Make a Living (Hardcover Book)

"Get Your Own Way" is not a book of easy answers, nor a theory of collapse, nor a promise of redemption. It is a chronicle of the collapse of grand narratives—political, economic, religious, and moral—and of the intimate price we pay when we delegate conscience, boundaries, and responsibility. It speaks of lost paradises, of visible and invisible collapses, of the darkening of intelligence and spirit. It is also a psychological exploration—clinical and forensic—through the personalities of Trump, Netanyahu, Musk, Epstein, and the CEOs of Palantir, of what can only be called a "Bestiary of the Human Mind." The work aims to reveal this era steeped in a spirit of profound degradation, a "Shitty Age" that also has its "banner-bearers" and a citizenry reduced to mere spectators of its own moral defeat. But above all, it seeks to show those who, without any guarantees, continue to act without betraying themselves. Not to save the world. Not to collaborate in its destruction.
 "Get yourself together" isn't one of those phrases people throw around when they abandon you, nor is it a "that's your problem." For me, it's quite the opposite: it's an ethical reminder, but a demanding one.
 It doesn't mean you have to manage on your own and keep quiet. Rather, it asks something uncomfortable of you: not to turn off your conscience, even though sometimes you might prefer to.
 To seek life today is to refuse to live as if hypnotized. It is to look at what they are selling us as "normal" and realize that it destroys our humanity. It is not justifying the unjustifiable with the excuse of "it's too complex." It is not becoming part of the crowd when fear grips us. It is not remaining silent if your silence ends up protecting the one who harms us.
 And be aware: nobody can do that for you.
 You don't have to be a hero. It's more about small, everyday moments of clarity: what you choose to see, what you share, what you decide to ignore, what you tolerate, what you let slide. It's about not losing your inner compass. About not turning off the flashlight when the room gets uncomfortable.
 The world doesn't fall apart just because of the violence of a few, but because many, without making a sound, are withdrawing.
 That's why this book doesn't ask for your faith, nor does it ask you to agree with everything. It only asks you to be present.
 Because as long as someone retains the capacity to see, think, and take responsibility, the final page has not yet been written.
 And that, although it doesn't save the world, saves something important: the dignity of continuing to live.
 So yeah, figure it out yourself. Seriously.
 Don't give your judgment to just anyone. Don't sell your way of thinking. Don't let others decide for you.
 Life isn't going to be handed to you on a silver platter. There won't be a paradise or a messiah to solve everything.
 But there will be something more fragile and more real: the possibility of living awake.
 That's what this book wants to offer you.
 It doesn't promise salvation. It only tries to help you see clearly. And today, in a world so full of noise and confusion, seeing clearly is a small act, but also a profoundly rebellious one.
