Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the fantasy novel "The Male Hierarchy," the kingdom of Thalasia is governed by a social order divided into three clubs: the Alpha's, the Sigma's, and the Beta's. Chad, an Alpha male, is determined to maintain his power and authority, while Jacob, a Sigma male, challenges him and proves his own worth. Jack, a Beta male, takes a different approach and uses his intelligence and alliances to climb the ranks. As the male hierarchy faces external threats and internal power struggles, the dynamics shift and evolve. The story explores themes of competition, unity, and the potential for change within the hierarchy. Jacob discovers a magical realm and forms an alliance with its inhabitants to protect Thalasia. He shares his discovery with the male hierarchy and proposes a new vision for unity and cooperation. Despite initial resistance, the clubs work together to defend Thalasia and successfully repel a threat. Tensions arise between Jacob and Chad, but they eventually reconcile and continue to lead the council of unity. Jacob emphasizes the importance of working together and respecting each other's contributions. Jacob and Chad's conflict escalates during a council meeting, with Chad refusing to accept the new era of unity and cooperation. Meanwhile, Jack, a Beta male, starts to question the violence and fear that is tearing Thalasia apart. He meets a street performer named Marco who inspires him to see the world beyond Thalasia's borders. Jack begins to advocate for unity and cooperation, eventually gaining support from other Sigma and Beta males. However, tensions rise again when Jacob proposes an alliance with a magical realm, causing a heated argument with Chad. Jacob receives support from other club members and decides to pursue the alliance despite Chad's objections. As Thalasia takes steps towards a brighter future, Jacob and Jack realize that there may be a bigger problem lurking beneath the surface. The story ends with Chad's sudden disappearance, leaving Jacob and Jack to search for him and uncover the truth. In this text, Jacob and his companions find Chad cursed and in need of help. They transport him back to Thalasia but are attacked by rogue creatures who take Chad and leave Jacob and Jack stranded. Jacob and Jack resolve their conflict and continue their search for Chad. They eventually find him, break the curse, and return to Thalasia. However, they encounter a powerful Guardian who asks for their help in fighting the darkness threatening the forest. They defeat a dark creature but return to Thalasia to find a betrayal by Jack and Richard, who have plotted to overthrow Jacob. They capture Jacob and declare themselves the new leaders of the male hierarchy. Jacob, once a respected member of his group, is left alone and helpless in a dungeon as his former comrades walk away. Despite being trapped, Jacob refuses to give up and searches for an escape. He is eventually freed by Richard, but not before Jack reveals his sinister plans. Jacob knows he must gather his allies and regain control of Thalasia from the tyrants who have taken over. With the help of Chad, the Alpha male, they explore the underground hideout and eventually find a way out. They are greeted by a group of animals, which they see as a sign of something happening in the kingdom. They follow the animals and discover a group of sorcerers attempting to summon a demon. Chad and Jacob defeat the sorcerers and save Thalasia, but they uncover a deeper threat when they realize Jack had been working with the sorcerers. They prepare to face the challenges ahead and continue their quest for unity and peace. They face opposition from the demon's minions but ultimately defeat the demon and are celebrated as heroes.

You already know that in any group of beings, animal or human, the Alpha has the highest rank in the hierarchy. Have you ever wondered why in every pack of wolves, there is one that stands out from the rest; the one that leads the others, decides where they will hunt, rest, who eats first, who gets to mate with the females etc. Humans have a lot in common with wolves especially given that we live in social settings. Naturally, there has to be a social hierarchy for there to be order! In every human pack, there is always the alpha wolf kind of a man. That alpha male that seems to know the right thing to do at the right time and never seems unsure of himself. That male who enjoys all the success, attracts the best women, and seems to clinch every leadership position available. You can be the alpha male who lives the life most others only dream about, enjoys all the successes one can have in life, and exudes confidence and that dominant leadership acumen in every group. This book will take you on a wonderful journey to the alpha world where Beta males become alpha males.

This book is a gold mine of techniques you can adopt to grow from the male you have always been and into the alpha everyone will look up to for motivation, inspiration, and direction.

