Summary

A More Complete Beast is men's writer Jack Donovan's third book in a series that started with the runaway cult hit, The Way of Men. The second book, Becoming a Barbarian, showed disconnected modern men - men born into the anti-identity "Empire of Nothing" - how to think tribally. 

In A More Complete Beast, Donovan picks up Friedrich Nietzsche's thoughts on nobility and master morality and uses them to guide men through an "upside-down" modern world, avoid the trap of hateful ressentiment, and overcome adversity through creativity.

In Donovan's hands, Nietzsche's words are rasps and chisels to help men refine a strength-based ethos, revealing their highest and noblest selves to become more complete men. And, as Nietzsche reminded us, man is a beast - so to become a more complete man is always to become a more complete beast.

Articulate, bombastic & inspirational.

I’ve read almost all of Jack Donovan’s work in text format up until now. The opportunity to download this came after I’d downloaded the app for another file so rather than order a hard copy I thought I’d go for the audiobook. I was not disappointed at all. The powerful narration of the text makes it a vivid experience that I’m ready to listen to again as soon as I’d finished. In a more complete beast Jack weaves together themes from philosophy, mythology, & his own body of work to address a common mindset trap that men often fall into in the “empire of nothing”. It’s articulate, bombastic & inspirational. Not many writers speak as well as they write, I’d probably always go for the audio version of anything he releases first in the future & a paper copy as back up.

Well done

This book addresses the ways in which we might begin to change ourselves, and, with Titanic struggle, our world to be more simmilar to the Men of old.

Glorious!

I find it very hard to listen to this without wanting to beat my chest, lift weights and bring my dreams into creation.

Thank you Jack for this book. It's men like you that are helping me be the man I want to be.
