Publisher Description
In the decades since the initial publication of The Way of the Superior Man, society has changed significantly. Issues of gender and sexuality long confined to secrecy have become part of everyday conversation, and rigid ideas about our societal roles have begun to dissolve.
And yet, perhaps now more than at any time, men of all ages still “tussle with the challenges of women, work, and sexual desire.” In this unabridged audiobook of the classic guide to masculine spirituality, David Deida encourages men and women to lean into the conversation and offer their most valuable assets to the world—their authentic heart and depth of presence.
More relevant than ever, The Way of the Superior Man offers a view of a more conscious and embodied masculinity. “It is time to evolve beyond the macho jerk ideal, all spine and no heart”, writes Deida. “It is also time to evolve beyond the sensitive and caring wimp ideal, all heart and no spine.”
Including a new preface written in celebration of the book’s 20th anniversary, The Way of the Superior Man presents the next generation of with the opportunity to grapple with fear, cultivate trust in the moment, and put forth the best versions of themselves in an ever-changing world.

i was confused from the mixed reviews but glad i gave this book a try anyway. i recommend you look pass the reviews and give it a listen as well. the info on masculine and feminine energy gives a lot of understanding on why people act a certain way. and a lot of good takeaways in this book to turn into habits.

Sexism dressed as enlightenment
If you’re a bro douche searching for a higher way of living, then I guess this is the book for you. In the beginning there is a nod to different kinds of relationships and sexual orientations, but the author says it would be too hard to always account for all the different types of relationships and orientations, so he’ll just continue with speaking to the hetero man and hetero woman. Then with that quickly out of the way, he settles into very stereotypical male/female paradigms. I just couldn’t hear him say “your woman” one more time. A simple find and replace every “your woman” and change to “your partner” and every “her” to “them” would make the whole book more accessible. There are definitely sexist views on how women act and think. There are some good suggestions on how to live authentically, but mixed into a lot of bs and overly sexualized language - even when he’s not discussing sex or intimacy.
