We need leadership books that offer information as well as inspiration. Pop leadership is one of the most destructive forces today. ~ Paul Gibbons
Pop Psychology quotes by Paul Gibbons
Genuine self-acceptance is not derived from the power of positive thinking, mind games or pop psychology. IT IS AN ACT OF FAITH in the God of grace. ~ Brennan Manning
Pop Psychology quotes by Brennan Manning
St. Teresa of Avila once said: "We can only learn to know ourselves and do what we can - namely, surrender our will and fulfill God's will in us." For Christians not of the prosperity persuasion, surrender is a virtue; the writings of the saints are full of commands to "let go" and to submit yourself to what seems to be the will of the Almighty. All of American culture and pop psychology scream against that. Never give up on your dreams! Just keep knocking, that door is about to open! Think positively! Self-improvement guaranteed!! The entire motivational-speaking industry rests on the assumption that you can have what you want, you can be what you want. Just do it.
When prosperity believers live out their daily struggles with smiles on their faces, sometimes I want to applaud. They confront the impossible and joyfully insist that God make a way. They obediently put miracle oil on their failing bodies. They give large offerings to the church and expect great things. They stubbornly get out of their hospital beds and declare themselves healed, and every now and then, it works.
They are addicted to self-rule, and so am I. ~ Kate Bowler
Pop Psychology quotes by Kate Bowler
Fake it til you make it. Okay, here's the one to avoid. Attempt this bit of pop psychology at your peril. Originally an observation made by Aristotle, "Men acquire a particular quality by constantly acting a certain way," the modern version has become tainted by its suggested swagger, and if performed in that fashion can easily go wrong. The very notion of straying far from our real selves is at odds with the central premise of this book. Confidence isn't about pretending or putting on an act; it springs from the genuine accomplishment and work. Jenny Crocker told us, in fact, that not only does faking it not work as a confidence booster, but it almost certainly make us feel less secure, because knowingly masquerading as something we're not makes us anxious. Moreover, as good as we might be at faking it, we'll certainly project those subtle false signals described by Cameron Anderson, and that won't help us much, either.
The appeal of faking it, if only for a while, is that it offers a crutch --a way to begin. Here's a better way to reframe the premise for a quick confidence jump start: Don't pretend to be anything or anyone -- simply take action. Do one small brave thing, and then enxt one will be easier, and soon confidence will flow. We know -- fake it till you make it sounds catchier -- but this actually works. ~ Katty Kay
Pop Psychology quotes by Katty Kay
We have been stuffed full of praise for mediocrity and had our foibles diagnosed away with hyphenated jargon and pop psychology. ~ Kevin DeYoung
Pop Psychology quotes by Kevin DeYoung
Why do such bad questions get predictably asked? Maybe part of the problem is that we have learned to ask the wrong questions of ourselves. Our culture is steeped in a kind of pop psychology whose obsessive question is: Are you happy? We ask it so reflexively that i seems natural to wish that a pharmacist with a time machine could deliver a lifetime supply of antidepressants to Bloomsbury, so that an incomparable feminist prose stylist could be reoriented to produce litters of Woolf babies. ~ Rebecca Solnit
Pop Psychology quotes by Rebecca Solnit
God is not just the starting point of your life; he is the source of it. To discover your purpose in life you must turn to God's Word, not the world's wisdom. You must build your life on eternal truths, not pop psychology, success-motivation, or inspirational stories. The Bible says, It's in Christ that we find out who we are and what we are living for. Long before we first heard of Christ and got our hopes up, he had his eye on us, had designs on us for glorious living, part of the overall purpose he is working out in everything and everyone. ~ Rick Warren
Pop Psychology quotes by Rick Warren
If you just did what you wanted to do, and didn't care what anyone thought, you'd be Autistic. ~ Seamus McDuff
Pop Psychology quotes by Seamus McDuff
Well, I'm not sure what pop psychology is, but I don't like it. ~ Phil McGraw
Pop Psychology quotes by Phil McGraw
