The Romantic Ideal—The Highest Standard of Romance for a Man: A Hopeless Romantic's Exploration of M

"Winner: 2025 PenCraft Seasonal Book Award Winner: Atlas of Stories Award With signature depth and insight, Gregory V. Diehl explores life as a man who embraces the boldest romantic ideals, a man who pursues romantic self-expression, self-determination, and self-actualization as his primary mission in a world so often set against it. His new book examines the hidden depths of masculine intimacy and passion, romantic compatibility, a man’s unignorable sexual curiosity and burden, and the challenging quest to fall in love and bond with one’s complementary soulmate in willing interdependence between the masculine and feminine. A self-actualized man in romance seeks the influence found only in the right woman, the feminine force who brings color, beauty, and connection to his estranged life. The Romantic Ideal—The Highest Standard of Romance for a Man helps men identify mature and healthy ways to deal with these timeless trials of masculinity. For women, it offers eye-opening transparency about the quintessential masculine experience of sex, love, intimacy, and romantic aspirations beyond dating, flowers, and trying to get laid. Includes a feminine foreword by registered psychotherapist Svetlana Sevak, MA, RP."

Everyone Is an Entrepreneur: Selling Economic Self-Determination in a Post-Soviet World

"Westerners today grow up with abundant opportunities to determine their own values, identities, and roles in society. But for generations, millions who lived under Soviet rule in the USSR had these essential freedoms withheld, determined instead by a central authority that claimed the right to choose for them and enforce their compliance. Thirty years after the Soviet Union’s decisive collapse, the old communist paradigm continues to limit those who come of age in a post-Soviet world. Everyone Is an Entrepreneur showcases the experience of an American author acclimating to life in the developing post-Soviet economy of Armenia. Along the way, he examines how the intelligent and hardworking people he lives among are stuck in a state of transition away from all-encompassing, bureaucratic control. They struggle to adjust to the responsibilities of economic self-determination because they have never learned how to see the world through entrepreneurial eyes. Entrepreneurship is a principled way of seeing the world, a paradigm that applies to people in all cultural and economic circumstances: Artists, office workers, doctors, teachers, farmers, and laborers alike. By adopting this universal outlook, anyone can produce more wealth, accomplish bigger goals, and take control of their life like never before."

The Heroic and Exceptional Minority: A Guide to Mythological Self-Awareness and Growth

"Many people struggle throughout their lives, unable to identify the source of great inner existential discontent. No matter their material comfort or good fortune, they cannot escape the idea that they do not live the lives they ought to. They are not in environments that support their deepest personal growth and development. They are not the people they feel they are meant to be, and the world never works the way they know it could. Every day, exceptional minds like these begin to suspect that the way they operate is different than the norm. They realize early on that they have profound capacities for original insight, feeling, action, choice, and meaning. But without mentoring guidance or a sense of social belonging, they feel lost—alone and alienated in their individuality. What can we do to better understand the hidden parts of ourselves, to prevent our uncommon personal growth and development from becoming bridled by pressures toward the conventional? How can we learn to identify and embody the heroic values that matter most to us? The answer lies in deep personal inquiry about the shared existential strengths and limitations that define us, including how to apply them to our self-improvement in our incompatible world. The Heroic and Exceptional Minority is an audacious call to self-development for men, women, and teens plagued by mythological doubt, who feel stuck in a mediocre environment and an unheroic era. Its premise is timeless, clear, and simple: The only way to understand oneself, realize our potential, and change the world for the better is to embrace who and what we really are."
