This is awesome, Matthew. Been thinking about vitality a lot this past year. Love how you took the idea and provided a structured reading/seminar for it. Thank you!
Also, recommend Lears' book No Place for Grace. Amazing history of how the turn of the century anti-modernist movement was a way to inject more vitalism into Westerners' lives. Lears hits on it a bit in Animal Spirits, but goes really deep into it in this book.
No Place for Grace was a big inspiration of our "scouts for men" program we have with AoM called The Strenuous Life. All about providing some brass tacks structure to inject more vitalism in your life. Not sure what Lears would say about our attempt. Probably would have some sort of Marxist social critique about it. Ha! Just doing what we can with the field of action we find ourselves in at the moment.
I'm not going to be able to buy all of the books, but can buy some and will read what I can. I'm sure I will still get a lot out of it. Thanks in advance.
Let me clarify. There is no “live” event on offer. Rather, we will read these texts on our own time. On Fridays I will post an overview of, and reflection on, that week’s readings, and a video that will include a report of additional insights arrived at in the course of the in-person seminar at St. Pats. Those of you who wish can discuss the readings and respond to one another in the comments section. I will chime in myself. All of this will be paywalled — that is what is on offer, for the standard $5 per month subscription that also gets you the full archive here. I hope that helps! -Matt
