How to Manage Your Dick: Redirect Sexual Energy and Discover Your More Spiritually Enlightened, Evolved Self

Rate this book
How to manage your what? That’s right, your DICK. HOW TO MANAGE YOUR DESTRUCTIVE IMPULSES WITH CYBER KINETICS is one of the most unusual books you will ever read. It is also one of the most important. Author Sean Joseph O’Reilly presents ideas about energy, moral development, and sexual management that will revolutionize your life. Our society emphasizes concepts like time and resource management, but for the most part ignores one very important kind of DICK Management. An ecology of personal-energy use that studies destructive, testosterone-driven impulses from the perspective of metaphysics and science, DICK Management is a new discipline that will teach you how to redirect sexual energy and discover your more spiritually enlightened, mentally evolved self. It’s about finding your own personal life ethic—not just about saying “no” or strictly controlling your desires but rather about saying “yes” to something larger than the tunnel vision of the Cyclops in your pants.

Fucking awesome

This book gets 5 out of 5 because it is so comprehensive, straight to the point, no bullshit, no pedantic pedagogyery - no, none of that. This book is simple, complex and points to greater things. Great for men who want to understand why morality is necessary and how it can create a better personal life. Wow. This book could save lives. I'm sure it has.

A very strange little book that talks about stoicism, Aristotle, metaphysics, buddhism...

While I have no evidence, it does feel right that society has declined somewhat with the failure to ensure people, and particularly boys and young men take responsibility for their actions. Too many of them are almost in a primal, animalistic state with no access to higher thought and focused on fighting, status and women.

I'm not sure who I would recommend this book to but as strange as it is I am sure most opened minded people would find some interesting points in there.

Fantastic read

This is such an important book that every man AND woman should read. Honestly, I wish this book was double and even triple its original size due to the amount of metaphysical wisdom regarding sex and sexuality.

I am very glad I have bought this book and have learned a lot from it. It would probably require another read for me to fully grasp the ideas in it.

My brother Sean's book. It's a surprising, offbeat retelling of Aristotelian philosophy, and in particular, the nature of virtue, which, as my brother James' noted, is really about knowing what you really want, and sticking to it. (Aristotle: the management of the appetites by right reason.)

The title was a gamble that didn't really pay off, as it put off more people than it attracted, but nonetheless, this is a worthwhile read.

This IS one-a-kind. Not often you'll read "waxing the dolphin" and "Three Laws of Thermodynamics" in the same book.

"MANAGE YOUR DESTRUCTIVE IMPULSES WITH CYBER KINETICS (D.I.C.K.) is one of the most unusual books you will ever read." OK, I might give them that.

"It is also one of the most important." Sorry, no way!
