Publisher's Summary
Heavy psychology and practical philosophy emphasizing personal responsibility, for fans of Nietzsche, Emerson, and Heraclitus. The aim of this book is to imbue the reader with a greater degree of self-control, motivation, and sense of accountability than he or she formerly possessed.
Chapter One divides the so-called "individual" in order to demonstrate how the constituent functions, including unconscious ones, are not accidental but purposeful, seated firmly within the scope of their owner's responsibility.
The end of that chapter combines with the next to paint a picture of self and society as having mirrored natures, and delineates the mechanism by which societies themselves attain to a similar agency, with culture as an analogue of personality.
Chapter Three is the good stuff, the sharpened spurs of a masculine ethos to counteract attitudes supporting self-pity, lethargy, and pusillanimity.
