Self-Control Its Kingship and Majesty - Enriched edition

William George Jordan

Sinopse

In "Self-Control, Its Kingship and Majesty," William George Jordan delineates the profound significance of self-discipline as a foundational pillar of personal and societal success. Written in an engaging and accessible prose style, the book navigates the complex interplay between emotion and rationality, advocating self-control not merely as a tool of restraint but as a form of empowerment. Jordan weaves together psychological insights, anecdotal evidence, and philosophical reflections, positioning self-control within the broader literary context of self-improvement literature emerging in the early 20th century, when industrialization and rapid societal changes prompted individuals to seek personal mastery amidst chaos. William George Jordan, a prominent American essayist and editor of the early 1900s, was deeply influenced by the philosophical ideals of the time, particularly those concerning individual agency and morality. His experiences as a motivational speaker and writer provided him with a unique perspective on the challenges individuals face in achieving self-mastery. With a keen understanding of human nature, Jordan sought to empower his readers to cultivate self-control as a means to unlock their fullest potential and navigate the complexities of modern life. This compelling work is highly recommended for anyone seeking practical wisdom and inspiration in the pursuit of personal growth. Jordan's insights into the nature of self-control resonate powerfully in today's context, where distractions abound and emotional resilience is invaluable. "Self-Control, Its Kingship and Majesty" is not only a guide to self-discipline but a timeless reminder of the majesty inherent in mastering oneself.

Education Imagination and Myth...

James Hillman

James Hillman is the father of Archetypal Psychology. This rare program focuses on Education, Imagination and Myth with James Hillman. Here is a transcribed excerpt: 
 
"And it's very important for the teacher to allow these things to occur, to feel them, to experience them even to record them so that she or he feels comfortable with the strangeness of the imaginative world with the gods and the demons and the animals and the jungles and the territories that are the source of one's imaginative life. 
Unless the teachers comfortable with that he or she will censor and repress or suppress the imaginative life of the pupil. It seems to me that everyone can be re-tread. ▪ We can all get a retread and you unlearn. 
I mean, one of the basic things of learning is unlearning what you've learned, not just negative capability, but negative learning learning against what you've learned. 
You have to learn the stuff and then you see through it and you unlearn it."

ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK 
In "Four Thousand Weeks: Time Management for Mortals" by Oliver Burkeman, the author explores our complicated relationship with time and the pervasive sense of "never having enough." Burkeman rejects the typical productivity-obsessed time management advice, instead arguing that we should embrace our limitations and become comfortable with neglecting certain things. He encourages us to consciously choose what to procrastinate on, resist the allure of "middling priorities," and learn to rest and enjoy leisure for its own sake. Ultimately, "Four Thousand Weeks" guides readers toward accepting the reality of our finite time and finding meaning in the present moment, rather than constantly striving for future fulfillment.
