Superb documentary-series on social conditioning

Was browsing GoogleVideo a bit and came a across this excellent documentary-series (4 parts that´s one hour each) that I saw a couple of months ago. It´s called "The Century of Self" by british film-maker Adam Curtis. In his own words it´s about:

“How those in power have used Freud’s theories to try and control the dangerous crowd in an age of mass democracy.”

Very interesting stuff for anyone interested in personal development. You can find the other three parts in the right frame of your browser. The Century Of The Self - Part 1 of 4 - By Adam Curtis - Google Video

Nice! Where are the other 3 parts?

Just click the link and there you´ll find a frame to the right on The GoogleVideo-page. Check that to find the other 3 parts of the series.

Also, the first few seconds of the video is a bit jumpy but after that there is no problems.

I watched this maybe a couple years ago. Interesting look at advertising and propaganda, though a bit too conspiracy styled for my tastes iirc.
