Gaslighting: A Christmas Tale: Personal Support Included: Toxic Others, Book 26 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 30min
You made sure everything would be perfect for Christmas. But I detest Christmas. I see no point in bringing other people cheer. I am the gaslighter. I only care about things that I can have and can get from other people. Other people don’t know me well enough to get me a gift, however. I reserve my right to throw a tantrum at every holiday party like I am still six years old.I throw a fit because I didn’t get what I wanted. I make my mommy feel bad, and I make you feel bad. Everyone feels bad except for me. I am impulsive. I am naughty. I am unconcerned for anyone else except for myself.I am fat and jolly; so slovenly and self-centered just like a newborn baby who cannot clean up after itself even though it eats everyone else out of house and home. I am demanding and pouty and insincere. Or, I am a curmudgeon with a miserly temperament who throws tantrums when I don’t get my way or when someone else’s opinion differs from mine. Or, I am the Peter Pan man who doesn’t give a hoot about all the people who must be around me to care for me because I’m too immature to care for myself.You all run around me and make it all better again. You are attracted to people you can fix, and I love when you offer to do all my work for me. You jump to my whim and pay attention to me. You let me take credit for all that you do, and I never have to show you any appreciation afterward.After all, that’s all I really wanted in the first place. Mommy will swoop in and buy me something even more expensive because I guilt tripped her.I will make her buy me that gift you were already planning to buy me so that I pit both of you against one another. I will make you feel guilty and bad for trying to get me anything to begin with. After all, I told you not to get me anything, remember? I told you last Christmas and the Christmas before. I told you when we met. And you...Download now to hear more. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Nick Hahn. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/183237/bk_acx0_183237_sample.mp3.

Fascism
A personal and urgent examination of Fascism in the twentieth century and how its legacy shapes today's world, written by one of America's most admired public servants, the first woman to serve as U.S. secretary of state."There is priceless wisdom on every page." Kirkus Starred reviewA Fascist, observes Madeleine Albright, 'is someone who claims to speak for a whole nation or group, is utterly unconcerned with the rights of others, and is willing to use violence and whatever other means are necessary to achieve the goals he or she might have.'The twentieth century was defined by the clash between democracy and Fascism, a struggle that created uncertainty about the survival of human freedom and left millions of innocent people dead. Given the horrors of that experience, one might expect the world to reject the spiritual successors to Hitler and Mussolini should they arise in our era. In Fascism: A Warning, Madeleine Albright, draws on her own experiences as a child in war-torn Europe and her distinguished career as a diplomat to question that very assumption.Fascism, as Albright shows, not only endured through the course of the twentieth century, but now presents a more virulent threat to international peace and justice than at any time since the end of World War II. The momentum toward democracy that swept the world when the Berlin Wall fell has gone into reverse. The United States, which has historically championed the free world, is led by a president who exacerbates popular divisions and heaps scorn on democratic institutions. In many countries, economic, technological and cultural factors are weakening the political centre and empowering the extremes of right and left. Contemporary leaders such as Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong-un are employing many of the same tactics used by Fascists in the 1920s and 30s.Fascism: A Warning is a book for our times that is relevant to all times. Written with wisdom by someone who has not only studied history but helped to shape it, this call to arms teaches us the lessons we must understand and the questions we must answer if we are to save ourselves from repeating the tragic errors of the past.- Shop: buecher