Download or read book Hierarchy in the Forest written by Christopher BOEHM and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2009-06-30 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Are humans by nature hierarchical or egalitarian? Hierarchy in the Forest addresses this question by examining the evolutionary origins of social and political behavior. Christopher Boehm, an anthropologist whose fieldwork has focused on the political arrangements of human and nonhuman primate groups, postulates that egalitarianism is in effect a hierarchy in which the weak combine forces to dominate the strong. The political flexibility of our species is formidable: we can be quite egalitarian, we can be quite despotic. Hierarchy in the Forest traces the roots of these contradictory traits in chimpanzee, bonobo, gorilla, and early human societies. Boehm looks at the loose group structures of hunter-gatherers, then at tribal segmentation, and finally at present-day governments to see how these conflicting tendencies are reflected. Hierarchy in the Forest claims new territory for biological anthropology and evolutionary biology by extending the domain of these sciences into a crucial aspect of human political and social behavior. This book will be a key document in the study of the evolutionary basis of genuine altruism. Table of Contents: The Question of Egalitarian Society Hierarchy and Equality Putting Down Aggressors Equality and Its Causes A Wider View of Egalitarianism The Hominoid Political Spectrum Ancestral Politics The Evolution of Egalitarian Society Paleolithic Politics and Natural Selection Ambivalence and Compromise in Human Nature References Index Reviews of this book: This well-written book, geared toward an audience with background in the behavioral and evolutionary sciences but accessible to a broad readership, raises two general questions: 'What is an egalitarian society?' and 'How have these societies evolved?'...[Christopher Boehm] takes the reader on a journey from the Arctic to the Americas, from Australia to Africa, in search of hunter-gatherer and tribal societies that emanate the egalitarian ethos--one that promotes generosity, altruism and sharing but forbids upstartism, aggression and egoism. Throughout this journey, Boehm tantalizes the reader with vivid anthropological accounts of ridicule, criticism, ostracism and even execution--prevalent tactics used by subordinates in egalitarian societies to level the social playing field...Hierarchy in the Forest is an interesting and thought-provoking book that is surely an important contribution to perspectives on human sociality and politics. --Ryan Earley, American Scientist Reviews of this book: Combing an exhaustive ethnographic survey of human societies from groups of hunter-gatherers to contemporary residents of the Balkans with a detailed analysis of the behavioral attributes of non-human primates (chimpanzees, gorillas, bonobos), Boehm focuses on whether humans are hierarchical or egalitarian by nature...[Boehm's hypotheses] are invariably intriguing and well documented...He raises topics of wide interest and his book should get attention. --Publishers Weekly Boehm has been the first to look at egalitarianism with a cold, unromantic eye. He sees it as a victory over hierarchical tendencies, which are equally marked in our species. I would predict that his insightful examination will reverberate within anthropology and the social sciences as well as among biologists interested in the evolution of social systems. --Frans de Waal, Emory University Hierarchy in the Forest is an original and stimulating contribution to thinking about the origins of egalitarianism. I personally find Boehm's ideas convincing, but whether one agrees with him or not, he has formulated his hypotheses in such a way that this book is likely to set the terms of the discussion for the forseeable future. --Barbara Smuts, University of Michigan The most unique and interesting feature of this clear, well written book is the way Boehm links the study of nonhuman primates (particularly chimpanzees) to traditional concepts of political anthropology. As a political scientist, I was intrigued by Boehm's suggestion that democracy, both ancient and modern, could be understood as the expression of the same natural dispositions that support the egalitarianism of nomadic bands and sedentary tribes. I expect that many scholars in biology, anthropology, and the social sciences would learn from this stimulating book. Even those who disagree with Boehm's arguments are likely to be provoked in instructive ways. --Larry Arnhart, Northern Illinois University Chris Boehm boldly and cogently attacks a whole orthodoxy in anthropology which sees hunter-gatherer 'egalitarianism' as somehow the basic form of human society. No praise can be too high for Boehm's brilliant and courageous book. --Robin Fox, Rutgers University

Book excerpt: "I can't live this way anymore." "I've given up trying to change him." "I can't ever be good enough." "He won't listen to me anyway." As a clinical psychologist, Dr. Ron Welch has heard many women in controlling marriages pour out their hearts. They feel trapped, helpless, stuck in a situation with no solution and no way out. In this candid book, Welch offers real hope. He shows women how controlling husbands develop, why wives allow themselves to be controlled, and strategies to help both husband and wife change. Welch struggled as a controlling husband for years but found help and healing in his relationship with his wife. He uses that experience, as well as examples from the lives of the couples he's worked with, to show women that just because "he's always been this way" doesn't mean their marriage must be that way forever. He teaches women valuable practical skills for coping with the challenges they face and transforming the power and control issues in their marriages. For wives of controlling husbands, along with the friends and family members who love and are concerned about them, this is an essential resource. Counselors will also find it helpful as they work with hurting couples.