To discover you purpose in life you must turn to God's Word, not the world's wisdom. You must build your life on eternal truths, not pop psychology, success-motivation, or inspirational stories. ~ Rick Warren
Pop Psychology quotes by Rick Warren
In Indian social-cultural-political discourse there is a general tendency to ignore deeper, intellectual thought, and the sensationalist mass media has actually contributed to a great dumbing down of even the educated masses. In this climate where any and all intellectuality has been mostly confined to a few ivory towers of academy, it is difficult to get even the educated and socio-economically privileged section of the society interested in the idea of exploring any deeper intellectual thought. It seems as if the trinity of pop-sociology, pop-psychology and pop-culture has taken over the general mentality of the society leaving little room for any serious, intellectually rigorous discourse on social-cultural phenomena. If at all, there is any serious attempt to think through and understand the observed phenomena, it is almost always done using the intellectual theories and frameworks developed in the Western academic circles. But this habit of non-thinking or thinking only in terms of borrowed categories must change if we want India to awaken to her innate intellectual potential. ~ Beloo Mehra
Pop Psychology quotes by Beloo Mehra
The psychological theories that inform day-to-day business practices are comprised mostly of folk-psychology, fads, and myths. ~ Paul Gibbons
Pop Psychology quotes by Paul Gibbons
What worries me is the acceptance of the importance of feelings without any effort to understand their complex biological and sociocultural machinery. The best example of this attitude can be found in the attempt to explain bruised feelings or irrational behavior by appealing to surface social causes or the action of neurotransmitters, two explanations that pervade the social discourse as presented in the visual and printed media; and in the attempt to correct personal and social problems with medical and nonmedical drugs. It is precisely this lack of understanding of the nature of feelings and reason (one of the hallmarks of the "culture of complaint") that is cause for alarm. ~ Antonio R Damasio
Pop Psychology quotes by Antonio R Damasio
Yes, genes explain far more about us than anyone had realized, but the genes themselves often turn out to be sensitive to environmental conditions. And yes, each person has a characteristic level of happiness, but it now looks as though it's not so much a set point as a potential range or probability distribution. ~ Jonathan Haidt
Pop Psychology quotes by Jonathan Haidt
What makes fantastic declarations believable is, in part, the vehemence with which they're proffered. Again, in the world of spirituality as well as of pop psychology, intensity of personal belief is evidence of truth. It is considered very bad form - even abuse - to challenge the veracity of any personal testimony that might be offered in a twelve-step group or on a talk show, unless the testimony itself is equivocal ... Whatever sells, whatever many people believe strongly, must be true. ~ Wendy Kaminer
Pop Psychology quotes by Wendy Kaminer
No ideology or psychological theory can possibly do justice to the full range of human experience. ~ Marty Rubin
Pop Psychology quotes by Marty Rubin
Because of language, the thoughts we record today might reach into the future to influence the thinking of people not yet born. ~ Laura A. Freberg
Pop Psychology quotes by Laura A. Freberg
It is still open to question whether psychology is a natural science, or whether it can be regarded as a science at all. ~ Ivan Pavlov
Pop Psychology quotes by Ivan Pavlov
All the evidence over several decades cast a critical light on the high-rise as a viable social structure, but cost-effectiveness in the area of public housing and the profitability in the private sector kept pushing these vertical townships into the sky, against the real needs of their occupants. The psychology of high-rise life had been exposed with damaging results. Living in high-rises required a special type of behavior, one that was acquiescent, restrained, even perhaps slightly mad. A psychotic would have a ball here. ~ J.G. Ballard
Pop Psychology quotes by J.G. Ballard
There's a whole generation out there who don't know that I was a pop singer in the early days. ~ Cilla Black
Pop Psychology quotes by Cilla Black
I don't want to be a film star. I don't even want to be a pop star. I just want to live in peace. ~ George Harrison
