and save our money, and set boundaries between work and play—and how we can mitigate their most damaging effects on our well-being, and the health and happiness of our children. Adam Alter's previous book, Drunk Tank Pink: And Other Unexpected Forces that Shape How We Think, Feel, and Behave is available in paperback from Penguin.

The Irresistible Obsession by Fahd Alvina Pdf

Fresho, a wealthy musician and CEO, finds himself obsessively in love with Lara, a simple college girl, to the point that he is diagnosed with Obsessive love disorder. Their intense connection faces opposition from Fresho's disapproving family and challenges from their friends. Will their love conquer all obstacles? "But you need them." Fresho whimpers, "Trust me, I don't. I don't need new stuff." I say. "Lara, calm down. I don't want us to fight and please don't misunderstand me. I did it for you because I have the money. Trust me, I wanted to do more than that. I can afford hundreds of them. I know you were cool with all your stuff but there is no sin in changing them to a new one. They are just gifts," He says persuasively. "Well, I don't see it that way. I am beginning to feel like you are seeing taking care of me as your responsibility." I say, "So, what's wrong with that? I am your boyfriend for goodness sake." His voice is getting harsh and it is getting on my nerves. Coming from someone that doesn't want us to fight. "Yes, that's it. You are my boyfriend, not my parents." I say, still sounding calm but I am getting angry. I don't know how far this calmness can go. "So as your boyfriend, I can't take care of you when it is obvious I have the money." "No. There is a limit to everything. You can buy me gifts but having an obligation to do things for me or take care of me is not part of your role. You are my boyfriend, not my husband. "Well, yes. I am not your husband yet but I will be one day. Which means I will be responsible for your well-being soon. What difference does it make if I start now? I don't know why you normally overthink something you should be happy about." Fresho says, his voice is harsh and it annoys me. "What if we don't end up marrying each other. What if we are not meant to be." I say it with a snap but I regret saying it immediately. The moment the statement comes out of my mouth, Fresho's body language changes and furrows his face, "What did you just say? What ....what do you mean by that?" He asks anxiously. "I didn't say we will not end up together. But you know man proposes but God disposes." I say, trying to use a quote to back up my wrong words so that it won't sound like a threat anymore. He breathes in and out deeply and says, "Even God knows how much I love you so He won't take you away from me. No one will." He says confidently. He is sounding like it is a do-or-die affair. Like if I don't marry him something will happen to him. "Well, I love you too but I will not accept all those things. Tell your men to send back my stuff and pack all that away from my room." I say and I look away. "I don't have anywhere to take them to. You can throw them away if you detest them so badly. But mind you I will still replace them with more, expensive ones." He retorts and I look at him. I can tell that he is angry. "You are just trying to have total control over my life and I won't allow that," I say in a low but sharp voice. "Why not? Why can't I? When you have done the same thing to me. You have taken total control over my life to the extent that I can't go a minute without thinking about you. I can't even think straight anymore. I find myself thinking of how to protect you, making sure that you are safe. How to make you comfortable, not lacking anything and many more. Even when I am working, you are always there. You are fucking engraved permanently in my brain to the degree that I will not be myself if I don't hear your voice. And you are here saying I want to have control over your life? If I can, I will too. If you know what you are doing to me, you will not be talking like this." He says angrily, his speech is fast and

Studies in the Psychology of Sex, Volume II presents studies that explore the psychology of sex by addressing topics ranging from erotic symbolism and the mechanism of detumescence to the psychic state in pregnancy. Eonism and sex in relation to society are also discussed.

Psychoanalysis in Asia by Alf Gerlach,Maria Teresa Savio Hooke,Sverre Varvin Pdf

The world is looking East. Whilst in the West psychoanalysis is fighting to maintain its position among the other therapies in a society which has less time for introspection and self-reflective thought, in Asia a new frontier is opening up: we are witnessing a surge of interest for psychoanalysis among the mental health professionals and among the younger generations, interest which is articulated and nuanced differently in the different Asian countries. In Asia and particularly in India, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan and China, the development of psychoanalysis reflects separate socio-political historical contexts, each with a rich cultural texture and fuelled by the interest of a new generation of mental health professionals for psychoanalysis as a therapeutic method.

A New Introduction to Chaucer by D. S. Brewer Pdf

This new introduction to Chaucer has been radically rewritten since the previous edition which was published in 1984. The book is a controversial and modern restatement of some of the traditional views on Chaucer, and seeks to present a rounded introduction to his life, cultural setting and works. Professor Brewer takes into account recent literary criticism, both challenging new ideas and using them in his analysis of Chaucer's work. Above all, there is a strong emphasis on leading the reader to understand and enjoy the poetry and prose, and to try to understand Chaucer's values which are often seen to oppose modern principles. A New Introduction to Chaucer is the result of Derek Brewer's distinguished career spanning fifty years of research and study of Chaucer and contemporary scholarship and criticism. New interpretations of many of the poems are presented including a detailed account of the Book of the Duchess. Derek Brewer's fresh and narrative style of writing will appeal to all who are interested in Chaucer, from sixth-form and undergraduate students who are new to Chaucer's work through to more advanced students and lecturers.

