The Way of Men
by Jack Donovan
Description:
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
My opinion:
A necessary book for every man in this day and age. There aren't many good books on the history & evolution of mankind, but this one encapsulates it perfectly.
Favorite quote:
“Men cannot be men—much less good or heroic men—unless their actions have meaningful consequences to people they truly care about. Strength requires an opposing force, courage requires risk, mastery requires hard work, honor requires accountability to other men."
