What you're for: The real meaning of "Do What Thou Wilt" - and How to Find Your True Will - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

You have been reading Aleister Crowley's most famous line wrong. So has almost everyone.

"Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law" gets quoted as a licence for selfishness — permission to do whatever you feel like. It never meant that. Understood properly, it is the most demanding instruction ever written: find out what you are actually for, and find the courage to live it.

What You're For takes a genuinely radical idea and strips it back from a century of caricature. Drawing on Thelema, Carl Jung, Viktor Frankl, the Stoics and modern psychology, Paul Bowers offers a clear, unsparing guide to a single life-altering distinction: the difference between what you were conditioned to want and what you were built to do.

You will learn to tell the signal of your True Will from the noise of performance and expectation; why the real work is quiet, deliberate and lifelong; and why becoming who you are is the bravest thing a person can do.

You are not here to follow someone else's course. You are a star, and a star has its own.
