Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Like its predecessor, 'Millennial Projections' (1982), this volume of short prose also contains sixteen pieces, and again it is an intensely philosophical and ideological project that is, however, more self-consciously avant-garde and determined to allow subjectivity, whether in first-person narrative or thought processes, its share of the limelight. This is especially so of the title piece, but it's also characteristic, on a completely different structural basis, of the last piece, 'Twelve Thinkers', who have more in common than might at first seem to be the case!

Download or read book A Selfish Man written by John O'Loughlin and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2014-06-26 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Another of those volumes of short prose in which a number of the author's principal philosophical themes are recycled in literary guise for the benefit of a wider understanding, 'A Selfish Man' begins with the title piece, a first-person narrative by an advocate of spiritual selfishness, and winds its way through fifteen other examples of John O'Loughlin's art in this field, culminating in a series of interior monologues which feature twelve different thinkers who successively elaborate on their likes and dislikes from a similar ideological standpoint, thereby establishing a unity of mind which transcends their phenomenal differences. In between these two extremes there are varying amounts of unity and disunity between the characters, but all are caught in the throes of a vigorous philosophical debate. For here, as in other kindred works, action is subordinate to thought, whether we are dealing with a drive to the cinema, a couple watching television, reflections on a soapbox orator, a clandestine affair, or the vicissitudes of a revolutionary politician. Sometimes the characters have names, sometimes not. Sometimes they are a fairly transparent projection of the author, at other times a degree of fictional objectivity has gone into their fashioning. Whatever the case, 'A Selfish Man', dating from 1983, bears ample witness to this philosopher-artist's search for literary perfection through thought.

Download or read book The Selfish Husband written by Jordan Parker and published by . This book was released on 2014-08-12 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If you're living with a selfish and inconsiderate husband and you need help coping with - or better yet transforming - him, then this book is for you!Having a selfish husband can cause a lot of friction, stress, and negative emotions in a relationship including anger, frustration, disappointment, and resentment. And as time goes on, these negative emotions only become deeper. They start to permeate into the marriage, and over time, you'll start to find fault with everything he does, and can be quick to become angry or annoyed with your spouse. What's more, a selfish husband not only affects your marriage, but it can also affect you as an individual, and the course of your life and daily experiences. I'm sure you're wondering: It actually possible to change your husband? Or at least help him see that his selfish ways are destructive and unnecessary? The answer is "Yes," although it can sometimes be a long process, depending on the stubbornness of your husband's personality. However, if you're attempting to force your husband to change, or nag at him or rag on him, he's likely to resist and rebel, even if only passively. In this case, you will both end up frustrated with each other, and additional negative feelings will bloom. So instead, I urge you to read this book and to follow the strategic guidelines set forth to consequently make him a willing and cooperative participant in his own transformation. Let's get started!
Download or read book Your Life Isn t for You written by Seth Adam Smith and published by National Geographic Books. This book was released on 2014-09-22 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Give Your Life to Live Your Life In this book, Seth Adam Smith expands on the philosophy behind his extraordinarily popular blog post “Marriage Isn’t for You”—which received over 30 million hits and has been translated into over twenty languages—and shares how living for others can enrich every aspect of your life, just as it has his. With a mix of humor, candor, and compassion, he reveals how, years before his marriage, his self-obsession led to a downward spiral of addiction and depression, culminating in a suicide attempt at the age of twenty. Reflecting on the love and support he experienced in the aftermath, as well as on the lessons he learned from a difficult missionary stint in Russia, his time as a youth leader in the Arizona desert, his marriage, and even a story his father read to him as a child, he shares his deep conviction that the only way you can find your life is to give it away to others. Your Life Isn’t For You was recently named the Gold Medalist for Inspirational Memoir in the 2015 Living Now Book Awards!
Download or read book A Selfish Plan to Change the World written by Justin Dillon and published by Thomas Nelson. This book was released on 2017-05-23 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You are exactly what the world needs What if your search for meaning could solve the world’s problems? What if everything you are passionate about could save a life or change history? Justin Dillon argues it can, and A Selfish Plan to Change the World shows how. In this paradigm-shifting new book, Dillon--the founder of Slavery Footprint and Made in a Free World--reveals the secret to a life of deep and lasting significance: the discovery that our need for meaning is inextricably linked to the needs of the world. A Selfish Plan to Change the World delivers a revolutionary method for meeting both needs. Drawing upon his own unlikely transformation from touring musician to founder of a global movement and telling the stories of other surprising world-changers, Dillon shows how to create a life of deep purpose by stepping into the problems of the world. Taking readers on a journey from sweatshops in India to punk rock concerts in Ireland, Dillon exposes the limitations of the "giving back" approach involving donations and volunteerism to reveal the unexpected power of "giving in" to pursue self-interest in a way that alters the very dynamics of the world’s most challenging problems. A Selfish Plan to Change the World is your "self-help-others" guide to a life that matters, demonstrating how you can repurpose your existing talents, backstory, and networks to improve the lives of others. Changing the world no longer belongs only to martyrs and professional do-gooders. You can live an extraordinary life. You can change the world. All you ever needed was a plan.

Book excerpt: How universal is selfishness? Is either gender more selfish than the other? Are some people born more selfish, or are they simply conditioned and allowed to be more self-assertive?Observing private relationships of average couples with the aspect of selfishness in mind can be quite a revelation. Just look at couples' lifestyles, the way they share chores, and their attitudes toward sex, parenting, or finances. Could it be that some familial traditions or habits have stuck simply because they are more comfortable for the more selfish?The Selfish Gender looks at these issues from many aspects. In fact, it is like a mirror—especially in that sometimes mirrors show us things we'd rather not know. It's not easy to realize that you are not as equal in your relationship as you might have thought. Consider this book a good friend who finally gathered the confidence to tell you what your relationship and the way you behave with your partner look like from the outside.Your first reaction is likely to be denial, even if you recognize yourself in some stories. It takes time for the bad news to sink in. But it gets better because—no matter how slowly—you will be able to improve your relationship.

Download or read book The Virtue of Selfishness written by Ayn Rand and published by Penguin. This book was released on 1964-11-01 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A collection of essays that sets forth the moral principles of Objectivism, Ayn Rand's controversial, groundbreaking philosophy. Since their initial publication, Rand's fictional works—Anthem, The Fountainhead, and Atlas Shrugged—have had a major impact on the intellectual scene. The underlying theme of her famous novels is her philosophy, a new morality—the ethics of rational self-interest—that offers a robust challenge to altruist-collectivist thought. Known as Objectivism, her divisive philosophy holds human life—the life proper to a rational being—as the standard of moral values and regards altruism as incompatible with man's nature. In this series of essays, Rand asks why man needs morality in the first place, and arrives at an answer that redefines a new code of ethics based on the virtue of selfishness.
