The Man of Zero

A captivating resource from David Deida for men experiencing emptiness and lack of motivation to achieve deeper meaning and powerful presence
Many men come to a point in life where they feel a sense of emptiness, meaninglessness, and lack of motivation. This state may be confused for depression, but David Deida reveals a vital distinction, inspiring new possibility for discernment and action. When a man grows tired of his life, what can be done?
Past 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 pleasurable than sex and more complete than success.
Written in a spacious stanza format with short chapters that evoke insight and experience, Deida shares a journey into relearning how to live your life while resting as Zero-being effortlessly present, aware, and complete without the need to seek greater fulfillment. Relax into effortless sexual loving. Unfold inherited trauma that arises when you're no longer distracted by a life of constantly seeking for more. Learn how to be fully present in communion with those you love. Remember how to live as a Man of Zero.
