That's a tall order. Have you found an author that's come close to fulfilling that expectation?

Sadly no , I just read 2 but left my disapointed . One of them encouraged me to beat my children in order to buid up will power backing his theory with a story of how his mother abused him physicaly so that he wouldn't cry, that was on page 505 , after reading that page I just throwed the book away.

Good for you.

Have you ever read Friedrich Nietzsche? Not exactly pop psy, but he has a way of awakening dormant energies within the psyche.

Alan Watts too. Not very familiar with him, but his approach sounds more like what you may be looking for.

I read about his work on wikipedia , he has interesting ideas too bad that some people missunderstand them . But I need to read his books in order to get a feel of him.

If you don't mind my asking, what made you conclude deism?

Edit: well, I guess you're "not sure" too...

Nietzsche

It sayes Deism but i don't really identify with it but it comes closest to what I think, that is why it says 'not sure'. I really got rid of my religion because it was obvious that if I could show more emphaty than the God described that they got it wrong. I think that most of the religions are written by people who believed a God existed than tryed to impose on other what they thinked about what God wanted from us.
