It was a while back that I started reading the book “No more Mr nice guy” by Robert Glover, that the reality of our needs became radically obvious. Our needs are a strong force that shape our world view constantly and have an influence on how we experience reality at its core level. Glover described how men fall victim of…
The Warrior Archetype
It’s not uncommon for idealists to be seen us impractical people living outside the real world. They are viewed as incurable romantics, lacking common sense on how things work and many people would suspect idealism to be a reaction to a world they have little control.