The Imperial Capitals of China by Arthur Cotterell Pdf

This history of China’s imperial capital cities reveals “a picaresque chronicle of dynastic succession and court intrigue” across millennia (Publishers Weekly). Throughout the long history of Imperial China, emperors designed their capital cities in ways that reveal the heart of their dynasty. The ley lines of these cities reveal religious preoccupations, while the design of important buildings tells us much about the cultural influences of the period. The Shang Emperor of the third century B.C. made obsessive—and ultimately fatal—attempts to engage the Immortals with cosmologically pleasing urban planning. Meanwhile, the Tang capital at Chang'an betrays the striking creativity and cultural receptiveness that earmark the era as a literary and artistic golden age. And the Forbidden City of fifteenth century Beijing still stands as testament to Ming dynasty architectural virtuosity. Arthur Cotterell provides an inside view of the rich array of characters, political and ideological tensions, and technological genius that defined the imperial cities of China, as each in turn is uncovered, explored, and celebrated. The oldest continuous civilization in existence today stands to become the most influential.

Trout Quintet by Steve Raymond Pdf

This is a new book from the Pacific Northwest’s finest angling writer. There is an abundance of literature on the pleasure and wonder of fly fishing. The themes are familiar and well traveled: ruminations on aging and the passage of time; musings on marriage and balancing the love of friends and families with that of fishing; reflections on the need for companionship versus the quiet beauty and solitude of fly fishing. Now, Steve Raymond takes these well-explored subjects and views them through the lens of fiction. With flowing prose, the five stories in Trout Quintet touch on some of the more salient topics that the flyfisherman faces, from the problem of overfishing to the sometimes nonsensical rules that anglers must contend with. From the story of a dying man who comes back to life as a rainbow trout to the tale of a young boy and his lucky hat, Trout Quintet is a refreshing evocation of the sport that so many women and men love. Skyhorse Publishing, as well as our Arcade, Yucca, and Good Books imprints, are proud to publish a broad range of books for readers interested in fiction—novels, novellas, political and medical thrillers, comedy, satire, historical fiction, romance, erotic and love stories, mystery, classic literature, folklore and mythology, literary classics including Shakespeare, Dumas, Wilde, Cather, and much more.

Robin Wood on the Horror Film by Robin Wood Pdf

Robin Wood—one of the foremost critics of cinema—has laid the groundwork for anyone writing about the horror film in the last half-century. Wood’s interest in horror spanned his entire career and was a form of popular cinema to which he devoted unwavering attention. Robin Wood on the Horror Film: Collected Essays and Reviews compiles over fifty years of his groundbreaking critiques. In September 1979, Wood and Richard Lippe programmed an extensive series of horror films for the Toronto International Film Festival and edited a companion piece: The American Nightmare: Essays on the Horror Film — the first serious collection of critical writing on the horror genre. Robin Wood on the Horror Film now contains all of Wood’s writings from The American Nightmare and nearly everything else he wrote over the years on horror—published in a range of journals and magazines—gathered together for the first time. It begins with the first essay Wood ever published, "Psychoanalysis of Psycho," which appeared in 1960 and already anticipated many of the ideas explored later in his touchstone book, Hitchcock’s Films. The volume ends, fittingly, with, "What Lies Beneath?," written almost five decades later, an essay in which Wood reflects on the state of the horror film and criticism since the genre’s renaissance in the 1970s. Wood’s prose is eloquent, lucid, and convincing as he brings together his parallel interests in genre, authorship, and ideology. Deftly combining Marxist, Freudian, and feminist theory, Wood’s prolonged attention to classic and contemporary horror films explains much about the genre’s meanings and cultural functions. Robin Wood on the Horror Film will be an essential addition to the library of anyone interested in horror, science fiction, and film genre.

The Book of Phobias and Manias by Kate Summerscale Pdf

From the winner of the Edgar Award and the Samuel Johnson Prize, a cultural history of “everyday madness” The Book of Phobias and Manias is a thrilling compendium of 99 obsessions that have shaped us all, the rare and the familiar, from ablutophobia (a horror of washing) to syllogomania (a compulsion to hoard) to zoophobia (a fear of animals). Phobias and manias are deeply personal experiences, and among the most common anxiety disorders of our time, but they are also clues to our shared past. The award-winning author Kate Summerscale uses rich and riveting case studies to trace the origins of our obsessions, unearthing a history of human strangeness, from the middle ages to the present day, and a wealth of explanations for some of our most powerful aversions and desires.
