About this listen
Josh Holyfield is a combat veteran with over 15 years of experience deploying and supporting the US Army and Special Operations. Josh used health fitness to help him overcome the mental and emotional challenges of serving in the military during combat deployments and then transitioning from that career to becoming a civilian.
For over a decade after his military service, he worked as a federal contractor and federal employee serving global SOF operations, and in 2019, he started The Josh Holyfield Project. Since starting, he's helped over 40,000 men with the tools and resources needed to transform their bodies and minds using techniques that focus on creating sustainable habits rather than short-term results. In early 2021, he walked away from his federal position to help men full-time by offering programming and coaching to men worldwide.
This book serves as a guide for men who are tired of being tired and are looking for the tools they need to step back into their power as masculine leaders, rebuid their confidence, and defeat the war against mediocrity.

What does it mean to be a man in the modern world? Throughout history, being a man has meant different things. Maybe being a man was about being a good hunter, or a good soldier, a good businessman, or maybe good with women. Hard Times Create Strong Men examines what it means to be a man in the modern world relative to money, sex, religion, and politics. This audiobook examines what worked and what doesn’t work based on proven history instead of feelings.

Men who want to live with more power, groundedness, and clarity. Men who want to inspire more trust, lust, and devotion from their partner. But this is confusing territory. The modern world tells you that Masculine energy is toxic. And that we’re all the same. That you need to be a Nice Guy that plays it safe. For most men, it is not at all clear HOW to live more from their Masculine core.

The world’s greatest bodybuilder. The world’s highest-paid movie star. The leader of the world’s sixth-largest economy. That these are the same person sounds like the setup to a joke, but this is no joke. This is Arnold Schwarzenegger. And this did not happen by accident. Arnold’s stratospheric success happened as part of a process. As the result of clear vision, big thinking, hard work, direct communication, resilient problem-solving, open-minded curiosity, and a commitment to giving back. All of it guided by the one lesson Arnold’s father hammered into him above all: be useful.

We may not wear a uniform, eat in a mess hall, or dodge actual bullets for a living, but we are in a war - a very crucial one. Just walk into any room of people and you'll find immeasurable pain and wounds. On the outside we wear our camouflage well, but on the inside, deep within our own souls, we realize life is conflict. It is traceable to a single source: Satan, the adversary of our souls.

Men are not the enemy, and masculinity, contrary to what much of popular culture would have you believe, is the solution to what plagues individuals, families, and society as a whole. In The Masculinity Manifesto, author and podcaster Ryan Michler focuses on how a man can wield his power and lead others well with influence, credibility, and authority. Ryan refuses to accept the gradual and intentional decay of masculinity, instead he chooses to tackle the questions others are afraid to address.

To become the best bowhunter of wild elk, to the caliber he believed he could be, Cam realized he would need more than archery skills.

But this isn’t a journey that need be taken alone.

In his early 20s, Curtis Jackson, known as 50 Cent, rose to the heights of fame and power in the cutthroat music business. A decade ago, the multi-platinum selling rap artist decided to pivot. His ability to adapt to change was demonstrated when he became the executive producer and star of Power, a high-octane, gripping crime drama centered around a drug kingpin's family. The series quickly became "appointment" television, leading to Jackson inking a four-year, $150 million contract with the Starz network - the most lucrative deal in premium cable history.

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.

I've participated in Josh Holyfield's coaching program and the book goes hand and hand with the way they coach, I've originally participated in coaching to loose weight and get into shape, But the value of the Mental Growth I've had from this book and his coaching is something I cannot even put words to.

BE A MAN AND GET THIS BOOK!
If you’re a man you need this book, I’m about to start it over again. I started and finished it in a day at work. I’m a retired Air Force A-10 Jet troop and now work as a maintenance man for a investment group. I’ve been debating starting my lawn care and maintenance business back up after retiring in Georgia then moving to Ohio for two years and then back to Georgia. This book has told me what I NEED to do and follow my heart and Gods word. Mediocrity has overcome me in the last two years and I’m tired of it, just being comfortable isn’t cutting it. I want more from life and for my wife and kids to strive for the same thing. This book just confirmed what I’ve been thinking. Josh, you’re the inspiration I needed my man, from one Josh to another, thank you! I felt your words in my being.
Now I’m going to start the book again while I’m not working so I can really consume the teachings. Thank you brother……. Thank you

Mr. Holyfield is spot on with a lot of what he talks about and it’s what I needed in my life at this time to reenergize my personal growth! This book is blunt, honest, and passionately written and I resonated with a lot of what was said! Thank you Mr Holyfield for writing this
