In \u003ci\u003ePower: The Hidden Instinct\u003c\/i\u003e, author David Bleviss reshapes the definition of this complex, yet often overused word. Bleviss asserts that the desire for power is instinctual and that anyone with will and desire can possess it. \u003cp\u003eBleviss began developing his ideas about power from an early age. As a young adult, he traveled to Palestine in 1947 to participate in the formation of the new state of Israel. Moving from a society invested in socialist idealism to capitalism helped to form many of Bleviss's ideas about power and its uses.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn uncovering the meaning and uses of power, Bleviss explains power as both a science and an art. He believes that in the desire for power to make things happen, men and women seldom fully understand the underlying processes. \u003ci\u003ePower: The Hidden Instinct\u003c\/i\u003e assists readers to develop a richer appreciation of the use of language and a more specific understanding of individual motivations and behaviors related to \"the art of powering.\"\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBleviss takes the reader beyond such clichés as \"power lunch\" to a level that reveals how we fit into the social, economic, and political power forces of a larger society.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Bleviss\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0595338992\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780595338993\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e iUniverse\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/02\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.44lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.30d","brand":"David Bleviss","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48441102827775,"sku":"9780595338993","price":13.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0a7e8e07-9344-48b2-94ba-8587823e0051.jpg?v=1777188708","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/power-david-bleviss-9780595338993","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
