Description
From author of million-copy bestseller The Way of the Superior Man, a guide to help men achieve deep meaning and true freedom in their lives.
Many men come to a point in life where they feel a sense of emptiness or lack of motivation. This state may be confused for depression, but David Deida reveals a vital distinction, inspiring a new possibility for discernment and action. When a man grows tired of his life, what can be done?
Beyond the basic man who wants to win and be pleasured, or the superior man who wants to achieve mastery and serve the world, there is a state of being known as the “Man of Zero.” Even if your life is filled with love and success, you may end up feeling dissatisfied. When you don’t want to do anything and life feels meaningless, what’s the next step? Zero motivation can be a portal to a deeper way of living. The Man of Zero shows a way to relax through the doorway of emptiness into a freedom more powerful than sex and more boundless than success.
Written in short chapters of pith instructions that evoke immediate insight and experience, Deida shows how to live your life while resting as Zero—being effortlessly present, aware, and complete without the need for striving. Relax into primal power. Ease into drama-free sex. Liberate creative flow. Remember how to live as The Man of Zero.
