Civilization.

"How would you like your eggs today, sir?" The question arrived with the calm of someone who has asked it a thousand times before. What was truly being asked was: How would you like to start your day at the top of the world? You glance out the window like someone waking under an unhurried sky and, with the measured voice of a man who always gets what he wants, you reply: "Poached. With Beluga caviar. And make sure they don’t get cold." Topics explored in my new eponymous work “The Hedonist Handbook” It delves into hedonistic pleasures, but with a darker twist. It does not speak of the glory of pleasure, but of its price. Not of delight, but of the precise moment when delight sharpens into something more dangerous, more cutting, more irreversible. Better not buy it if your attention span lasts no more than 30 seconds. This is not a handbook to skim in five minutes, but one to wear down like a fine brandy, savored sip by sip. In any case, here it is P.S.:News for the Gentlemen’s club members coming soon, Sirs.

A quick clarification. In the new book on dark hedonism, some themes are divided into two preludes. Let me explain: On one hand, it tells the story of gentlemen who, centuries ago, understood the art of living well better than anyone. So much so that if universities taught anything useful, their method would be a mandatory subject. Right from the start. —Good morning, students. Today, we’ll talk about finance. —Cryptocurrencies? —No, dear. About how a man with style got others to finance his pleasures without losing an ounce of dignity. —And is that useful in real life? —Only if you’re interested in flying first class without paying for it yourself. Alright. This part of the preludes continues in the book. One of the parts. Specifically, the second one. And the first prelude? What’s it about? Well, there’s a free preview that gives you a taste of some topics. I’ll just say this, if you want to make sure you get it, you need to join the Club during this first pre-sale. You don’t have to do anything. Just wait for the welcome message on the indicated date. There’s only one condition. You must join through this link: A book where men played at being gods and sometimes, they succeeded

There was another time, A time when a man adjusts the cuff of his white shirt, immaculate, made of egyptian cotton. At the bar of a hotel in Marunouchi, a woman in a perfectly cut black dress lights a cigarette with the calm of someone who has already understood that there is nothing to understand. A question lingers in your mind, does she accept the luxury of solitude as part of aesthetics? Don’t answer- The whisky in your hand is Yamazaki 18, but it could be anything else. Well, These are matters to touch in my most recent work. It’s shaping up to be a masterpiece one worthy of a price increase. For now, I won’t. It’s only $50, priced so low that anyone daring to peek behind the curtain can savor it without breaking the bank. It’s a solid investment if you enjoy to touch these matters, that is. In any case, it’s coming soon. Perhaps when you least expect it will be gone. Here’s the link

There was a sanctuary of aristocracy in an european city that had not yet prostituted itself to the tourism of dirty sneakers and influencers with inflated follower counts. A fiefdom where elegance was not a costume but a birthright. There, power was served in cut crystal glasses and sealed with eloquent silences. It didn’t matter what you ordered -partridge, pheasant, a consommé filtered more times than a De Beers diamond- what mattered was who you were and whether you had the blood or the sheer brutality to sit there without trembling. Well, These are matters I touch in my new work: “The Hedonist’s Guide to Pleasure.” It’s shaping up to be a masterpiece one worthy of a price increase. For now, I won’t. It’s only $50, priced so low that anyone daring to peek behind the curtain can savor it without breaking the bank. It’s a solid investment if you enjoy to touch these matters, that is. In any case, it’s coming soon. Perhaps when you least expect it will be gone. Here’s the link

Today I'm going to tell you why most people don't get what they want. And why they don't enjoy life either. I'll explain it with an easy to understand example. Look. Imagine you're at a restaurant with an outstanding menu, okay? A place where foie is actually foie and not tourist pâté. Where lobster doesn’t come with rice just to cheapen the perceived cost. But what does the fool do? What does someone who's never tasted good caviar do? What does the one who deprives themselves of pleasure to “save” do? They order a starter instead of the main course .. Listen, my dear ones, That’s not eating, that’s surviving. Like the person who carries a lunchbox to every city they visit. Like the one who buys their perfume, at the supermarket. So, yeah. I have a book. It’s good. I show how rich people live with pleasure. Just by avoiding a couple of mindset mistakes, you'll achieve more in life than most people. It’s a serious self published book. The book, I mean. It sells a lot. The book, The book. You'd enjoy it more if you DIDN'T read it in five seconds. If you actually paid attention to it. But don’t expect miracles either. I mean, you'll have to put in some effort. Most people don’t put in much effort. That’s why they live halfway. Anyway, there’s a chapter called "Lust - prelude II"… …if you apply what’s in there, you’ll automatically be perceived as magnetic. And being magnetic is good for pleasure and for life, which are the same thing. Now, be warned, what I explain in that chapter is very hard to apply. Very, very easy to understand. But it takes guts to put it into practice. And most people don’t have them. It is what it is. Guts and roe, no offense to those who eat tofu as a form of penance. In any case, open the book and go straight to the chapter called "Lust - prelude II". Apply that to your life starting now, dear reader. A firm handshake. Great day.

Look dear reader, More than once, I've been told that just by seeing what I order at a restaurant, people have changed what they were going to get. Not once or twice, many times. In life, this is very important. A lot of people watch what others choose and follow along. Because indecision is an endemic disease and good taste, a lighthouse in the dark. I was at a restaurant in Milan and saw a man order an 800 euro bottle of wine with the same ease others order tap water. I thought: some people just live and couldn’t give a shit. I kept watching him. What a boss. Thank you for the enlightenment. Anyway. That was just a random lunch. And I’m telling you this because one must have an ethics of pleasure. Mind the details. Mind the details obsessively. You can’t just eat anything, drink anything, love in any way. You mustn’t. So, in “The Hedonist’s handbook”, I’ll tell you which bottle was opened that day. For now, I’ll just say this is the best book of all, because it includes certain secrets (this is the first time I’m giving something like this away). And a paragraph explaining how to make others want what you have. But only if you get it here:
