The COVID diaries of the alternative rock star and bestselling author of SING BACKWARDS AND WEEP

Most men today are sent off into society with a broken belief system, which they use to make choices, that get them terrible results with life and women.Men have been conditioned to be the quintessential "nice guy." They''re trained to be overly humble, kind to a fault, and that just "being themselves" is enough to attract and keep the woman of their dreams. Men are told to believe that conventional masculinity is toxic, and to put women ahead of their own interests, passions, and purpose.This has led to an entire generation of men forming very unhealthy attachments to women that they, unfortunately, often make their sole focus of their lives.The playbook to women and life has changed, but most men missed the memo. Do you want to succeed, and level up in every area of your life?If so, then this book explains:- The importance of maximizing your looks, money, social status, and game.- Why it''s essential to get genuine burning desire from a woman who wants to date you.- The top 20 red flags that you must vet women for a long term relationship.- How to become one of the top 20% of men that women swipe right for on online dating.- Why smart men avoid marriage. And much more.This book exposes the comforting lies you''ve been told throughout your life for what they really are. Enabling you to become a truly authentic Alpha that chases excellence, and leads a successful passion-filled life.

"e;We cannot change the cards we are dealt, just how we play the hand."e;---Randy PauschA lot of professors give talks titled "e;The Last Lecture."e; Professors are asked to consider their demise and to ruminate on what matters most to them. And while they speak, audiences can't help but mull the same question: What wisdom would we impart to the world if we knew it was our last chance? If we had to vanish tomorrow, what would we want as our legacy?When Randy Pausch, a computer science professor at Carnegie Mellon, was asked to give such a lecture, he didn't have to imagine it as his last, since he had recently been diagnosed with terminal cancer. But the lecture he gave--"e;Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams"e;--wasn't about dying. It was about the importance of overcoming obstacles, of enabling the dreams of others, of seizing every moment (because "e;time is all you have...and you may find one day that you have less than you think"e;). It was a summation of everything Randy had come to believe. It was about living.In this book, Randy Pausch has combined the humor, inspiration and intelligence that made his lecture such a phenomenon and given it an indelible form. It is a book that will be shared for generations to come.

In what remains one of his most seminal papers, Freud considers the incompatibility of civilisation and individual happiness, and the tensions between the claims of society and the individual. We all know that living in civilised groups means sacrificing a degree of personal interest, but couldn't you argue that it in fact creates the conditions for our happiness? Freud explores the arguments and counter-arguments surrounding this proposition, focusing on what he perceives to be one of society's greatest dangers; 'civilised' sexual morality. After all, doesn't repression of sexuality deeply affect people and compromise their chances of happiness?

From one of America's greatest and most iconic writers: an honest and courageous portrait of age and motherhood.Several days before Christmas 2003, Joan Didion's only daughter, Quintana, fell seriously ill. In 2010, Didion marked the sixth anniversary of her daughter's death. 'Blue Nights' is a shatteringly honest examination of Joan Didion's life as a mother, a woman and a writer.Recently widowed, and becoming increasingly frail, 'Blue Nights' is Didion's attempt to understand our deepest fears, our inadequate adjustments to ageing and to put a name to what we refuse to see and as a consequence fail to face up to, 'this refusal even to engage in such contemplation, this failure to confront the certainties of ageing, illness and death. This fear.' This fear is tied to what we cherish most and fight to conserve, protect, and refuse to let go, for, 'when we are talking about mortality we are talking about our children.' To face death is to let go of memory, to be bereft once more, 'I know what it is I am now experiencing. I know what the frailty is, I know what the fear is.'The fear is not for what is lost.The fear is for what is still to be lost.You may see nothing still to be lost.Yet there is no day in her life on which I do not see her.A profound, poetic and powerful book about motherhood and the fierce way in which we continue to exalt and nurture our children, even if they only live on in memory.'Blue Nights' is an intensely personal, and yet, strangely universal account of how we love. It is both groundbreaking and a culmination of a stunning career.

Katrine Axholm tror på kærligheden. Hun er parterapeut, og hun tror på,at vi mennesker inderst inde ønsker os at elske og blive elsket. En at dele livets op- og nedture med. At lykkes med familien og sidde sammen på en bænk, når vi bliver gamle og se tilbage på vores fælles liv. Hun ved også, at mange synes, kærligheden er svær. Kompliceret og smertefuld. Derfor opgiver over 50 procent og lader sig skille. Hun synes, de ofte går af de forkerte årsager. Fordi de ikke ved bedre. Fordi de tror, at kærlighed handler om at få noget af en anden. At et andet menneske skal give dem alt det, de har brug for og gøre dem lykkelige. Og når ikke det lykkes, så er det bedre at leve uden eller at prøve lykken med en anden. Men sådan behøver det ikke at være. Her i bogen inviteres du direkte ind i en række kærlighedshistorier, der beskriver de typiske udfordringer i parforholdet: midtvejskriser, utroskab, kulde, manglende kærlighed, tillid, kedsomhed og meget mere. Hovedpersonerne er både mænd og kvinder, der er nået til et punkt, hvor de ikke kan mere. De står ved en skillevej og skal træffe en beslutning.Du kan læse om deres dilemmaer, hvorfor de vælger at gå i parterapi, deres og partnerens indsigter og erkendelser i løbet af terapien, Katrine Axholms overvejelser undervejs og de perspektiver, som garanteret vil få dig til at se på dit eget parforhold med nye øjne. Du vil også få nogle direkte råd til, hvad du selv skal holde øje med i dit eget parforhold. Bogens formål er at inspirere dig til at se på dig selv og forstå din egen adfærd, så du og din partner kan lære at gøre noget andet og bedre og sammen (gen)finde kærligheden.

A Masterful Author and Jungian Analyst Examines the Qualities that Bring Meaning to Our Human Journey What is it that brings meaning to your life? Our culture tells us to seek wealth, power, prestige, or even enrollment in someone else's idea of a worthy cause--yet where do we turn when these myths fail to fulfill our need for purpose? "When the old stories and beliefs that once defined us have played out and grown exhausted," teaches Dr. James Hollis, "our task is to access our inner compass, the promptings of the psyche that help us find our way through the complex thickets of choice." A Life of Meaning is a profound audio exploration of the nature of meaning and how we can orient toward it or away from it with the choices we make. Through examination of myth, literature, historical figures, and the wisdom of depth psychology, Hollis provides penetrating insight into the search for purpose. Here you'll explore: - How our story-seeking mind forms our sense of meaning from early experience - Why these early stories inevitably fail as we are called to our own path - Skillfully accessing the inner oracle of your dreams - Shadow work--where we fear to tread, yet where our greatest treasures may be found - Missing the mark--examining the archetype of the Seven Deadly Sins through a psychological lens - Dispelling the "ghosts" that haunt our memories and possess our psyche - Finding personal resilience in times of internal and external change - Living more fully in the presence of our mortality In A Life of Meaning, James Hollis offers no easy answers or feel-good certainties--instead, he shares his most valuable questions and reflections to help you find the courage, persistence, and inspiration to navigate your own odyssey. "It's humbling work, this process of getting our lives back," he teaches. "Yet I submit to you that's worth the price of the ticket, for in the journey our lives become ever more luminous."
