Publisher's summary

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.

If I only knew this when I was younger

Very insightful. Any man looking to improve his relationships with women should read this. These are the lessons I wish my Dad would have taught me but now that I know these things I will be able to tell my own sons.

Men are distracted and unbalanced today

This clearly lays out a strong case for the necessity of balance and higher vibration in both personal and professional life. Many of these concepts seem far more abstract prior to implementation into your life. Quite pleased to have spent my time in this book. I would 10/10 recommend it.

Every Man & Woman should read this!

We need more men in society to tap into their true nature as healthy, masculine men! And more women to support and understand healthy masculinity. This book has helped several of my friends to tap into their true nature and love more fully as the men God created them to be! And as a woman, it helped me to be a better supporter and encourager of healthy men all around me.

They must read for a man trying to connect

A definite must read if you were trying to connect with anyone on a deeper level especially a woman. I wish I would’ve had this book before I got married recently divorced and I feel like this is going to be the game changer between a successful relationship and not having a successful relationship

A book every man should read

I wish someone had given me this in high school and told me to read it 10-15x then every year there after.
