David Deida and The Man of Zero
What happens after you get bored with growing, achieving, and making money?
Does trusting the universe sound like hokey new-age bullshit?
And does living a life without goals or purpose sound scary or liberating?
Whether you know it or not, David Deida’s work has shaped many of the conversations around sex, purpose, and meaning that are so common today. His book, The Way of the Superior Man has sold over a million copies and opened the door for men to create a life that goes beyond the basics of making money and trying to get laid.
But what happens when even purpose and meaning no longer light you up?
Today David and I talk about his new book, The Man of Zero and why emptiness and meaningless are a doorway to something much, much deeper.
In this interview:
- How is a man of zero different than a superior man?
- Trusting the universe to live you
- Being lived by love
- Surrendering to uncertainty
- You’re already living as the mystery
Plus:
- Bypassing, depression, and laziness
- Why most men think about freedom wrong
- Why the mind creates problems
- Seeking fulfillment in things that will never fulfill
- Why does a man of zero have no hope?
