Story
Good, modern, civilized Western men today are expected to think like "citizens of the world" - obligated to everyone and no one. Natural, meaningful tribal connections have been substituted with synthetic, disposable consumer identities. Without a sense of who they are and what group they have a place in, modern men are becoming increasingly detached, disoriented, vulnerable, and ever more easily manipulated.

Story
In A More Complete Beast, Jack 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.

Power has an appearance and appearance has power. Ideally those two would line up together and the world would be full of good, masculine men who dress and look like good masculine men. But all too often, reality is something different. There are good men and strong leaders out there who dress and look like children or bums. There are awful, lazy men in the world who dress in a way that hides their vices from those around them and makes them appear better than they truly are. In an attempt to correct for these disparities, our current culture tries to rob both appearance of its power and power of its appearance - to say that the way a person dresses or looks doesn’t - or at least shouldn’t matter.

Men have been conditioned to be the quintessential "nice guy". They're trained to be overly humble, kind to a fault, and that just "being themselves" is enough to attract and keep the woman of their dreams. Men are told to believe that conventional masculinity is toxic and to put women ahead of their own interests, passions, and purpose. This book exposes the comforting lies you've been told throughout your life for what they really are, enabling you to become a truly authentic alpha who chases excellence and leads a successful passion-filled life.

In this contribution to the emerging men's movement, Robert Moore, a Jungian psychoanalyst and Douglas Gillette, a mythologist, examine the inner King - one of the four archetypes on the male psyche. The inner King integrates power and nurturing, firmness and caring, courage and creativity, self-affirmation and self-sacrifice. From his central position between the world of imagination and the world of action, the King within challenges every man to take up his own scepter, to dream and to make them come true.

Story
Every man is born with just one thing: his sovereignty - his power to respond to his environment and his circumstances. Unfortunately, most men have spent much of their lives giving away that sovereignty. Every time a man passes blame or shirks his responsibility, every time he makes excuses for his performance, and every time he trades his unlimited potential for a little perceived safety and security, he willingly submits himself to the mercy of others.

The Rational Male® - Religion is an exploration of human intersexual dynamics and their influence on spiritual belief, religion, and social values. In this fourth book of the Rational Male series author, Rollo Tomassi, connects the dots between human beings' evolved mating imperatives and the spiritual beliefs spawned by them that still influence society in the data age. It is a Red Pill look under the hood at the roots of men and women's "need to believe" in love, God and the metaphysical to solve our mating imperatives.

Summary
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.

Really-really bad. Don't buy! Apart from the misinformation, it also lacks creativity. I feel like the author has played some video games, watched some series and movies and wanted to make a book about what he thinks makes a man. There is no strong core to this book.

Words from an father or uncle I wish I had
If you could sum up The Way of Men in three words, what would they be?
Retrospective, reassuring and aspiring.
What did you like best about this story?
I loved the contrast between men of old to men in this day and age. Jack describes man's need for skill mastery and strength in order to attain social standing. He also explains the need for male company, camaraderie and team work.
Any additional comments?
Don't get me wrong, I have my dad and uncles in my life but I haven't felt they've been rolemodels to pull me aside and grant manly wisdom. Though I've sought their guidance, most times i'm given generic anecdotes or no answer at all which leaves the women to raise the most of me.
But I digress... I recommend this book to any boy approaching adulthood or any man deemed as a "nice guy".
My only gripe with this audiobook is when Jack always says "Quote" when referring to a quotation.
In my opinion i'd prefer
"As the saying goes: {quotation}. {author, year}" or "{author} once said, {quotation}"

very blackpilled and nihilistic
I recommend reading The Rational Male instead. The Way of Men is too blackpilled and nihilistic. The author denounces our fem-centric world, but doesn't give any advice. I didn't learn anything new from this book. it's written poorly as well. So my advice is to go for other authors like Rollo Tomassi and Richard Cooper.

A very, very good book and well worth a read, you will learn lots and it will motivate you. However it spends alot of time just telling you to establish a tribe or 'gang' of good mates in alot of different ways. It's good to hear it in the author's own voice and I smashed it out in two days, I also loved chapter 13, it really sent shivers down my spine!

