Well, to me, a man of zero is somebody who has come to the point in their life where their motivation has evaporated or isn't there.

They feel they still may be very active.

They may be married.

They may have children.

They may have businesses.

They may be creative.

But under it all, there's just a feeling like,

why am I doing this?

And part of me would rather not do anything kind of feeling.

And I noticed a lot of men feeling that, that I was interacting with over the years.

And so I wanted to address that.

It's a kind of sequel, but it's not necessarily a stage progression.

So somebody might go into the phase, I'll use the word phase, of A Man of Zero, and then after...

month a year a decade whatever they may come back to being the superior man to me what a superior man is is a man who is motivated by a deep sense of purpose and that sense of purpose might be to discover their purpose but they're motivated by a sense of purpose often to serve the world or to give their gift or to make things right and

when that evaporates or when they no longer feel that, that's the beginning of the phase of the man of zero.

Now, it may last a very short time.

It may last a long time, the man of zero phase.

So they may eventually go back to, oh, a new purpose.

For instance, for myself, this book emerged out of nowhere as a kind of, oh, I should write this book.

I need to write this book.
