Summary

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.

    Was Muhammad Crazy?

    Through a careful psychological re-reading of the Qur'an and other biographical sources about Muhammad, the author identifies the pathological symptoms of the prophet of Islam. His diagnosis is unambiguous: the man suffered from a querulous paranoia with dissociative identity disorder. 
The author shows that Mohammed identified himself with previous prophets (Jesus and Moses in particular), whom he plagiarized. Adapting their words and deeds to the culture of the Arab world, he imposed these new doctrines on his people primarily through direct aggression and political manipulation. Yet, Islam was phenomenally successful during his lifetime and over the centuries. 
At this point, another question arises: How did Muhammad manage to convince the masses? The author then analyzes the personality of the submissive people and the success of this religion through the centuries. The author also deconstructs all the scientific and philosophical presuppositions behind the Muslim religion (cosmology, biology, psychology, etc.). Muhammad's moral and political discourse is confronted with its own contradictions.

    "Can human problems be solved? - 27 September 1980 
• Why have human beings throughout the world not been able to resolve human, 
daily problems of life? What are the things that prevent the solution of these 
problems completely? 
• When there is attention there is no centre from which I attend. 
• A poor man wants to be rich and a rich man wants to be richer. It is a movement 
of becoming, becoming, both outwardly and inwardly. Though it brings a great deal of pain and sometimes pleasure, this sense of becoming, fulfilling, achieving psychologically has made my life into all that it is. 
• Is love something that is common to all of us? 
• From the particular move to the general, from the general move away still 
deeper, and there perhaps is this purity of that thing called compassion, love and intelligence. But that means giving your mind and heart to this. Your whole being must be involved in this."

    This short audio presentation is designed to bring clear understanding of mindset to enhance your daily life, and to give you an opportunity to focus and reflect on the level of effective mindset currently in your life. "Whatever you believe about yourself on the inside, is what you will manifest on the outside." John Assaraf. Our underlying habitual thoughts, about ourselves and others, are often described as our "Mindset". We have greatness within us. All of us have unique gifts and abilities. But if our mindset is too fixed or negative we will never achieve our best life. 
We have a responsibility to develop our skills and maintain a positive mind. The more we begin to know and trust the power within, the more we connect with what we can be. 
A life truly worth living is within us and we can connect with it. In doing so, we grow and enrich our lives and the lives of others. 
It begins with our mindset.  
 
How this audio learning experience works 
This audio presentation has been designed using an experiential learning model, Kolb, D. A. (1984): concrete learning, reflective observation, abstract conceptualization, and active experimentation. 
By taking this approach we hope to cater for all learning styles. 
You will be given specific new information in the recording usually as “key tips”, “explanations” and “quotes”. You will be led through a gentle but positive meditative reflection process to assist you before conceptualisation and then putting your new skills into practice. 
You will be encouraged to return to the recording from time to time to re-listen and reinforce your learning and the desired changes in your life. 
Enjoy!
