Summary

In the decades since the initial publication of The Way of the Superior Man, society has changed significantly. Issues of gender and sexuality long confined to secrecy have become part of everyday conversation, and rigid ideas about our societal roles have begun to dissolve.

And yet, perhaps now more than at any time, men of all ages still “tussle with the challenges of women, work, and sexual desire.” In this unabridged audiobook of the classic guide to masculine spirituality, David Deida encourages men and women to lean into the conversation and offer their most valuable assets to the world—their authentic heart and depth of presence.

More relevant than ever, The Way of the Superior Man offers a view of a more conscious and embodied masculinity. “It is time to evolve beyond the macho jerk ideal, all spine and no heart”, writes Deida. “It is also time to evolve beyond the sensitive and caring wimp ideal, all heart and no spine.”

Including a new preface written in celebration of the book’s 20th anniversary, The Way of the Superior Man presents the next generation of with the opportunity to grapple with fear, cultivate trust in the moment, and put forth the best versions of themselves in an ever-changing world.

Really enjoyed this book

Wish I’d read this years ago, somebody had mentioned the narrator is terrible, I assume it has been re recorded because the one I’ve just listened to was very good. Some nuggets of info that I’ll be using from now on, I’ll buy the book so I can make notes it’s that good.

Great!!!! Highly recommend.

Loved this, radical and challenging concepts on masculinity, femininity and how we can utilise each energy for our way of being in the world.

I hope this is a good conservative book

I like books that are hated by the woke liberals so will check this one gladly. We need to go back to our traditional ways or this new woke religion will destroy us as society.

The Masculinity Bible

Honestly this book is a phenominal break down of how to embrace you're nature as a man. All of the comments saying that it makes no sense are likely from extremely depolarised feminine men, who cant see that "making a million dollars and then having your wife complain about milk" is a hyperbolic example of a very common occurance.

Ignore the bad reviews. This book will help you improve yourself as a man and maintain a happy healthy relationship with the woman in your life.

Concepts of masculine energy

All in all a good guide for men to sort out their problematic life’s. But at some points it just sounded far fetched and out of touch with itself. But yeah a good read.

Brilliant and worth the buy if you're masculine

This book has seriously helped me learn to embrace my true masculine potential, I would recommend it (and have done so) to any man who wants to have more success with the feminine, and to feel good about being masculine.
I've been somehow conditioned into feeling awkward about being attracted to women, like it's some sort of perversion, but this book helped me to see that it's not! I used to do well with women but my disease put a stop to that. But after listening to this book again, I feel confident again!

Don't listen to the few feminists on here, who think that androgenic women are healthy and that women don't act like the women described in this book. The modern world has killed both masculinity and femininity; this book is a step forward to resurrecting the natural way of masculine and feminine.
Sure, it's very stereotypical and does not apply to every masculine or feminine person. However, stereotypes are stereotypes for a bloody good reason. If you think that the woman described in this book is somehow not realistic, then you're probably inexperienced with women. At least feminine women.

This book will make you feel good about being a masculine person, it will show you a lot of where you may have gone wrong in past relationships (I can attest to that) and help you learn from your mistakes. Hopefully, in the future, you won't be making so many mistakes with your women!
Grow your confidence and be a man! (or a masculine woman)

Non-PC and it needed to be!

I would recommend this to all men to:
get in alignment, or stay in alignment with what our core energies dictate.
Quite a few takeaways I'll implement from this especially congregating with my friends more frequently, lifting each other up and holding each other accountable to be better versions of ourselves in all facets of life!
