The essence of my book

Leaving a mark in this world in Global Psychology

How do you leave an enduring mark?

Leaving an enduring mark in this world before leaving it consumes humanity. However, how do you leave a mark? Benjamin Katz creates a book that will help you do just that. Global Psychology introduces Eddie’s dilemma, a representation of countless people who possess self-knowledge and the potential to leave a mark but are self-focused, self-indulgent and passive about their responsibility to our world.

In the bible, after Adam has tasted the fruits of knowledge, God asks him, “Where are you Adam?” of course, God know where Adam hides, and therefore the meaning of the question is “Now, Adam, that you know who you are and your world as well, are you going to shoulder your responsibilities toward your world?”

The reply to this question and the commitment it implies will determine not only what kind of life each of us shape but also what kind of future humanity will form. Benjamin is convinced that man is the creator of all things and all ideas and can accomplish miracles. Nevertheless, man is also bedeviled by opposites, torn by fears of failures, and is prone to self-deception, giving up rather easily and become comfort seeking.

In part one, Katz proposes to you a new kind of self-knowledge, which is much more proactive, offensive and strategic than mainstream psychology offers. On top of it, he introduces to you knowledge of our imminent necessities and challenges in the world. In part two, you are presented with your potential grand mission. Benjamin introduces to you a vision that encompasses not only a new life view but also practical, social, psychological, and political tasks that, if you carry them out, will leave an enduring mark in our world. He claims that what is necessary in our time is to raise among us many leaders who understand what astringency is all about. Astringency means telling people what they don’t want to hear and leading them where they don’t want to go. It’s not comforting people about their current situation and reas­suring them it will get better. It’s telling them that the situ­ation is likely to get worse and that only their collective, goal oriented and farsighted efforts can determine how soon it will start getting better.
