Push Back!: How to Take a Stand Against Groupthink, Bullies, Agitators, and Professional Manipulators
by B. K. EakmanHow many times have you had the unsettling experience of being treated as a troublemaker as soon as you question or raise an objection to a school policy, a textbook, a course of study, a new county regulation, or a community proposal?Every day, attendees of conferences, community forums, PTA meetings, and board meetings are made to feel uncomfortable and occasionally foolish by the person or persons leading the meeting. The speakers, moderators, or provocateurs-whom author B. K.

These people use techniques to ostracize those brave enough to stand and question or criticize them.With Push Back!, readers will be able to counter group manipulation tactics by learning to:Recognize psychologically controlled environmentsIdentify the professional agitator/provocateurExamine components of psych warUndercut faulty, distorted, and biased arguments of opponentsSquelch techniques used to rebuff audience members who complain or balkNeutralize consensus-building techniquesAnd much more

Read this book from beginning to end, with a pencil in hand and a calculator and an Official SAT Study Guide by your side. When you’re done, you’ll be able to approach the SAT with confidence—very few questions will surprise you, and even fewer will be able to withstand your withering attacks. <p><p> Stand tall, intrepid student. Destiny awaits. <p><p> Updated for the New SAT <p> This new edition of the Math Guide has been updated, rather painstakingly, to reflect the realities of the new SAT that launched in March 2016. This book was not rushed to market to take advantage of interest in the new exam. I took my time, and hopefully I got it right. <p><p> Chapters are broken into five major sections: Techniques, Heart of Algebra, Passport to Advanced Math, Problem Solving and Data Analysis, and Additional Topics in Math. Each chapter concludes with a reference list of similar questions from official practice tests. Practice questions are designated as either “Calculator” or “No calculator.” Students will be forbidden from using their calculators for one whole section of the new SAT. Emphasis is placed on nimbleness—the ability to approach problems in multiple ways to find the one that works best. Calculator solutions and shortcuts are provided where appropriate.
