Nervous States: How Feeling Took Over the World Audiobook (Free)

Nervous States is certainly a compelling and important guide to the turbulent times we are living through.

Why has politics become thus fractious and warlike? What caused the populist political upheavals of recent years? How can the annals of tips help us understand our present? Within this vivid and far-reaching exploration of our new political surroundings, William Davies reveals how emotions have come to reshape the world. Sketching deep on history, philosophy, mindset and economics, he shows how some of the fundamental assumptions that defined the modern world have dissolved. With improvements in science and medicine, the department between mind and body is no longer so clear-cut. The spread of digital and armed service technology has left us nearly at battle nor specifically at peacefulness. In the murky brand-new space between body and mind, between war and peace, rest nervous areas: with all of us relying more and more on feeling instead of fact.
