About this Item

Paperback. The New American Macho - A Manifesto "No man in this country is saved from the overarching demand that he be macho. Even men who have achieved something different did so in relation to, flight from, and in disagreement with, the macho picture and creed of the American male. In short, this old macho, for it does come to us through ancient times, asks men to image themselves in brute strength with a desire to go to war, a strong face that will disallow tears, and a superior attitude over women that will sanction despicable abuse of thought and deed. This macho is the bread winner, the head of the household, the tyrant of discipline and punishment and the great reasoner undeterred by affect and effect. The new macho is born from one quality: compassion. Compassion guides the man toward the ancient dictum "do unto others as you would have them do unto you" -The Golden Rule. Or go to any religious philosophy and extract the concept of brotherhood from the faith and know what it is to live in that spirit and find the new macho. You can also find the new macho anywhere you are asked to "do no harm" - from the Hippocratic Oath to Buddhism. To do no harm is a compassionate stance. To live in brotherhood, treating others as you would prefer to have them treat you with an eye to do no harm is a compassionate philosophy which allows men to be virile in their humanity. The new chauvinism is imbued with glorious masculine power - a testosterone driven high of bonded attachment to protect life!" In The New American Macho, author Mark Ruhala offers a path towards an expanded male consciousness that will be required as we move into Unity consciousness and a new era of Humanity. All the old, conditioned reflexes and ideas of the macho male will be transcended into a new paradigm of business, competition, parenting, education and relationships that is laid in a foundation of compassion. This is an exciting time in history as men are waking up to the illogical conclusions of war as a resolver. Hope is high as the wave of the people is taking hold and breaking the stranglehold of corporations, politicians, and financiers to dictate the mores and norms. The New American Macho is a peek into a future that will be glorious and exhilarating, and packed with testosterone! This item is printed on demand.
