| Title: Life |
| Sub-title: How to make sense of this world and yourself |
| By (author): Talal Alali |
| ISBN10-13: 1739308638 : 9781739308636 |
| How to make sense of this world and yourself. â Lifeâ is a book designed to help people understand themselves, based on science. It explains psychological stress, mental disorders, and provides specific ways to deal with life challenges. The book describes many cases of patients the author saw over the years. â Lifeâ examines the foundations of many influential self-improvement books, showing why they are appealing and why they donâ t work for the most part. The author spent 25 years studying psychology, working in universities and mental health institutions in the US, UK, and the Middle East. During that time, he moved from one school of thought to another out of dissatisfaction with their shortcomings and grandiose claims. In this book, he outlines, in a plain language, the basic premises of psychology, psychotherapy, and psychiatry that tend to be overlooked and demonstrates how any person can benefit from these scientific ideas. He explains when and why medications and psychotherapy are good, and when and why they can be harmful. The book discloses the ways in which psychologists and psychiatrists have been normalising mental disorders, and harming healthy people. It also shows the detrimental effects of myths about psychological wellbeing pushed by media, pharma companies, and psychiatrists. It opens a way for people to understand themselves and to grow with the help of real science. |

| Title: Mass Delusion |
| Sub-title: The Road to World War III |
| By (author): Talal Alali |
| ISBN10-13: 1739308697 : 9781739308698 |
| Throughout the ages, many societies lost their sanity, suffered from identity crises, and descended into chaos. Empires and grand civilizations have crumbled when they lost their cohesive collective identities that once bound their people together and gave them reason to live and die for. Germany pre-Second World War, the Ottoman Caliphate, the Umayyad Caliphate, the Byzantine Empire, the Persian kingdoms are among the obvious examples. These societies all bore witness to the surge of irrational ideologies that precipitated their demise. 'Mass Delusion' examines the contemporary tensions, dominant rationales, and key questions impacting the lives of people in the West from both social and clinical psychological perspectives. It explores the identity crisis resulting from massive and rapid demographic change, the failure of leadership, and the lack of a uniting identity occurring all over the West, as well as the consequences of the interplay between these factors. Authored by Talal Alali, a professor of clinical and social psychology specialising in identity, wars, and traumas, the book leverages his expertise to dissect the current state of affairs and provide a solution to avert potential civil unrest in the Western hemisphere. Alali examines the interplay between the current landscape in the Middle East, mass migration patterns to the West, and the polarization of American society, along with the evolving power dynamics between China and Taiwan, and the implications of a shifting global power axis. He predicts how these factors are leading to civil unrest. He discusses likely outcomes of ongoing conflicts such as the Gaza war, and how a permanent peace can be established. The book analyses the mentality and identities of the fighting groups and explains how they can coexist peacefully. |

| Title: The uncharted self |
| Sub-title: Identity, war, and the limits of psychology |
| By (author): Talal Alali |
| ISBN10-13: 1739308689 : 9781739308681 |
| Identity is one of the most powerful drivers of humanity and yet among the least understood. Despite countless studies, articles, and books, many aspects of identity remain mysterious to both scientists and laypeople. As social beings, our lives are regulated and influenced by our understanding of who we are. Identity shapes and is shaped by social norms, laws, cultures, in addition to our personal feelings and beliefs. Identity plays an essential and complex role in relation to conflicts and mental illness. People may accept harming others when they see them as deserving of harm and essentially different from themselves. Conversely, they may cooperate and resist when they see themselves as part of a group worth sacrificing for. In this book, Talal Alali examines collective identity and its complex relationship with both mental disorders and traumas using the context of war. He examines why psychology has struggled to grasp these dynamics comprehensively and how we can better understand conflicts like those in the Middle East and Ukraine. The author illustrates how people perceive and present themselves and their (adverse) personal experiences in the form of complex formations. These frameworks have multifaceted simultaneous effects. They offer psychological benefits by providing explanations and positive outlooks; on the other hand, they justify perpetuation of conflict by obscuring some of its devastating effects and by distorting realities. The fact that psychology still relies on self-reporting as well as qualitative methods limits its ability to reach a comprehensive understanding of identity and how people react to traumas. |