Book excerpt: The new model for business success: replace top-down Alpha management with collaboration, connection, and increased job satisfaction—the Beta model The Fall of the Alphas explores the sweeping changes taking place in the corporate and social cultures of today's most successful organizations. Utilizing years of advising companies of all sizes, hypergrowth startups to Fortune 500 company management teams, Dana Ardi identifies a pivotal evolutionary moment: the decline of the traditional Alpha-model (the top-down, male-dominated, authoritarian, corner-office hierarchy that has ruled organizational landscapes for so long), as it is replaced by collaboration, connectivity, and the sharing of power. As Ardi persuasively demonstrates, in the new Beta organization, it is the team players, the sage advisors, the network experts, the trusted assistants, and the communications facilitators who are coming to the fore, as savvy managers learn to lead through influence and collaboration rather than authority and competition. From technology behemoths to small and medium-sized businesses, Beta has become the new paradigm for success in today's challenging market. With insight and practical guidance, Dana Ardi shows how any business organization or team can re-organize from Alpha to Beta—and be more effective, flexible, and profitable

Download or read book Alpha God written by Hector A. Garcia and published by Prometheus Books. This book was released on 2015-03-10 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book uses evolutionary psychology as a lens to explain religious violence and oppression. The author, a clinical psychologist, examines religious scriptures, rituals, and canon law, highlighting the many ways in which our evolutionary legacy has shaped the development of religion and continues to profoundly influence its expression. The book focuses on the image of God as the dominant male in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. This traditional God concept is seen as a reflection of the “dominant ape” paradigm so evident in the hierarchical social structures of primates, with whom we have a strong genetic connection. The author describes the main features of male-dominated primate social hierarchies— specifically, the role of the alpha male as the protector of the group; his sexual dominance and use of violence and oppression to attain food, females, and territory; in-group altruism vs. out-group hostility (us vs. them); and displays of dominance and submission to establish roles within the social hierarchy. The parallels between these features of primate society and human religious rituals and concepts make it clear that religion, especially its oppressive and violent tendencies, is rooted in the deep evolutionary past. This incisive analysis goes a long way toward explaining the historic and ongoing violence committed in the name of religion.

Book excerpt: Have you ever wondered what it means to be an alpha male? The term is often mentioned, but what does it truly signify? Why do some men naturally command attention when they walk into a room, even if they aren't the most conventionally attractive? What is this “charisma” everyone talks about? Don’t worry, we’ll explore these questions and more in this book. The concept of "alpha" is closely tied to power—whether that power is within society, a group, or as an individual. You’ve probably encountered men who naturally take the lead in social situations. These men, regardless of their physical appearance, are often recognized as alpha males. They come in various shapes and sizes, but two key traits are consistently observed in all alphas: Alpha males are always first in line – Alpha males have a unique way of staying in the spotlight. They don’t rely on excessive humor, loud behavior, or flashy antics to gain attention. Instead, they know when and how to assert themselves. Alpha males naturally command power without seeking it; they receive it almost effortlessly.

Download or read book Great Apes written by Will Self and published by Grove/Atlantic, Inc.. This book was released on 2012-10-16 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Some people lost their sense of proportion, others their sense of scale, but Simon Dykes, a middle-aged, successful London painter, has lost his sense of perspective in a most disturbing fashion. After a night of routine, pedestrian debauchery, traipsing from toilet to toilet, and imbibing a host of narcotics on the way, Simon wakes up cuddled in his girlfriend’s loving arms. Much to his dismay, however, his girlfriend has turned into a chimpanzee. To add insult to injury, the psychiatric crash team sent to deal with him as he flips his lid is also comprised of chimps. Indeed, the entire city is overrun by clever primates, who, when they are not jostling for position, grooming themselves, or mating some of the females, can be found driving Volvos, hanging out on street corners, and running the world. Nonetheless convinced that he is still a human, Simon is confined to the emergency psychiatric ward of Charing Cross Hospital, where he becomes the patient of Dr. Zack Busner, clinical psychologist, medical doctor, anti-psychiatrist, and former television personality—an expert at the height of his reign as alpha male. As Busner attempts to convince him that “everyone who is fully sentient in this world are chimpanzees,” Simon struggles with the horrifying delusion that he is really a human trapped in a chimp’s body. Written with the same brilliant satiric wit that has distinguised Self’s earlier fiction, Great Apes is a hilarious, often disturbing, and absolutely original take on man’s place in the evolutionary chain. In a strange and twisted tale that recalls Jonathan Swift and Franz Kafka’s Metamorphosis, Will Self’s comic genius is impossible to ignore.

