What is your true purpose in life? What do women really want? What makes a good lover? If you're a man reading this, you've undoubtedly asked yourself these questions, but you may not have had much luck answering them. Until now.

In The Way of the Superior Man, David Deida explores the most important issues in men's lives, from career and family to women and intimacy to love and spirituality, to offer a practical guidebook for living a masculine life of integrity, authenticity, and freedom. Join this best-selling author and internationally renowned expert on sexual spirituality for straightforward advice, empowering skills, body practices, and more to help you realize a life of fulfillment, immediately and without compromise.

"It is time to evolve beyond the macho jerk ideal, all spine and no heart", writes David Deida. "It is also time to evolve beyond the sensitive and caring wimp ideal, all heart and no spine". The Way of the Superior Man presents the ultimate challenge, and reward, for today's man: to discover the "unity of heart and spine" through the full expression of consciousness and love in the infinite openness of the present moment.

Every Man, AND Women, should listen to this one!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I have talked about this book to many of my friends already.
A girl sent this to me in a text, so I immediately bought the audible book and listened 3 times.
It is the kind of book you use as a reference and listen over and over.

What other book might you compare The Way of the Superior Man to and why?

I have listened and ready many books in the emotional intelligence category, such as Think and Grow Rich, Change Your Habits, Change Your Life...ect, not exactly in this genre. ....Didn't think I needed it. After listening to it just a bit, I realized this was an awesome book.
The writer does NOT waist time blabbing on about his credentials or off topic nonsense.... He is ON point all the way through.

Have you listened to any of David Deida’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

No not yet.... I will be now!

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes!

Any additional comments?

Amazingly Profound

This book gave some powerful insights in my relationship. If you can open your mind to David's style you can find some incredible insights in your relationships. His artistic descriptions of Masculine and Femine Energy is one of the most enlightening paradigms I have come across. For both men and women this could create a lasting shift in an incredibly positive direction.

Supplement to the Book.

The book is a must have. This is a good supplement but must read book first. Story is lacking and just provides principles that are in the book. Recommend reading the book and also reading Intimate Communion. The principles will seem repetitive but good reassurance and further guidance.

Woman energy

I liked how there was a push to connect to darkness as a form of love. I think it would have been interesting to hear more about forgiveness and shared effort in that pursuit. I think the woman (energy) is more active.

Oh MY! I got the vapors listening to this!!

I purchased this book out of curiosity and couldn't stop listening. Super-charged love practices bringing presence and heart connection to embrace all aspects of love; dark and light. Mesmerizing!

Every Man should read this book. Every woman too.

Would you listen to The Way of the Superior Man again? Why?

Yes. It seems a little different from the book, but full of information about the real way men and women work. Deida has really figured out men and especially women. I recommend this book to all couples I know, and tell men if they want to figure out women, they should read this book. Every time I listen, there is something I didn't notice before. It makes me think deeper and has been very helpful in my relationships.

What other book might you compare The Way of the Superior Man to and why?

David Deida's book about conscious relationships. Same ideas with more practical day to day applications.

Have you listened to any of David Deida’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I've seen video of him and it is definitely consistent with his style though adapted for recording. If I had not seen his video, his voice might be a little annoying, but the information is good stuff.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

I like the way he explains that men work as opposed to women. Deida really points out how we've been socially trained to fight against our nature as being deeply feminine or deeply masculine. It really helped me to see how I've been my own worst enemy in an effort for equality between men and women. In the bedroom, I want to be a woman, and I want my man to be a man. This information was very freeing and enlightening, and definitely led to improving my love life.

Any additional comments?

I've been recommending David Deida books for years. I think any smart man or woman who sincerely desires to have a deep relationship would do well to read this book in particular. This book is a secret to be shared.