I was assigned by one of the presidents of the Motorcycle Club that I am prospecting for to read this. I started the book off with a mindset of... let me just get this task done so that I can appease him. After the first two chapters I found myself intrigued, addicted, blown away by the morals and values of what Jack Donovan was preaching.

A book I plan on reccomending my sons
Where to start? An amazing book which makes you understand yourself as a man better, and how we fit into this world.
It addresses and answers so many questions a man goes through life asking himself. What does it mean to be a man? What does it mean to be a good man? What does it mean to be good at BEING a man?
Most importantly. This book talks about what sort of lifestyle/society humanity had come from, and the dark direction we are going towards. It does get a bit dark towards the later chapters, but all throughout it is attention grabbing and interesting book.
It talks about topics of survival, masculinity, femininity, strength, courage, mastery, honor, society amongst many.
Chapter 13 was the one that hit home the hardest, look forward to it.
Give it a try, it was really a great book which I plan on letting my sons read. It will help you understand yourself better, what more could you ask for, for a mere 15 bucks?
Only reason for 4/5 Performance is that a small portion of the book, had choppy recorded audio and skipped. But it went away as book progressed. The book is narrated by the author, which conveys the information smoothly.
Some related books one might also read after this: No More Mr Nice Guy By Robert Glover and 48 Laws of Power by Robert Greene.

A good primer for more in depth exploration of men and masculinity
As a man that leads hundreds of men in the topics pertinent to men and masculinity, I have some issues with some notions Donovan presents. The balance between brawny and intellectual representation of masculinity is missed and shows a lack of finesse. There are times to be the traditional warrior, times to be the diplomat, and times to be both. Yet, the presentation is geared more toward the warrior who has little skill in being a diplomat and near zero capability toward being both.
I would certainly recommend this book as one of many books for men who are interested in the topic should read in order to expand their understanding of the full spectrum of perceptions and opinions on the matters discussed. But if you are looking for a book that will be a great guide into the world of masculinity and men, this book would be dangerous to base your future thoughts and conversations on. It’s off the mark enough to make you more hazard than help.

Eye Opening Introspective Look
Jack has written one of the most eye opening books I have ever read. Chapter 13 especially made me realize how society uses men and seeks to replicate pseudo masculine activities in an effort to placate men to get them to do it's bidding. I look forward to reading another book by Jack Donovan, Becoming A Barbarian, which was not available on Audible at the time this review was written.

Celebrating toxic masculinity
If you're in a militia - Oath Keepers, Aryan Brotherhood, Proud Boys - this is the book for you. Otherwise, no. You'd have to go back about 10,000 years for this book to be relevant, or (as the book says) to when there's a zombie apocalypse. Short of that, there is nothing in this book that is relevant for today's needs or expectations of men. Even if you are aspiring military, this book misses what it takes to be successful in today's modern, mechanized, system-integrated, military.
Today's world is not "the strong survive" nor is a man's "value to the team" measured in brawn. Today's successful man fits into a society that values teamwork, productivity, collaboration, adding value, and not valuing women as trophies. I realize there's a subset of men who long for the day when a gun settles an issue or where men brawl in the street to prove their manhood. A society where brains fall to brute. A society boiled down to Mad Max. That's not where we are today. That's not what boys need to learn, nor what men need to hear.
If you want a book about Men Being Men, read "Can't Hurt Me" by David Goggins. It's still primal, but with at least a nod to reality. It's a book about a guy who sets goals, then does what it takes to achieve them, mostly physically (it must be said). Want a better book? Read "Shoe Dog" by Phil Knight. Also about a guy setting goals and doing what it takes to achieve them, but mostly mentally.
Take this book, and throw it in the trash.

Good at first, then it got weird.
I really liked the first two-thirds where the author made some very good, convincing points that get you thinking. Unfortunately, the last third ended up being a strange right-wing, anti-globalist rant and a deep dive into the realm of survivalist fantasy. I’ve lived in Somalia and other failed states, Jack, and I’m afraid they’re not exactly humanity’s high water mark. Feel free to play zombie apocalypse in the woods with your brahs, but I don’t suspect you’d last very long in the dog-eat-dog anarcho-libertarian wet dream that you champion. Real men live in the real world.
