A SUNDAY TIMESBESTSELLER Piers Morgan welcomes the return of a common-sense world They claimed it was a movement that would change society forever. Instead, it's been buried six feet under by common sense. For a decade, "woke" infected every corner of our lives. Cancel culture ran riot. Men became toxic. Virtue signalling was everywhere. And if you dared disagree? You'd be terminated on the spot. But then something extraordinary happened. All over the world, people woke up. In this explosive and uproarious takedown, Piers Morgan charts the spectacular collapse of the most ridiculous ideology in human history. With his trademark wit and fearless honesty, he exposes the hypocrites, destroys the myths, and celebrates the heroes who refused to surrender to the woke brigade. Inside, Morgan takes aim at the madness wherever it's hiding and calls out the absurdity with humour, logic, and outrage. He pulls no punches as he tackles: Hollywood hypocrisy - when celebrity virtue-signaling became it's own performance Environ-mentalists - how saving the planet turned into shouting about plastic straws Go Woke, Go Broke - from brand deals to the price of moral posturing Word Police - the battle over language and what you can and can't say And much more But this isn't just about pointing and laughing at the wreckage. With his unique blend of savage humour and surprising wisdom, Morgan offers a roadmap for navigating our post-woke world and a less divided, more sensible society. Woke is Dead is the provocative, hilarious and essential read for anyone who wants to understand how an entire civilisation briefly lost its mind.

Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2019 im Fachbereich Tourismus - Hotelmanagement, Note: 1,3, FOM Hochschule für Oekonomie & Management gemeinnützige GmbH, Berlin früher Fachhochschule, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Diese Arbeit hat sich zum Ziel gesetzt zu erforschen, ob in der Hotellerie Verkaufsgespräche durch den Einsatz von Körpersprache mittels neurolinguistischer Programmierung manipuliert werden können. Die Körpersprache nimmt in der Gesellschaft einen großen Raum ein und erhält durch historische Momente wie durch den Kniefall von Willy Brandt in Warschau 1970 sowie durch zahlreiche Fernsehserien wie "The Mentalist", "Lie to Me" und populärwissenschaftliche Literatur von Joe Navarro oder Thorsten Havener eine große Aufmerksamkeit. Im beruflichen Kontext wird zunehmend versucht, Körpersprache einzubinden und diese im Personalmanagement oder im Verkauf erfolgreich anzuwenden. Beleuchtet wird dies am Beispiel des Verkaufs in der Hotellerie. Auf dem Berliner Hotelmarkt nimmt die Wettbewerbssituation aufgrund der stetig steigenden Anzahl der Hotels weiter zu. Knapp 800 Hotels in Berlin verzeichneten im vergangenen Jahr fast 33 Millionen Übernachtungen. In den nächsten Jahren wird diese Anzahl weiter zunehmen und den Wettbewerb verschärfen. Dem Verkauf kommt eine immer stärkere Rolle zu, um das Hotel bestmöglich zu verkaufen und das Fortbestehen am Hotelmarkt zu sichern. Verstärkt werden Trainings sowohl von internen und als auch externen Trainern angeboten. Unter anderem wird die neurolinguistische Programmierung geschult, um Verkaufsgespräche effizient zu gestalten und somit einen Vorteil gegenüber den Wettbewerbern zu erlangen. In dieser Arbeit wird zunächst die nonverbale Kommunikation vorgestellt und verstärkt auf die Bereiche Gestik und Körperhaltung eingegangen. Des Weiteren werden die kulturellen Unterschiede sowie die geschlechtsspezifischen Unterschiede beleuchtet und auf die Technik der neurolinguistischen Programmierung eingegangen, deren Wirkung in einer empirischen Studie untersucht wird. In dieser Arbeit wird aus Gründen der besseren Lesbarkeit das generische Maskulinum verwendet. Weibliche und anderweitige Geschlechteridentitäten werden dabei ausdrücklich mitgemeint, soweit es für die Aussage erforderlich ist.
