Binding: Hardcover with dust jacket Pages: 153 Dimensions: 23.7 x 15.6 x 1.5 cm +++ by Carlo Michelstaedter +++ Carlo Michelstaedter (1887-1910) committed suicide at the age of 23, days after completing this devastating treatise on the human condition and the course of Western civilization. This work was deemed to be so radically nihilistic, or so radically idealistic, that publishers shied away from it for decades. This new English translation brings to life the heartfelt text of the precocious Italian-Jewish writer, poet, and painter, who, refusing to compromise with life, remained loyal to his ideal of a perfect world. Keenly aware of the inevitable catastrophe that the values of his time held in store for humanity, Carlo Michelstaedter, with Persuasion and Rhetoric, also provides a pithy - albeit idiosyncratic - synthesis of the major currents of philosophical thought that held sway at the beginning of the 20th century. Its searing honesty and mordant critique have not lost any immediacy, almost a century after the work was completed as a university thesis. The reader is challenged to re-examine the dull norms, conventions, and patterns of thought all too readily adopted as humanity willingly, pathetically courts its own demise. And yet, amidst this gloomy vision, Michelstaedter forces the reader to re-appraise the here-and-now, to summon the courage to live a life worthy of being lived.

It all depends on the type of mind control that is involved and the intent of the individual who wants to apply it. It also depends on whether the target or subject of mind control will benefit from it or is harmed. Nonetheless, mind control is a very intriguing and fascinating topic. The majority of us use some form of mind control such as persuasion or manipulation in our everyday lives to get what we want from others and to achieve our goals. Some of us even have used the mind control technique of self hypnosis on ourselves for self improvement in the areas of weight loss, reducing stress levels, or eradicating bad habits such as smoking from our lives.  After reading this book you will have a deeper understanding of mind control and its core principles. You will also have the information that you need to use mind control on others or stop others from using mind control on you! * * eBook provided in PDF, ePUB and MOBI Formats on CD with free software below. eBooks can be read on the move - travelling as a passenger or waiting for an appointment - on any device/readers as listed above.  With the free Text-To-Speech software, the eBook can be listened to at leisure. * *
