Being in flow is when you are “in the zone,” “on your game,” or even “on fire.” It is both a mental state and a physical one. You have a feeling of complete focus, full involvement, and deep enjoyment in whatever you are doing. You feel the activity takes no energy from you—indeed you feel that it is giving you energy. You barely notice the passage of time. You feel calm but almost ecstatic. Most of us have glimpsed being in this state. But what if you could be in your zone not just for a moment of flow, nor merely for a day, but always and forever? This book shows you how.

In The Management of Savagery, Max Blumenthal excavates the real story behind America's dealings with the world and shows how the extremist forces that now threaten peace across the globe are the inevitable flowering of America's imperial designs. Washington's secret funding of the mujahedin provoked the Russian invasion of Afghanistan in 1979. With guns and money, the United States has ever since sustained the extremists, including Osama Bin Laden, who have become its enemies.

In his most renowned work, Max Stirner makes a powerful philosophical assertion for radical egoism, rejecting the socially-focused perspectives of both mainstream ideologies and revolutionary movements in favor of an uncompromising individualism. Although often discussed through the lens of other philosophers, such as Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels—who famously critiqued it in The German Ideology—Stirners ideas resonate deeply on their own. This book invites readers to explore its lyrical prose and confront its provocative philosophical challenges, making it a timeless read that continues ...

Throughout the twentieth century, The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism was regarded as an important sociological and economic text, continuing into the twenty-first century, when extreme capitalism has continued to come under fire. Weber's work provided a history, from where the profit motive could be ethically justified. Max Weber combined his interests in sociology, political economy and history to give perspective to his analysis. Concentrating principally on the experience of the West, he returned to the time when religion, its concepts and practice, dominated society.

Max Weber, Gründer der modernen Soziologie, nahm es 1919, kurz nach dem ersten Weltkrieg, auf sich, in Zeiten von politischem Chaos und Revolutionsphantasien nicht nur das politische Geschehen in Deutschland zu analysieren, sondern die grundsätzliche Frage zu beantworten, welche Charaktereigenschaften und Ansichten für einen Menschen, der die Politik als Berufung sieht, nötig sind. Besonders interessant und geradezu zeitlos in der Analyse ist Webers Unterscheidung zwischen "Gesinnungsethik" und "Verantwortungsethik" - Begriffe, die noch heute Politiker in wahre Zwickmühlen bringen können.

Manley charts a course for a wholly new future of the self that’s neither particularly manly nor particularly masculine, but responsive, invested, and caring.
