Co doopravdy znamená být mužem? Žár v těle na tuto otázku odpovídá pomocí smělé konfrontace zastaralých modelů mužství, které muže zbídačují, zraňují a odcizují. Místo nich poodhaluje, jak mohou muži najít vlastní cestu k porozumění jedinečným mužským mystériím i procesu, pomocí něhož opět objevujeme novou vitalitu a mužnost. Ty poté prostoupí každý aspekt našeho života. Kniha předkládá nový pohled na muže v práci, při hře, ve válce i ve věcech lásky. Jde v ní o posun od narušenosti k celistvosti, o pěstování péče o druhé a o uspokojivé vztahy mezi přáteli i v rodině. Dosud nikdy nehledalo tolik mužů nové role, postoje a způsoby existence. V této silné a posilující knize Sam Keen převypravuje moderním způsobem starodávný příběh hledání, co to znamená být mužem – mužem s žárem v těle a vášní v srdci.

America is experiencing a profound spiritual crisis, with many seeking meaning through traditional religions, new cults, self-help books, and various fads. Bill Moyers has described this quest for spirituality as "the biggest story" of our time. Sam Keen, a bestselling author, tackles this crisis by offering a practical guide to infusing spirituality into daily life. He uses personal anecdotes to help readers navigate what he terms "spiritual bullshit" and rediscover the sacred in love, family, work, and politics, ultimately seeking the "Unknown God." Keen, a well-educated social commentator and philosopher, has been featured in a Bill Moyers PBS interview and served as a consulting editor at Psychology Today for over two decades. He addresses the challenge of discerning valid beliefs in a world filled with quick fixes and false spiritual leaders. Keen also explores the intricate relationship between sex and spirituality, discussing the tension between desire and morality, and how to harmonize sensuality with spirituality for deeper connections. Furthermore, he offers over a dozen suggestions for personal rituals that can help individuals recognize the sacred in their lives, such as creating a private sanctuary, dedicating time for deep reflection, and designating personal celebration days.

The author of the New York Times bestseller Fire in the Belly guides us on an enlightening journey across the emotional landscape of our own inner psyches. Using self-tests and practical advice, Inward Bound teaches us to master the art of emotional literacy—how to understand what our minds and bodies are really telling us through the ups and downs of our emotions. Paying special attention to “negative” emotions such as fatigue, depression, grief, and especially boredom—the undiagnosed disease from which most “normal” people suffer—Sam Keen shows us how the low periods in our lives can actually be the impetus for the most profound and lasting change. While most people deny emotional lows in the hopes that they will go away; eat, drink, or tranquilize themselves; take mood elevators; or otherwise fill their time with empty activities, Keen instead teaches us how to re-vision negative emotions as positive way stations on the path to self-discovery. In Inward Bound , Keen shows us how to recover the full spectrum of our feelings and points the reader on a journey to greater health, intimacy, vitality, and a renewed joy in life.
