BOOKS AND ESSAYS ON WHAT GOVERNS US AND WHAT IT TAKES TO GOVERN OURSELVES
Through books and long-form essays, Nusula examines pain, power, identity, moral psychology and the forces that shape human behaviour.
FEATURED BOOK
PAIN IS A PORTAL
THE ANATOMY OF INITIATION
Pain divides a life into before and after. What follows is not automatically growth.
Pain Is a Portal examines what happens to identity after pain makes the former self impossible to maintain.
It is not an argument for suffering. It is an examination of what pain exposes: the identities built for protection, the wounds mistaken for truth and the difference between enduring an experience and being transformed by it.
The book asks a more difficult question. When pain destroys the person you were, what determines the person who emerges?
FEATURED ESSAY
THE MYTH OF THE GOOD PERSON
Some of the most destructive people you will meet are certain they are good. Their certainty is part of the danger.
The Myth of the Good Person examines what happens when being ‘good’ becomes an identity to defend, even against evidence of the harm we cause.
Real goodness begins when innocence ends.
