Best Socio psychological books for you to read this season

-

Reaading good books remains the supreme “life hack”—knowledge that often took years to assemble can be consumed in mere hours.
I can’t think of a single better way to empower your learning (and yourself) than that. And as a professional, executive, or entrepreneur, the more you know about how people tick, the better.
The problem is that when looking for new reads, lists are often populated with books that everybody already knows about. How many more recommendations of Cialdini’s
Influence do you need before you’re sick of seeing it?
As a voracious reader of brainy books on influence and persuasion (not limited to academic coverage), I thought I’d mix things up with a few underrated suggestions that you won’t see on most bookshelves.
1. The Person and the Situation
In my opinion, this is the best book Malcolm Gladwell’s name has been attached to. It’s one of the definitive works in social psychology, perhaps only eclipsed by Eliot Aronson’s The Social Animal.
The authors combine thorough, academic insights with highly relatable writing. An odd, but perhaps accurate, way to describe it is that it’s like a college textbook that you actually want to read!
The reviews seem overly positive, but frankly, they are warranted. One of my favorites:
“I believe this book will help you get a better grasp of social psychology

I am putting this question out to alot of key players in the Nigerian music and entertainment industries, what is  and the standards parameter available to music in the Nigerian market??? believe it or not, The Nigeria music industry is already phasing out. These music lacks philosophical depth, moral, consoling and reflective lyrics. You can hardly turn on your TV and Radio these days expecting to get a social and psychological relief. Turn your Radio and TV  on and what you have in your face and ear is a pile of Junk music and video reconstructions that doesn't strike a cord. As a country with teaming challenges and responsibilities, our overall psychological composure has a considerable significance at determining our inputs and output efforts and in relative results. The kind of music we listen to, the kind of videos we watch, and the kind of book we read matters alot at helping to remodel or restructure our mindset and to making an informed judgement. Sure alot of Nigeria ar

Why Snail farming is better than Poultry, fishery, piggery and Ruminant Animal Production

-
With Nigerian population at exactly 210 million people with its occupants on just  28% of its total land mass and as its megacities are home to about 145 million people. protein consumption among its people still remains a very big challenge. An average Nigerian consumes less than 10 pounds or 4.5kg of protein per year unlike in the United States with a population of 322 million people where an average individual consumes more than 150 pounds or 68kg per year. No doubt Agriculture is a fantastic and fulfilling venture especially in both crop and livestock production but which its materialization is still very young or green. To meet the protein production target, alot of effort is pumped into piggery which is still pilfered by the Islamic religion that forbids its meat, cost of feeding the animal which is less challenging compared to that of ruminant animal and health rumor by medicals house, individuals and unacertained facts by health authourities about its cholesterol level which co
