What is masculinity? Ask 10 men, and you'll get ten vague, conflicting answers. Unlike any book of its kind, The Way of Men offers a simple, straightforward answer - without getting bogged down in religion, morality, or politics. It's a guide for understanding who men have been and the challenges men face today. The Way of Men captures the silent, stifling rage of men everywhere who find themselves at odds with the overregulated, overcivilized, politically correct modern world. If you've ever closed your eyes and wished for one day as a lion, this book is for you.

Having read a lot of books with substantial amount of research, I found this book lacking in facts, and overflowing with opinions, exaggerations and vague statements that try to sound like some unique profound wisdom. Nonetheless I didn't disagree with much of a what the author had to say. I would maybe recommend this book to an introvert or someone trying to be more manly to make male friends.

Nothing groundbreaking.

This book is a fresh overview and a splendid formulation of some old ideas and knowledge (I'd say of common sense even). Practically everyone acknowledges that men's friendship is different from women's. It is in men's nature to form group bonds, be it a sports team or a circle of friends, where mutual protection, strength, certain honor code and courage are ptesent. This "gang" becomes a source of life-assuring emotions, motivation and a driver for common growth.
At tought times there will be a necessity to work together with reliable people towards the common goal and, due to our physiological features, we (i.e. men) are the ones to do the "dirty", dangerous job. Thus, the network of ten men surpassess just a family unit. Also, Jack explores the major disturbing features of our modern society and how to address them. The book is a great asset for any man but also for any woman, wife or daughter. It is important to let both sides know why certain things are important, where the differences come from and why men's friends or "gang" has to be acknowledged by their female partners and relatives. In conclusion, we should act and build our own honest network of men, friends whom we can trust and respect. Recommended.

Narration was good as it was Jack Donovan who wrote the book. As he speaks you can tell he believes in what he is saying. Recommend this book

A good book to get you hyped to being a man

A very great book to add some perspective on how far we've come away from the men we once were as a whole. It takes struggle and hardship to build a man and although I agree with much of what he says, I see mostly opinionated rant over fact and optimism.

He not once talked about his routine or how "he" challenges himself to grow as a man, rather than calling our generation a bunch of sissies. (He's not wrong). This is a great book to lead into "hard Times Create Strong Men" by Stefan Aarnio.

A Great Book for Some Perspective