Pop Psychology quotes by George Harrison
Culture wars' are really undeclared 'gene wars ~ J. Philippe Rushton
Pop Psychology quotes by J. Philippe Rushton
I've become kind of a haven for people who like pop music, but that's not the only thing they like. They also like music in general and want to be able to expand their own horizons. They haven't completely given up on music and are willing to have somebody mediate new things that are happening in music to them. ~ Todd Rundgren
Pop Psychology quotes by Todd Rundgren
I think women in pop have been declawed and defanged, and they're just meant to look pretty and sing pretty. ~ Shirley Manson
Pop Psychology quotes by Shirley Manson
The self is not only the centre but also the whole circumference which embraces both conscious and unconscious; it is the centre of this totality, just as the ego is the centre of consciousness. ~ Carl Jung
Pop Psychology quotes by Carl Jung
Studying neuro-linguistic programming is what teaches you how to implant and extract thoughts. Mixing psychology, hypnotism and magic somewhat goes into this area called mentalism, which is what I mostly do. It's magic of the mind. ~ Keith Barry
Pop Psychology quotes by Keith Barry
So long, Pop! I'm off to check my tiger trap! ~ Bill Watterson
Pop Psychology quotes by Bill Watterson
One day while studying a Yeats poem I decided to write poetry the rest of my life. I recognized that a single short poem has room for history, music, psychology, religious thought, mood, occult speculation, character, and events of one's own life. I still feel surprised that such various substances can find shelter and nourishment in a poem. A poem in fact may be a sort of nourishing liquid, such as one uses to keep an amoeba alive. If prepared right, a poem can keep an image or a thought or insights on history or the psyche alive for years, as well as our desires and airy impulses. ~ Robert Bly
Pop Psychology quotes by Robert Bly
I refuse to let the standards of evil people chip away at my capacity for integrity. ~ Stefan Molyneux
Pop Psychology quotes by Stefan Molyneux
Dr. Jaak Panksepp told me. "If you don't recognize that the brain creates psychological responses, then neuroscience becomes a highly impoverished discipline. And that's where the battle is right now. Many neuroscientists believe that mental states are irrelevant for what the brain does. This is a Galileo-type battle, and it will not be won very easily because you have generations and generations of scholars, even in psychology, who have swallowed hook, line, and sinker the notion - the Skinnerian notion - that mentality is irrelevant in the control of behavior."3 Dr. ~ Gabor Mate
Pop Psychology quotes by Gabor Mate
Face your fears, by creating a plan. We are usually afraid of the unknown, so expose it, plan it and conquer your fears. ~ Tracy A Malone
Pop Psychology quotes by Tracy A Malone
Her hair was simply red and her coat was deacon blue. ~ Robert Rankin
Pop Psychology quotes by Robert Rankin
In Asia, I didn't feel like I was Chloe. I felt like I was acting like someone in Asia. I was acting like Chloe Wang, a pop star, that was like a character for me, if anything. ~ Chloe Bennet
Pop Psychology quotes by Chloe Bennet
This yet another DIY project that's simple enough it doesn't need laid out, listed instructions. Simply take the permanent marker of your choice and decorate your mug as you wish! You can keep it simple or go all out with a variety of colors, themes, drawings, sayings, and more. When your mug (or mugs) is decorated to your content, pop it in the oven at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. It is recommended to hand-wash the mugs after use rather than pop them in the dishwasher to better preserve the decorations. ~ John Getter
Pop Psychology quotes by John Getter
Kanye lied when he said diamonds are forever
When the heat is high, it's the same as lead on paper

We gradually recreate the movie World War Z
Our worst disease becomes our best form of remedy

Moving sands, no firm ground, we live in fear
We join hands, bottle down, pop the Belvedere

Now the question is have we all punched our clocks? Social media, we fit in a damn box ~ Soroosh Shahrivar
Pop Psychology quotes by Soroosh Shahrivar
Many doctors are drawn to this profession (psychology) because they have an innate deficiency of insight into the motives, feelings and thoughts of others, a deficiency they hope to remedy by ingesting masses of data. ~ William S. Burroughs
Pop Psychology quotes by William S. Burroughs
