Summary

In "The Sexual Life of Our Time in Its Relations to Modern Civilization," Iwan Bloch presents a pioneering analysis of human sexuality against the backdrop of contemporary society. This work delves into the interplay between sexual behaviors, societal norms, and cultural transformations in the early 20th century. Emphasizing a multi-disciplinary approach, Bloch interweaves historical narratives, psychoanalytic theory, and sociological inquiry, making the text a rich tapestry of intellectual discourse that sets it apart from contemporaneous works, inviting readers to interrogate the moral frameworks that shape sexual practices. Iwan Bloch, often regarded as a precursor to sexology, draws on his extensive background in medicine and sociology to challenge the prevailing sexual mores of his time. His critical stance on sexual repression and advocacy for sexual freedom reflect the burgeoning feminist and sexual liberation movements that characterized the early 1900s. Bloch's passionate engagement with these subjects emerged from both personal interest and his broader desire to promote understanding in an era marked by rapid social change. This seminal work is essential reading for anyone interested in the historical and societal dimensions of sexuality. Bloch's insights resonate profoundly in today's discourse on sexual identity and expression, making it a crucial text for scholars, activists, and general readers seeking to understand the complexities of human sexuality in the context of modern civilization.

    We all carry sexual shame. Whether we grew up in the repressive purity culture of American Evangelical Christianity or not, we've all been taught in subtle and not-so-subtle ways that sex (outside of very specific contexts) is immoral and taboo. Psychotherapist Matthias Roberts helps readers overcome their shame around sex by overcoming three unhealthy coping mechanisms we use to manage that shame. 
     
     
     
    Beyond Shame encourages each of us to determine our own definition of healthy sex, while avoiding the ditches of boundaryless sex positivity on the one hand and strict moralistic boundaries on the other. Define your sexual values on your own terms, overcome your shame, and start having great, healthy sex.

    In everything from health care and politics to technology and economics, we are experiencing feelings of loss, anger, and anxiety. In the Enneagram's wisdom, our number determines how we respond. We automatically move to another number when we're feeling stress and to yet another when we're feeling secure. Such moves may help us feel better temporarily but don't last. 
     
     
     
    For those who want to dive deeper into Enneagram wisdom, expert teacher Suzanne Stabile opens the concept of three Centers of Intelligence: thinking, feeling, and doing. When we learn to manage these centers, each for its intended purpose, we open a path to reducing fear, improving relationships, growing spiritually, and finding wholeness. Drawing on the dynamic stability of the Enneagram, she explains each number's preferred and repressed Center of Intelligence and its role in helping us move toward internal balance. Using brief focused chapters, this book provides what we need to deal with the constant change and complexity of our world to achieve lasting transformation in our lives.

    Chapter 1 
    How to regain your power after begging and pleading 
    How can you regain the power back after doing all the begging and pleading and crying and all that shit like that? 
      when you are begging and pleading and crying, understand that’s natural. It’s called the fear of loss, you have the fear of losing something. You might not notice that the person already mentally checked out on you for whatever reason only they can tell you.  
    This is what you can do to regain your power back: 
    1. Stop all that- because it’s not going to do any good. The more you beg and plead and do all this nice stuff and jump though all these monkey ass hoops for this person, they don’t care, they are not there mentally, their mind gone, so the best thing for you to do is stop, just stop. That’s the first thing you can do to start regaining your power back, stop all that. 
    2. Then what you want to do is Become independent- the more you don’t need that person, the more that person wants you. It’s backwards, its nature, it is set up that way. The more you don’t want something the more you get it. Kind of like rich people, they get richer because they are already rich, they are not working for money. But what I’m trying to tell you is this, when you don’t need them and you are self-reliant, and you are independent and you don’t need them for absolutely nothing, they’ll want you. Now this goes in business, whatever area of your life you want to place it in, when you don’t need it there it is. Really this is how you operate from a position of power, always remember people want what they can't have.