Decades later, the rangers brought them back, with the first wolves arriving from Canada in 1995. This is the incredible true story of one of those wolves. Wolf 8 struggles at first—he is smaller than the other pups, and often bullied—but soon he bonds with an alpha female whose mate was shot. An unusually young alpha male, barely a teenager in human years, Wolf 8 rises to the occasion, hunting skillfully, and even defending his family from the wolf who killed his father. But soon he faces a new opponent: his adopted son, who mates with a violent alpha female. Can Wolf 8 protect his valley without harming his protégé? Authored by a renowned wolf researcher and gifted storyteller, The Rise of Wolf 8 marks the beginning of The Alpha Wolves of Yellowstone series, which will transform our view of wolves forever.

Book excerpt: THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER 'Topical, engaging, personable, and above all, reassuring' Dr. Jordan B. Peterson From host of The Rubin Report, the most-watched talk show about free speech and big ideas on YouTube right now, a roadmap for free thinking in an increasingly censored world. The left is no longer liberal. Once on the side of free speech and tolerance, progressives now ban speakers from college campuses, "cancel" people who aren't up to date on the latest genders, and force religious people to violate their conscience. They have abandoned the battle of ideas and have begun fighting a battle of feelings. This uncomfortable truth has turned moderates and true liberals into the politically homeless class. Dave Rubin launched his political talk show The Rubin Report in 2015 as a meeting ground for free thinkers who realize that partisan politics is a dead end. He hosts people he both agrees and disagrees with--including those who have been dismissed, deplatformed, and despised--taking on the most controversial issues of our day. As a result, he's become a voice of reason in a time of madness. Now, Rubin gives you the tools you need to think for yourself in an age when tribal outrage is the only available alternative. Based on his own story as well as his experiences from the front lines of the free speech wars, this book will empower you to make up your own mind about what you believe on any issue and teach you the fine art of: Checking your facts, not your privilege, when it comes to today's most pervasive myths, from the wage gap to hate crimes. Standing up to the mob against today's absurd PC culture, when differences of opinion can bring relationships, professional or personal, to a sudden end. Defending classically liberal principles such as individual rights and limited government, because freedom is impossible without them. The Progressive Woke Machine is waging war against the last free thinkers in the world. Don't Burn This Book is the definitive account of our current political upheaval and your guide to surviving it.

Book excerpt: Are your Stone Age genes making it hard for you to find the right mate or remain faithful? This insightful book shows how our prehistoric desires continue to affect our present-day romantic relationships. It reveals why men prefer women with larger breasts (because they signal a woman's fertility), why women remain drawn to high-status men with money (because they can protect and provide), and why being single today can feel so isolating (because for 95 percent of human evolution we lived in tightly-knit communities). Finally understanding the very real impact of our primal drives can help us to become more aware of our behavior and make better romantic choices in the future.

Download or read book Facing Leviathan written by Mark Sayers and published by Moody Publishers. This book was released on 2014-02-25 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are two styles of leadership at war in the world. On one side the mechanical leader casts a vision of heroic action aided by pragmatism, reason, technology, and power. On the other side the organic leader strives to bring forth creativity, defying convention, and relishing life in culture’s margins. This leadership battle is at the heart of our contemporary culture, but it is also an ancient battle. It is the reinvocation of two great heresies, one rooted in an attempt to reach for godlikeness, the other bowing before the sea monster of the chaotic deep. Today’s leader must answer many challenging questions including: What does it mean to lead in a cultural storm? How do I battle the darkness in my own heart? Is there such a thing as a perfect leader? Weaving a history of leadership through the Enlightenment, Romanticism, tumultuous 19th-century Paris, and eventually World War II, cultural commentator Mark Sayers brings history and theology together to warn of the dangers yet to come, calling us to choose a better way.
