I've read parts of his book Way Of Men. I haven't finished it though. I'm not sure I agree with what he says about men needing validation from other men. It goes against my whole reason for running AM6 in the first place. I have yet to come across any book on masculinity that I agree with. Which is probably a good thing as I'm not looking to emulate anyone
Yea I can see what you're saying about that. A man shouldn't need validation from anyone in most situations at least. What I also don't necessarily agree with is his idea of men's need to be "part of the tribe" so to speak. But I do agree with the idea that a man needs strength and competence. I don't want to totally write him off though.
David Deida is your best source. That man has simplified masculinity and femininity so easily for me.
If you're done with "The way of the superior man", "Blue Truth" goes straight to the core. Lots of little gems in it.
So what does 'Blue Truth' cover that's different from TWOSP?
