The Barbarian in You: Living With Vigor, Wonder, & Fellowship - Hardcover

by Ed Hinman (Author)

This book is for anyone who feels dulled by modern life and wants to feel more alive. To overcome the inertia, anger, and isolation of our digital age, author Ed Hinman offers an ancient remedy: Live more like our barbarian ancestors; that is, with more vigor, wonder, and fellowship.

Throughout this fun, sometimes funny, and always adventurous book, Hinman redefines barbarian as anyone who meets life with raw energy, joyful curiosity, and deep connection. Drawing inspiration from a wild cast of characters, including Julius Caesar, Michel de Montaigne, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and David Lee Roth, Hinman's fifteen essays offer an ancient playbook for modern life.Part history, part memoir, and part call to adventure, The Barbarian in You invites you to reclaim your ancestral energy. You will come away stirred, amused, and nudged toward a more powerful, enchanting, and deeply human way of life.
