The Way of the Superior Man

By: David Deida

Narrated by: Cecil Archbold

Length: 5 hrs and 22 mins

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.

Superior man's handbook

The "Spiritual Guide" part got me sceptical about the content quality of the book. However, make no mistake this book is essential to (almost) every single man.

I mostly read the science-based books, however, this one has profoundly changed my personal life as well as the relation with my wife.

One of the greatest books I’ve read

Amazing book recommended to every men out there seeking for becoming their best alpha version

Food for the soul

This book describes me (feminine woman). After listening to this book a few times through, I feel like I have been released from the guilt of my feelings. Now I feel more confident being my natural feminine self and less pressed to be masculine. I’m grateful 😄

A must read for every man

I did not know what to expect with this book. It truly resonated with me as I read it after my divorce and I can see where I went wrong in my past relationships. I can also see a much better way forward for my future relationships.

I Get It

I got this book at the recommendation of a friend but didnt make it a priority to finish until my life started taking me in a direction where I could benefit from so extra guidance and wisdom. There is a lot of great material in this book; some that I can see with my own two eyes is very valid, other points will require more life experience to validate for myself, but overall I gained a lot from this book. and the narrator is perfect for this book. He makes it every easy to listen to. probably my favorite part of the whole book. will finish AT LEAST 2 more times.

For beginners and those looking to sharpen up

This book can help anyone, it touches many subjects and it will definitely touch you one way or another. This book allowed me to sharpen up all my skills and realize there is a lot more to being a man and it explains it. You can apply this knowledge on your day to day. If you are an insecure guy this is definitely for you. If you think you know everything about women. This book is for you.

A Must Read!!

If you are searching for your purpose, you must read this. Everyman needs to hear this message!!

Good book, too Extreme

the book is clear in it's statement that it is meant for very masculine oriented men, and as an information directed to such public the conclusion are a bit to extreme in some regards, sometimes even too over the top. If one reads this book with weariness and skepticism, there are some worth the while nuggets in there. read this with caution and foremost, don't take the advice to the letter, integrate and experiment.

Every man should be required to read this book

My new bible, if you have the chance to give this to a young man please do.

The Cheat Code!

Every man should read this book. Absolutely a need especially if you are in or plan on being in a relationship.
