Me.

Favourite psychology book:
Six Psychological Studies.

Sociology book:
The Gift.

Economics:
Some by George Ayittey, I can't remember which.

In all honesty, learn the signs and symptoms of various personality and mood disorders. The most recent DSM plus some good popular literature on each of the disorders. You will encounter psychopaths, narcissists, borderlines, and bipolars throughout your life. It's good to be able to spot these people right away and know how to deal with them.

DSM tells you how to identify them. For how to deal with them, there are lots of popular books and videos for dealing with such people. "Snakes in Suits" is written by a top psychologist and deals with psychopaths in the workplace. Dr. Les Carter's "Surviving Narcissism" channel on YouTube extensively covers how to deal with narcissists.

Just go into transactional analysis. Berne wrote about it and there is a book on it or there is a book called TA today by steward.

I wish DSM wasnt so expensive because reading that huge book from pdf on screen is pain.

>>13129150
This is the most mediocre book I've read in a long time. Maybe I should have kept notes of it. I feel that's the only way to get something out of it.

How easy is it to go from game theory into economics?

Public library should have a copy.

>>13131081
Used copy of earlier edition?

>>13131090
>>13131094
Public library in third world has no copy. earlier edition defeats the purpose of diagnostic manual that has too many changes and we are talking about decade or more of time, it is 13 years older and that makes a huge difference.

Thinking, fast and slow

Psychology is pseudoscience. May as well read astrology and star signs.

> noMaps of Meaning: The Architecture of Belief.
This is the Simil psychology book of our age, that will go down with the greats by Carl Jung and Freud.
>describes a comprehensive theory about how people construct meaning, beliefs and make narratives using ideas from various fields including mythology, religion, literature, philosophy and psychology in accordance to the modern scientific understanding of how the brain functions.
>According to Peterson, his main goal was to examine why both individuals and groups participate in social conflict, explore the reasoning and motivation individuals take to support their belief systems (i.e. ideological identification) that eventually results in killing and pathological atrocities like the Gulag, the Auschwitz concentration camp and the Rwandan genocide. He considers that an "analysis of the world’s religious ideas might allow us to describe our essential morality and eventually develop a universal system of morality". Jungian archetypes play an important role in the book.
>there exists a struggle between chaos (characteristic of the unknown, e.g. nature) and order (characteristic of explored, mapped territory, e.g. culture). Humans with their capability of abstract thinking also make abstract territoriality—the belief systems which "regulate our emotions". A potential threat to an important belief triggers emotional reactions which are potentially followed by pathological attempts to face internal chaos, and "people generally prefer war to be something external, rather than internal ... than re-forming our challenged beliefs". The principle in between is logos (consciousness), and heroic figures are those who develop the culture and society as intermediaries between these two natural forces In that sense the "myth represents the eternal unknown ... known ... knower", the knower being the hero who "slays the dragon of chaos" like Saint George, resulting in "maturity in the form of individuality".Throughout the book, Peterson attempts to explain how the mind works

I prefer the older editions of the DSM. They are less politically correct. The first edition even says homosexuality is a disorder. Can't get away with saying THAT nowadays.

Seconded. That is a good one.

>read a vague diagnostic manual without professional training, and you will start discovering insane people everywhere!
Nice get

Game theory is a branch of economics. You cannot properly get into game theory without a foundation in economics.

>>13132686
Did it ever occur to you that there ARE insane people everywhere?