The mind is brought into harmony with the spirit and includes the body, achieving an organic, harmonious unity of all aspects of the person's being, what we might call 'bio-psychosynthesis'. This is true spiritual alchemy ~ Roberto Assagioli
Pop Psychology quotes by Roberto Assagioli
Fake it. We know you can do that. We've seen your sex tape. ~ Bill Maher
Pop Psychology quotes by Bill Maher
He who knows how to wait need make no concessions. ~ Sigmund Freud
Pop Psychology quotes by Sigmund Freud
Jean M. Twenge, a professor of psychology and the author of 'Generation Me' has persuasively argued that the youngest generations today - particularly anyone born after 1980 - are, in her words, "more miserable than ever before." Why? Because of our increased cultural emphasis on "self-esteem" and "self-fulfillment." But real fulfillment, as countless psychologists, philosophers, and spiritual leaders have shown, comes from fulfilling commitments to others. ~ Jane McGonigal
Pop Psychology quotes by Jane McGonigal
Some of the best pop music ever has come out of the States. ~ Kate Bush
Pop Psychology quotes by Kate Bush
A man may possess a profound knowledge of history and mathematics; he may be an authority in psychology, biology, or astronomy; he may know all the discovered truths pertaining to geology and natural science; but if he has not with this knowledge that nobility of soul which prompts him to deal justly with his fellow men, to practice virtue and holiness in his personal life, he is not truly an educated man.
Character is the aim of true education; and science, history, and literature are but means used to accomplish the desired end. Character is not the result of chance work but of continuous right thinking and right acting. ~ David O. McKay
Pop Psychology quotes by David O. McKay
I feel bad [about Lil Wayne going to jail], because I don't think anything like this has happened in music since Elvis got drafted into the Army. Let's just keep it real - Lil Wayne is not just the biggest rapper, Lil Wayne is the biggest pop star right now. Maybe Susan Boyle is on his level. But when you talk about music, nice times out of ten, Lil Wayne's name is gonna come into the conversation. ~ Bun B.
Pop Psychology quotes by Bun B.
Economists tell us that the 'price' of an object and its 'value' have very little or nothing to do with one another. 'Value' is entirely subjective economic value, anyway while 'price' reflects whatever a buyer is willing to give up to get the object in question, and whatever the seller is willing to accept to give it up. Both are governed by the Law of Marginal Utility, which is actually a law of psychology, rather than economics. For government to attempt to dictate a 'fair price' betrays complete misunderstanding of the entire process. ~ L. Neil Smith
Pop Psychology quotes by L. Neil Smith
Cultures are never merely intellectual constructs. They take form through the collective intelligence and memory, through a commonly held psychology and emotions, through spiritual and artistic communion. ~ Tariq Ramadan
Pop Psychology quotes by Tariq Ramadan
I'm just not into happy-clappy pop. Unless it's happy-clappy pop in a good way. ~ Cara Delevingne
Pop Psychology quotes by Cara Delevingne
It is important to leave behind a rich and memorable legacy than just accumulated history! ~ Sanjai Velayudhan
Pop Psychology quotes by Sanjai Velayudhan
Any kind of anthemic song, for the most part, they're on the positive side of things. It's not hard to identify when a melody is just one degree too complicated or one degree too simple and where that line of pop memorability lies. ~ Feist
Pop Psychology quotes by Feist
Customers don't know what they want. There's plenty of good psychology research that shows that people are not able to accurately predict how they would behave in the future. So asking them, 'Would you buy my product if it had these three features?' or 'How would you react if we changed our product this way?' is a waste of time. They don't know. ~ Eric Ries
Pop Psychology quotes by Eric Ries
Fear of the police is learned through experience. ~ Steven Magee
Pop Psychology quotes by Steven Magee
We're not like pop musicians who have to perform the same top ten tunes every night of a tour. ~ Oscar Peterson
Pop Psychology quotes by Oscar Peterson
Every form of addiction is bad, no matter whether the narcotic be alcohol, morphine or idealism. ~ C. G. Jung
Pop Psychology quotes by C. G. Jung
If we knew more about psychology, we would be better equipped to deal with other people's psychological damage which they might project onto us. ~ Sophie Hannah
