{"product_id":"becoming-a-barbarian-9780985452353","title":"Becoming a Barbarian","description":"Becoming a Barbarian is a follow-up to Donovan's cult hit, The Way of Men. Good, modern, \"civilized\" Western men today are expected to think like \"citizens of the world\" - obligated to everyone and no one. Natural, meaningful tribal connections have been substituted with synthetic, disposable consumer identities. Without a sense of who they are and what group they have a place in, modern men are becoming increasingly detached, disoriented, vulnerable, and ever more easily manipulated. Becoming a Barbarian attacks the emasculated emptiness of life in the modern West - \"The Empire of Nothing\" -and shows men how to think tribally again. It reveals the weaknesses of universalistic thinking, and challenges readers to become the kind of men who could go \"all-in\" and devote their lives to one group of people above all others. Becoming a Barbarian is about finding a tribe, finding a purpose, and choosing to live the kind of life that undermines the narrative of the Empire.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Dissonant Hum\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/15\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780985452353\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 164\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.80h x 5.20w x 0.60d","brand":"Jack Donovan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36646427295900,"sku":"9780985452353","price":11.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_c7a40848-86e0-4ad3-8fbe-f85536e63d27.jpg?v=1603864117","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/becoming-a-barbarian-9780985452353","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
