What Is a Man’s Greatest Ambition?

Award-winning filmmaker Ken Kimmelman is one of the noted speakers at this public seminar, which also includes Aesthetic Realism consultants Jeffrey Carduner and Ernest DeFilippis. Not only does Aesthetic Realism explain with resounding clarity what a person’s greatest ambition is—it also shows what gets in the way of our going after and achieving it. That’s what the speakers will make clear.

With instances from their own lives, and from the lives of men in film, sports and literature—including Abraham Cahan’s The Rise of David Levinsky—the speakers will show that we have two opposing ambitions. One is based on the desire to respect the world; the other, on the desire to have contempt for the world. When a man’s ambition is based on the first, he’s truly proud, imaginative, efficient, kind. When—in business, education, love—it’s based on the second, he cannot like himself; and even if that ambition is “successful,” he feels unsure and deeply dissatisfied.

The speakers will tell about the exciting education that takes place in Aesthetic Realism consultations, enabling men to have ambition they can be proud of, in life, work, love—everywhere!
