Jack DonovanThe Way of Men

"The Way of Men" by Jack Donovan is a thought-provoking examination of masculinity and what it means to be a man in the modern world. The book explores the fundamental traits that are associated with traditional masculinity, including strength, courage, mastery, and honor, and argues that these traits are necessary for men to thrive in any society.Donovan draws on a wide range of sources, including anthropology, psychology, and history, to make his case for why these traits are so important. He argues that modern society has lost touch with the essential nature of masculinity, and that this has resulted in a crisis of identity for men.One of the strengths of the book is its clear and concise writing style. Donovan is able to convey complex ideas in a way that is easy to understand, and his arguments are backed up by ample evidence and research. He also avoids the trap of being overly prescriptive, instead offering a framework for men to understand themselves and their place in the world.However, the book has been criticized by some for being overly focused on a narrow definition of masculinity that excludes women and non-binary individuals. Some readers have also accused Donovan of promoting a kind of hyper-masculinity that can be toxic and harmful.Overall, "The Way of Men" is a challenging and thought-provoking read that will be of interest to anyone who is interested in exploring the nature of masculinity and what it means to be a man in the modern world. While it may not be for everyone, it is a book that is sure to spark lively debate and discussion.

Why every man should read this book –1. Defines what masculinity is.2. Describes the skills needed to be a man.3. Exposes the sad truth about the present generation of weak men.4. Instills in men, the need to realize the sad truth and act.5. Makes you realize what it means to be a man.There is a dire need for the men of this generation to realize that the way of men is slowly declining. Look at our forefathers. They fought wars, built stuff, knew how to tie knots and how to fix things, mainly knew how to survive. Now, look at our generation, where most men are obese, and do not know what hardship is, leading sedentary lifestyles. There is a research paper showing a declining percent of testosterone levels among men of this generation. What happened is the question to be asked.This book is the answer. The book talks about ways to describe what makes a man. It defines masculinity in the simplest of terms, takes history to define the duties of a man in a society. I felt a strange sense of melancholy as I realized the sad truth about the masculinity of this generation. The author goes in detail and explains the skills which makes a man a man. Remember, masculinity should not be toxic, like building huge muscles and growing huge beards, it’s about being useful to society, contributing one way or the other for the betterment of society. Masculinity requires courage, power and mastery.The book gives various reasons why men are getting weaker and why masculinity is dropping at a drastic rate. The present society is breeding a generation of weak men.But the latter half of the book loses its touch and talks about politics and other stuff, which I think veers off from the main idea of the book.The book must be read by every man, to realize the growing need to be more masculine in a society that wants it dead.

This book was written in 2012. I reading it in 2024.I can attest that the author has been able to completely predict correctly the machinations of the state, the feminists and the homosexuals (alphabet soup included) against Men and the Natural state of things.Worth a read, worth a thought.

This book is not written in words, but dynamite. There are so many thought-provoking and blunt but true assessments in this book of masculine psychology. We are now living in a very dystopian time when men are attacked from all sides just for being men, and probably things have always been like this, but this book lays out the condition of misandry in the modern society, both in developed and developing countries.The synthesis by Jack Donovan is sure controversial, but how honest and true to the core it is, you decide. I think that's the mark of a good book, with which you can have a real dialogue with. You may disagree, agree, but at the end, you'll come out with an exploration of your own and society's attitudes towards manliness.Highly recommended.

It was so powerful book. I am feeling the difference. Now I understand why they say- Be A MAN- . Why every man is so important. He has that natural power to Change the world . Thanks to Author JACK DONOVAN 🙏🙏

I like the thought process of men getting weaker as society has progressed. However, I feel as though the author has stretched that point for so long that it gets very repetitive.

I have understood why myself and other Men behave the way that we behave. Excellent book. The knowledge contained within this book is priceless.

The author has explained his point of view on the way of men. The author has explained the behaviour of men and how it was shaped as humans evolved, what the male of the species have always strived to achieve and how at present they are being moulded to live in a virtual masculine world. Towards the end of the book however the author has shown a way to be on track of the way of men. Even though at times the theory is a bit hard to follow. But, overall the book gives a good insight on the way of men.

The Way of Men was a great read. It clearly explained the core virtues of men. It is required reading for any man striving to fully embrace who he is at his core.

I enjoyed reading this. As a young man, it provided me with insight I never thought of before. It is very relevant in todays day & age. There are many ideas / concepts I strongly agree with & some I disagree with. Overall I enjoyed my time reading “The Way of Men”I recommend reading this to every man, even women.Provides great insight on manly virtues & briefly goes over the history of humanity & how men played a major part in the development of todays, western, society.

Interessante Sichtweisen und Motivation um nicht zu der verweichlichten „Männerwelt“ von heute zu gehören.

Spot on

This was an easy read, read it in about 3 nights. Some great points. Lots of stuff to take away. There was no hating on women, just outlining the importance of men who are good at being men. An amazing read, I highly reccomend
